why not just offer sheet him at 4.2 million? only giving up a second then.

Rangers will just trade Goodrow to match it then. Even if it takes a 1st to dump him.

That's not enough to gouge Drury's interest. Rangers have no reason to trade Laf so you're gonna have to give them one.

If I'm Drury I'm asking the trade to start with the better of your 2 firsts (as a condition to a 1st round pick) + Pinto.

PINTO - .21 goals / .43 points per game played.
LAFRENIERE - .22 goals / .42 points per game played.
That's about as even it gets and Pinto is a pivot (which is always more valuable).
Zero chance OTT would add a 1st and, to be honest, unlikely they'd even do this trade 1-for-1.

Look at the Sens roster.....they are tight against the cap too. Just by your post 21 man, little cap and probably bonuses to pay. LAF could be offer sheeted by some one but shouldn't be the Sense.

Rangers say NOPE, and good luck with any nonsense offer sheet threat.

Yeah, just like how Miller was going to get an offer sheet. Good luck with that.

Ottawa's the one calling Drury in this scenario, a Sens fan is the one who proposed getting Laf in the first place, if they want Laf they're gonna have to overpay cause Rangers have no reason to trade him.
Also you're not trading for Laf for his point production, you're trading for him for his upside which is undoubtedly higher than Pinto. Using point totals isn't a good metric of value here.

A first would be in play but that's the best piece you'd get



They wouldn't. There's a reason why Pinto was not made available for Chychrun



You're right and that would probably means "end of discussion"

I would have traded DeBrincat for Lafreniere plus taking Goodrow contract but that ship has sank

And by the way, regarding, it's also not really about his point production too. He will develop into a great 2-way center

Your narrative works if you completely ignore all actual context behind the two players lol

By all means, show me the context that would make that trade reasonable.
