Have to think Girardi will be bought out, or asked to waive his NMC if a protectable defenseman is acquired. If you knew Shat would resign, I would say leave him as a UFA so you don't have to protect him also.
I don't like this trade straight up. Think something like Stepan/Klein for Shat, Berglund, and another minor piece would get it done. Still need to replace that Center for this year, so Rangers can compete for playoffs, and can address another C to go with Hayes/Zib in off-season when Berglund and Shat expire. Trading Stepan in this deal would also allow Grabner to be protected.
I understand Hanzal, but would rather keep the 2nd rounder.
