<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>campi95</b></div><div>I think quantity is a bit of an undersell. Kravstov is a highly touted prospect despite him not being in the NHL at the moment. A first is a given. The Nemeth and retention part is tricky if it required a 2nd to be added I’m all for it. I just don’t see the Rangers moving on from Schneider Kakko or Laf.

Barron could probably be added despite my fondness for his play.

I still think this is a workable deal, and with tinkering could be beneficial to both parties.</div></div>

Kakko and Laf are definitely off the table if I'm the Rangers. One of the reasons Canucks fans are locking onto Schneider is the Rangers depth on the right side. Fox and Trouba have the top 4 locked up so there isn't exactly a pathway for him. Also, hin and Hughes would be a very formidable pairing that we haven't seen in Vancouver since Edler/Bieksa in over 10 years. Personally, if there was no retention I'd do Miller for Schneider and a 2nd. I think that's how desperate the Canucks are for legitimate RD potential and depth.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>campi95</b></div><div>Not trying to say you think this…I was reading somewhere that Canucks fans think Laf is in the table for a trade. Is that true?

As to your point about Kakko and Schneider I would want them too. I don’t think the Rangers are going to part ways with them. If the deal was more workable with a player like Barron or Will Cuylle or a conditional 2nd round pick I think Drury will make that move.</div></div>

That rumor comes from the Canucks hiring his former agent Emilie Castonguay as assistant GM. It was more used as clickbait for articles, there was no actual evidence behind it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>Yeah, this would be a case of both teams declining. Anderson is looking like the flames go to guy of the future. I don't think he's in the elite tier but reminds me a bit of what Ekholm is now. I think Milller means too much for Vancouver, and certainly they wouldn't want to add another pick on top of it.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>Am I the only person that thinks this beyond a massive overpay by Vancouver?? Miller + a top 10 pick??</div></div>

Could definitely make it lottery protected, but this year's draft isn't deep, nor is there any semblance of a legit ranking past the top 10 so really, it's more of a crapshoot than most years. Plus Andersson is an absolute STUD with a STUD contract for 6 more years and he's Calgary's best defenseman so it would take a lot to pry him away.

Besides, even if the Canucks were lucky enough to come away with a pick high enough to take Power, Clarke, Hughes, or Edvinsson, who's to say they'll be better than Andersson?

Edit: Out of those 4, Clarke is the only RHD so Andersson fills a need that 3 of those guys do not.
