Maybe throw Boucher into the trade for a late round pick or something if the Rangers still like him. He's done, and is a bust, but the Rangers loved him at one point.
That helps both teams politically. Ottawa washes their hands of the Boucher pick, their fans can feel like they got value for him because they don't know it was Boucher for a 4th rounder. They think it was Boucher+Pinto for Lafreniere+4th rounder. As far as the Rangers go, their fans don't have to know it was Boucher for the 4th, they can present it like they got two top young pieces for Lafreniere and it wasn't just Lafreniere for Pinto 1 for 1.
