<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheDime99</b></div><div>I really think it would he easier for the team to trade Kreider to open up more spots because I don't think Lafrenière is gonna be on the third line for the whole season and even if you move him to right wing who are you moving down Buch or Kakko</div></div>

I doubt any team would take him at full salary. The Rangers fell into the same trap they always do. Over pay for a fading player that won’t fit into the grand scheme of things down the road. 7 year contract is a joke. Yes sure we didn’t know we would get this pick but now we’re stuck with an aging PWF who is really only a 2nd liner and is the least talented winger in the top 9 but we’re paying him top dollar. Buch is probably going to be the one they move and he will shine elsewhere because of short sighted and moronic contracts

Thread: End of an Era and its OK
Strome has proven to play well with Panarin, it might be the Panarin effect but nevertheless you don’t mess up a good thing. Also at 5 million he’s easily moved. Even if he scores 60 points in a season that’s well worth 5 million. He’s responsible defensively and can play wing as well. Smith I agree but our LD in the AHL might not be ready, what you can do is bring Rykov up and play Smith at FWD on 4th line or scratch him and try Rykov. It would be stupid for the Rangers to acquire a D man right now unless it was in a trade for a 1 year player but I doubt teams are going to be giving up quality cheap talent with the cap remaining the same. Smith is home after next year, could buy him out but really no need to do so. He didn’t play terrible this year and was effective on 4th line FWD. Plus he hits and is fast, we don’t have much of that and we need some board banging guys.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gman10z</b></div><div>Why take on 3 years of $$$ (Bonino @ $4.1) as a rebuilding team targeting FA next year?</div></div>

It gives Rangers options and more picks, taking on Boninos bloated contract allows rangers to get more picks thus the 2nd round the following year. Also, Bonino is a solid bottom 3 player he is just overpaid. With Zucc gone there will have to some sort of leadership in the room and it won’t kill you to slot him on the wing or center as he can play anywhere. Maybe add a 4th rounder too to take on the contract but Zucc, even though we think he’s amazing, he doesn’t score and is only going to get you a low low 1st unless a team is desperate. Also, it’s only 2 years of bonino not 3 since this is the deadline next season. Also he could be traded with salary retention to a contender in need of depth the following year.
