Sure

interesting trade i think NYR accept only if chytil is ready for 2c(which it looks like he is) and they pick up a center in FA (maby danault) or this is can be done at the deadline

If Hayton comes good that’s would be a hell of a deal for the Rangers but so far his development has been slow

agreed i dont know why i forgot he was a center he would be given a nice chance with kreider and kravtsov on his wings to develop

Rangers take that and run. Willing to take a chance on a late bloomer (Who will only be turning 21, anyway).

Hayton would be the replacement, he was a top 5 pick literally 2 years ago

I think Hagelin is still a good checking wing and PK specialist. He's leading the Caps in SHTOI, even ahead of Jensen. Some team probably pays a 7th for him, if WSH needs cap space to sign Ovechkin, which I fully agree they probably will. But with new owners in Arizona rumored to be a little bit budget-conscious, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of AHL contracts going back to WSH in a Hagelin deal, to keep the money pretty even.

That Rangers trade is laughably bad. No chance that happens

But the whole theory behind drafting Hayton is that he would be one of their two top-6 centers. Why should they give up on him now and spend a significant asset in doing so?

Arizona's top 6 of Keller-Schmaltz-Kessel and Dvorak-Hayton-Garland looks pretty good to me, so I don't agree with your premise that "They need one more top 6 forward."

hes 20?

Hayton has not looked anywhere near a top 6 forward. Players drafted that high usually show up in the NHL by now. He’s barely played in the league. Strome already is a top 6 forward and he’s be the best centre on the team

I don’t see how the islanders take on goligoski with their cap situation is Arizona retaining salary or taking back a bad contract like Leo komorov?

If I’m Arizona I wouldn’t give up on hayton yet he’s only 20 some guys take longer to develop

Fair AZ would have to retain. He’s be a rental wherever he’s traded
