*whispers* offer sheet sergachev instead

You really think so? You rather give your 2 firsts?
I guess so but Tampa bay may match is it is to low

You’re not going to get Sergachev on a 6 yr $6M anyway you might as well step it up in OS.

I like the trade, as well as the UFA and RFA signings! Though I believe a little more might(?) have to be included in a trade for Sergachev. Maybe substitute Gauthier for both Howden and Andersson and make the 2021 3rd round pick a 2021 2nd round pick. Also Fast will probably be payed $2.5 - $3 million for 3 or 4 years, but Staal could be bought out if teams are allowed a 2nd compliance buyout.

What subtlely complicates the trade is that NYR would also have to trade either DeAngelo or Lindgren or leave one of them unprotected at seasons end to be drafted by Seattle. When considered, it's probably better for the Rangers to hold off acquiring a Defensemen with a long term contract until after the expansion draft.

Just use the expansion draft considerations
