Your scraps and a first round pick isn’t ever going to get it done. Think of the things that would really hurt to give up. That’s what it will take.

Quoted

Like I mentioned in the description, Chytil originally in (who is valuable) but Howden is a Torts player to a T (less valuable imo).

Kravtsov is one of the Rangers top prospects, only a year removed from TSN's #1 prospect in the NHL. Definitely not a scrap.

Strome a place holder for 2 years.

Totally can see CBJ declining or wanting a different/additional prospect. Add Robertson in if you think it's lopsided or rotate Nils Lundqvist in if you aren't high on Vitali.

DeAngelo
Chytil
Robertson

If I'm the Rangers I do that all day.

That probably means that its not enough apparently!
NYR would need to move a contract to any deal to add PLD & CLB was 28th in PPG's last year, TD's 19 PPP & 53 overall points aren't nothing to sneeze at.
NYR are thin at C organizationally as far something to offer back at that position.

I think it's fair, it really comes down to what CBJ values and I think Torts would love a guy like Howden. I think CBJ fans are expecting a kings ransom (which they should) but how many NHL trades have we heard rumored that the reality is always less than the expectation?

CBJ will have its bidders, but I think NYR have a strong offer with 1 of Strome, Tony D, or Buch/ Chytil or Howden/ and a top prospect and pick.

Honestly, I don't think PLD gets moved this season, i'd guess the 2021 draft but definitely before the start of 21/22. CLB's a good team & sometimes winning can fix whatever PLD is hung up on in CLB.

One of kakko or laf goes in this deal or CBJ doesn't even consider it

Rangers hang up immediately, I'm not sure what other team is going to be able to offer that value.

People have such varying opinions on what PLD is worth but that has to be the most outrageous one so far. No one would trade the first overall pick from a couple months ago for a centre who wants out and has yet to be a PPG player.

Plenty can, Montreal can offer kk, jets laine, kings byfield, as examples

Kings aint offering Byfield. Laine is off his ELC and also wants out, not nearly as valuable as Laf/Kakko right now.

I'd take laine over kakko all day. Laf not sure yet

This doesn't help his value as far as what another GM will give up.

Yeah, he wants out," Tortorella told 'Rothman and Ice' on 97.1 The Fan in Columbus. "He spoke to the team, as we do here. It's a little bit different than [forward ] and [goalie ] were. This is a 22-year-old kid. It doesn't happen that often, so he has been honest with the group. I wish he was a little bit more honest as far as reasons why. I still haven't really gotten to that, but I think he needs to speak on that. I won't."


Dubois, 22, led the Blue Jackets with 49 points in 70 games last season and had 10 points in 10 playoff games. He recently signed a two-year, $10 million contract with Columbus on Dec. 31 as a restricted free agent.

"[Dubois] has had a good camp, but it's a short leash with me as far as this is concerned," Tortorella said. "He needs to continue to do the things to help this team win and be the best teammate he can be, or I'm not sure where it goes. It's a situation and we'll go to it day by day."

I think the Kings can land him but Byfield isn't going back to CLBS. Something Like..
