<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Goalie</b></div><div>Yea we’d totally sell arguably our second best forward this season for a bunch of futures with the main piece being protected!!!</div></div>

You could easily use those assets in the offseason to get a player better then Lafreniere, also I don't believe you are being reasonable if you genuinely believe he is close to 2nd best forward, it's not arguable at all, Panarin, Kreider, Trocheck and Zibanejad have all been head and shoulders above, both offensively and defensively (except Trocheck on defence, his xGA is abysmal, and yet he still has better overall defence stats slightly), advanced stats and the eye test agree, hell even Chytil has better average underlying numbers then Lafreniere (obviously small sample size but it shows my point). He is doing much better for sure, but it still isn't exceptional.

Also of course it is protected, 2025 is an insanely top heavy draft, all of those top 5 players alone hold more value then Lafrienere.

Edit: Coming back to this later, this is insanely lopsided for the Rangers, this package is sizably bigger then the package for Debrincat (the first time), who was coming off a 40 goal season and nearly ppg, but instead it is for a cap dump and 50 point pace player.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNCountryClub</b></div><div>Nice job with the Kaprizov deal.

Guerin/Leipold won't ever move him, but it's a very strong offer and hits on MNs needs. Faber and Reinbacher would be a sweet duo on the right side.</div></div>

I'd probably think long and hard if that offer was pitched before Kaprizov's NMC kicks in July 1st. His contract structure makes me incredibly nervous, especially with the team not really in a position to compete unless some prospects take massive leaps forward next year (Rossi, Faber, Wallstedt, at least 1 left D and a winger) which is too many things that need to go right. If Kaprizov doesn't want to resign, he walks for nothing and with him having a NMC, there's no reason that can't happen if he wants it to. It's certainly going to limit the return if he is willing to waive for select locations, so the above may just be the best offer you get and it would definitely help the team in the long run. Tough choice.
