buffalo fans need to stop with this deal-- it doesn't get it done at all.
a 24 year old PPG ahl player and a sub par defenseman when the rangers have 8 on the roster

literally it's a simple trade to get him.
Offer a 2nd rounder and he's essentially yours

Cj smith is more valuable than a 2nd. By a long shot

not worth taking 4m cap dump with it tho-- and i would argue against being worth more than a 2nd. He produced in college worse than Vesey and look how he's panned out in the NHL. With a second the player will be 18 years old and have room to grow, not 24 and playing ok in the AHL-- to put into context production in the AHL, Brandon Pirri is the leading scorer there with 30 points in 23 games, peter holland was just as successful as CJ Smith in the AHL and look at their NHL careers

Congratulations, you found a return that is less valuable than Lovejoy. Well done!

Not for the Rangers.

He has zero value for the Rangers, to be honest.
