Sujet: I wonder hear me out NYR fans
This is a move a team makes as their window of competition closes. Not as it opens.

While I feel a couple complimentary moves will help make this a Playoff team next year (as the younger pieces also continue to mature), these last 2 weeks have shown that they aren't quite there yet.

Rangers are loaded with Defensive Prospects, and are very high on Lundkvist (who could quickly rival Reilly Offensively in the near future). Moving him for another Defensemen, on an expiring Contract, makes no sense. They are already paying Trouba. They will be giving Fox (who provides much of their Offense) a hefty raise. There is no room for them to resign Reilly, even if they wanted to.

If the Rangers move high quality pieces, it will be for a Center. Not another Defensemen.

I like the fact that you laid out the other side of your deal. I think this makes it a lot more clear why Sabres fans are turning this down.

Both those players are/were close to being good adds for us, so I like the thought process, but it just doesn't come together for me. Kerfoot would have been a good addition over the summer, but we signed Eakin to fill that 3C hole so the need for Kerfoot has pretty much vanished. With Dermott, we definitely have a hole at LD. But what we really need is a second pairing LD, and I don't think Dermott has proven capable of that role. He's not a strong enough player to justify sitting Risto for him, and the same can be said for the rest of our RHD. I'd rather play one on their off side than sit one for Dermott.

Hope that makes sense.
