Would the rangers do this

Probably. I think Holland will want a pick though.

That's an interesting offer- but at this point I have to say no - NYR still have hopes Lias can develop into a solid mid 6 presence....the problem right now with him (not necessarily a fault of his own) is his deployment...for whatever reason the team has a fascination w/ Bret Howden- which relegates Lias (who has a higher ceiling than Howden) to 4th line...which means trying to make the best of playing with linemates (Haley and Smith) who have no business suiting up as wings on any NHL or even AHL team.

As far as JP- his pedigree is unquestionable- and who knows- maybe a change of scenery would put his career on track...but you do have to question a talent like that who couldn't stick in a lineup featuring the McD, Drais, and RNH. At this point JP is certainly worth taking a gamble on- but I wouldn't offer more that a few picks (can include conditional upgrades based on his performance) and a mid tier prospect.

Yes. Lias Andersson would be great for you guys as a 3C. He’s excellent in the defensive zone and has decent offensive upside. As long as he isn’t kept on the 4th line or with trash players, Andersson could be an impactful player.

You’re totally right but with Howden, Henrikkson and Chytil on the come up along with Andersson, someone will eventually have to be moved. Moving Andersson for Puljujarvi whose been really good in the Finnish league would be a good move for us. I just doubt Gorton thinks the same way.

No way Gorton makes this trade... Why would the Rangers or any other wise GM trade for a bust of a 1st round pick like PulJujarvi? If Puljujarvi is such a great prospect, why is EDM trying to trade him? Why is he playing overseas instead of playing in the NHL? Gorton said last trade deadline he's not interested in other teams prospects and that he wants draft picks instead. Any GM that trades anything of value for Puljujarvi is a fool and Gorton has proven that he's no fool.
