Saves cap space? What?
Nash, Hagelin and Klein for Malkin
saves cap space....until we replace 2 spots vacated by Hags and Klein

Oh so we're trading our 42 goal scorer and our number 1 center. Got it. I'm loving this plan.
For a much superior center who would more then likely match Nash's goal output. The winger the Rangers would get in return for Stepan would not be chicken scratch either.
So we are getting a more expensive version of Nash who doesn't play defense and trading Stepan for someone. Brilliant.
Sorry just catching up here... So we're trading the guy who led the team in goals for the past 2 seasons...
Sorry just catching up here... So we're trading the guy who led the team in goals for the past 2 seasons because he couldn't keep it up in the playoffs? To me, the reason we lost to Tampa was A) the D could not keep up with Tampa, and the D could barely get the puck out of our zone. How many times did DG have time to clear the puck but instead made the wrong play and Tampa kept the puck in the zone. B) AV got out coached. He refused rarely juggled the lines except for Marty & Miller and when he was forced to in game 7 he kept Glass in over Sheppard and once McD was able to play he refused to place Hunwick on the ice who outplayed KK in the first period. But hey that's just one person opinion.

Great - trade those guys to a divisional rival and watch Nash put up 60 goals playing with Crosby. Sounds great.
We all know Malkin would score 20 and put up 30 assists too.
Look, it happens. We lost in the play offs. The main reason we lost to Tampa, was the complete meltdown by Lundqvist in games 2 and 3. If he even played decent, we'd be in the Finals now after eliminating Tampa in 6 games.

Brassard isn't going anywhere
I 1000% agree with this
Stepan is better than Brassard.
Different players. The strength of the Rangers is that we don't have a clear-cut 1st and 2nd line.
If we are all dead set on keeping Nash and supplementing him with more goal scoring, I'd be interested in something revolving around Hagelin and talbot and Dallas' 1st and Nishcushkin.
