WOW! Do you feel ok? Are you sure you're a Ranger's fan? Most Ranger's fans posts include a minimum three trades involve 6 players, multiple draft pick and 5 UFA signings. Any ways I agree let things settle before making a bunch of moves.
it's really just a couple ideas:
1) moving Trouba so that you can sign Fox and Igor and Buch and Deangelo long term
2) moving Strome so that you can finally properly develop Chytil in the top 6
3) filling the hole at 3C.
it just so happens that when you move good pieces you end up getting a lot of stuff coming in return.
This team fails in a lot of ways: 1) blocks Chytil from the top 6. 2) keeps Howden at C where he's struggled 3) Keeps Kravtsov in the AHL where he doesn't deserve to be 4) Keeps Staal and Smith in the lineup, essentially ensuring this team will be a bottom 10 defensive team again 5) Doesn't address the Lundqvist situation at all. 6) Puts Deangelo on the 3rd pair which just sounds ridiculous to type lol. 7) absolutely butchers Deangelo's contract (6 mil will get you a 6 year term for Deangelo)
Any 1 of these would be pretty poor, All together and this is a pretty abysmal effort. There's a difference between being conservative, and actively hurting your team by not doing anything.
