The first NHL Buyout buyout window is open and is there a possibility the New York Rangers could use it?
As it stands, the Blueshirts have just under $12 million in cap space with only 14 players signed. Even if they opt to go with a 21-man roster next season, they’ll still need to sign or bring up a total of 7 players. A large portion of that available money will go into re-signing RFA’s Alexis Lafreniere and K’Andre Miller.
President and general manager Chris Drury will be extremely challenged to put forth a competitive roster this summer.
