Rangers RFAs

[dashripdot]

I read that Dubinsky filed, Boyle filed and Callahan will file for arbitration if he does not receive an offer by 5:00 today. At least that will prevent any offer sheets if they haven't received them by 5:00.

[Isca92]

Sauer did also, only Anisimov didn't and he wasn't eligible.

Well hopefully ( If TSN's Report is true ) one of them will be in a trade for Stamkos! I honestly think something is in the works because our cap space is pretty dismal and unless we trade, I don't see anything happening especially after inking Richards.

[Swift n Sil3nt]

Where is this report that you mention NYRfan? Do you have a link?

Trading for Stamkos doesn't solve a Cap problem, it creates one. You're talking about someone about to at least $7M - $8M annually. So, we'd have to send a lot of young, high salaries back.

No I don't have a link been trying to find one myself. Someone in the Stamkos thread posted the report. We have to do deal something to make the cap space reasonable and in order to build our roster up for the season.

Don't listen to that guy he just posts ridiculous things and then doesn't respond. And what someone else wrote is right, Stamkos will only cause more cap problems because we would have to give up a **** ton for him and he would command 8-9 mill a year and we'd be losing players for it.

Losing Stamkos is suicide for Yzerman...he has to sign him.

Hopefully, Callahan, Dubinsky, Sauer and Boyle can be worked out before the arbitration hearings are held, but even if the awards are higher than what the Rangers want to pay, having two or more players file for arbitration triggers a second buy-out period for the team. Wolski could be bought out if the Rangers need the cap room. Not the first choice, but his buyout would provide significant savings, if needed.

[Markthemess]

four one this hole stamlos talk is nuts.. There is no way we get him and if we did we would have to put gabby in that deal to clear the cap space to get him and I don't see tampa bay taking him plus to gut your whole team 4 one guy is retarded imo...

[redwhiteandblue]

Simply put Stammer is not coming here not do we want him. we have a very good thing going no ned to gut our system and take 3 steps back over him

[J4KOP99]

When would the arbitration hearings be held?

[Isca92]

They haven't posted the dates of arbitration hearings yet but should be announcing them shortly. Hopefully they to come to an agreement before the meetings, not a fan of GMs bashing their players to try to keep costs down (I do know its part of the business but still).

[Rangers in 7]

the arbitration hearings arent till august....they will all be signed before then

[nyr1980]

I believe the arbitration hearings run from July 20 through August 4.
