Ignoring whether it's realistic or not, the biggest issue becomes cap space down the road. In the next 2 years, the Rangers need to sign Fox, Shesterkin, Kakko, Zibanejad, Ekholm, and others to new deals with $38m tied up long term in Panarin, Trouba, Barzal, and Kreider. There's also whatever Lafraniere will eventually cost to keep in mind too, so even if the moves you suggest happened, the Rangers would likely end up in cap hell in a couple seasons.
