Our top moves for Jeff Gorton and the Rangers this off-season

The Forever Blueshirts team weighs in on the top moves for the Rangers this summer.

James – Buy-out Brendan Smith: A Brendan Smith buyout is something that I have been calling for since the beginning of the season. After a marvelous playoff run the year he was acquired, Smith got a 4-year deal carrying an AAV of $4.35 million.

After an extremely disappointing first year of the deal, Smith made some waves on both the back end and even at wing, but still overall, a massive disappointment. Smith still has two years left on his deal carrying that $4.
