Drury laughs and hangs up. Not trading Laffy, and certainly not for a Kane rental. A better trade is Kane to the Devils for Mercer, Bovquist, Holtz and a 1st round pick.

NJ doesn't want him. Not for the price after Fitz spent so long building the future not in need of a SC this year. NY has famously overpaid at the TDL and i think Kane extends so it won't be as a rental.
Drury still has a 1st in a loaded draft. Most sources are saying its a likely package.

And what cap space would the Rangers use to extend Kane? Is he willing to sign at the league min? He is a pure rental to the Rangers and no chance he gets Laffy or anything near that value. He would like NJ better anyway.

Regardless of the fact that I don't think Lafreniere is getting traded, he's absolutely not getting traded for a rental.

Even if he never completely turns things around, he still has more long term value on a low Bridge deal. More so than being dealt for 1 Playoff run of a now injury hampered Kane, who wasn't exactly playing at his elite level, anyway.

Something decent with more than a year of control would have to be coming back.

We give you Samuel Blais and 2nd, if you don't like that is okay by us
