I hope your kidding with both of those trades

You have two sides of the spectrum of those trades. One rips off the other team, one rips off us. I hope you can guess which does which.

Trades need a few tweaks to even out but aren't bad. I'm guessing people are upset that G still around and Zucc is gone. But this is probably one of the best, most realistic rosters I've seen posted. Doesn't mean it will happen...

Zucc for 1 yr of Shat. good one

For months, we have seen trades from many Ranger supporters....Shattenkirk for Nash. (IMO absolutely unreal) but Shattenkirk for Zucc is a lot more realistic from the St Louis view. I'm thinking the Blues might have to add something to the trade but the two main pieces fill a need for both teams,

The only way we get Shattenkirk for Nash is if we retain 50% and throw in at the very least a first round pick, I believe Boston offered up a 1st for him and St Louis turned it down. Best bet for the Rangers is to wait til St Louis drops their asking price or hope the rumors about him willing to take less to play in NY are true and sign him in July. Waiting to sign him would also mean the Rangers had one less person to protect in the expansion draft.

Evilbone. You are right that the Rangers would have take 50% Nash salary in a trade. Even then the Blues might just want the first rounder and NOT have Nash included. You're right again, what's the panic in getting Shattenkirk on your team (who ever that time might be) for one year and giving up so much. Wait till next summer as you suggest.
