A Rangers Timeline Idea

[99ideas]

The Rangers seem to be headed in the right direction as the team's promising young core will only get better year over year. While I can understand possible hesitancy around this move, flipping Kreider and Panarin while their value is highest would help fill the cupboards further with more youth that fits the Rangers' timeline.

An interesting possible trade partner for such a move could be the Dallas Stars, one year removed from a Finals appearance, with many decisions to make this offseason regarding a slew of free agents, the final year of Radulov's $6.25 million contract, and a quickly aging core that could still have another crack at contending for a few years with the right moves.

The following move could serve both teams well as they begin their respective retooling:

The Rangers trade Artemi Panarin and Chris Kreider to the Dallas Stars for Jason Robertson and Thomas Harley.
- The Stars, while giving up promising youth of their own, add two fantastic forwards to a core that already boasts Seguin, Benn, and Pavelski.
-The Rangers, while giving up established talent, restock with a proven young forward in Robertson and a potential stud D prospect in Harley.

No.

This is just another Roster Building post getting its own thread.

Also, the Stars have nothing that brings back Panarin. Nothing. They have no offer.

I don't think Heiskanen, Robertson, 1st even does it because we don't need a defenseman.

Eh, that one does it for me. A LD who can potentially compete with Fox’s upside would cement us as a deadly team going forward and essentially Panarin + Kreider’s 18M would cover Heiskanen and Fox for the next 8 years.

But short of Heiskanen + my answer is absolutely not.

This thread is premised on the idea that Robertson and Harley will be more useful than Panarin and Kreider in 2-3 years. Not sure that is true.

That's fair.

Kreider is still useful and still had good analytics in a down year.

We just need the new coach to get him to stop cheating. That's not his offensive game anyway.

My post above stands, but I’m guessing it’s Robertson + Harley + ~15M in cap when we have so many young guys we want to lock up long term. But I still stand by my above post.

You don't trade Panarin. Period. Chances are he'll be awesome until he's 35-36. He plays a game that ages well. He loves it here. We love him here. He performs here. You just don't trade that.

 

[RangerBlues]

We could be starting over for all we know. New management. Drury has no attachment to anybody on this roster. Its more likely we will not recognize this team in three years.

Things change, so Panarin might think about waiving his NMC if the Rangers are a f***ing disaster freak show next year, but there's no reason for him to do it now and for the Dallas Stars. Panarin and Mika are guys who seem like they want to be big entertainers in New York City, maybe that has some drawbacks (some definitions of buying in, coachability, those bubble playoffs lmao) but it is what it is

 

[Adam Fox Time]

No to trading Panarin, Yes to trading Kreider if they can. It was a mistake to re-sign him when they did IMO.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Panarin is just too good. Both that shot and his wheels should remain intact for a while. Kreider, we’ve beaten that to death. Although the cap number is reasonable the longevity is endless.
