Thread: Hanifin to Rangers
When I put this together I factored in that both teams are tight on the cap and need to trade dollar for dollar. Kakko is trending the right direction and he fits with the Conroy philosophy, get younger and bigger. He's also considered a underachiever at this point, so he does have a probability of being traded. Scheider is from the prairies and would be GREAT depth and is still developing. Schneider also evens out the defence for defence part of the trade. Vesey is simply depth for the Flames and helps even out the cap issues both teams are dealing with. Hanifin answers a big hole the Rangers have right now as they are in a win now situation and gain 6 yrs experience on Schneider, with plenty runway left in his career. He can easily play with either Fox or Trouba, giving them a solid top 4 defence. Hanifin would also have absolutely no issues going to NY, close to home and going to a winning team. To bolster the trade the Flames could up the draft pick to a 3rd or even a 2nd, as long as the Rangers upped the 5th to a 4th round pick. The Rangers would be adding to the defence now, but thinning out their forwards a little. The other trade I posted was Vladar going to Arizona for Valimaki. That opens up the cap space and adds another quality young defence depth. That trade lets the Flames carry a 23 man roster, where they have to carry only 20 currently. Arizona would be basically getting Vladar for free, since they got Valimaki off of waivers.
