Per Darren Dreger, the NY Rangers are willing to use their cap space, almost $9 million, to facilitate a trade as a third party today. They’d serve as a Detroit comparable in the David Savard trade.
Teams haven’t been shy in shopping their cap space. NJD, Det and SJ have all been used as a broker to remedy cap issues to this point. The NYR have approximately $9 mil in space and are among those clubs willing to facilitate financially complex trades as well.
The Rangers accrued this cap space with shrewd taxi squad maneuvering all season.
