we won't need Krejci since we are playing like we have a guaranteed lottery pick (or bottom 10). Between Byfield, Lundell, Perfetti, Stutzle, Lapierre, one of them will be available at 10th overall since Lafreniere, Holtz, Raymond etc are projected top 5 picks.
Why spend a 1st for Krejci when we aren't contending for another 2 years (at which point he'll be 35/36) -- this is the old rangers way of thinking and it does not benefit anyone
edit: also, DeAngelo doesn't get that deal. He gets traded within the next two years. Trouba, Fox and Lundkvist will man the right side of the defense (purely cap reasons, Lundkvist will be 2-3m cheaper than DeAngelo and provide the same if not better performance)
