Honestly, it both teams play this as a "star-for-star" deal, this can go through without the youth. For the noisemakers saying "Panarin won't waive for them", have no clue what attracts. Options to play with McTavish or Carlsson and Terry or Strome, makes a difference to Panarin. Supported by Vatrano, Henrique and Perreault, plus Gibson and Dostal, pushes the Ducks through the defensively-light season. As the young defensemen develop, keeping a healthy, speedy team will maintain momentum towards the next season.
If the Rangers retain $2,642,857, leaving some room to add to Drysdale's potential contract, that'll smooth things on Anaheim's side. The remainder, while it mostly will go to Zegras, sets up the '25 season for positive cap movement. An extra season for the full NYR prospect development, allows the second tier of the NYR build to finish.
