I was just listening to the guys on TVA sports and they were talking about P.K. Subban still not sign. Apparently he was asking for something like Dougthy money (wich is to much from the team standing point, and mine as well) and the team wants to give him a contract around 3,5 4 m.
Maybe ottawa could offer sheet at 5, 5.5 or try to trade for him. In both ways it will force Mtl hands wich would be great . What do you guys thinks about this a top for of Cowen Karlsson Methot Subban would be solid.
If we're going to offer sheet a defenceman I'd rather it be Kulikov.
I would like Del Zotto from the Rangers. They really will face Cap issues in future seasons. As a RFA.... He wants too much. We could give him more with no cap problems long term. Like 4.4 or 4.5 for 5 years. A bit of a risk but then we have 3 young great D long term in EL, Cowen and Del Zotto. He would fit into Maclean's system.
So the issue is who could we offer? The Rangers might want to sign him and keep him but the situation is he is reastically available. The Rangers want to win now. They are the Stanley Cup favorites. 8-1 in Vegas. But Del Zotto is their 4th defenceman. They will want a lot. Would they do it just for prospects? Maybe if Zibanejad is included plus. But they likely want a roster player... Probably a cheaper one. They could want Greening. I would not want to lose him but it could be worth it in a package? Could Condra actually play somewhere in their top 12? Torts would like him.
Hard for the Sens to give up roster players. Probably worth it for Del Zotto. Would you give up Greening and Zibanejad for Del Zotto?

Honestly, I'd be very close to saying yes to that.
Although I'd prefer to give up someone who's more bottom 6, because they're easier to replace... Someone like Condra, or Daugavins, or Da Bossta.
Can't they just bury him again? Is there any reason they can't in the new CBA?
I did see people's posts that they are fine regardless but I'm curious. The rangers definitely don't have cap trouble, so they will re-sign MDZ

Another important rule change is that it is no longer possible to bury a player with an undesirable salary in the minor leagues as the New York Rangers have been doing with Wade Redden. Starting in 2012-13, players in the minors who earn more than $900,000 will count against the salary cap.
I think it's the remainder of 900k, so Redden counts as 5.6ish or something.
