I don't want to take Blaise but for a couple picks sure.

I do like Sundqvist but for a 2nd and a 4th why not.

Like the thinking and Nyquist would be a very good add.

Per usual, another Kulikov to NYR for a 23 3rd that we gladly accept

Pleasure doing business my friend

As always, the pleasure was all mine.

Yeah, he provides no value. But on an expiring Contract, he's not really hurting you at all. And I tried to be rather generous with the Picks, for your troubles.

Yzerman will want this years picks, not picks that are still 2 or 3 drafts away.

Too bad you are over the cap. Or are we bringing back the Kucherov?

A 2nd and a 4th for a bottom 6 forward thats not that bad but it probably won't happen.

If the Rangers continue on their current Roster trajectory, they'll accrue approximately $7M in Cap space by the TDL, which would more than make up for the current difference.

This is why the cap is very confusing to fans. I understand every other part of the cap pretty well, but the accruing cap I could never wrap my head around.

Some would argue that a 2nd for Sundqvist is kind of pushing it, as it is.

Considering the overall value, I don't think it would be a problem to have to wait an extra Draft class.

I'll admit that I don't know the full process, as well. I just refer to either the CURRENT CAP SPACE or DEADLINE CAP SPACE shown at the top of each team's individual page. For reference, it's easier. Let Capfriendly do the work for me.

I'll take a 2nd in 2037 for Sunny, the players gonna take 3 or 4 years to get here anyways take the overpay and quit while your ahead.

That's good value for Nyquist and matches the price. Jackets accept the offer and add it to the shorter stack of offers next to Gavrikov's on deadline day.

ANA fans seem a little giddy about getting a 3rd for Kulikov- but unless there's something about him we're unaware of- he seems to be the type of temporary 3rd pair upgrade/depth Dman that fits NYR.

Hope this is the way Drury is thinking...my gut tells me that avoiding the big ticket guys at TDL- and instead going for the under the radar additions will be the key to a good playoff push this year as well as keeping key assets going forward to open and widen the Cup window.

This is a post I saw on the HFBoards, in regards to the negative aspects of acquiring Kane. I think it perfectly summarizes certain aspects that I have brought up in the past about how Kane would not be the proper target for Broadway.....

"If this were a case of trading team and need, the Rangers would likely pass if they had to make a call on Kane this week. Kane is still an elite player who can distribute with the best of them — he ranks 25th in the league with 11.45 expected assists so far this season (courtesy of Clear Sight Hockey). But the Rangers have three players ranked higher: Panarin, Adam Fox and Mika Zibanejad. So they’re pretty good in the passing department already.

And Kane’s arrival would necessitate a power-play reconfiguration for a Rangers team that’s barely altered its top power-play unit in two years. The Rangers’ power play has scuffled this season and sits 15th in the league right now, so it could use a jolt, but another pass-first presence? Maybe not so necessary.

Now, as one team executive noted, Kane could simply tell Hawks GM Kyle Davidson he only wants to be a Ranger. If that happens and Drury can get Kane for nothing more than, say, what the Bruins gave the Sabres for Taylor Hall two years ago (a second-rounder and a middling prospect), plus the Hawks retain 50 percent of Kane’s cap hit, then you probably make that deal and sort out the pieces after.

We’re still some time away from that scenario."

Rather not have blais, sunny trade works though.
