So here's the complete list of available Unrestricted Free Agents for the 2011 campaign. What do you all think?
Complete List of UFAs
Kinda slim pickens for good players. Might be better off making a trade or two.
Rangers have 16million available in Cap space, but spending needs to figure in new contracts for Dubinsky, Callahan, Boyle and Gilroy. Just like last off-season we need to free up some space somewhere
Oh and heres the complete list of Restricted Free Agents:
The difference between the two types is that an Unrestricted Free Agent wasn't protected by his team in the final year of the player's contract so he is free to field better offers from other teams. A Restricted Free Agent can not, but if his team chooses not to protect him during his second to last year of the contract, the player's status will change to Unrestricted during the final year of the contract and the team risks losing that player.
Basically the Rangers would have to pick from the UFA list, and wait another year (or trade this summer) for players on the RFA list.
So leave your thoughts in the comment section as to who you think the Rangers should go for
we need richards. i said it before and ill say it again, we need that 1-2 combo...and the deal with redden is that he can walk away from his contract if he choses to persue an opportunity with another nhl team or he can play in europe. If he does that, he is no longer ranger property and his contract becomes void
