The Rangers’ white whale is swimming closer to the shores of New York City.
when the Blueshirts announced that Vitali Kravtsov and Jake Leschyshyn were unavailable due to “roster management reasons.”
In order to fit the 34-year-old Kane at 25 percent of his full salary cap hit , not only would the Blackhawks have to retain 50 percent of his $10.5 million cap hit, while a third team acts as a banker and takes 50 percent of what remains, but also the Rangers would have to waive another player. Reeling Rangers fall to Red Wings for third consecutive loss
Should the Rangers waive Kravtsov and Leschyshyn by Saturday, that would equate to $632,000 in team cap space, and they need $709,000. The Rangers would still have to make another move to make a Kane deal work. The team has managed to remain basically healthy this season, but it’s a risky move to cut down the roster.
It’s unlikely that the Rangers would want to wait that long, but never say never in an all-in move like this.
