Stars easily decline, Lundkvist gets Dellandrea, not Bourque, not close at all to getting Bourque.

Bourque costs you Schneider. And I’m not even sure I’d do that trade after adding Bichsel, Kyrou, Fegaras, and White in this past draft

You absolutely have to be joking on the Trouba trade. Even if the Rangers retained 50% of his contract Detroit would say no to that trade AND then you threw in draft picks going to the NYR too.

Maybe 4 years ago Trouba was in demand...but his value isn't what it used to be. He's got 4x 8M left with a full NMC the next 2 years and a partial 15 team the year after followed by a 12 team. That's pretty much an untrade-able contract.

Yeah I don’t agree. Trouba is a great fit in Detroit. No one thinks anyone has anyone value. I think Yzerman would love to add his snarl and leadership and I think dumping Hronek’s $ on the Rangers here, plus only giving him a 2/3, makes this a steal for Detroit. Regardless I don’t think the picks would hold it up from a Rangers perspective. With Copp going there I can’t see it not happening especially since the Rangers are going to need that money for Lafreniere and Miller.

Bourque/Lundkvist seems fair to me. Two top prospects. Schneider gets Johnson not Bourque.
