From a rangers fan that’s a hard pass

Rangers accept. Shattenkirk and Pionk are disposable. Even losing Lindgren is fine, considering the surplus of Defensive Prospects banging on the door.

Miller on the Right would be a great compliment to DeAngelo and Fox (less expensive than Trouba, in all regards). Reaves is a 1 year dump. And Eakins was actually decent for you guys last year. Could move him at the Deadline for another Pick if he repeats. Leaves us with a glut of Centers (Eakins, Strome, Namestnikov) that will likely be moved out, but not a bad problem to have.

Miller=Pionk + 2nd

Eakins= Shattenkirk (50%)

Reaves = 6th

So on 2nd thought, maybe you could take out Lindgren. But I still approve.

Miller is a better get then what Trouba will cost to aquire. He will want 7 or 8 million long term. Miller has 3 years left on a very reasonable deal.

Most of these moves make no sense, especially the rfa numbers. Take out everybody else, VGK will do Eakin for a 2nd and Pionk.

It's not a question of fairness; it's more of the belief that NYR would be able to receive more value from the three players that were traded to VGK, all while not sacrificing any picks. Maybe they do not get an Eakin or Miller, but you could grab picks and/or prospects and flip them for good talent.

Also, I think VGK see themselves as contenders, and they do not want to give up two bottom six wingers that can help them in the postseason.

Looks great until you realize Gusev is underpaid by 2.5 mil. And then none of this works.

Wk is not getting 7.5 million lol.
