Again, you pretty much state why he will be a trade chip available regardless of fans opinion. It comes down to depth and obviously they have a good thing over in NY. RHD will be what you trade but it won’t be Fox or Trouba. Nils occupies the other RHD spot and he will be on one of the two PP units going forward. Schneider will be a trade chip for Offence to improve the overall balance of the team and Rangers will get a good return for him.
your wrong again. Many View Schneider to the superior prospect over Lundkvist long term.
Nils might have a better shot and put up more points, but Schneider likely beats him in every other facet of Defense. And that’s not a shot at nils. He’ll be a solid player in his own right.
Rangers have Jones/Lundkvist/Fox all in on team or ready to play by next season.
They are all relatively the same size and and play a 2-way PMD style. Miller, while bigger, also plays a similar style.
Right now, besides Schneider the only other player with the size and capability to play the same physical mobile D style and contribute on the offensive side as well is Trouba.
While Trouba is a beast for us, he also makes 8 mill a year. We’re going to need that cap space soon. Trouba’s NMC changes to a MNTC in 2 seasons after this year. At that point in time, most fans are expecting Schneider to step up and Fill that void.
The rangers have a lot invested in him and think very highly of him as well. All Schneider has done since the day we picked him at the draft was impress and increase his value.
Finding a potential player like that is very valuable. That’s exactly why the only other 1 we currently have makes 8 million dollars a year.
It’s a harder to find commodity then a smallish top 9 smaller playmaking/scoring wing.
Is that easy enough to follow for you?
It’s like Gold being more rare then silver.....
Not a preference, it’s a real world fact.
The only Hoglander has over Schneider at this point is that he’s played well when he got his opportunity.........
NYR fans are banking on Schneider to do the same when he gets a chance.
