Rangers are not getting kaut, seriously move on from that

That Anaheim trade isn’t horrible. Don’t like giving up Howden though

With an extension in place they are getting either the 2020 1st and a lower prospect than Kaut or Kaut and a 2nd but not both Kaut and a 1.

Id be fine with it without the 2nd, not sure we can trade it anyway as its conditional to carolina for fox

Henrique might have peaked at age 29. I don't see him as a good 2C now and not for five years. Don' see Avs or or any team and giving up so much Kreider. That's a long extension for any 28 year old.
Of course extension like so rarely happen. So the Rangers tell Kreider he isn't wanted, go make a deal with the Avs and all the complications with that.

This is a more fair perspective...

I mean Henrique is putting up great numbers for a 2C and is a good two way player. Ideally you hope he keeps that up for three more years, then one of Andersson or Chytil is 23 or so and is matching if not exceeding his production as 2C. He then is a great option for 3C and with the cap increase by then it’ll probably be near market value...

Bang on. That pick is frozen.

They wouldn’t give to the 16th overall at the draft for him so in no way would they give up kaut and a 1st, temper your expectations big time

I literally said the same thing chief.

No you didn’t, you said they would do kaut and a 2nd. So the 16th overall the year before who you know is nhl ready plus another pick?

Delusional. That’s more than giving up the 16th overall this year. They didn’t do the move at the draft so they aren’t going to spend more on a trade a month later
