Shattenkirk Reportedly Bought Out
After much confusion surround when the buyout window actually occur, there are reports surfacing that the Rangers have or will buy out defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk, relieving the team of enough salary cap space to go into the year with even a little space.
Next year will be a different story of course, with around $6M of dead space on the books, as well as around $1.4M for each of the two years following, but the move does give the team a little more time to decide what to do with Chris Kreider..
