new idea

Team: 2022-23 New York Rangers

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 5, 2022

Published: Jul. 5, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Idea here is to solidify the top 6 (Copp) while moving a very valuable player (Miller).

Not sure about the valuations in this deal- not familiar with where LA stands on Pinelli (a real good prospect going into D+2 year who I'm guessing jumps from juniors to AHL this year).

Moving Miller would sidestep the cap crunch next year, all the while adding a C prospect to the NYR shallow C depth....a prospect who currently projects as an eventual top 6 C.

Of course NYR D takes a hit...but this is a position of organizational strength.

In the end, the question is who is more important to this team going forward:
Miller as a cornerstone to NYR D?
or
Copp as a pillar of the F group going forward?
NOTE: depending on $, Trocheck might even be an option in this type scenario (if prefered over Copp)
