John Grigg at The Hockey News looks at the Top 10 highest payrolls in the NHL. Guess whose number 1?...1. NY Rangers – Cap payroll: $55,714,676, Cap Space: $285,324 (incl. $700,000 cap penalty)
• Too few players taking up too much cap space.
• Gomez, Drury, Naslund, Redden, Rozsival and Lundqvist count for almost $37 million against the cap.
The Blueshirts have some serious holes to fill with $40 million already accounted for next season and just nine NHL players signed. If the high-priced stars up front and on the blueline don’t pull their cap weight, this team will have a tough time retooling.
FYI, $700,000 cap penalty is from the Rangers being over the cap last year.
...no wonder ticket prices went up this year.
