Gives the Rangers a little more depth up the middle, good 2 way player, gives them flexibility to move Chytil to the wing if that's where they see him. Rangers aren't really in a position to make any big splashes, and Granlund is probably in that category as one of the few centers available.
I still think the Rangers are going to be looking to trade for a C rather than sign one in FA. I was kind of hoping Domi would work out in a trade. Do we think they'd sign Strome AND trade for a C? This will be an interesting few weeks for the Rangers...
Have you seen the rumor that Vegas might attach a high pick in order to move Fleury? I don't know if there is any truth to it but the Devils would be a perfect landing spot if they could secure a 1st round pick to take on Fleury and his contract.

Yep, common with teams looking to move cap, better than a buyout. I'd almost always rather send a pick and/or a player to clear the space than buy the player out.
Canadiens got Joel Armia this way from WIN (instead of a high pick) when WIN wanted to get rid of Steve Mason.
Canadiens got Armia, a 4th, a 7th, and Mason for Simon Bourque or someone like that. Armia is a top 6 forward.
If I had cap space and a goalie need I'd be on the phone with LVG.
reporting on Twitter that there's smoke around the Rangers and Matt Martin. Not sure how I feel about that.
I doubt the Rangers sign Martin, but I think he would be a really good fit. This team has a lot of skill, but aside from Lemieux, not a lot of toughness. Losing Fast is going to hurt too, and I think Martin can be a nice addition. Watching the Islanders playoff run, Martin could have been their playoff MVP. He scored some big goals, and every time he was on the ice, opposing teams felt it.

SNR, I think spot on. Hopefully, Rangers add Kravtsov to a skilled, smooth skating group: they play a most appealing style. Beat CAR 4/4 in regular season, and then what happened?
You watch the grind that is the SCP and maybe a game here or there is wide open, but 80% of the time it's two-way hockey, grinding along the boards and behind the net, you hope a forward or d-man springs open in the crease. Martin is that kind of guy to dig and get it out, plants himself, plays 2-way.
JD and Quinn were pretty clear in the CAR aftermath that they recognized that the team was heavy on skill and light on being 'difficult to play' and depth. AlexiLaf, Schneider, and Will Cuylle constitute steps in the direction the team's thought leaders identified as necessary to improving and expanding the overall competence and competitiveness of the team. Of course, the latter two won't help in 2020-2021 or probably the next year. But it shows they are serious, and Martin would represent a similar step here and now.
Of course, Anak panned the idea, but that's because he's the Jerry Reese wannabe designer of NYR. (: (:
He's as tough as they come, but it's not like he ed be on the PK.
They need to be tougher to play against, not necessarily tougher when the gloves are off. That would be nice, but I think Martin is a luxury at this point.
If Fast is gone, then they're gonna need to replace that AND add more pest type defensive players up front. I'd rather have a Czikas or Clutterbuck type from that line than Martin
And I'd prefer to do it short term and on the cheap deals.
Like an Eakin and Grabner type combo. Or insert grinding defensive forward who can play the middle or wing and a fast defensive forward of your choice.

My plan for the Devils this season is to sign several players to one year deals in order to try to trade them at the deadline for draft picks.
First acquiring Fleury and a 1st would be a great start. Fleury would be a great mentor for Blackwood and they could split time in net. If Fleury plays well he could be traded also to a team in search of goalie help. The return could be solid especially if the Devils eat some of his remaining cap number.

Can confirm this is happening. Devils will send a 2021 fifth-round pick to the Blue Jackets for Ryan Murray, the No. 2 pick in the 2012 draft.

Two sources confirm the #NHLJets are close to striking a deal for C Paul Stastny from the Vegas Golden Knights. Sounds like picks are involved going the other way.
Stastny has one-year left on a deal making him $6.5 million per year.
One of my favorite hockey days of the year. With the cap space issues and making their splash this year, I think a lot of the transactions will be with other teams besides the Rangers. Obviously Henrik looks to be going to Washington and Fast is likely gone. So maybe some internal moves later in the off season.

I believe Colorado & Toronto are two teams eyeing UFA-to-be Mattias Janmark, who isn't expected to re-sign with Dallas.
Also hearing several teams have Carter Verhaeghe, whom TB didn't tender a qualifier, in their sights. He'll get plenty of calls once the market opens.

would need to move salary out in trade in order to make an impact in UFA. More likely they look for veteran value to hold the fort until some farm prospects are ready. Here's hoping Kravtsov and a defenseman or two make the team, in addition to Lafreneire.
RE: Do you guys think the AHL not playing is having an impact..
AHL isn't playing? I thought they set 12/4 as a season start date.
Either way, not sure for free agency, but I do think no finish to the juniors seasons, NCAA season, and post-season all-star/show-case/international tournaments impacted the draft.
I feel like we will look back at the draft and ask how did that player fall so low or how did team x miss so bad on this player.
I'm not sure what impact the AHL will have since I don't think they announced anything official for 2020-2021.

As we've speculated all week, I would expect Wayne Simmonds to get offers from Toronto and Montreal and possibly Calgary today. There are other teams as well but if I would handicap it at this hour, I would say those three Canadian teams have the best shot.
Goalie market will be fascinating to watch today. One of the first signings to become official is expected to be Henrik Lundqvist to WSH on a one-year contract. The King has been UFA since being bought out by the NYR but can’t formalize the contract until today.

The New Jersey Devils are buying out goaltender Cory Schneider. Had two-years left at $6M AAV. #NJDevils
Buyout cap hit: $2M until 2023/24.
Laine is the biggest name expected to move, but could be more too. Flat cap has teams scrambling a little trying to make room.

I think I put Wennberg above Duclair. Either one would be a nice gamble/upgrade over Brassard.
1. Aklex Pietrangelo (D)
2. Taylor Hall (F)
3. Torrey Krug (D)
4. Robin Lehner (G) (I believe he already signed an extension with LVG
5. Tyson Barrie (D)
6. Jacob Markstrom (G)

If I'm CAR I call BOS about Rask. Allegedly Sweeney asked Rask for his 15 team no-trade list.
CAR has a surplus of D, BOS needs D, maybe a D for Rask.

Tyler Seguin sustained a torn labrum in his hip during the postseason, GM Jim Nill says.
He is exploring options for possible surgery, which could carry a recovery time of four months.

Uncle Larry wrote about it a month ago and Boomer’s been pushing for it
buy out or trade
I like Martin for a bottom 6 forward, preferably bottom 3 (but I wouldn't mind bottom 6), he's very effective.
