Either the Montreal or Ottawa trade would be great. But I wonder if they are in the position to consider Igor right now. Probably Ottawa moreso than MTL since MTL is in a full fledged rebuild and still drafting their future, while Ottawa was supposed to start being a playoff team already this year. Maybe the Leafs or Oilers would be a good fit (Minten or Knies in particular could be huge for adding to the Youth Core).
The Rangers need to look out though, because I get the sense that Igor is no Hank in terms of the connection to NYC and passion about being a Ranger. So if he's going to seek out the biggest payday, which NY might not be able to give him, those conversations should be taking place NOW, and we can move him
