Why would you get rid of lindgren

*Dont

Lindgren isn’t returning a top 15 pick. That’s ridiculous. If anything keep him because him and fox are one of the best d pairs in the league. Why are you breaking that up. Probably not the best use of assets to invest more than 7 million in your 10th-13th forwards. Dump Reaves and don’t give motte that much money cause he’s a luxury you can’t afford.

Trading Lindgren is just foolish.

for getting rid of lindgren the whole rangers team will personally hunt you down

You want to move out some cap cost, trade Chytil.

Sure, but as we can see here, that doesn’t give us enough to keep all the rentals.

Personally I’d rather trade Goodrow but they just signed him and gave him a partial NTC so I don’t see that happening.

Habs never trade High pick for a player who probably won't come to NA

You’re trading Lindgren just to keep all of our… RENTALS?

2.25 is an overpay for motte

more importantly however, WHY TF WOULD YOU TRADE LINDGREN YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON??? HES A 23 YEAR OLD TOP TIER DEFENSIVE DEFENSEMAN ON AN EXCELLENT CONTRACT WHO HAS AMAZING CHEMISTRY WITH FOX, WHO WE HAVE SIGNED FOR 7 YEARS, AND FOR WHAT?? TO RESIGN 3 RENTALS???

This is an impossible argument to engage in with 15 games to go...but there will be a lot to discuss once playoffs are done- just a few points:

1. Easy to fall in love with Motte, Copp, and Vattrano since they all fit well into gaping holes in the lineup this team had and seem to mesh well with this team-but with Kakko and Blais coming back, perhaps one (or both) of Othmann or Cuylle pushing the lineup next year, potential signing of UMass star Trivigo, question of what to do with Rooney, and who knows what with Kravtsov- there will not be spots for everyone. And due to the team's CAP construction, they need a few players that can produce while on ELCs. Of the 3, Copp is the only no brainer to extend.

2. Moving Lindgren isn't as outlandish as it may seem. This is not my first choice to gain CAP space, but depending on the organization's assessment of LD prospects- particularly Robertson- moving Lindgren might start to make sense. And while Fox/Lind make a nice pair...a LD with a higher ceiling would make an even better pair with Fox. Of course, the other part of this question is what do they do with the CAP space? Extend rentals? no way...Keep CAP available to give Kakko, Miller, and/or LaF max term deals off ELC? probably a real good move.

3. To gain CAP space, the first two guys to go have to be Nemeth and Reaves. Beyond that it's like a "rubix cube" of possibilities which the resulting decision will be based on circumstances yet to be determined...Goodrow?, Chytl?, Lindgren? one of Kreider/Trouba/Panarin? None of these are desireable, yet none are outlandish.

Do people think every AGM is what the creator thinks the team SHOULD do? This is an exercise in seeing what it would take to keep all the rentals, and has no bearing on whether or not I think we SHOULD keep all the rentals.
