The Rangers cant afford to trade Mika, they'd be leaving the cupboard bare and the kids would be eaten alive!
Robertson and Gurianov are pretty good prospects, but both have question marks. Gurianov may never come over from Russia according to rumors, and Robertson (while talented) has the"knock" floating around that he doesn't have the speed to translate to the NHL. The other players in the deal may never even hit the NHL, their a big rung down the ladder from Robertson and Gurianov. Ritchie shouldnt even be in the deal, the Rangers already have more attractive options in-house.
The 1st pick aside, your then asking the Rangers to give over two prospects (Ronning in particular) who in large part cancel out what the Rangers would be receiving for Mika in the first place.
Robertson
Gurianov
2019 1st
2020 2nd
This maybe gets you Mika, depending on how high the Rangers are on Gurianov and his intent to play in the KHL...but again, the Rangers cant afford to trade Mika anyway. They would need to be blown away, and this doesn't blow them away.
