The price is down, but Buffalo will likely still get one more asset than what you have.

Edit: 99% likely no salary retention too.

Who are you thinking?

Kravtsov

Strome won’t sign with them so move him elsewhere for picks and/or prospects that Buffalo would want take out chytil and probably add georgiev

Yeah I think that's a bit too much for a player that may be getting a surgery no other NHLer has had before on a team with very little leverage. I can see like a Morgan Barron or another pick.

I think it’ll be a three way trade with Strome going to Ottawa and Buffalo also gaining a prospect from Ottawa

Kravtsov only goes if they are retaining IMO i think a trade like
Strome to x team for high round picks/ prospects that Buffalo would want
Stuff from team x
Buch rights and they can flip or keep
Jones
Robertson
Georgiev
1st
2nd

1) He's inserted for a) cap balance and b) yielding a future asset for Buffalo (e.g. via trade)
2) Buffalo will now have a lot of money to offer him...I would not say he definitively will not sign there.

The surgery concerns are overblown. It’s a surgery that would only keep him out a month worst-case scenario and it’s been done for athletes in other sports. I forgot to mention that by sending Kravtsov, the Rangers would probably also get someone like Rasmus Asplund to round out the empty bottom 6 depth

I highly doubt Buchnevich is going anywhere, which is why I’m putting Kravtsov next to Chytil.

So say we get eichel what are your lines looking like because kakko and laf need real chances to play top 6

Where did you hear the Strome to Ottawa? Is that an actual rumour?

Lafreniere - Eichel - Buchnevich
Panarin - Zibanejad - Kakko
Kreider - Blackwell - Goodrow
Barron - Rooney - Asplund

Yes. Andy Strickland reported it

I really hope it’s just a 2nd and a prospect . I’d rather they go after Kadri or Domi tbh

Assuming the return went to Buffalo, that’s probably accurate. Otherwise I think it’d be a little less if the return went to New York

Let’s just hope that prospect isn’t Mika Zibanejad 😄

Idk I still feel like that could be a lot to give up

But I don’t see how that’s not worth it. Let’s be thankful that there’s now a less than 1% chance that Buffalo will land a Kaapo Kakko or a Trevor Zegras.

I went to Twitter and saw some Rangers fans being absurd. One guy said he wouldn’t do Strome for Norris 1 for 1. And another said I wouldn’t trade him for anything other than Tkachuk or Stutzle

Ah **** you found my twitter account!

Praise be 🙏



Yeah some rangers fans are crack heads

Kravstov is horrible. Rangers have zero good forward prospects so he won’t be a Ranger.

This makes no sense

Buffalo does have leverage. This is a trash offer

Lol drugs are bad
