As a Ranger fan, I kind of like the mindset of this trade. For one, I am all about looking for trades to shed salary (Staal, Namestnikov, Smith, etc). But on the flip side, I am getting the feeling that the Rangers might not get the package they wanted for Hayes, due to all those big name pieces from Ottawa getting in the way. If they are unable to get the amount of picks they want for Hayes, then I am all for an alternative trade where we "take less" in an effort to move unwanted salary and free up Cap Space.
