K'Andre Miller and Alexis Lafrenière. Mind you, there's good reason to eschew each one of these gentlemen, but they can't be deleted from the roster, if they can be cast away at all. Once Over The Rangers Lightly But Not Politely [https://deweb-519a7.b-cdn.net/post-images/dab02206-188b-46f4-a61b-e6f2dc37fbef.jpeg] Once Over The Rangers Lightly But Not Politely <b>1.</b> The Maven is waiting for some shrink to explain how and why – when Alexis Lafrenière was on the stairway to stardom – he wound up on the escalator to oblivion. [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers/latest-news/once-over-the-rangers-lightly-but-not-politely-1] The Maven's Vice-President In Charge of Contract Knowledge, Jess Rubenstein herewith has the bad news and reasons why: PANARIN: "Only Artemi can decide whether he wants out thanks to that 'No-Movement' clause which he was granted when he signed with the Rangers." ZIBANEJAD: "Same as Breadman – the dreaded 'No Movement' clause." KREIDER: "He's going to be the one Blueshirt that Drury might be able to move but the odds are really good that the Rangers will most likely have to retain at least 33% of his salary." MILLER: "K'Andre will be hard to trade mainly because he has a qualifying offer of $4.64 million. Teams are going to think Drury will decline said offer. That would make Miller a UFA." LAFRENIERE: "Big Al will also require Drury to retain a chunk of his salary if he tries to move him before next season." DUMB AND DUMBER: "The mistake made over and over and over again is paying these Rangers some of the highest salaries and then giving them 'No Movement' clauses. Yet they never learn from these mistakes." And, please, don't ask me why!
