Team: 2019-20 New York Rangers

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 1, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

As of now, I predict NYR only trade their sought-after UFAs - Kreider and Fast.

There are reportedly 8 teams interested in Kreider. Another report said NYR want "at least" the same return as the Kevin Hayes deal (a 1st, a fringe NHL player/NHL ready player, and a conditional pick). That should be seen by all as a CEILING, not a floor. I think because a quarter of the league is apparently interested, they could get close to that return. For now, I use STL as an example of the return I think they could get for Kreider. Other teams that I suspect are interested are PIT, CAR, BOS, TB, COL, CAL and EDM.

(*Note - I know some Blues fans do not think their team would want to give up the first, but I actually think given they should finish at the top of the west, the earliest the pick would be is #25 overall. Armstrong may pull the trigger given the pick should be late in the round. But maybe not; I am just making a prediction).

There are reportedly 7 teams interest in Jesper Fast. I think he could yield a couple of mid-round picks, as quite a few teams are looking for good defensive forward depth (maybe a team overpays and gives NYR a 2nd?). I use FLA as an example, but other teams include PIT, TB, COL, VAN, ARZ, and EDM.
