rangers pass

Idk about that

lindell is a slightly better version of lindgren and the rangers need strome much more than lindell

No room for Lindell on our roster really. Would rather Bourque.

Mavrik?

That Heiskanen contract is wild. Should he really be the highest paid defenseman in the NHL? and for only 5 seasons?? I am a big Heiskanen fan, but this is a big overpay. If you want 5 years, $6.5-7m makes a lot more sense to me.

I see Heiskanen signing a similar deal than Barzal. He will want to wait until the Cap goes up again.

I am also unsure if he wants to be in Dallas long term. The way we play and the role he has, does not give him the opportunity to unleash his offensive talents.

At 5 on 5, he is playing tons of minutes with our garbage line of Faksa-Comeau-Cogliano. Not a lot of offensive opportunities playing with those offensive black hole.

No way. He is the only Québécois in our system.

This right here is such an overlooked issue with the current roster and system. His ice time is decimated by FCC, PP2, and Oleksiak always wanting to pinch and push leaving Miro to fall back. It is almost criminal the ways in which he is utilized. I hate to say it, but if things stay the course I would almost rather Klingberg leave to force the hand of making Heiskanen "the guy." Regardless, I hope his agent tells them to kick rocks when negotiating.

Heiskanen will get a 5 year deal anywhere from 9 - 10 mil. Market value says he will given his minutes, his production, his usage. Not to mention inflation. It's a 5 year deal because that gets him to 27 and he's still a RFA. Meaning you can then sign him to an 8 year deal to get him to 35. It's all about keeping his rights with Dallas and not letting him go UFA. He has no leverage right now so the 5 year deal is pretty much going to happen. He and his agent will take what they can get and likely will be a hefty pay day. He also doesn't have arbitration yet but if Dallas wants to see him become the defender they think he will be in 2 - 3 years you offer him more money. hence my 5 year 9.5 mil deal. He likely gets 8 years and 11 mil after that. So that's 13 years at 10.5 mil. The cap will rise eventually and he's the player to build this team on.

Lindell is actually a very good defensive defenseman. I'd say he's quite a bit better than Lindgren. He's not worth 5.8 mil given his lack of offense though. That being said, he's young and will hold down a 1/2 pair for another 5 years or so. I can't argue with the Rangers need Strome more than Lindell. I simply like this trade cause it helps both teams given the Rangers need defense and the Stars need a scoring winger. Strome is the only player without a NTC/NMC. Rangers also have younger forwards like Kaapo and Lafreniere to fill his spot. Stars also have Harley to slide into Lindells spot. It works for both. That being said I can't speak for the Rangers needs as well as I can speak for what the Stars need.

Yeah 5 years would make him a UFA. Already has 3 accrued seasons.
