Thread: Cirelli and Sergachev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PinkWhitney</b></div><div>This^

I would also swap Buch with Lundqvist IMO. The Rangers will be way more dangerous this way:
Kreider Zibanejad Buchnievich
Panarin Cirelli Kakko
Lafreniere Chytil Fast
Lemieux Koivu/Howden Gauthier

Sergachev Trouba
Lindgren Fox
Miller Deangelo

But welcome to cap hell in 3 years, I hope you enjoy your stay.</div></div>

Could see Deangelo being traded in a couple years in lieu of Lundkvist. Wouldn't give him up with our RHD prospect depth being as shallow as it is. In 3 years all of our buyouts and bad contracts (as of now) will be gone (42m in cap space). Who knows who pans out or not, so that would be a worry for a later time. As of now Tampa is in "cap hell" and might have to give up some good young players to trade and/or offer sheets. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Thread: Draft Trade Down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CharlieComp88</b></div><div>not claiming to be an expert, myb u are? of course its all subjective but trust me, other than a couple get rich quick dummies the ranger fan base is ecstatic that we finally have a no1 pick we can watch grow. and the scouting on him is that he is pretty darn good. and the clips i see of his game is a beast on skates. so yeah im taking the number one i dont care what you offer me, if im the rangers -that is. and im 100 pct sure they aint trading him either. 100PCT.</div></div>

i wasn't coming at you specifically or claiming to be an expert... far from it actually. I was trying to be funny and sarcastic about most of the people who comment here who think they are 100% right all the time. I agree with you, i would take the 1st pick but i would definitely be tempted as a gm if Ottawa offered us something along the lines of my post for the exact reasons that <a href="/users/CD282" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@CD282</a> mentioned.

Thread: Draft Trade Down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>That's not always accurate.

- 2011 Nugent-Hopkins was the #1, #3 was Huberdeau and #5 was Ryan Strome. It's close, but then consider 6-10 picks were Zibanejad, Scheifele, Couterier and Hamilton.
- 2012 Yakupov was the consensus #1, Edmonton would've been better off trading that pick for Galchenyuk and Rielly.
- 2014 Ekblad was the #1, would you rather have him or Draisaitl (#3) and Dal Colle (#5)? William Nylander was 8 and Ehlers 9, that might be like Holtz and Raymond of the 2020 draft.
- 2017 Hischier at #1 pales in comparison to the #3 and 5 picks: Heiskanen and Pettersson.
- 2019 its early yet, but would you rather have Jack Hughes (#1) or Kirby Dach (#3) and Alex Turcotte (#5)? I know I'd rather the second option.

Unless there's a generational talent available, trading down from #1 could be a very sound strategy. Even an elite talent like Matthews in 2016 could be argued against PLD (#3) and Matthew Tkachuk (#6), or MacKinnon in 2013 vs Seth Jones (#4) and Monahan (#6). It's not as clear-cut as you seem to think.</div></div>

No. trust me, everyone is an expert here.
