Sauer will also be an RFA but considering he won't play this year I would assume that would be a non issue. Eminger and Halpern would be UFA's but that also should be a non issue, they could be replaced for equal or even resigned for the same since they aren't top quality players to begin with. It will be tight unless Slats can get rid of Rupp and save some money there.I think whatever he gives DZ he would be better to get as many years as reasonable without being too long term. the kid is 22 and should only get better thereby demanding more money down the road.If Redden gets bought out it gives Slats another 5,600,000 in cap space next year so he is in pretty good shape

Go to capgeek.com/rangers they have it all broken down. it doesn't account for DZ because he isn't signed yet. It does show Redden's cap hit though, and with it we are at 57,416,672 next year. that puts us 6,883,333 below the cap next year. buyout Redden and we are 12,483,333. below the cap. Of course you have to subtract whatever DZ gets, then pay McDonaugh, Stepan, and Hagelin, and either replace Eminger and Halpern with players from Ct. or free agents, but there appears to be money to handle those moves.the only way the money would be tight would be if you gave all 4 of the kids 3 million each, and I don't think all 4 have earned that yet.

if stephan has a great year and finally proves what he can do he will be asking for that kind of money and mac D after how he played last year will surely be getting the same money as stalsy and girardi if he has another solid year.
haeglin if he has a solid year will get a good raise as well.


I don't think so. As good as I think MCD will be he has played one third the amount of games that Staal and Girardi have on their resumes.
That's not to say he might make more than them some day.

i never said a word about girardi other then his salary which i have no problem with, he is worth every penny.
mac D will need to be resigned after this year and if he plays like he did last year he will get paid the same or pretty close to it and i would be more comfortable over paying him then delzotto.

but to be perfectly clear i have no problems with delzotto and most definitely want him back as well.

Michael Del Zotto and the Rangers have agreed to a two-year deal, in time for the defenseman to join the team on ice for Day 1 of a six-day training camp which gets underway at noon.

Del Zotto gets an average salary of $2.55 million per season, which sounds reasonable.

Also, Matt Gilroy has signed and will also be on the ice today...
