Go time

I can possibly see that trade. It clears salary for Columbus whilst giving a change of scenery for a goalie and a possible 2c if he can remain healthy. Ottawa gets two players change of scenery. Decent idea and I like Pinto as #2c but that is the biggest question along with Laine. Pinto needs to prove capable of 2c and Lanie needs a big bounce back and would have to rely on Pinto.

Rangers pass on 1 year of Chychrun.

1. Parker Kelly and Mads Sogaard can be signed to league minimum.

2. Chris Tanev, Dylan DeMelo or Matt Roy would be a better fit in Ottawa than Sean Walker.

3. Eric Staal would rather retire than sign in Ottawa for 800K.

4. Columbus fleeces you.

5. Rangers decline because the Owner of the Rangers also owns the Sphere in Vegas and instructed their GM not to trade this year's first.

Would rather keep Laine and Elvis. The length of Norris' contract and his injury uncertainty are scary. Laine has the same issues, but he at least only has 2 years left on his contract while having the upside of being a gamebreaking player if he can get back to himself again.

They wouldn't move the first at TDL they won't do it on the draft either.
