The New York Rangers are in salary cap hell. They are not one of the ten teams currently over the salary cap ceiling of $81.5 million. However, they are thisclose with only $235,201 in cap space left. Here’s how it could affect their roster decisions.
The current 23-man roster includes Boo Nieves, Greg McKegg, and Filip Chytil, all players who are fighting to stay with the team. It does not include Vitali Kravstov or Ryan Lindgren, two players who have made a case to stay with the big club.
Kravtsov has a cap hit of $925k.
