EV TOI/GP, centers on WSH:

Dylan Strome 14:39
Evgeny Kuznetsov 14:11
Connor McMichael 13:11
Nic Dowd 12:51

If you don't sort by GP, then Protas is 3rd, above Kuz and Dowd.

If you don't sort by even strength, Dowd is still 4th.

If you only sort by forwards, Dowd is 7th.

Who's next?</div></div>

From watching this last game ... still confident in your 3rd line 4th line ? This team is not winning a cup with the current roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>I like your take on Lindy. However, Hanifin ain't worth no 8M. That won't age well, either.</div></div>

Hanifin isn't worth 8mil. He is 27 and teams will sign him till he is 34. Not worth it and even if he is worth it Rangers do not have the money to sign him to 8 mil. Lindy is worth 5.5-6 for 5 years. You are paying more for Lindy because its a 5 year deal vs a longer deal. If they sign Lindy for longer than 5 years its a bad signing no matter the aav.

About Buch teams trade players a year before UFA to get max return. closer to the end of the contract less of a return they get. The greatest return the Blues get will be trading him in this years deadline. They don't want to retain salary as they need to add players this offseason.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aecliptic</b></div><div>With the expectation that they buyout Goodrow at the end of the year, they have far far more salary cap freedom than you think next year.

As far as Kakko's next contract. His QO is 2.31m, which I would be happy to give him for 1 year. Schneider, Id top out at 2x2. Lindgren, 4.5x5. Quick 1x1. Call up Othmann. Youve got over 10m in cap space to find a 3C/4C and a 3LD. More than enough to pull that off.</div></div>

His QO is 2.4 and has arbitration rights. And we wouldn't sign him for one year because then he's a UFA. Remember he signed his first contract at 18. Which is why we did not sign him to a 3 year deal he would be a ufa. Laf's next contract will be big. Lindy is going to get 5.5 - 6 mil. Schneider is at the 2X2. So Kakko is the odd man out as you won't have money to sign him for an extension because of his unknown outlook.
Kakko is valuable now as far as trade who knows what next year will bring.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aecliptic</b></div><div>Monahan is not a two-way player. Lindholm right now does not look particularly amazing in Vancouver, granted I was definitely on that train.

The Rangers just need a 3C for the third line. Henrique would more than exceed filling that role. Cuylle, Henrique, Kakko would be a solid 3rd line. Obviously with your Buch trade, thats not an option, however, I dont think Kakko and a 1st lands you Buch. Blues are in no rush to trade Buch, so as has been said the offer would have to blow them away.

However, lets play with what you got here, I think Vesey is more than capable of playing with Cuylle and Henrique. Leaving Goodrow, Brodz, Edstrom as your 4th line. I think this is a totally capable bottom 6. What they should do is get a depth defenseman because I dont think Jones is the only Dman you want to have in your back pocket come playoffs.</div></div>

That fourth line and 3rd line isn't winning anything imo you also have to think about the future. What's Kakkos next contract look like ? Then add Lindy,Lafs, Schenieders we won't have money for all these players. It would be best to trade Kakko now with some value. I think if that trade is offered to the Blues they do it because it gives them cap relief which they need for years to come. It helps the Rangers as it bridges Buch to Otthman and Perrault.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>I already answered your first question in the quoted reply.

My prefered TDL is Kakko + prospects + picks for Vatrano and Henrique both with retention. 3rd line is some form of Cuyle, Henrique, Brod, and Vesey. 4th line is some form of Cuyle, Edstrom, Goodrow, Rempe, Vesey, and Brod.

Obviously Dowd in some form "makes us better", but so would getting Crosby, McDavid, etc. There is more involved than just "better".</div></div>

did you really but Dowd and Crosby in the same conversation ?
You think that third line will be able to shut down the top players in a playoff series ? You don't know hockey one bit. Vegas won the cup last year because they had a third line with 2nd line type players. Its called depth ... something the Rangers do not have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aecliptic</b></div><div>There was a time when Dowd WASNT a cup winner, there was a time that Ovi WASNT a cup winner. There are plenty of players in the league that arent cup winners and theres no way you would ever turn them away. So to use that as an excuse to over pay for a bottom 6, PK forward doesnt work for me. Brett Howden has a cup now, does that mean we need to revisit that? No. On the flip side, just cause players win cups doesnt automatically make them all of a sudden must have.</div></div>

Do you remember 1994 ? You would have probably been upset of those trade deadline deals Neil Smith made. without those trades we do not win the cup. I have faith in Brodz but hang my hat on it in the playoffs against Canes top line or Panthers top line or Bostons top line or Leafs top line I don't. We need to upgrade our third line with good two way players. Hence why the rangers wanted Lindholm asked about Monahan.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>He's not playing "3rd line minutes". He's playing 4th line + penalty kill. This is fine, I'm not saying he's bad. He's worth a 2nd max, which is great. Difference is, NYR are already good on their 4th line and penalty killing. They have higher needs for their 2nd round pick, or in this insane idea, a 1st round pick.

The fact that he doesn't play 3rd line on a team with those centers the Crapitals have tells us everything we need to know.</div></div>

He's playing 3rd line minutes I don't know what you are talking about... So you are saying with Brodz for 3rd line is the way we go ? If you feel he's that good for the 3rd line .... what do you think he would do if he plays on the 4th line ? would be great hence why if we trade for Dowd would make us a better team. This team right now is good but not good enough to win the cup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aecliptic</b></div><div>Why in the world are we giving up a 1st for Dowd? What exactly has he done in his career to suggest that he is a 3C? The answer is nothing. With how well Brodz has played, the necessity of Dowd has all but dwindled.</div></div>

How good is brodz in the playoffs ? Dowd has history with Lavi and the playoffs. Do I think he's worth a first ? no but that's what it takes to get him on our team. He's worth more to NYR because he has played in Lavi's system. This team right now is good but not capable of winning the cup. Look at the 94 trade deadline the reasons for those trades weren't popular for a team that was #1 in the league but if we did not make those trades we would still be without a cup. This is the year we go for it the team is clicking and the changes we would be making would not change the chemistry. Most of these players we would be acquiring have played in the system and or with each other.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aecliptic</b></div><div>Thats not the trade for Miller.

VAN just lit Georgiev up, theres no way he carries any value in the trade. Especially because they have Demko. I honestly dont think the Rangers have what it takes to get Miller unless Rutherford sees some unexplained value in Chytil. Maybe you dont make the Rakell trade and send Krav in the deal for Miller. However, I dont know, if I was Rutherford I wouldnt do it and Id wait til next year or for something potentially better.</div></div>

Van needs to trade Miller now, with his value high. End of season his value goes down. They meaning Van won't be able to sign him after next season. Best bet for them to move him at TDL for a contending team has him for two playoff runs.
