Flyers can't eat $4 mil in cap just because.

Rangers would be stupid not to accept this gift.

I wouldn’t say Smith is just dead cap space. He’s a very useful player and only has 1 year left on his deal.

If the first became a second would it still get done?

I know that but it's still eating an extra $4 mil for a winger which we already have a ton of.

I dont think so as the Rangers would use this return in an Eichel trade so the first would be required. I look at it this way....Glass and the 1st is for Mika. Reeves and the 3rd is for the Rangers retaining salary.

Rangers wouldn’t touch that trade. Zero point in trading away Mika without getting a 1C back

This is hilariously bad for the Rangers (unless they get Eichel first) even then....... a team probably offers more for Zibanejad with money retained

Rangers could probably get a better return, especially with retention.

Would have to upgrade Glass to Krebs, at least.

and Eichel would have to be here at a reasonable cost.

I personally have no interest in Eichel. The Cap hit and required assets are troublesome enough. But add the neck injury to that? I'll pass.
