Why are we making this trade with Vegas? Reeves didnt play a single game in the playoffs and is, essentially, a role/throw in player in the lineup. Plus were retaining money on Strome? why? What do we need their 1st round pick in a very weak draft?

Were still soft down the middle. Bottom 6 outside of Reeves is soft. We've replaced Buch who was scoring at a near ppg pace for Blake Coleman.

Detroit already have 6 very good LD prospects, what we need is veteran help until they mature, not more prospects.

Wings pass, not worth a 3rd at All

We need a Veteran LD and some grit on the 4th line.
We get a 1st for Strome who we don't need long term(IMO) and that blocks our younger Centers. We're retaining on Strome because we have a lot of cap space this year and Vegas doesn't. It's also only one year.
I expect at least one of Chytil or Vilardi to take a step forward.

We save cap by dealing Buch and replacing him with Coleman.
We need a ton of cap in the future to resign Fox, Zbad, Kakko, Laf, Miller, Lundkvist etc.

Ok, I was just throwing it out there. I thought maybe Yzerman would like his former 2nd round pick back for a late 3rd. I think he still got some potential but we have no room for him.

I like Buch but I’m not trading Vilardi for him

So youre gonna trade Buch over 1m? Not worth it.
Strome isnt worth a 1st round pick, lets just get that straight.
Sure we need grit, but why would Vegas trade their grittiest LD on a friendly contract? Theres no incentive for them to do this.
We need grit, but Reeves isnt the answer. Why trade for someone who didnt play a single game in the playoffs?
Im not even bother with Chytil because people have been brainwashed to believe that hes some how a center.

Uh, Reaves played 12 of Vegas' 19 games and was suspended for 2 of them. I'm not commenting on the trade, but hey you should at least know your facts before you write stuff.

Thats my fault, should have fact checked. Its what I was told when I mentioned it to other Rangers people. Either way, if Gallant want's a squad thats always moving their feet, hes probably not the best option to have out there.

Rangers accept the Detroit deal.

And decline the rest pretty easily.

Ok. You write the same thing in every thread without saying anything constructive.

We save closer to 2m and we replace him for free while trading a strength for a need.
Strome @ 50% is worth a late 1st imo.

What would you prefer? A breakdown about how you're criminally undervaluing Buch + Strome. I don't think it's worth the time if you're that far off in terms of value.
