Drury to Kakko this summer:

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Which is exactly how much?

That's the problem here.

2-3 years at 3 or 3.5

 

[wetcoast]

2-3 years at 3 or 3.5

So that would give them 10 to 10.5 million to sign 5 more guys including a #2 center and a backup goalie?

Keep dreaming.

We'll need to move Nemeth, most likely. It will be tight, but it's doable.

 

[Guy Larose]

He will be traded at the draft for one of MTL's 2nd picks. Bookmark this!

If no one is offering better than a 3rd round pick, there's no incentive for the Rangers to trade him, and no chance that it will happen. A 2nd round pick probably isn't enough either. That might be fair value, but the Rangers have no reason to trade him for fair value either. He is under contract and can't play for anyone but the Rangers. It's like the Puljujarvi situation with Edmonton. Kravtsov has a chance to play and improve his value so that he either becomes a player for the Rangers, or he becomes a more valuable trade asset. Either way, it's in the Rangers' best interest to hold onto him unless some team offers a deal they can't refuse.

I would just have the Rangers play him for one season; I don't think they can get a second with him, maybe a third or a fourth, but it's in the best interest for the Rangers to keep him, so yeah.

Not enuf.
Talent/upside potential must also be there or not even a look at.

Yes, but skill can be developed when you're in a different team, and who knows if Kravtsov doesn't have the skill we all thought he would have?

It's a prediction that you're making. There's still a small chance he might turn out to be something.

You're right that Lias might still MAYBE but not likely turn into something.
But up to his pt, he has been a big overrated nothing, which Krav demonstrates by his play he is not.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Rangers will come out of this with Kravtsov showing promise or end up with a struggling young player cause the NHL is more physical than the KHL with less time and space.

1 year ELC fits. Good luck Rangers. I don't see you guys trading him until you know how good or bad he really is.

It's alot easier to move guys on HF boards than it is in reality as other teams have Cap considerations this offseason and the lag due to Covid will linger.

 

[Bob and 200 others]

We are going to have to try to bribe Trouba to go to FL, who will take him at 6 if we eat 2 per [Reinhart + Weegar to Ont for 7OA + got good vibes on the boards some wks ago, that = cap space for JT at 6].

So..

Fla
Trouba@6mil

Ott
Reinhart + Weegar

Ny
7oa

Another bern special

Yeah, I agree, but if NYR is signing him, I think they are having a bit of hope up on him, not just to trade him.

The Rangers are close and they know it so I don't think they'll be sitting around hoping prospects will get them over the hump , their window to win is NOW . I fully expect them to target certain players and pursue them aggressively and I believe one of those players will be Josh Anderson along with a second line center if they don't re-sign Strome , a better defenseman than Justin Braun and a backup goalie to replace Georgiev . They probably re-sign Copp and/or Motte while letting Vatrano walk . In other words the Rangers will be all in this off season and at the deadline .

Not sure they have the cap space to do what you think they should do. I agree that they will try to improve on what they have but cap space will complicate things a bit.

You might want to look at the Rangers' cap situation.

There is no chance they trade for Anderson. None.

I understand that the cap complicates things but not to the extent that it will prevent the Rangers from making trades for players that they think will get them to the next level .

If you can figure out how we sign Copp and Motte, while aggressively going for Josh Anderson and a second line center, that would be wonderful. Rangers may have helped increased viewership playoff ratings, but I don't see the league thanking them with some added cap space.

The only way it could possibly work is if you take back Nemeth and retain 50%. Even then, I don't see it happening, especially if you are expecting to get significant value back for him.

Still not sure I see a place. The Rangers seems to be committed to having Lafreniere and Kakko in the top 6 next season.

I don't either. I was just arguing from a cap perspective.

No-I get that. There seems to be a pervasive mindset that the Rangers are in panic mode this offseason. Sure they have wholes, but they are not going to do anything dumb to fill them. And Anderson doesn't really address one of the holes in the roster.

Gotcha , didn't realize that you guys have next to nothing to send back cap wise in a trade after Nemeth . Apologies , should have checked first .

I wouldn’t mind if the ducks traded for him using the pens 2nd
