Rangers and Lemieux likely to settle

The hold up here is primarily the situation with Ryan Strome. With a gap at over $2 million between the two parties this has the potential to make it to arbitration tomorrow.

When it is all said and done the Rangers and Lemieux are likely to meet in in the middle. My expectation is that they agree to a one or two year deals at around $1.5 million.
