None of the above lol. Like Hard Hard No on Stamkos, just way to injury prone. Kuzy and Monahan arent that big of upgrades on Strome. Eichel is the best possible addition but the price is all that matters.

Those are 4 wildly different options lol.

Eichel makes sense.

Monahan is a pray for a bounce back but possible.

Kuzy will be hard as WSH would want win now pieces back and I don't see these teams doing each other any favors.

Stammer is spent and doens't make a lot of sense for NYR at this point

I would start off by stating your thoughts on Strome and then maybe see what other options are out there. Maybe like Kadri or someone

The only center who makes sense for the Rangers to buy is Jack Eichel, but he's a pipe dream. Find free agents/trade partners to fix the 4th line and 3LD, give Filip Chytil the 3C.

You should acquire Eichel then retain half his salary and trade to the Caps for Kuzy one for one

No on all of those centers. I feel we should go out and get free agents like Derek Ryan, Luke Glendening, and/or Phillip Danault.

Eichel is just too unknown at this time
Stammer is a hard pass just due to the injuries and his cap
Monahan and Kuzy are an easy no. Not good anymore

I like the idea of danault but I’m pretty sure Montreal keeps him

I don’t mind strome he works well with panarin but he’s not great at face-offs and isn’t great defensively

My point is if you are moving on from him or not as that changes what you can do and how its done

Interesting thought exercise! As far as those four centers go, I'm not sold on any of them. If I had to pick one to target in a trade, it would likely be Eichel, but the return demanded by BUF will be far too high for it to be worth it (especially with some unknowns surrounding Eichel's health).

I think there are some options in FA this year. Some that come to mind are TOR forward Zach Hyman (not a center, but can play up and down the lineup) and NSH center Mikael Granlund (if SEA does not take on the contract of Matt Duchene, thereby freeing up cap space for NSH to resign him).

I personally like Ryan Strome playing with Panarin, so I wouldn't move him (yet). Keeping him then gives us a little center depth (Mika-Strome-Chytil), so we could instead target a Top-6 wing in FA or via trade, at least for the short term. Bear in mind, we do also need to keep Top-6 wing positions (and salary cap space) available for future seasons with the likes of Kakko, Lafreniere, and Kravtsov demanding more ice time and higher pay.

Update: Thinking about this a bit more, a couple trade options that might work (due to their success under Gerard Gallant with VGK) are forward Reilly Smith and defenseman Nate Schmidt. Smith can play down the middle (although he hasn't done so recently) and brings some proven goal scoring that has to be defended (taking away some resources from defending Panarin, Mika, and our young wingers). Schmidt was a solid two-way presence in Vegas, but has struggled in VAN and could use a fresh start. We may need to offload some salary to make either of these deals possible without backing ourselves into a corner for next off-season.

Yeah 100%. I don't know if they can afford to sign all of Armia Danault and Perry though. We'll see what happens
