Panarin has just one more year on his contract, so odds are he would not waive him NMC until mid-season of his contract year. Mika might waive his NMC but the NYR would have to retain a ton on his contract. Kreider has limited no-trade but who would want him?

Yes I already use them
So we are basically screwed for a few years, just like I've been saying?
No we have been screwed for the past 31 years. Where have you been?
Drury will continue to trade whatever draft picks.and young players he has at his disposal and will hire Sullivan as HC, instead of a young, first time HC.
We are screwed with the cap is what I was saying. The cap actually saved this team from itself in 2005. Under Drury, they have forgotten that the cap exists, unfortunately. Drury will do way more damage if he stays.
You realize that you are telling this to the guy who said Drury was a mistake from day one?
It seems as if Drury was in a big hurry to hire all of his own people and force everyone from the old regime out. Drury may be a control freak.
I'm starting to think that Drury may have demanded the Presidency when he was hired as GM. Drury has no oversight, other than Dolan. Gorton answered to Sather, and then JD. You would know better than me, did Gordie Clark have complete autonomy over the draft before Drury was hired?
Unlike Drury, Laviolette will find another coaching job right away. He will collect his millions from Junior and laugh his way to the bank
What do you think of Dave Hakstol? From what I know, he's very prepared and is good with young players. I think he got a raw deal in Seattle.
Hakstol? He has no business coaching in the NHL. He is a college coach, he had no business getting the Seattle job in the first place
I wouldn't mind seeing Marc Savard considered also.
A French Canadian as NYR coach? Not in our lifetimes, Sather would bitch to all holy hell about it. Dolan would rehire Torts first
My choices would be one of Carle(not happening), Leach, Pandolfo, or Mitch Love.
Dolan isn't going to hire someone he doesn't consider a name guy. Carle is a good guy but he remains young. Leach would be a good choice if he worked for an EC team so Dolan could see his work Pandolfo being a BU guy only has a shot of Drury remains. Love has no shot as he lacks a NYC connection
I don't know that Laviolette gets another job at this point. This is his sixth stop already. He want in demand anywhere else two years ago when the Rangers hired him. They were able to get away with giving him a three year deal, instead of the standard four years, because he had no other options.
No Drury was in no position to make demands when he replaced Gorton. Sather told him what to do and he did it. With Slats gone Drury has been planting his lips on Junior's rear end. I expect his job is safe as Lavu is going to take the fall.
