Description

In my opinion kulak and ceci won’t make it past deadline on this roster. Kulak seems the most logical to move first because the team can address another area of the roster while replacing his minutes internally. I’m not going to defend this trade as something the rangers should do just the type of move I’d be searching for. I don’t expect to win this trade from a value stand point not really in position to do so but if can come out of it able to ice a 4th forward line without double shifting one of the big boys and bank some additional cap flexibility that’s a win in my books.
What I’d look to do on the defensive lines is to find some form of stability to start building off of. Putting VD up with ekholm for the time being could help that. While I don’t mind bouchard being a high event player right now it’s a bit too high event on the negative side and it’s causing way too many break downs and poor reads for the team to get into a groove. I have no doubt Bouchard get back to the higher standard we expect to see of him just right now his minutes and quality of comp need a reduction. Still let him eat up pp1 time.

Go talk to the Blackhawks if this is the type of trade you're looking for. They've got the cap space, they've got the PLENTY of Boninos and Pitlicks. They're interested in making TDL deals too.

Maybe it’s not good for rangers that I can’t speak upon as confidently but for Edmonton it allows rolling 4 forward lines and banks cap flexibility come deadline for a bigger move. Don’t see an issue with it.

I see where you're going with this. A trade for a goalie is more to the fixing. If it's not Mrazek, Blackwood or someone else, it isn't getting fixed.

Derek Ryan still gets it done as a fourth liner, by the way.

I only added pitlick here for fun that 4th line rw spot is Ryan’s once McDavid gets back and shuffled back in. I don’t view goaltending as the problem for Edmonton each guy may have let 1 or 2 weak ones a game that isn’t an issue to big to overcome it’s the 2-3-4-5 times a game break downs happen in front not giving skinner or Campbell much of a chance. Just want to swap kulak for a 4th line centre with experience to roll 4 forward lines.
