Why would AZ send picks when they're tearing things down? That doesn't make much sense. Neither does giving up assets to acquire one year of Strome.

Overpayment in the trade Underpayment for Igor. I trade chytil and a second for Dvorak. They would either need to sign a gritty winger or would call up Barron to be 4th line C and have Rooney play RW.

Your lines are off too, they'd be:
lafreniere-zib-kakko
panarin-strome-kravtsov
Kreider-dvorak-Blais?
Goodrow-Rooney-Blais?

Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Trouba
Nemeth-Nils

Love Lafreniere on the 4th line.

True, i agree. I was just lost into what to trade for him tbh and I have seen a couple of time the rangers being interested in him.

didn't really mess with the lines, I just put the signed guys in spots tbh. Its more of just seeing the players etc.

Paying $6mil+ for Igor is just not something I see happening. I maybe see him getting 5mil for 4/5 years.

I didn't really mess with the lines besides putting the players signed in spots etc.

gotcha, I ultimately think Igor gets 5x$5 mil

I agree, I just don't want them to overpay as they did with Hank. They need to get away from the overpaying of goalies and make it a good contract especially in the flat cap era. Give him a promise to pay him more later but for less term etc. But overpaying now is not a good idea.

Are there specific rumors you have seen linking the Rangers to Dvorak?

Ranger fans have been posting ACGM'S when it was thought he was available. But I haven't seen anything specific.
