Catching up as I attempt to take a couple of days off here.
FYI, Fast’s contract is for two years, $950,000 per; Miller’s is one year (his qualifying offer) at around $850,000; Etem’s deal is one year, $850,000; Lindberg’s is two years, $650,000 per, McIlrath’s deal is one year at $600,000; all of them one-way contracts (meaning they get that amount whether they play in the NHL or AHL).
So the Rangers have enough cap space to get Derek Stepan signed. Whether they want to go to the neighborhood of $7M per that it might take is another matter.
