Proposal: Forget a Shakeup. New York Rangers Fire Sale

[CrosbyStaalsAndNash]

Jets should offer a substantial package for Schneider.

100% agree on this move for the Jets, and they should pursue Kakko.
Schneider and Kakko would solidify our roster going forward now and the future.

edit: well shoot, Kakko was just traded to Seattle

Bruuuhhh!!

So NYR give up:

A 1st Line Centre (retained) who has averaged a PPG in the last 5 years

A 1st Line LW who has scored 151 goals over the last 3 seasons in all games which is 5th in the NHL.

A top 4 dman who played a crucial role in getting is to 2x ECF and a Presidents Trophy.

Only to receive:

- 2x 2nd rounders

- A middle 6 winger

- A middle 6 centre

- A bottom 4 defenseman

And the selling point is NYR lose salary and get younger? Come on man.

I've had Rangers fans sell me these parts for less. Also, I've fixed your assessment of Hayton. Lastly, that game can be played from our end too.

UHC gives up:

- A two-way, 20 goal, physical winger who is younger and on a solid contract.

- A two-way middle 6 center who won't light up the points, but can play top 6 without looking out of place.

- a reliable bottom pairing defenseman.

- 2x 2nds (which contrary to HFB, have value in the league).

NYR give:

- A nearly 32 year old, possiblydeclining center who has shown significant struggles on both sides of the puck this season, signed at $8.5m for 5 more years.

- A nearly 34 year old winger who's very likely declining in play and production at $6.5m for 3 more seasons.

- And a 26 year old LD who is having a very down year (I fully believe he will recover and be a top 4 player into his early 30s, but he has had a lot of usage and I may be wrong).

As you can see, a very stupid game.

 

[These Are The Days]

Y'all can have a 2nd and Shaugabay for Kreider at 50%

Drury seems stupid enough to do it

We're only really flush at LW. Every other position is a need in one way or another.

Thanks.

I was trying to come up with a suitable offer from the Caps for Chytil. But A) I wouldn't want to give up any high end prospects and the Caps have a dearth of mid-tier prospects, B) don't really know how much the Rangers value him, and C) they would need the Rangers to take some salary back (some combo of Sonny Milano, Alex Alexeyev, and Ethan Bear, OR just Mangiapane). So I just shrugged and moved on.

It's rough to gauge Chytil's value properly. When he's healthy, he's arguably our best center, but he is very often not healthy and every time he even gets slightly bumped by a member of the opposing team, most Rangers fans are clenching their buttholes.
