Saving the rangers

That's about right for Engvall given the flat cap world

Ottawa won't give up Brown for so little, he's not what they thought he would be but they won't admit defeat yet for PR reasons alone

Winnipeg's locker room is toxic enough as is

LA has no interest in moving Byfield. Miller would be the best returning asset in that trade offer and that's far too big a gap in value IMO

No where near enough for Laine. He's had a bad season but I attribute that more to Columbus than him. One promising prospect and a bag of "meh" doesn't fetch a goal scorer like him.

I don't think the Rangers need saving.

They are a young team that is just emerging from a rebuild.

The owner panicking and deciding to build a team of face punchers who aren't good at hockey is something they need to be saved from

Logan Brown just turned 23. I'm sure Ottawa is frustrated though and would consider moving him, but it would likely be part of a bigger deal. If it's a deal that's for Logan Brown ONLY I can't see them taking less than a late 2nd. Or swapping say Logan Brown and their own 3rd rd (or TB 2nd) pick for middle pick in the 1st round. Less than that and they'll just sign him and gamble that he finally get healthy.

No top-6 center, no Laine. We're still better off trying to rehab him here.

How do you rehab Laine when you don't have a center who is great at carrying the puck and passing? Laine is a one trick pony but it's a really really good trick probably top three finisher in the NHL but even without Laine you might have won the trade - are you going to pay Laine 7.5-8.5 mil and try to put the players around him to get the most out of him ? it could go sour real fast.
