[Mercogliano] For those wondering what Fox to LTIR means for the #NYR cap situation, it opens up the value of his AAV in LTIR pool $. That gave them about $9.5M in available space, which is why they could comfortably fit Brodzinski, Mackey and Domingue. (Plus still have Chytil’s $ count.)

Why I have feeling they gonna sign Kane now?
Mackey is up because goodrow will not play tomorrow (birth of his child). So probably looking at;
1. Kreider-mika-kakko.
2. Bread-tro-laf.
3. Cuylle-Bonino/Brodz-wheeler.
4. Pitlick-bonino/brodz-vesey.
•Jones playing probably with lindy. Mackey on the bench
•Quick with the start. Louis backup
Wait, why is Domingue up? I saw Igor’s collision but thought nothing of it since he looked pretty sharp the rest of the night.
This fucking blows
So how does this cap situation with fox work? The Rangers just get the prorated AAV of the time he’s on LTIR or the whole $9.5M
As much as I likely don’t want it cuz I think his hip is shot. But IF fox is out for the year, this would likely clear Kane to come back with ease.
My man said possibly Schneider with Lindgren, fucking hell. I don’t want to see more of Schneider, but I also can’t bare watching him paired with fucking Jones either.
Goody missing is a blessing, let’s see if Pitlicks speed adds something.
Overall though… our 5v5 and PP has taken a huge hit in losing Fox and Chytil. We all know what Fox means, but Chytils speed and ability to carry the puck in is so huge for us. Now we’re even slower somehow. It would be a great fucking time for guys like Wheeler and Kakko to produce.
A dirty player takes our star out. This sub only wants to 1) Award Aho the Lady Bing and declare that he did no wrong and in fact the hit was somehow Fox’s fault (total wusses) and 2) talk about the financial gain for the team. I guess you are also Met fans who are ok with e their star players getting beaned and setting records for being hit by pitches . When did NY fans become such freaking wusses? That was a dirty hit that Aho did on purpose to help his team long term . He shouldn’t have left the ice standing.
If Fox is out the season is over.
I see this as a good opportunity to see what other lines work together for the 4th.
