Long Socks Gorton would have given up the higher of the 4th round picks. Letter Jacket Drury is awake.

Rangers have a lot of top end talent, but you're only as good as your weakest parts. Bottom six needed to be addressed and this is a good start.

Raspewtin roused me from watching lucha libre to tell me this trade went down so I was like "this better be good!"
It was.
Fraknie Vatrano is the tits.

It's poorly worded isn't it? Lower meaning the lower number (higher pick), or lower meaning the further from the start (the lower value)?
I assume it's for the better of the 2 picks

Now just keep him away from PK Subban and he should bring some value to the team.

A high draft choice is generally one that is earlier. So a low draft choice is presumably later.
I would think. I agree the wording is bad.

Sounds like someone I'm already assuming we will not re-sign.
I wonder what this means for a Kessell trade. With Kakko coming back I don't know if I see the need?
Wonder what the catch is? Typically a guy like him would fetch a 2nd/3rd at minimum
Seems to be injury prone based on his GP per season.

The kind of trade deadline acquisition I'm talking about - low cost, low risk

Kessel can't play outside the top 6 and isn't good enough to crack the top 6 on a good team.
He's right where he fits right now.

No catch. 2.5 mil cap hit hurts a lot of contending teams against the cap if they want to make another move. Us? Not so much.
We got the winger, i rather get Domi who can play more of a center role and provide some physical play. Something the top 6 needs.

This might also smell like Drury knows this is not the year to commit with FLA and COL loading up. Use his cap space the best he can for value trades, broker a deal or two, add some depth and hope Gallant can get the most out of his team.
This is one of those 'weaponizing capspace' moves, though not the kind usually thrown around here. Florida is trying to free up room for big additions and though Vatrano's a good player, on their roster, he's been relegated to more of an afterthought. It's them trading for cap space more than trading away the player.

Anymore, no, I'm saying I don't see the need.
I would have preferred Kessell to making a big splash, simply cause Kessell is cheap.
But at this point, Vatrano is the cheap move. Don't know if I see the point in paying a third or fourth for Kessell at this juncture.
