Steve Zipay did a little leg work, provided everyone with the Rangers players under contract next season and what they are making against the cap.
Players
Under
Contract 09-10 Cap hit:
Lundqvist 6.875
Valiquette .725
Total 7.600
Redden 6.5
Rozsival 5
Staal 827
Girardi 1.55
Gilroy 1.75
Total 15.627
Gomez 7.357
Drury 7.050
Avery 1.938
Korpikoski 1.018
Anisimov .822
Total 18.185
Team Total $41.412
So how does this fine cast of characters stack up to the elite of the league. Well is Redden as valuable as Niklas Lidstrom? Nah. How about Gomez and Drury are these guys as good as Datsyuk and Zetterberg? Nope! Any way we can get Drury and Redden to retire like Naslund? Fat chance! As Joe B says OH THE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am realistically hoping for this
Antropov, Gomez, Gaborik
Dubinsky, Drury, Callahan
Avery,Anisimov, Zherdev
Sjostrom, Korpikoski, Orr, Byers
Staal, Girardi
Redden, Mara
Gilroy, Potter, Deal for Rozy
Lundqvist, Valliquette
