What if

i'm not sure the Rangers have to give up that much here. Buch is coming into his own and has proved he is a top 6 winger.
i get that Domi is a C, but is being a center really worth that much more?

In all fairness, Domi would probably have his best years with NYR. I think he'd fit the system really well and he'd obviously have outstanding linemates. He wouldn't have to worry about a cursed team(AZ) or being forced to 3C or LW(MTL) or headbutting with a headstrong head coach(CBJ)(Say that 5 times fast)

Obviously it would have to be a Sign and Trade if NYR would give up that much.

Rangers don’t consider that. They just traded up for Schneider and I’m not convinced Domi has any significant value over Buch

I guess Domi would get the edge because centers are valued more than wingers and NYR needs a 2C, they have plenty of wingers.

NYR has Trouba, Fox, Deangelo, and Lundqvist. He's expendable.

Montreal passes. No way they let both Danault and KK go. So if KK was included in a deal for PLD I guarantee the Danault would be extended at all costs. Also if Danault left in FA KK would not be traded for PLD.
