If i was the Rangers i wouldn't do any of these trades. Also, i don't see Smith getting 4mil.

I think Nash is underrated, as i think he might just need a new team. Holden is coming off a great season. I think Klein is a top 4 defenseman so i think they cold get more than moving up one round in the draft. And Vatanen is good but i, myself, think that's a lot to give up for him.

Klein is not a top 4 d man. Nash is one of the most over rated players I think this is a good team in my opinion !

Plus we do need a replacement overall good team

you have clearly never watched a rangers game

Klein is definitely not a top 4 d man. In order to fix this defense, someone on the forwards has to go. Nash is what he is at this point. It's time to bring in some youth on defense. Forwards was not the problem this year.

After watching the playoffs and the regular season, it is just unfortunately very apparent that Stepan isn't a top line C. He has to go if its possible, before his 4 year NMC kicks in. Nash truthfully has never played in his career with a legitimate top line player of his caliber. Kreider is a 2nd line player, Zucc is a 2/3 liner, Zibanejad was injured last year etc. unfortunately the Rangers need to do too much before they win a cup. Maybe Oshie is that guy that can be enough to add on offense? If Nash does get traded, the return has to be well worth it. If not than keep him and they're not in a great spot come deadline, move him.
