Sean Monahan - perhaps, but not for a 2nd rounder. I don't think MTL would have any interest.
The Duke - no interest. The Duke's numbers are on the decline over the last two season's. I get the motivation to launch Barclay and his contract, I do! For the record, his contract makes him difficult to move.
Barclay is still solid at the dot and has the most flexibility as to where he plays in the lineup. I have no alternative at this time, but in my view the Duke is a no.
Noah Hannifan - The Rangers don't need D-men. Chytil will be the one who will be offered by the Rangers. He is not a center and can't win faceoffs. He is a 3rd line C on the Rangers, and an expensive one. His concussion issues make him expendable as well.
If I were the Drury, I would package Chytil and Kakko (diito re: durability) with appropriate sweeteners as necessary in exchange for a strong RW. It's my next project to identify who the RW might be.
