It’s Sunday and we are 12 days away from the draft. So let’s jump into some musings, shall we?
1. I am a big fan of the strategy of taking on a short term contract with a big cap hit, like a Ryan Callahan or Corey Perry, in order to acquire more long term assets. For example, taking Callahan’s contract and Tampa’s 1st in exchange for their 2nd round pick. The idea isn’t that Callahan plays or has a big role, it’s to get that extra asset for cap space, which for the Rangers isn’t a big deal.
