I think going for centers who can play right wing would be most beneficial. Is Tyler Johnson sortof a Swiss Army knife?

Kuz is unlikely. Vrana and Lavi don’t have good history, wouldn’t mind the other guys

Let’s hear your Franky V offer

Felt like he bounced back and forth in Tampa. The versatility would be huge in any deal. Could save us from having to make two deals

Due to the games missed by Zegras, McTavish and Carlsson, Frankie Vatrano is our leading scorer so far this season, so I don't think that he's available unless, as my esteemed friend @GeneralLandro intimates, it would be an eye-opener.

they have a couple pieces that I would be interested in if they were offered, but it would have to be a massive overpay

I think we’re ok on RW so long as Kakko is healthy but my order would be

Vatrano
Tank
Monahan
Eberle
Duclair
Roslovic
Johnson
Kuzmenko only because that’s the longest shot
Not interested in Vrana

Before his injury the play out of Kakko wasn’t confidence building for top 6 in the playoffs. Don’t think wheeler can manage it all year and playoffs.

Patrick Kane?

Rangers aren’t gonna overpay for a guy they probably could have kept if they dumped goodrow, it just seems dumb and bad asset management

For some reason, this NYR fan base is obsessed with rentals and bringing them back (motte, Tarasenko, Kane, Vatrano)

Crazy how Vatrano flew under the radar, rangers got him for a 4th, he played well for the rangers, got paid in the off-season, and now everyone is interested in him

With the cap tight rentals are all you can do at deadline. I’m not interested in Kane coming back or high price for Tarasenko again. Vatrano was the best fit we’ve had last two years with Mika and Kreider. Has 17 goals on a **** team so should garner plenty of interest

Only way I see it is if Kakko is part of the trade for a RW (which is possible) . I think Kakko gets another look on zibs line before the TDL and they’ll base a decision on that

We really need to focus on centers if the cap doesn’t allow us to get multiple players. Center takes priority over RW imo

Wheeler is destined for 3RW or 13th F. I don’t think he can hang all season with Zib and Kreider, but he’s good enough for the 3rd line

Agree with you on a lot. Don’t think Kakko goes unless it’s a guy with term coming back. Center is certainly the priority with Chytil going back to Czechia to reset and Kakko skating. Getting him back is like making an early deadline move and agree to let him go up top again. If he falters again and we have cap make a move and put him to third line checking role. From some earlier comments I made I’d definitely like to get a versatile player who can move from center to wing if needed. Wheeler has had flashes but third line at best and he can’t crack top 9 needs to be scratched

The only way Roslovic costs you much is if you need retention.

Tyler Johnson probably takes a 3rd to acquire. Something more if Rangers need retention.

Tank probably returns a first wherever he goes.

The Wheel Chair was on full display today. We can’t go into playoffs with him on top line
