Rangers decline.

why on earth would the leafs want Myers at all, let alone for a great prospect +?

Its gonna be a hard no on Myers for Niemela..

Drury says KEEP DREAMING Canuck fans

Only Schneider has any real value in that deal. Kravtsov is a bust & the late 1st nothing special. Rag homers aka the same few rather waste prime years of their vets. Why is that who knows good thing they’re not Drury other than those who speak for him.

Don't wanna give something real the Rags won’t get something good in return.

Kind of like stubborn Canuck homers stuck on one player that isn't available. Why are they stuck on ONE player? Maybe for the same reason the Rangers aren't going to trade him, he is the real deal. Keep dreaming about acquiring him and crying when Ranger fans tell you the obvious.

Rangers already have two top RD making combined 17.5 mill for the next 4 years. They can afford to trade Shneider and the first round, and losing Kravtsov is basically nothing for them. Adding Miller stacks up their top 6 and centre depth for a long playoff run this year and next. I see this as a win for both teams.

I just want to know how you know so definitively that Kravtsov is a bust? He never got a fair shake in the NHL, and had quite a good year in the KHL.

No, the Rangers cant afford to trade Schneider. Once Trouba's contract is up, Schneider is stepping into that role.

Cause Myers is decent and their RD is awful right now. Adding Myers at 3 mill if they can make it work with their cap is good while their playoff window is open.

What you see is short sighted. The Rangers are more than JT Miller away from being a serious cup contender this season. They are young and improving but not a serious threat to teams like TB or Florida or Carolina in a playoff series. With that in mind, trading a young stud RD for JT Miller makes no sense. Schneider is cost controlled, which the Rangers need big time in the next three years and he will be Trouba's replacement when his NMC burns off. Even Trouba knows that. The smart thing for the Rangers is to keep him and have a very solid young D corp moving forward for the next 3 seasons, when they will have a much better shot at winning a cup. That is why Schneider is not available. If the Canucks, or any team, can't live with Lundqvist as a trade piece, then they can look elsewhere for a trade.

Well they have Lundkvist and Schneider, so one of them can fill in for Trouba as a top 4 D and the other gives good value in a trade to upgrade on the forwards. If they have Miller the next two years, then his contract is up when they have to sign Lafreniere and K'Andre, so they could be a cup contender for multiple years. They are in the playoffs this year, but not necessarily a cup contender, and I bet their chances increase with Miller in the top 6.

The one of them that will fill in for Trouba will be Schneider because Schneider plays like Trouba.

Sure Miller is an excellent player and would solidify the top 6 however... first and foremost, VAN needs to retain cash on him. He may be good, but Im not willing to walk away from Strome. Furthermore, the Rangers have glaring holes in their 3rd line which I would say is a huge reason why theyre struggling 5v5. Until they fix that and a 3LHD, theres no reason for them to make this move.

Myers is worse than every RD they have. yes, every one of them
also no, the leafs rd is not awful right now

I don't know if he's a bust or not, but he's not going to play for the Rangers if he's riding the pine most of the time. So might as well use him in a trade.
Miller has one less point than Zibanejad this season. I think his value is worth Schneider, or at least Lundkvist, Kravtsov and a 1st. Or Shneider and Kravtsov and a lower pick.

Steve Dangle would say otherwise.

Any Rangers fan here would be happy to do Nils, Kravtosv and a 1st for Miller. However the retention is a huge caveat and I highly doubt VAN wants to or will retain any money, therefore putting us out of it.

You seriously believe the Rangers wouldn’t want Miller because they are worried about losing Strome?? Miller is far and above the player Strome is and is only $1 mill more. What would be your counter trade for Miller?

no, he would yell otherwise. he'd still be wrong though

You cant win playoff games without a 3rd line. They need to complete the team before they start making bigger moves. I just posted above what Id trade.

no from leafs

What is your suggestion to improve the leafs RD?

they dont need to give up their best d prospect. schenn is a more realistic trade target first of all, for the bottom pair, leafs could send a 2nd or a third. also could go after a guy like braun or even risto for less than what you offered up for myers. i have no doubt that myers is a good player, but that trade is still lopsided in the canucks favor

As much as I'd like to see the Canucks get Schneider, I don't think Drury is moving him in any circumstance.

The deal on the table, I believe, is Kravtsov, Chytyl and a 2022 1st.

I don't think a team takes on Myers right now and honestly if there's no decent trade to be made, Van is better off with him in the lineup.

Myers could get dealt in the off-season potentially. The minimum offer that gets the Canucks listening to the Rangers for Miller is Kravtsov, Chytil, Lundkvist, and Jones/Skinner/1st
