Toronto area
to Utah Hockey Club
Mika Zibanejad (6y @ $8.50m)
Reilly Smith (expiring @ $3.75m)
Matt Rempe (expiring but RFA @ $0.82m) waivers 2025

( Rangers add, you tell me what the fair price is )
TOTAL CAP = $13.07m

to New York Rangers
Barrett Hayton (2y then RFA @ $2.65m)
Nick Schmaltz (2y @ $5.85m)
Alex Kerfoot (expiring @ $3.50m)

TOTAL CAP = $12.00m

This move helps the Rangers move on from Zibanejad's huge contract as he's declining. It makes the team younger, provides more cap and roster flexibility long-term, and opens up $1.07m in cap space for this season.

What would NYR have to give to UTA to make this a fair trade?

Not happening; why would Utah piss on their kids and throw up on there selves?
Schmaltz and Kerfoot aren't kids. Hayton is young-ish but they're getting back Rempe who is young. The pieces NYR add on would be the reason UTA hypothetically agrees. A 1st round pick would likely be going to UTA, which is technically a 17 or 18 year old kid. :sarcasm:

They aren’t the kids but are good middle age vets (for the kids) for a team that’s heading in the right direction.

I don’t think NY would pay the price to lose Zibanajeds contract and flush out Rempe as well.

Nothing in the OP implies that he doesn't...


A cap dump who COULD turn it around and be a decent 2nd line center for Utah... or not. An overpaid high-cap reclamation project with 5.5 years of term (and buyout-proof contract).
Kerfoot and Smith are a wash, Kempe maybe worth a 4th, Rangers add at least a first for someone to take Mika, plus another first for Schmaltz and a 2nd for Hayton

2 x 1sts and 2nd to Utah and 4th to Rangers to balance it out

No one is taking Zibs contract the guy has 6 years remaining at a premium and is totally cooked.
