Rangers fans, as said in the description...

I know I will get the Schneider is untouchable, I get it, I know how you feel, although I disagree I will hear you out. This trade is more of a place holder both in terms of the team and in terms of the value, there is almost 2 trades in it. I think and heard from Jeff Patterson that he heard that NYR has raised their price that they will pay for miller.

Othmann is definitely an untouchable, he is clearly our #1 prospect. Now if there is a sign and trade with JT Miller where the Nucks lock him up 5 more years and are willing to retain salary for 5 years, then you are onto something, but the Rangers need players on ELCs, which Othmann is when he likely comes to NY in the 23-24 season. I don't see Schenider being moved either. If there is a trade to be made it will likely be some combo of a 1st, Chytil or Kakko or Kravstov, and Lundkvist or Jones, if salary is retained an additional pick. If that isn't to your liking, find another team that will give you a better offer.

I respect that you dont think that he is worth 1st, Kakko, Lundkvist but keep in mind, although he is about to turn 30, he just had a 99 point season. He is a player that fits what the rags are looking for, and to get a 99 point player, you need to give up your best prospect, look at recent trades like the eichel trade, I am not saying that miller is eichel, but he is more physical and has a better bill of health, he is probably worth 3/4 Eichel for when he was traded, and JE returned a

very good roster player on a team friendly deal
best prospect in system
1st
2nd

miller wont return a tuch, but he will return the top prospect, a roster player, a 1st and that is about 3/4 eichel

Easiest NO THANKS Drury will ever have to say

You're comparing the Eichel trade where Jack had 4+ years left on his deal to Miller who would be a 1 year rental for the Rangers. Nowhere near the same thing or same trade value.

Disagree, although he did have term and age on miller, he was a very distressed asset. It was a very good player in a very bad situation, and if you read my descripton and my header comment you would see that this is more of the template and that there has been movement.

You disagree trading for someone with 4+ years left on a deal compared to just 1 is not the same thing? Ok, then not much to talk about because that is detached from reality. Good luck with this nonsense trade because getting Othmann and Schneider will never happen.

I didn't say that I don't think Miller is worth or will get a package of that caliber you are asking for (but more likely at the deadline as opposed to when the season starts)... but the Rangers cannot afford ro deplete the system for a 99 point player who is going to command 8-9 million a season (so basically a rental) with K'Andre Miller and Laf needing new contracts next season. Also, as I stated above, the Rangers need players on ELC deals, Othmann fits that mold and has the best chance of any Rangers forward prospect to make the pro-team for the 23-24 season when Laf, Miller, Kravstov (if here), Jones, will all be off ELC deals. At that time only Schenider will be on an ELC. I believe the Nucks will find a trade partner like the Caps, Pitt or the Devils who may be willing to pay more than the Rangers will for Miller then can actually lock him up long term.

well put, understood
