Honestly think it's gotta be Caufield + a 1st for the Rangers to even think about moving Laf. He was their first overall pick just 16 months ago, and has barely got his feet wet in the NHL yet (22 goals in his first 102 games tho, not lighting the world on fire but showing some promise.) The Rangers were very lucky winning the lottery for Laf, considering they made it to the playoff bubble in 2020, so to just bail on that good fortune so soon wouldn't make a lot of sense - unless someone was offering them the moon. Caufield + a shot at a top 5 pick are where I'm starting the conversation if I'm Chris Drury.

Allright ! Got it bro !! So Caufield + Calgary first ( indeed if Calgary doesn't make playoffs , keep his top 10 pick , you would have a shot at top 5 pick for Calgary next year !

Done deal , no takeback . Management are called , league is advice .

Perhaps where you missed the part where I said Caufield and the 1st (the 2022 1st, to be clear), is where I think Chris Drury should *start* the conversation

yeah sounds better , yeah we can add to that .. But this 2022 MUST be lottery protected .
