<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gdli</b></div><div>The other candidates you mentioned are certainly candidates, no argument there. No buyout, agree 1000%. Chris certainly pulled a rabbit out of hat getting 3 picks for Georgy. Bulletin: Valeri Nichushkin just signed an 8 yr, $6.125M deal with the Avs. His production virtually matched Andrew Copp, with Copp having 1 more assist. As a C, Andrew is much better at face-off, and the NYR ability to retain Andrew just got a bit dimmer I'm afraid.</div></div>

Sadly, today is D-day for Copp in my opinion. If we don't re-sign him today I don't see him re-signing here once he hits the market, as Detroit and Nashville can offer him more money and likely the term he is looking for. To me it comes down to if Copp is willing to accept 5.5/5.75 for 5 years to have a chance to win a cup? He certainly won't have that anytime soon in Detroit, Nashville adding Copp and McDonagh are big moves, but not sure that puts them above Colorado or even St. Louis. I just think the Rangers will be moving on if the deal isn't done today. Chytil to 2C, sign an affordable 3C (White, Rodrigues, Jarnkrok, Dylan Strome, possibly Stastny - but I'd prefer not a 36 year old) and if Chytil isn't working out we make a deal in season or at the deadline. Getting PLD to play with Breadman would be great, but an extension would need to be worked out before we traded for him and it will cause us major issues down the road. Drury has how work cut out for him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeautifulIdiot</b></div><div>I respect that you dont think that he is worth 1st, Kakko, Lundkvist but keep in mind, although he is about to turn 30, he just had a 99 point season. He is a player that fits what the rags are looking for, and to get a 99 point player, you need to give up your best prospect, look at recent trades like the eichel trade, I am not saying that miller is eichel, but he is more physical and has a better bill of health, he is probably worth 3/4 Eichel for when he was traded, and JE returned a

very good roster player on a team friendly deal
best prospect in system
1st
2nd

miller wont return a tuch, but he will return the top prospect, a roster player, a 1st and that is about 3/4 eichel</div></div>

I didn't say that I don't think Miller is worth or will get a package of that caliber you are asking for (but more likely at the deadline as opposed to when the season starts)... but the Rangers cannot afford ro deplete the system for a 99 point player who is going to command 8-9 million a season (so basically a rental) with K'Andre Miller and Laf needing new contracts next season. Also, as I stated above, the Rangers need players on ELC deals, Othmann fits that mold and has the best chance of any Rangers forward prospect to make the pro-team for the 23-24 season when Laf, Miller, Kravstov (if here), Jones, will all be off ELC deals. At that time only Schenider will be on an ELC. I believe the Nucks will find a trade partner like the Caps, Pitt or the Devils who may be willing to pay more than the Rangers will for Miller then can actually lock him up long term.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HOCKEYBOY448</b></div><div>Honestly no matter how anyone slices it they over achieved this season. They’ll likely regress next year, especially considering the amount of talent they’re going to lose throughout the lineup. All this run will do is make them foolishly trade picks, prospects and younger players on the roster for veterans in an attempt to make a run for the cup. I have zero faith that management has learned from the fiasco that were the 2010’s, which seemed like we didn’t know what a prospect or draft pick looked like. Combined with the awful player development that occurs and our inability to develop high end forwards, I think we’re screwed and doomed to repeat the 2010’s, meaning a very good team, but not a great team that can get the job done and win the Stanley Cup. Maybe I’m wrong and they surprise, he’ll I’m looking forward to that day, but given the people at the top (Dolan, Sather who still lurks in the shadows and Drury) I’ve got my doubts.</div></div>

I completely agree that I am very concerned with what the Rangers will do with our skilled young forwards, particularly Chytil, Kakko, and Kravstov (as Drury already messed up with Kravstov twice). This problem goes back way further than the 2010's, Rangers moved Amonte, Weight, and Marchant for quick fixes to win a cup. Winning the cup was great, but that team was very old and had no youth to inject. That trend continued with the horrendous Marc Savard trade and that just off the top of my head. Drury made great deadline moves, but what he does this offseason will make our break the team for the next few years. Is he going to overpay for PLD and create a team that will need to be broken up in 2 years? Will he sign a Nick Paul to center the 3rd line, and promote Chytil, Laf, and Kakko to the top 6? Will he sign Stastny as a stop gap, and anyone who thinks Stastny will play 3rd line so Chytil can play on the 2nd line is delusional. Or will Drury lock up Copp or god forbid Strome, blocking Chytil which we all know will lead to him being traded. Up to Drury to break the cycle, sadly not sure I see that happening after getting the ECF, I expect the Rangers to go all in or better or worse.
