NOPE. Schneider isn't available, period.

I don't know if you've heard but according to Ranger fans he's the second coming of Nick Lidstrom so he's gonna cost the equivalent of 17 1sts

they can’t afford to take on anderson, don’t see there being a package the habs could offer that fills the rangers’ needs that they’d actually want to offer

If we weren't stuck with Trouba's contract, Braden would be my #2 RD now. Josh is a salary dump. No thanks.

Over the top rhetoric. If I was a comedian I'd ask for 20.

Schneider will be Trouba's replacement in 2 more years, but thank god we have Trouba now. He is worth every penny/

Your comments are spot on. There are a lots of other reasons, but why dwell on it.

Nope, not a chance.

Nope he’s troubas replacement

What if instead of Schneider it was Kakko and Nemeth. Then NYR could trade the 1st and something else (plus a salary move) to WPG for Dubois ?

I actually value comments like yours so much. Comments like NOT A CHANCE or GM CD laughs and hangs up the phone is so stupid. Your comment however actually gives context which is nice.

Kakko and Nemeth I would not dismiss out of hand. I have to work through the rest of what you propose but "dinners ready." No Kidding I also agree with Despise that Braden is Trouba's replacement, with Nils slotted in at 3rd RD. But we are stuck with Jacob's contract disaster until his wife finishes her medical residency here in NY. She has 2 years left and it is stipulated in Jacobs NMC. I'll touch base again after dinner, after I have had a chance to more closely look at what you propose. Enjoy your dinner, I'm about to enjoy mine. Best regards.

Hi Super Randy. Dinner was delicious. Hope your was too. Now down to business. Drury has stated that the #2 C position is his #1 priority. It's obvious to anyone why The Rangers are is a serious CAP crunch. I've been working this problem a lot. If I were the Drury, here is what I am looking for. A center or a wing who can play center that has an offensive production of 50 pts. or better a faceoff percencentage of 50% or better (or as close to 50% as possible), and who costs no more the $5.5M. There are a number of candidates getting attention (not necessarily by me in all cases) including WPG C Mark Scheifele. The Rangers have a lot of players with NMCs and NTCs. Both Dubois and Scheifele would not be viable in the out years, even if WPG offered to retain some of their salaries. Believe me, I've been working night and day to come up with candidates. If money were no object both WPG players would be on the radars screen. All other criteria become moot if you can't afford the player. The best I have come up with is a trade for SEAs Yanni Gourde in exchange for Filip Chytil and Kappo Kakko. Yanni's production stats lasts year were 21-27-48 and his career average 22-28-50. Faceoff % last year 49.5% and his career average is 48.3%. He is under contract for the next three years at $5.16M. He has been putting up good numbers for the last 5 years. Hope this response helps. Feel free to get back to me if I failed to address anything. Best Regards
