Description

Reasonable trades, adding depth and strengthening the Bottom 6.

Nemeth for Del Zotto is a swap of Bad contracts. DZ in minors now could be a depth vet defenseman for NYR. Nemeth in NHL but a poor fit for NYR. Ottawa may see him as an NHLer and be willing to take him back.

Gourde with Retention would give rangers a proper third line at a manageable number. Retention is why I added the first pick. Blackwell a familiar player, hard worker and a pending UFA who wouldn't cost much.

Arizona trade adds depth and gives them 4 young players that could all potentially play now for them. They have a plethora of picks so probably not interested in picks in return.

Let's hear the feedback. Chris Drury I'm available for hire. LOL.

Ottawa already has a logjam at LHD they'd be taking on an extra year at 2.5 on the cap with a bunch of RFA's to sign after that 2 year window. Also, with Sanderson coming in and Holden extended. That leaves our left side looking like this next year:

Chabot
Sanderson
Holden
MDZ (Honorable mention to Brannstrom who is LHD but plays right side).

No room for Nemeth and makes no sense from an Ottawa perspective.

I understand your point. Clearly they do not view DZ as an NHL D Man. If they do view Nemeth as one, and think he is an upgrade on Holden then they may be willing to take on the extra 500k. Not like Holden isn't movable for a team looking for depth too. It's not a crazy proposal, just depends where Ottawa Front office ranks DZ, Nemeth and Holden.

Melnyk is cheap and wont want to take on the extra money and year of Nemeth's contract.

We dont want Blackwell or Stralman and I dont think Seattle would want to retain money for 3.5 years on Gourde.

Why don't we want Blackwell? He'd be an upgrade to the bottom 6 and would be cheap. Same for Stralman. Those are depth moves.

We need to upgrade the middle 6 whether it is Lehkonen, Reilly Smith, etc.

Stralman wouldnt move the needle. Someone like DeHann or Kulak would help much more on the 3rd pairing.
