Jan Levine: How does the potential rise in the salary cap impacts the Rangers? Plus where they stand now...

Larry Brooks says it's likely Rangers wont sign Kravstov after his KHL season ends this year because he'd lose his exemption status by 2021 if they did, he'd be exempt from expansion draft if they just wait until after season

Carolina got some awful haul for Jeff Skinner

I know they have the great can't miss superstar Saarela in their pipeline, but god damn Buffalo hosed them

Lundkvist + Ragnarsson both named to the Swedish WJC roster.

Damn Hank is a little old to be playing with juniors

Saw that this morning as well. Have him play at Hartford on a tryout contract, so his ELC isn’t triggered. Makes a ton of sense.

Nico Gross for Switzerland as well.

I'll just feel comfortable when he is over here and out of Russia

I hate our prized prospects being stuck over there

hence why our #1 goalie prospect will never come over...

Oh man. Watching Tom Wilson get laid out by Reaves was just the thing i needed to see this morning. There's maybe 2 or 3 players in the league that I have no sympathy for in that situation and he is one of them

Skinner (frank)ed us. He wanted out, but he only wanted to go to a team near Toronto.

That and LeBrun says there wasn't much interest in him. L.A. is the only other team he knows made an offer but they pulled out after they got Kovalchuk.

I'm interested if team USA names Joey Keane. They normally don't take American kids playing the CHL.

- BINGO!

Carolina made the mistake of not trading Skinner before his NTC kicked in like the Rangers did with Stepan

I remember that when it was kicking in July 1st last year thinking they would do it

The next one. He's a swede and has decent hair. Gotta be good.

Egads! Shelteryourkin (This was a stretch and most certainly terrible. I offer no apologies)

Why do you think he won't come over? I always figured he'd be here at some point.

Different management group. Different owner. No way Francis would have done it.

Marchand for sure. Gudas is up there.

At least Marchand is actually good at hockey. I don't like him but his talent is still good for the league. Also, most of the time, his stupid actions don't seriously injure anyone. Not defending him really, but I don't think he's Tom Wilson/Matt Cooke-bad.

Gudas is knuckledragging trash.
