Do you believe in magic? Well Rangers fans probably do after their team somehow managed to fit the salaries of two of the biggest free-agents under cap-constraints.
What will concern the Rangers the rest of the summer is going to be how they can fit the rest of their restricted free agents and Shanahan under the cap. The Rangers gave Chris Drury a five-year $35.25 million deal and Scott Gomez a seven-year $51.5 million deal. That puts the team payroll at $38 million already under a salary cap that cannot exceed $50.3 million next season. This leaves them with about $12 million to spend on Henrik Lundqvist, Shanahan, Petr Prucha, Sean Avery, and Marcel Hossa.

They should get $3 million off their cap figure when they send Darius Kasparaitis to Hartford. That means they actually have close to $15 million. Lets hope that helps them land a stud defensemen, like Sheldon Souray.
