He's not a guy that you bring in to complement a pre-existing contending core, he's a guy you add to a core because you need a high end C to contend and think he's your guy.</div></div>
Nothing to do with how "good" the return was for McD...what I'm saying is that TBL would have had to fork over less if they waited until that upcoming summer...and the 1st round pick + which NJ and SJ got from TBL at that TDL- that return would have been less over that summer.
My reasoning here has nothing to do with negativity towards Miller because he's an ex Ranger. He is a real good player. His career has taken off since he left NY (and TB)...and he is about to become insanely rich for his efforts- and well deserved! My comments are 100% from a standpoint of what I think a typical market will bare. VAN should receive a big return if they move him...but in a usual market (all it does take is 1 team to really change this) the best return would have been at this past TDL
Hey...we're obviously not seeing eye to eye here- nothing wrong with that.

In May 2022 I certainly acknowledge that TBL won the trade which happened several years back...what I'm saying is that NYR would have received less for McD if they waited till that ensuing summer. And both the Devils and Sharks both would have received less than the 1st rounder +, which they both received if they waited till the summer to move those guys. And I'm not sure who you keep referring to regarding the "small cap hit" quote...when McD was moved his Cap hit was around 5M...don't remember if there was any Cap maneuvering to fit him into TBL...but there are always options- not just in the summer.

If what you're saying is true, then why wouldn't NYR waited until the summer to trade Ryan McDonagh? And why would San Jose trade Goodrow at TDL rather than over the summer? And the same with the Devils trading Coleman to Tampa? The answer is simple: because Tampa saw these players as needed for their ensuing playoff push -and beyond- they were willing to pay a premium for each of these guys...a premium which (even with more teams looking to add players over the summer) would not have been needed-thus better for the selling team to do so at TDL. Of course history shows that Tampa absolutely raped NYR with the McD deal- but that's not the point here.

If there's more interest in him- it's because the price came down due to the fact he has only 1 more year under contract. And most of the non playoff teams would only seal their own fate as a perennial also-ran...should they expend big time assets on a player- who at 30 YO will be looking for his big payday- probably at/near 9M per year, with a lot of term.

Big difference having Miller under contract for 2 playoff (potential) runs as opposed to 1 year.

Marner may be the guy they move...not sure how to value him at 8.3M for 3 more years....but this trade is just forking over way too many high end assets for 1 player- easy pass
As far as the COL trade- can't see them being a good trade partner for Trouba...but I'd think value wise- take Nemeth and Lehkonen out of this trade...make it Trouba w/ 1.5M retained for a 2023 1st and 3rd...might have better luck getting a 2022 1st than a 2023 1st.

Trades seem reasonable….if TOR not interested- there’s most likely several teams that would give that type offer for Georgiev….probably need 200-500K more for Copp- can find around 240k by not extending Rooney- use Brodzinski at 4c instead and forget the Hunt trade- keep him as extra F.

Along with 5x5 offense- getting pinned in their own end is another thing they've dealt with all year....when I say they've played well- I've seen "growing up" of LaF, Chytl, Kakko, and Miller. Lindgren is showing lots of heart. Trouba has been effective. In spurts Mika and Kreider have been real good. But let's face it: for this team to advance, the current "formula" requires Shesty to play out of this world. I'm not giving up yet on this team, but as long as they keep things close with CAR- winning a round and keeping things close with a legit Cup contender is a great experience for this group...definitely a different feeling than when they got annihilated by CAR 2 years ago!

Shake Up The Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HOCKEYBOY448</b></div><div>Yeah that first game was one they needed. They’ve been terrible since the 3rd period of game one. As optimistic as I’d like to be, they need the top guys to step up big time. They can’t expect to win if they generate little to no offense. Of all the teams in the playoffs this year and I’ve seen games from all across the league, they’ve gotta be the worst team at generating offense 5 on 5 (maybe second worse with Dallas). I don’t think McDavid could save them with how mediocre they’ve been 5 on 5 and he’s on legit god mode this playoffs.</div></div>
5 X 5 offense has been an issue all year, and will have to be addressed in the off season. But for now- maybe they get a little O generation if they replace Braun w/ Zac Jones? Or maybe go 11F/ 7D...sitting Reaves?? Without the spark he can contribute (which he hasn't so far) their forwards are essentially a man down with Reaves in the lineup.
But as far as their play is concerned- I think they've played pretty well...much better than they played against PIT. For sure CAR is the better team (I think we all knew that coming into the series)...but NYR seem to be playing much better in front of their net, and losing (2) 1 goal games, the difference has been that they have not taken advantage of the chances they've had. If Kakko hits the open net - they most likely win game 1...and if Strome shoots puck through ADA- last night's game would have a much different feel to it. The only negative I'd dwell on is Panarin's play...unless he wakes up, Drury (of course his hands are tied) might need to rethink about what this team is paying 11 M per for.

Agree here…funny thing is though- when Fox was 21 (Nils age now)…Nils was seen as having a higher ceiling than Fox. Of course lots has changed since then! Point is that prospects’ development can go through big swings up and down. I wouldn’t give up on Nils- but yeah- does need a place to play.

Not true what you’re saying…absolutely did not fall out of favor with NYR…to be fair- had some struggles to start last year- but keep in mind the adjustment coming from Sweden to North America….and the fact he was partner with Nemeth (who, BTW no Dman has had good numbers with).
Nils didn’t fight going to Hartford and finished strong there. This kid still projects as a top 4 Dman and should have a bright future. His biggest problem is the NYR depth chart…but he’s developing nicely and unless NYR are offered a no brainer type deal- they are best waiting him out….gotta be patient with prospects- especially those who could be studs.

Keeping The Team
Copp will have no shortage of teams willing to offer 5M +. My guess is he gets extended at 5.25 - 5.5 M, depending on a term between 5 and 6 years. If NYR are “lucky” maybe he’s willing to sign a short term deal for 4.25 - 4.5M…betting on himself with an expected jump in CAP 2024 due to TV deal. Probably wishful thinking, though- he’ll take the guaranteed longer term payday.
Motte- can see signing a 3-4 year deal around 2M per….don’t think much will be left for Vatrano

(2) 1st round picks...a real good C prospect (whose stock has jumped since being drafted- to the point where he may nearly be one of NYR's untouchables)...Nils- who everyone loves to devalue- yet still projects as a top 4 Dman, and right handed PP QB. He did have to make the adjustment to North America...his biggest issue is his spot on the depth chart- yet ironically, he's probably better defensively than Trouba and Schneider RIGHT NOW- and will only get better.
In return NYR get a player (who by many accounts) is the epicenter of a lot which really went wrong in Winnipeg last year? And then on top of that- because making this move they have to move on from Copp- who in addition to being a great fit with NYR- also cost 3 valuable assets?

Hopeful offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Masonh618</b></div><div>Highly doubt Philadelphia would do it, but I could see someone else at the cap floor could say yes.
The Rangers are far more likely to keep Ryan Reaves than to re-sign Frank Vatrano in my eyes -- especially if the plan is to maroon Vatrano down to the third line and separate him from Kreider and Zibanejad.
Kakko will get money in between Chytil and Lindgren
Copp will make $5.5-6M unless you give him an 8 year deal (a la Ryan Nugent-Hopkins)
Blais presumably gets the money from his RFA tender ($1.6M) and Motte will get a similar salary to that.
On the other hand, I could actually see your scenario for Brennan Othmann play out like that, but I believe the maximum games you can play before your contract slides is 10, not 35. As a result, he'd have to go back to the OHL if he doesn't pass the audition.</div></div>
Othmann going to be a tough decision unless he shows in camp he's ready for the huge jump from juniors to NHL. Reality is AHL is probably the best for his development- but 19 YOs can't play in AHL...and he turns 20 in January. And unless they intend to keep him on NYR, his ELC sliding 1 more year could prove significant to their CAP management- but that would mean him playing max 9 games with NYR before being sent back to junior or down to AHL. So I guess it's a matter of what's beneficial to him: back to juniors so he plays heavy minutes start to finish? or stick with the team- probably play a minimal role in 9 spaced out games- all while practicing with the team...then to AHL in January to finish season there with a heavy workload that point and forward.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CapsJets</b></div><div>Interesting swap of Eller and Kravstov. I know Caps fans like myself are ready to ship Eller away for next to nothing, so how com Rangers fans are so down on Kravtsov? He's still very young.
Also, the move with the Jets is very interesting, but I still wonder if that gets it done for the Rangers. As a Jets fan, maybe I'm slightly bias and over value Schiefele a bit, but I wonder if the Jets even listen to offers that don't start with "Lafreniere"</div></div>
Kravtsov made his own bed...twice he has taken his ball and gone home after being left off the roster out of camp. To be fair- he did have SOME reason to be pissed...one year he was odd man out while B. Smith was kept as a hybrid wing/D...and the next time he was left off because they didn't want to waive Libor Hajek. But keep in mind- he got injured in camp last year following taking the NYR training staff to task (during 20/21 exit interview) regarding off season training. If the kid went with the program, and then worked his a$$ off in Hartford- he'd probably be 1 or 2 RW right now!
It remains to be seen what happens from here. Word is he has plans to be in NY this summer to train...don't know if that's a sincere effort to get back with team or to "show" a little maturity so that he regains some value so that they can trade him by the draft. Drury does keep info close to the vest...and it appears at this point that he will not sell low on Krav. And not sure what the players think of him...if any venom towards him, I doubt he'll ever wear a NYR sweater. But if the players like him (or at least indifferent), I would give equal chances to 1) Playing with NYR next year 2) Starting year in Hartford (would really show a change of heart on his part) 3) Getting traded by the draft 4) Remaining property of NYR- but continue playing in Russia.

Of course they would have to make a move or two elsewhere (which they weren't planning to make)- but they would do what they have to do to keep Kakko if the compensation is a 1st, and 3rd (or less). Beyond 6.16 per, they would consider the compensation. You do have to realize, though that OS's are not common- even though there are very vulnerable teams every year.

NYR really don't have too much leverage here...if they offer QO, they may be on the hook for more than 1M more than they want to pay a b/u G next year...if they don't offer QO, he goes UFA. So depending what the market is for a 1A/1B type goalie- who is coming off a shaky year- NYR realistically stand to get less than anticipated a year ago.
