JETS CAME OUT QUICKER, HUNGRIER, AND DOMINATED THE PATHETIC BLUESHIRTS AND THEIR WHOLE GAME. MCDONAGH+ STAAL WERE BOTH -3, THE TOP LINE OF NASH, ZUCCS, BRASSARD A COMBINED -11. WE NEED A MAJOR SHAKE-UP. HENRIK WAS STORMED BY JETS TOP LINE, AND PLAYED POORLY.

NEXT UP--- TUES- ANAHEIM DUCKS AT MSG(DUCKS PLAY TONIGHT AT ISLES, SO NO ******* EXCUSES)

Do you have cap room for Stamkos?
If not, how could it be created?

WE DON'T HAVE CAP ROOM FOR EVEN AN EXTRA CORPSE FROM HARTFORD

WOULD HAVE TO TRADE A NASH, HENRIK, ....MOST HIGHLY PAID GUYS HAVE A NO MOVE CLAUSE, AND TAMPA WON'T TAKE HIGHLY PAID JUNK LIKE STAAL ,GIRARDI, OR YANDLE

Probably can't do anything re a trade this year, but what if the Rangers look ahead to the summer of 2016 free agent market:
don't re-sign Boyle (4.5 mil)
don't re-sign Moore (1.5 mil)
trade away Marc Staal for next-to-nothing in return, and agree to eat 2 mil of his salary for the duration of his contract (5.7 - 2.0 = 3.7 net cap space created)

that would free up 9.7 million in cap space to chase Stamos with.  (plus get a couple of other bodies to fill out the roster?

Another option would be to not re-sign Krieder (2.475 mil freed up), but I'm not sure that is the way to go.  If he is re-signed, what kind of raise is he in line for?

Nash and Stamos would be a great double trouble threat.  Either on the same line or on consecutive lines.
