Vlad 1st line center??? Think you meant to flop him with Zibanejad. If anyone other than Chytil isn't 2nd line center it will be Strome or someone who is not currently on the team.

No, I have him there for a reason. When Vlad was playing with Stamkos and Kucherov he was in the midst of one of his best seasons. He's been a tad unlucky with a PDO under 99, but besides that I really do think he is one of the best plug-n-play players we have (as he can play any role requested). With Panarin and Buchnevich, we have three highly skilled russians on one line-- yes this is more of a 1b line than a 1a line (at least on paper). The purpose of this is that there is a reason Namestnikov hasn't been traded yet, his value is so low that the rangers want to get a better return on their investment into him. What better way to boost his value than to put him in a situation where he can succeed. As we saw with Kevin Hayes, Duchene, etc, teams will overpay for a player that they think will help them win a cup. Do I think a team will pony up a 1st rounder-- he11 no, but a 2nd rounder isn't out of reach if Namestnikov has a solid season. Just look at what Ottawa got for Dzingel who produced on an expanded role in Ottawa after they tanked the last two years, back to back 56 point seasons (they got two 2nds and Duclair). Maybe swap lines one and two and it's more realistic. I think Kreider, Namestnikov, Strome and Fast are gone at the deadline anyway.

Post deadline lines:

Panarin-Zibanejad-(Buchnevich/Kakko/Kravtsov)
(Buch/Kakko/Kravtsov)-Chytil-Buch/Kakko
Lemieux-Andersson-TBD
Nieves-Howden-TBD

For Kreider, I can see a return of various picks (meaning different rounds, not multiple) and Puljujarvi or Tolvanen or another decent prospect that can fill a 3rd line role right now with potential for more.
For Strome/Namestnikov/Fast I can see a return of picks varying from 2nd round through 4th round depending on the season they are having.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Quinn has stated he sees Zibanejad with Panarin on top line, check the end of this article

I understand your desire to improve Vlad’s trade value but I don’t think he will be here come opening night and playing with Buch and Panarin, for as good as they are is not the same as playing with Stamkos and Kucherov, especially with Vlad playing at center with more defensive responsibilities.

Trust me when I say i've read every article. I'm just saying that this is what i would do, and no i don't expect vlad to replicate stamkos/kuch production, just to make his value where we can get an asset back.
It's also stated by DQ that he sees Kakko next to Zibanejad, I'm just thinking to spread out the talent a bit so they aren't as one dimensional-- they definitely should be on the same PP so NYR can try and replicate the better powerplays in the league. I think Kakko and Kreider could work well on the same line which is why i made it the way i did.
