Thread: Realistic 22 NYR Patience
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Andersson is well on his way to becoming the next Sean Avery. Detroit says no thanks to Andersson. Hájek is a good defender with very little offensive up side. If you look at Detroit's defense is the only defenseman with an offensive upside is Hronek. Since Detroit is still rebuilding why would they give up 2 picks for 2 players that are taking long to develop than the team originally expected. I would probably trade these pick for Georgiev since he has already proved he can play in the NHL.</div></div>

Fair point on not wanting to trade the picks for the players if you think they're not developing quickly enough (mostly true), however, care to give me your analysis on how Andersson = Avery? That is like saying Zadina = Bryzgalov. There is literally nothing similar between the two players..

Thread: Someone has to go - it just doesnt work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>-Trouba wasn't specifically trying to go to NYC as much as it was getting out of middle of **** nowhere Canada since his wife is trying to be a Dr. in the US. He's tradable anywhere in the US and the Rangers specifically have a history of dealing players before their NMC/NTC kicks in. There is a *reason* they started the NMC after this year. It was their way to opt out of this contract in case Deangelo/Fox made big strides. They did.

-Smith can be stashed in the minors

-Hank has been in talks with FO since before the trade deadline about his openness to a trade and where he'd want to go. It's on the table and he has a lot of value.

-Strome should undoubtedly be dealt. And when Chytil was with Kreider for the month Mika was out, he was 1st or 2nd on the team in pts/60, shots/60, and pretty much every on-ice metric. He's ready for a 2C if necessary.

That's all the Rangers need to do, not complicated. Deal Trouba, Deal Strome, Move Smith to the minors, Play the kids. That's really it.</div></div>

We sit on these forums and say "...not complicated", but it really is. Any Trouba trade will be a big deal/complicated. Strome would be a newsworthy trade, and moving Smith to the minors doesn't really accomplish much because you use 80% of your savings on his replacement at ELC value anyway.

That being said, I tried sticking to your trade Trouba mantra + all the people trading DeAngelo for Hanifin, and decided to play off that: <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/322989">https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/322989</a>
Includes your insider knowledge???? on Henrik's outlook but instead has him retiring.
And gets rid of Strome as well in one swoop.
