Got out of hand

Take out Lafreniere and maybe the Rangers consider it. Otherwise enjoy getting laughed at

So it breaks down to LaF + #23 for #11 + Podkolzin

And then a 2nd to take Goodrow

Neither part of this deal is remotely appealing to Drury

I would imagine Drury, if he trades him, would deal Lafreniere for a more proven player. Supposedly Vancouver is interested in Lafreniere, and so this is my take on the trade since Vancouver doesn't really have anything that the Rangers could afford to take on.

A lot of people think Lafreniere's value tanked a ton, and in my opinion, if that is true, he's still worth around a top-10 pick (probably picks 8-12 of this coming draft) since he's only 21. I've seen too many suggest that he's worth a late 1st or less. Of course, Podkolzin's value too took a hit with the season he had, Drury probably should have no interest in him considering how Rangers are struggling to develop offensive players but who knows?


If Drury still wants top 3 value for him then it would just be Lafreniere+Goodrow for 11th OV+Podkolzin+ a 2nd probably. Maybe a more reasonable suggestion would have been Lafreniere+23rd OV Goodrow for 11th OV+ Podkolzin+ 2025 2nd+2023 3rd (75th OV).

Then it more or less breaks down to Lafreniere for Podkolzin+11th OV and 23rd OV for 2025 2nd + 2023 3rd + taking on Goodrow.




Rangers would definitely accept without Lafreniere in even if you considered Podkolzin and Goodrow a wash.

Trading back 12 spots from 11th is going to cost a lot more than a 2nd-round pick in a future draft.
