Just a thought on Rangers being active in the trade market. They are limited to what can be accomplished by a lack of assets. What if the two first round picks use their no trade clauses? Where does this leave MM as far as making a deal that impacts the Rangers?
Rangers will have to take a page out of the Knights playbook this trade deadline.
In an interview with Dylan Hunter earlier this season, he said when the Knights make trades / deadline deals, they do so with the present and future in mind.
In other words, don’t cripple the future for the sake of today.
London bought last year. They didn’t spend a massive amount of assets because they were already very good. The deals they made were strategic - to fill holes. And fill holes they did.
They were also able to ensure four picks in the first three rounds in the ‘23 draft. That is huge.
There are comparables to this Ranger team. We’re already really good. We don’t need top flight elite players. We need to fill holes. Improve our depth. I believe that can be done while preserving the so important ‘24 draft picks.
