As reported by capgeek.com and the NY Post's Larry Brooks, the Rangers are carrying an extra $527,000 in cap space as a bonus overage from last season. While I'm not sure whom the bonus belonged to or why this happened, it does put a bit of a damper on the Rangers cap situation once again. To me, the chances of Wolski's contract being bought out increase more and more with each passing day. The Rangers are barely going to be under the cap once the rosters are set when Dubinsky, Callahan and 2 additional defensemen are signed.
Speaking about one of those defensemen, once again according to Larry Brooks, the Rangers are in talks and are apparently close to re-signing Steve Eminger to a contract. One must figure that as a 6th or 7th defenseman, he'll be making less than a million next year. On a side note, there is going to be one heck of a battle coming up in training camp for that last roster spot on defense.
Dubinsky's arbitration hearing is coming up in two days and I'm going to hold my breath on that subject...
