Having 4 firsts is a little video game-y, but in principle I don't see why it couldn't happen. Pretty solid deals imo

Remove Sykora and NYR would accept. With Sykora they'd rather have Granlund with retention.

Agreed. Also both wingers might seem like overkill with the need for a C. I'd drop Sykora and Barabanov from the trade and make whatever slight pick adjustments that might be needed.

Absolutely

Definitely but I think it needs to happen and it should.
Ferraro is likely an offseason a trade (if we’re assuming Grier wants to commit to his guys - Thrun and Shakir on the top4 LD) - which will see a first.

Then if Grier can properly utilize our cap space he should acquire a short/ mid term UFA - plus accumulate around a first with a bad contract.

Here I acquired two - but with the Rags likely not trading their first (with the reports that Dolan wants to keep his first for the sphere draft).



Makes sense. However this now gets complicated with Dolan saying he wants to draft at the sphere with their first.



I think that’s the fair - I just didn’t want to trade the rangers a deal with term. Here they aren’t locked into anything and could presumably resign Barabanov for cheaps
