Rangers trade makes no sense for NYR. Also too much for Crawford next season.

No way the Rangers use the $3 million they saved in salary cap relief this season from buying out Lundqvist to then spend $3.9 million on Crawford. The Rangers and their fans are very happy with Shesterkin and Georgiev being the goalies. No need to have 3 goalies again like last year. Which is why Lundqvist was bought out in the first place.

Neal has an ideal contract structure for a buyout. I highly doubt Edmonton trades a first, when it’s way less painful to wait one more year and buyout the last year. There’s a chance he still has 2 or more decent years left at this point, and he’s a good veteran presence in the locker room

Roy isn’t signing that low, and why would the Kings trade him away? Isn’t trading youth away against the whole concept of a rebuild?

Bastian???

Ah yes, the Rangers exploring a goalie trade (to have the best 3 goalie tandem in the NHL again) with team they have made 1 trade with in the last 40 years. And they wouldn't trade Lemieux to NJ, that's a guy who'd be a thorn in your side, antagonizing your players, if you're trading him, trade him at least more than 20 miles away.
