Realistic Rangers Pt1

This could 100% be a one-for-one deal. However, you have to take into the account that Ryan McDonagh with 50% salary retained is absolutely ridiculous. The Leafs get a #1 defenseman for $2,350,000 for the next two playoff runs thus why a second rounder is also part of the return.

The Tampa Bay Lightning were already filthy and tier 1 cup contenders. Adding a two-way dynamo like Rick Nash only solidifies the Lightning as cup favorites. Would be a perfect fit on the 3rd line with Kunitz and Paquette. And for everybody crying that Rick Nash wont bring back a first, Martin Hanzal brought back a first and a second and Rick Nash is a much better player than Hanzal.

Michael Grabner is on pace to score 25+ goals for the second straight year. He would be a much needed upgrade to an ailing Jets PK. His insane speed, ability to PK, and high shooting percentage will undoubtedly bring back at the very least a late first rounder.

Desharnais is putting up solid 3C production and will help the Sharks alleviate the loss of Joe Thornton.

Both the NYI and NJD have fleeced the Oilers in recent years, so this time its NYR. This would be a typical Chiarelli move and I would not be suprised at all to see something like this happen.
