Swung for the fences but struck out.

Boston and Edmonton thinks it’s April 1 cause those are a joke

None of these are in the ballpark. You dont trade a bunch of B/B+ pieces for superstars

Those values ain't in the ballpark, they're are at the circus because the offers are a joke

The offers are not in the ball park because you can never get real value in return for superstars, that's why they are super stars. The 1OA & Miller are not B+ pieces however, thats also a foolish take.

You would have to include Kakko in the EDM/BOS deals.

Wild would probably except. I'm not a big Ryan Strome fan but the value is there, Rangers could probably get more depending on Stromes contract demands.

Minnesota trade is the only one that's even slightly realistic.

Also, if playing TDA on the left side was an option, then Rangers would probably want to keep him. i do wonder if it's something they'll try this season to see how it goes

I was generalizing a bit, obviously Laf isnt a B+ piece. Miller is good but I think its gonna be important to see how he does in his first pro year after an average NCAA season.

That's a fair ask. I'd be open to it. Probably would add a second piece to go to the Rangers. Something much less valuable than KK of course.

And you'll be over the cap, It's at least a 22 man roster not a 20 man roster. And both Edmonton and Boston would decline those deals.

When I look at trades, they're not always hockey trades. I guess it's my bad if I assume people understand the economics, and other factors, that can trigger trades. In Edm, like it or not, McD has openly expressed his unhappiness at how things have gone for years. And it didn't get any better this year. I'm clearly not making this up. That doesn't mean he's getting traded. Actually the chances are slim to none. But that extenuating circumstance makes a trade at least a possibility. And trading to a team out of conference who holds the 1OA pick might not be a bad place to start a discussion. In Boston, the window is closing. Not saying it's shut by any means. But there are aging stars for sure. This trade brings in 2 players in TDA & Miller with elite potential and Krav has very high upside too. Again, the trade chance is slim at best. But it's just a discussion. Amazing how some fanboys get their asses chapped when someone even brings up the possibility of trading for a star on their team. lol

Yes, cap is tight for sure, as it is for everyone. But Staal can be bought out to free up 2 million more this year if needed. And we have a lot of cap space going forward. I think it's manageable.

Playing TDA at LD is def an option for Rangers. But we have a surplus offensive Dmen. We need a couple of strong stay at home LD. I'll trade one of the top young right Dmen to fill other needs
