Glen has some important decisions to make with the team already up against the cap and a number of free agents to deal with:
1) Mark Staal - Making $3.975 is his last year and will probably want Girardi money ($5.5). I can't see paying him that type of salary unless he has a major rebound to finish the year.
2) MSL - Making $5.625 and I can see him perhaps taking a slight pay cut. I think there's still gas in the tank for MSL but how much that translates into a reduced salary remains to be seen. I'd want him back.
3) Derek Stepan - Making $3.075 and due for a raise in the Brassard range ($5 mil). I think they have to resign him unless his agent goes crazy and wants Callahan money.
4) MZA - Making $3.5 which is very reasonable for a guy who led the team in scoring. I think the same applies to him as Stepan.
5) Hags - Making $2.25 but still an RFA that will probably be in the $3-$3.5 range. Great speed but very one dimension and a very lucrative piece of trade bait.
6) John Moore - Making $850K. Still an RFA but really needs to pick up his game IMO with comparable talent in the minors.
7) Conor Allen - Making $925K. Also an RFA but seems to have more upside than Moore. Think the Rangers only need one of these 2.
8) Dylan McIlrath - Making $702K. Another defensive RFA who AV seems to have no interest in. Trade bait?
9) Cam Talbot - Making $562K. Decent backup who will be an UFA. Don't think the Rangers will be able to keep him, there will be offers from other teams.
10) J.T. Miller - Making $894. Like McIlrath AV has little interest in him and doesn't seem to want him up with the big team. An RFA but what's the point of resigning a guy AV won't play?
Also in the mix - Stempniak ($900K), Kostka ($650K), Hunwick ($600K), Kristo ($827), Fast ($805), Lindberg ($675) and others in the AHL. Glen's going to have about $23 mil in cap space to fill out the 12 men signed for next year's team.
