I'd like to get a little more in trade for Chytil and Georgiev, but I would settle for a team like Arizona (or Ottawa or another team) to include Nemeth in the deal. I have a feeling in order for the Rangers to trade Nemeth, the Rangers would have to include a draft pick for another team to take him off the roster - maybe giving a 4th or 5th round pick instead of receiving a 6th. So I suppose I'd be happy with the return in the Chytil / Georgiev deal, if Nemeth's $2.5 mil contract is also taken off the books in the deal.
I'd like to sign Kakko for 5 years for around 3.5 mil, but cap room will be tight and the contract you suggest of 2.5 mil for 3 years might be the only way that Drury can go. Would love to sign Strome for 5 years at $5 mil, but I believe the contract will be closer to $6 mil over 5 years. But I agree with your future direction of the Rangers.
