Quoting: OldNYIfan
Turcotte for Edmundson with 50% retention and your 2023 second is fine, Rangers aren't close to giving up on LaFreniere yet, and with their thin prospect pool and few futures, Pittsburgh isn't giving up a second for a veteran neither-here-nor-there goalie.
Agree on Turcotte
Agree this isnt the Deal for Laff but do think NYI is ready to give up on him
Agree
I think MTL gives up its 5th OA pick and Jesse Ylonen then Laff is ours.
Whether NYR get Carlson, Michkov or Smith they get a talent who will likely surpass laff
Michkov is a way superior Goal Scorer but is a bigger gamble the cavoite being when he comes to NYR he'll be a 4th year pro joining Panarin and company.
He'll be much cheaper at a time when you'll be so tight on cash that you'll dream about years like this one lol
I think if you gave NYR an out with a similar level of Skill as Laff along with a guy who can atleast play his role in the middle 6 even if not at his level .
Then they'd atleast consider it
All that said , i wouldnt make that trade.
Just believe its possible given our history of overpaying for French players
