That’s an awful return for Panarin

I’m betting the reason for that is cause staple said he would be difficult to move

Detroit passes on both trades, No use for Georgiev and Kravtsov. And Chytil and Kakko haven't proven a thing to move Vrana for.

No

3 awful trades- Drury gets fired if he makes any one of these- let alone all 3.

I don't mind the first Detroit trade but Vrana isn't going any where.

Rangers decline all 3.

Detroit says ok. Chytil is a 2C. It is painful to give up Vrana, but Kakko is no bust. New team, New coach, less pressure, Kakko replaces the offense of Vrana and is a few years younger. Vrana is scoring at a ridiculous pace, but I don't see him as more than a 40 goal scorer. I hope I am wrong.

I'll confine my comments on the Panarin-Lee deal. Points to consider: 1. The Isles are getting long in the tooth and aren't getting it done. Perhaps a player like Artemi is just what the doctor ordered. If nothing else, if this trade were to happen. there would be a buzz in both camps. 2. I've been a Ranger fan for 65 years, and for those of us of a certain vintage, what follows will resonate. Back in the Blueshirts 93'-94' Cup winning season, they began it with career 700+ goal scorer Mike Gartner. Mike could score goals with the best of them, but lacked grit. Just prior to the trade deadline that year, the Rangers launched Mike out the torpedo tube and brought in guys like Glenn Anderson, Kevin Lowe to join Mark Messier-Adam Graves-Esa Tikkanen-Jeff Beukeboom (Oilers) with some of Coach Mike Keenan old favorites (Bleckhawks) like Steve Larmer-Greg Gilbert who were joined by former Blackhawks Brian Noonan and Stephane Matteau. The guys brought in scored perhaps one-third the goals of Mike Gartner, but they had grit. Those New York Oiler-Hawks as I like to call them; all became Stanley Cup Champions. That's the only Stanley cup the Rangers have won in my lifetime. Mike Gartner on the other hand never won a Stanley cup during his distinguished career. 3. So that's how I see Artemi Panarin - the 2022 version of the 1994 Mike Gartner. So what's in for each team. For the Isles it's pretty simple. Bring in a world class playmaker who can not only score a fair amount of goals, but perhaps is the best playmaker in the business. His plus-minus is as good as it gets. And Artemi will have plenty of quality players on the Isles to distribute the puck to. For the Rangers, they need to lose some of the awful salary cap hit that Jeff Gorton saddled the them with. Sweeten the pot by absorbing 1/4 of Artemi's salary, and in return acquire a first round draft pick to even things out. Anders brings the grit and half the scoring that Artemi does, but the Rangers get some room to bring in additional talent to close that gap. If this trade were to happen, as a hockey fan, I could not wait to see the first match between these teams. Buy the way, no NHL team has won the cup with $10M of more player on the roster. I think I would have as much anticipation for that as I did for Bob Probert-Tie Domi II at MSG back in the 90s. The buzz before the first puck drop what undeniable and the 80 punches thrown in 59 seconds (they had a "punch-o-meter" on the tube) demonstrate that this tilt lived up to it's billing. Bob had the edge most of the way, but Tie connected with a straight right that buckled Bob's knees before the refs stepped in. Ah, the good old days. That's all folks
