Where did you see that they were in discussions with the Rangers?

I have seen a couple things on Twitter and a few comments on here. None speculate anything just that they are talking.

They would be good partners if they could make the money work. Only problem I see with a lot of deals is everyone wants to give us Jankowski. We have enough bottom six forwards and I thought the flames loved the guy? Kreider would be great for their top 6 if gaudreau or tkachuk can play the right wing

The teams you are correct on, but only a couple of the players are the subject of a potential trade: Strome and Brodie.

It actually happens to be a potential three-way deal involving these teams. Allow me to swap Kreider for Namestnikov in this case, for starters; Brodie and Jankowski are potential pieces going from Calgary, while Los Angeles could put Toffoli into this deal.

There are a few ways this can swing--Calgary has been stockpiling defensive prospects and need a spot or two on the point for them to crack the lineup.

Los Angeles could use more prospects to build from--and with nearly $10 million in cap space, and a lone RFA to sign (Kempe, who likely signs a similar deal to Kapanen), they can add via trade.

The Rangers do intend to shed payroll, open a roster spot for a young player or two, and get back a player who points them squarely at a playoff run while "building".

Hmm...how does adding Brodie save the NYR cap space? Doesn't he make 4+ million? Not a huge savings even if Kreider is around 5+ million.

No benefit for the Kings in the trade, pass

Did you look at the entire trade..? It saves them about a million and a half..

I did and thought a million and a half is probably not enough. A question for NYR fans: wouldn't they want to be 3-5 million under the cap if you you gotta live life without the likes of Kreider and Namestnikov?
