Value of: Cost for NYR to swap Hayton Schmaltz Kerfoot for Zibanejad Smith Rempe?

Now all you have to do is flip Hayon, Shesterkin, and Fox to Buffalo for Cozens and Power, and you have yourself a bern proposal.

As I have said in many threads, it's just over 1/3 into the season and the entire NYR team has been struggling.

To say that both Kreider (from other thread) and Mika are washed is crazy. They have been top performers for the last 6/7 years consistently but struggle for a 1/3 of a season and all of a sudden they are washed, negative value & on anchored contracts? Seems a heavy over-reaction.

Bern would offer Brodzinski, Jessiman and Bickel for Cozens and Power then try to bring up some random analytics that claim he’s making a good proposal.

Nah that's not bern.

It would be masked in his word salad.

I’m of the opinion that you’d have to add 2 first round picks and a grade-A prospect to move on from Zibinijad’s contract. I think it’s the worst in the league by far. The Rangers won’t do that, but maybe they can figure out some sort of a mutual contract termination this summer or buy him out. They’re both clearly miserable with eachother.

But it’s the Rangers, so some dogshit win-nothing club from the west coast will give them a 2nd round pick and a middle six winger for him in the offseason.

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?

This is really bad for Utah. I don't know what the Rangers could possibly give them to take on Zibby's boat anchor of a contract, but it would be multiple first round picks.

But you also have Utah, inexplicably, giving the Rangers Barrett Hayton, too. Considering they are getting back a massive cap dump, a 33-year old extremely mediocre soon to be a free agent and an AHL tough guy, I can't imagine what reason the Utah side would possibly have for doing the trade at all, never mind surrendering a valuable piece in Hayton and useful middle six guys in Kerfoot and Schmaltz.

This is just a terrible, terrible trade for Utah. They get nothing of value, at all, and they take on a radioactive nightmare of a six-year deal for Libby.

This is really atrocious.

did you say Kempe is worth maybe a 4th? LMAO

Yeah meant Rempe
