I just don't think Ferraro is all that good. Maybe it's just being on a terrible team, but I'm wary. I'd prefer Dumoulin, if the Jets go LD. He'd probably be cheaper, too.I think you're optimistic if you think Cole is going to be top 6 in the playoffs. One good game probably doesn't get him there. He's been demoted out of the top 6 for the past month.
Thus you can put one of your grinder wingers, like Nino, or Iafallo up with the 2nd line, balance it.
And drop Namestnikov and Perfetti down to a 4th line to spread out talent.
As for Ferraro I don't know where he is at now. But he's a legit top 4 d-man, 20 minutes a night for 5 years running. Those don't come cheaply, especially one with size, which if you are upgrading on Stanley is the need. Extra year of term is worth something....I'd be curious what you think a guy like that is worth on the market.
Jets wouldn't be much better with any of those. Matheson would play 3rd pair on the Jets. Evans isn't an improvement on anything. Dvorak is a downgrade. Savard is a big pylon these days.If come TDL time we are looking out of it....we have the following players.....
Matheson - still has term and is top 4D
Evans - UFA and very good 3C
Dvorak - UFA. Faceoff man. can play 3C
Savard - UFA, leader. On his last legs bottom pair D at best.
I won't bother with an ask....but Salomonsson would be my interest. We need RD.
From the sharks, I’d pay a good price for Walman, but I doubt they make him available barring a hefty overpay.I just don't think Ferraro is all that good. Maybe it's just being on a terrible team, but I'm wary. I'd prefer Dumoulin, if the Jets go LD. He'd probably be cheaper, too.
A couple years ago aI would have been all for it, but now, Rangers would need to pay someone to take him on.You guys want Mika? We will take back some cool Winnipeg Jet hockey pucks and a 2032 7th rounder.
None of those players merit asking for Salomonsson.If come TDL time we are looking out of it....we have the following players.....

I understand that, but elite UFA rarely get to market without being signed. Has anyone heard rumours that they aren’t planning to resign him? I haven’t heard anything, they’re a good team so highly likely they sign him imo.
Matheson - Not good enough to play 2LHD
Evans - Can't take a hit
Dvorak - We have Lowry at 3C
Savard - He is toast...no interest at all
No thanks.
No need for a 3C or 3RHD.
