3C is a tough one, there is not enough there that is worth the ask, and no reason to spend assets for a player that is marginally better than Brodz.

Novak's price is rising given recent comments by Trotz on his extension and if the NYR were to get him it would have to be a stuff and probably not worth it.

No interest in dealing with the Ducks, overpriced in value. Vatrano had a great run with us, but not at recent prices, and no guarantees he plays to current levels. He is a volume shooter, it has been speculated that KZ needs more of a play driver (cmp KZB).

One player that might be worth it, if reports are correct on the ask, is Roslovic. Anywhere from a 2nd to 4th is in the realm and, he has position flexibility (C, RW) and good skating. Roslovic is streaky but if he hits come playoffs, it could be worth sending a later draft pick and b prospect for him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LumberJacques</b></div><div>Gallant is far from the only coach to favour the big lads, the thing is that the NHL as a whole doesn't value undersized defencemen much unless they are absolutely elite. While he is signed for cheap, his role to this point doesn't suggest this is likely to be an underpay.

The fact that he is waivers-eligible means that any acquiring team needs to have a very high level of certainty that he will take a regular spot on their defence and be a better option than their current lineup. If that is the case then how much of an upgrade is he? Does he simply improve on your 6th Dman, or your 5th or do you believe he has a very strong chance of being an upgrade in your top 4? Given his lack of experience at the NHL level it would be incredibly optimistic to assume he would feature among a team's 4 best defencemen.

Following my reasoning above most teams would likely view him as at best a bottom-pair upgrade. This begs the question: what would you pay for a possible bottom-pair upgrade who might also never be more than a 7th Dman at the NHL level?</div></div>

Jones's value to a team would be as a PP QB

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>Not an easy question to answer tbh. Every team will be making their cuts out of camp so it's not really a time that GMs are trying to make external additions. I guess if someone really saw something they loved, they'd pay a later pick, like outside of the top-90, but most teams have players of this caliber in their systems that deserve a look anyways. For example, the Blues have to get Tyler Tucker and Scott Perunovich some ice time, they can't be spending picks on other team's guys. If he gets grabbed off waivers, is it really significant loss to the Rangers?</div></div>

I am not making a comment on the fit with the Blues. Jones is NHL ready having played 1LD and at a high level in the AHL and also some NHL experience. His worth is that he can step in right away, the Rangers will not just let him go to waivers, a likely trade would be a swap for another regarded prospect that is blocked on their team. He will be in a camp battle for 3LD and PP2 QB, but given Gus' experience and having played for Lavi, Gus will probably win the 3LD position. If Jones shows out in camp or in the early season, a 2nd rounder could be in order, but he could also win the position which is preferable to the Rangers. if Jones can take hold of the position, then it will be a one-year no-risk insurance deal with Gus.
