A little absurd but so are most things on here

Team: 2022-23 New York Rangers

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 3, 2022

Published: Jun. 15, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Rationale:

Copp trade is to anywhere frankly. Same price Philly paid for Kevin Hayes.

Dadonov + 2nd = John Moore < Nemeth.
Blais + 4th smooth over the differences between Roy vs. a 2nd.

Reilly = 3rd = Goodrow. Rangers taking on more salary. Boston taking on more term, mutually beneficial.

Carolina severely lacks LHD in the pool, Lindgren has youth and low cost relative to value. They also have a ton of close to if not NHL ready C's in Suzuki, Rees and Ponomaryov. It's need for need.

Dallas needs RHD pretty badly, Rangers need a bit more size and puck handling from their LHD. Schneider put up better production with Nemeth/Braun than Harley did with Klingberg while being younger. Hence the 2nd.

Comps for Trouba trade are Risto (#14oa + 2nd + Hagg) and himself (20oa + Neal Pionk). This falls right in that zone. Still surprised how underrated he is on here. 12th among Dmen this season in 5v5 points on a team that did not score a lot at 5v5.

Obviously an excessive amount of trades. But Drury's blunders leave a lot of stuff to clean up in terms of cap/roster management.
