Mailbag: Kreider vs. Panarin, salary cap bonuses, salary cap percentage

Three questions this week for the mailbag this week. As always, use the widget on the right to submit your questions.

Rjcy asks (states? I cut this down a bit and rephrased it): In my opinion, the Rangers should be keeping Chris Kreider over signing Artemi Panarin, if it comes down to it. He’s a rare package of physical attributes and will be cheaper than Panarin.

I agree here. As great as Panarin is, the Rangers have a horrible history with free agents. Some of it is bad decision making, but there’s also some poor luck thrown in here.
