<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>Which do you think he's losing? Panarin, Goodrow, and Trocheck contracts are going to age terribly. Lindgren and Kakko are unfortunate casualties. But Marner, Mittelstadt, and Newhook would be good additions</div></div>

Let's go top to bottom here, shall we?
- Panarin at 50% brings back a 1st+top prospect, minimum. Over the last 4 years, he's 4th in the league in points. Panarin @50% + 1st &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Mittelstadt.
- Goodrow can be bought out for a pittance, and you have us trading Lindgren (a significantly better, not to mention younger, DMan than Middleton), to get rid of him, then adding picks on top
- You're giving up Kakko, a 1st, and a 2nd for a guy who can walk in a year, and will demand 10m+ in his next contract
- Newhook had every chance to earn a Top 6 spot in Colorado this year, and absolutely blew it. You're giving up the Rangers 2C for him. And retaining for 4 years.

In summary, every trade is a loss for the Rangers, and multiple are genuinely terrible.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gag1</b></div><div>"Rangers are not trading Laffy for a one year Lindholm rental, keep dreaming"....

I agree that the Rangers don't really need a Center. But Lindholm is a 1st Line Center. "Laffy" hasn't exactly killed it it and has fallen way below expectations so far, especially when it matters. 7 Playoff games with zeros across the board last year did not help in the 1st round against the Devils.

The trade does not work because the Rangers don't need a center / but not because "Laffy" is a premium asset.</div></div>

Rangers already have a better 1C with Zibanejad, and 2 guys at 2C level in Trocheck and Chytil. There is no need for Lindholm. And while Lafreniere had 0 in 7 the most recent playoffs, the entire team sucked. Panarin had a whole 2 points, none at 5v5. Lafreniere also had 10 points in 21 games the previous year in the playoffs, so...
