Not enough for Mangiapane, We don't need Andersen if we are rebuilding, Ottawa doesn't do that

-I'm not sure if Mangiapane is the exact guy that the Rangers would be looking for (they need C & RW depth more than LW) but this deal is basically a bag of pucks, another bag of pucks, and what's probably a late 2nd net year for a guy that just scored 35 goals. I feel like if I'm the Rangers I take it and figure out the lineup issues later.

-There's enough Sens fans around here that I'd defer to their knowledge on this package. I think Zub is a great player but if I'm rebuilding I don't know if I take the RD with 1 year of term left from Ottawa when they have so many younger prospects that are close to NHL ready with RFA rights for a while (I see you've noticed Jake Sanderson there). I think if I was making this deal I'd drop Zub and take one of the half dozen forwards they have that are close to the bigs. You've only got Zub as RD3 here as it is, you can grab someone in UFA to fill that spot for a year or two if you're truly rebuilding.

-Isles say no. Backlund would be redundant on an Islanders team with JG Pageau signed long-term to a $5M AAV deal, so you're basically paying an extra 2nd round pick to force one of your assets to play out of position. I think if I'm packaging a 2nd rounder with Josh Bailey's deal I can get a player that's less of a square peg into a round hole.

-That's a lot of Markstrom money to eat. If Carolina is into that deal, I think they have to add more - obviously they send Andersen or Raanta back (if I'm talking I pick Raanta - not that he's bad, just that I'm gonna get 40 healthy & good games out of him instead of the 50-55 Andersen would give me), the picks are on board, and I feel like you could probably pry Necas out if you wanted to drop that 2nd rounder (Raanta/Necas/1st for Markstrom with 4x$1.5M retained seems fair to me.)

-Probably Kylington's value I guess? I almost think it would make more sense to just qualify him on a one-year deal and trade him at TDL when the demand for good D will be higher. Give him the first 50-55 games to prove this season wasn't a fluke(I don't think it was) and when the deadline rolls around you can get a monster haul for him, especially because this team you've built has more than enough room to retain some money. If Ben Chiarot retained down to $1.75M can get a 1st/3rd/B prospect in his walk year, I feel like Kylington with RFA rights retained down to a similar number can get -at least- that much back - especially if a late 2nd is all you're really getting dangled in the summer.

How much is Mangiapane next contract going to be per year? He's good but doesnt play center so I cant see the rangers having a lot of money to spend on the position

Calgary will just throw a bunch of money at UFA's if Gaudreau leaves.

Treliving is in the final year of his contract. Not sure he can afford to lose Gaudreau and then miss the playoffs

Tkachuk doesnt get close to that. I know its hard to see great players not worth so much on tge trade market but hes got 1 year of team control and look at all the wingers dealt the past couple of seasons, nobody even comes close to this return.
