The hockey season is still about 2 months away, but training camp may open next month with both DeAngelo and Lemieux still unsigned. What is more concerning is the lack of information on any progress between the two sides.
It’s Going to Be Tight
The Rangers have around $1M in cap space after the Shattenkirk buyout. Once they have moved both Matt Beleskey and Brendan Smith to the AHL they will have over $3M. If both Brendan Lemieux and Tony DeAngelo sign their qualifying offers (both under $1M), the Rangers would have that breathing room they need for a call up in season.
