packisback, Rangers have so much money is because like NJBrodeur said, they didn't bring back any of their own FA's accept for Rosy. They let Jagr, Avery, Shanny, Straka, Mara and Malik all go and traded Backman and Tyutin. They are around 10 mil under the cap but still have to resign some of their restricted FA's like Dawes, Fritsche and Sjostrom. This is why I was upset when the Devils re-signed so many of their own FA's earlier in the week. Salvador and Pando took up 5.4 mil in cap space........Getting back to trades, I heard Buffalo wants to move 28 yr old Maxim Afinogenov for a defenseman and they probably can't get any big-name (Boyle or Schneider) ones for him, how about we offer them White straight up. Maxim makes 3.5 mil to Whites 3 mil but Maxim's in his last year of his contract. Two things we get - first - we get out of White's long term deal (4 years left) Second - we add another foward to our team so we enough players (maybe make Gionta or others available) to make a trade with another team for a defenceman plus Maxim should have a bounce back year after his injury (slight groin tear) last year. It's a high reward low risk trade, the ones Lou likes because for some reason it doesn't work out next year we let Maxim walk (FA) and still clear some much needed cap room..
