No mention of Buch demand...is it true him and coach are like oil and vinegar...maybe something reasonable?

How many trades has he had?
It’s all rental deals and I guess if you don’t win the cup it’s a bad deal ?
Sure Buch deal was bad. We all have no idea why they didn’t get a 1st

The Rangers have traded so many picks for nothing to show for them. Other teams trade picks for players who are part of the team for the next 2-3-4-5 years. I have no problem trading picks for actual players who will be here. You can't have a team made up of just picks.

Buchnevich was a 3rd round pick. Fox was a 3rd round pick. Igor was a 4th round pick. Cuylle was a 2nd round pick.

Draft picks are valuable. Throwing picks away is a big problem. Did you watch the mid 90s to early 00s Rangers. Throwing picks away thinking every garbage heap player they traded for was the one to put them over.

Teams are built. Not bought. A concept the Rangers can't wrap their heads around ever.

Did Copp, Vatrano, Tarasenko, Kane work? No. How many picks were wasted?

The Rangers don't have a 3rd line center because they throw picks down the toilet and can't develop one themselves. They should have had one waiting for the opportunity to step in after Chytil got hurt. They had absolutely nothing in the system because they throw picks away.

Then people talk about getting Guentzel, they just wasted a 2nd round pick. Now they have to use some other form of collateral.

way to cherry pick a few late round steals. Its very lucky and rarely happens. Thats not the point though. The window to a win cup is closing, so you need to go for it (with calculated asset management). holding onto a 2024 late second rounder and playing an AHLer at 3C when your window is open is moronic.

If they dont win a cup soon then you start selling off and recouping assets. Its fine to go all in and move picks. The real problem is not knowing when to fold.

I do agree that the odds of Buffalo moving Tuch are likely slim, but who would have thought they would have dealt Mittelstadt today?

That was kinda predictable to anyone really paying attention. They already paid Tage & Cozens.

What was as predictible was the underwhelming return they got back. Especially when LD was already strength of theirs.
 
I'm gonna drop this theory on the minimal chance I'm right.

The things linking the rangers to Buch, its not Buch, its a double retained Hayes.
He'd fix our center depth, he can play wing, and he's locked for the next year.
Vesey is here and we know they're close.
I think he's the better fit, and makes sense why we've been in talks with the blues, especially with Drury bargain hunting.

How is Hayes a fit?

For the sake of reasoning, lets assume the following:
  1. Twin Towers go back down to Hartford for remainder of regular season (pending emergency injury callups) and can return for POs as Black Aces
  2. Zach Jones is dealt

Rangers then have $5,250,084 in total cap space (LTIR) to use to acquire a depth D and a RW. Who do we acquire, what does it cost and how do we squeeze this in?

I would think Vatrano for a 1st with something small retained and a cheap big D is the path that Drury is on.
