<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slater417</b></div><div>And heres the problem. I dont think its the panarin mika and kreider that will cause us to win a championship. Those three have done the bulk of the offensive lifting since 2019, and we've gone 2 rounds total in the playoffs.
Depth scoring is beyond valuable in the playoffs, and the depth i speak of hasn't done anything when its counted?? Are you kidding? in 22 when the kids were absolutely monsters in the playoffs and our best line, we won games.</div></div>

I highly doubt we have a better chance winning a cup with Chytil Laf and Kakko than with Panarin, Mika and Kreider at the forefront. That’s not even wishful thinking that’s just foolish. What happens when Lindgren, Miller and Shesty need to get paid, the depth is gonna get worse. Unless we get some Tage Thompson esque breakouts I just can’t see it, but I admire your optimism.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR_Biggest_Fan</b></div><div>Why would you trade a younger Trouba(Schneider)?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>crimsonchin23</b></div><div>Kakko has been meh so whatever on that front. But I think Chytil is fantastic when healthy, and you're forgetting about Schneider and the two firsts which is the majority of the value in this deal.</div></div>

There’s no guarantee Schneider actually will become Trouba. Plus you can’t actually believe it’d be smart to trade Trouba in the next year or so while he’s the captain and in the prime of his career. And Stamkos is far superior than Kakko and Chytil in our window to win.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brolekb2b</b></div><div>Though Stamkos is more than likely not going to waive his NMC, and TB might not be sellers like everyone thinks they will be, this might be the best offer I've seen thrown for him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jakdonaghy</b></div><div>Great trade here potentially for both parties. Wonder if Sharks gave another team a 4th or 5th rounder that they would do the retention for SJ so they could have one slot remaining for another deal?</div></div>

Thanks for the comments. I’m a big fan of both teams and I really like it from both sides. Might be just what the Rangers need to get over the hump with another top 6 option who can play all 3 positions. Tampa can restock with some younger guys as well, banking some on potential, but still decent value and it doesn’t gut the Rangers system. Appreciate the discussion.
