Team: 2020-21 New York Rangers

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 20, 2020

Published: Jul. 20, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

The Rangers core and prospects are already firmly in place.

If we trade anyone or anything (Strome/Georgiev/prospects/picks) we should be getting roster players back in places where we need to fill holes. We do not need a 1st for Strome or a 2nd+prospect for Georgiev, etc, etc...unless they come packaged with a roster player.

Terry is basically Jesper Fast but plays Center and is younger and way more cost controlled. Perfect 4th line center. + a 2nd next year (It will still be a top 35 pick) = appropriate value. I would prefer 2nd this year, but could see ANA laughing at that offer/request. (As for whether ANA thinks a player like Strome (top 6 C/W) fits/is needed on their team for the next 5 years, I cannot speak to).

Smith is cheaper (real money) than Anisimov, and OTT gets their 4th back for it.

I think Mangiapane is awesome. Perfect middle 6 winger. Solid offense, but very disciplined too. Can play all situations well. From NYR perspective, this is a fair 1:1 swap (I think some NYR fans will say it's an overpay, and some CGY fans will say it's lopsided for NYR, but I think it's pretty fair).

If you still have assets leftover that you don't think fit into the team long term, AND all your roster slots are figured out, then those assets can be traded for picks (Howden, Andersson, Rykov, etc).
