Quoting: Most_realistic_person_here
2.5 isn’t a lot retained especially for a 34yo who has 3 years left. Also with how many young players la has they have plenty of cap room coming up. Thanks for the constructive feedback though I can tell you put a lot of effort on it.
you want some constructive criticism?
thats just not enough for the kings to trade kopitar unless he drops off, in which case the rangers wouldnt want to take on his contract. the kings certainly arent retaining 2.5, which is definitely a lot for a team on the up with a ton of contracts that will need to be extended before 24-25. also afaik kopitar has a NTC and he doesnt wanna leave LA.
secondly, SJS are not handing out a 4th to take on goodrows cap hit, if the rangers want to clear him out, theyd have to look elsewhere, and theyd probably need to send along some incentives. this also applies to nemeth. yes the habs do have defense problems, but taking on nemeths cap hit and giving away a pick to do so is not gonna solve them.
third, what is that georgiev trade? i mean as a rangers fan id be ecstatic if they could rob edmonton of those picks.
youre also trading both jones and nemeth, and your only replacement plan is putting lundkvist with schneider? two RD's?
