Big overpayment as is. take out one of Thompson or Nylander and add in a lesser d prospect I think you're pretty close.

for 3.5 years of mika at just over 5 million and eating sobotka's contract? I think at least its fair.

more like mittelstadt and a 1st.

for a guy that has a career high 47 points? & he'd be the 2C on Buffalo? I mean if he was gonna centre the top line, sure.. but if you wanna give up that much for a 2C I'm sure the Rangers would take it in a heartbeat.

not a chance that happens. that even more of an overpayment.

if you want a 1st line center that is 25 and on an insanely team friendlt contract you will need to give that up as a starter, not to mention nyr is rebuilding so moving him when he is perfect age for the transition is dumb and his 34 points in 37 he is not going to traded for pennies on the dollar.

he's not a 1C.. and if he gets moved to Buffalo he's a far behind Eichel and a clear cut 2C.. this is his only season where he's come close to a point per game. He's a very good 2way centre, yes I agree there. But he's been a career 50 point guy and to say he's a legit 1C is just not correct at all.

?????????????

just because he would be a 2nd line center on your team doesn't mean he loses value. He also has been injured every year and this year without an injury he is proving his value on pace for 70+ which i assume he wont get but 60 is easily reachable by his standards.

Are you adding skjei bc that’s an insane asking price. I really hope you’re kidding but idk

2 things you said there should stand out
1) just because he would be a 2nd line center on your team doesn't mean he loses value ... yes it does affect value. A team isn't gonna pay 1C price for a guy that they'll use for a 2C role. If they do, they're the dumbest franchise in the league.
2) He also has been injured every year... injury concerns and history affect his value. so that drops the price down as well.

It's also not my favourite team so there's no bias from either side on me. It's a value issue. On a good team, Zibanejad is a 2C, not a 1C. The Rangers aren't a good team or a contender so he can play 1C there and get 70 points. But if he was moved to Buffalo, he'd be right back around 50ish points in a lesser role at 2C which is exactly what he is. So I think you're overvaluing your players just a little bit because they're on your favourite team. When it comes to trades, you have to separate value from bias. You can like a guy, but shouldn't overvalue him just cause he's one of your favourite players.

1. He is not nearly my favorite player Mcdonagh was and still is currently.
2. Not overvaluing a player that is one pace for a 70 point season while being 25 and only a 5.3m cap hit.
3. NYR have no intention of trading him hense increasing his value.
4. Refrence McDonagh deal he retained full value even though he was brought in for the 2nd line.
5. Yes loses a little value becasue of injury history.
6. Not bias on the facts of what stastny got, hanzal, antoinne vermett and these are all players on 1 year that had less points and worse underlying stats than ziba and each one fetched a 1st and more. With ziba locked up for 3 years without a doubt the return is much more.

Umm...no. The Rangers do not intend to move Zibanejad, so, this is a waste of your time.
