a little late but glad to have a Finn buddy for Kakko
if he is genuinely much better than Harpur, and would sign for ~Blais money, I'd re-sign for 2 seasons

Well if two of them go then you still have Othmann, Kravtsove, this year's first, next year's first and potentially prospects rangers can get from trading older pieces. Nothing is ever static and assets in an organization are always changing. Rangers have a surplus of prospects and young players. This trade seemed low stakes with that in consideration.

youre showing your ass here.
Tampa paid a 1st for goodrow at the deadline, and you're using them as an example for your argument of doing the opposite of that.

Panarin is going to get A LOT of apples playing with both Mika and Tank.

Now that Tarasenko is here, if you're asking me if I would buyout Goodrow (worst case scenario) so I can fit in Tarasenko @ $5.5-6m on a 3 year deal, I'm leaning towards yes
I like this trade for three reasons:
1) the value is there relative to where the team is currently. We’re improving without swinging for the fences
2) It has the compounded benefit of really getting Bread going. Upgrading Bread from a $6mm to a $10mm+ player is worth multiple 1sts by itself.
3) It’ll put a nail in the excuse carousel for Bread. If he flops playing w/ the best players he’s ever played with here, both with elite level shots, then I think we have all the info we need to decide what direction to go with him next year.
No matter your take, it’s an exciting day as a Rangers fan.

Buying out Goodrow doesn't give us enough space to sign Tarasenko to that deal.
It's his last big contract. He's going to want to get paid. I don't see him taking even that much of a discount, especially if he plays well for us.
That Buch trade looks pretty hilarious now.
Don’t hate

Strong along the boards, weak on the puck. Clear upgrade on Harpur. Was giving the slippery Colordo forwards fits in the Blues - Avs series.
The first is the cost of retention.
It looks just as shitty the day it was made. And it nothing to do with blais, but rather getting a second instead of a first

Didn't they pick up Coleman the same year with another 1st round pick? Or am I remembering that wrong?

They have nothing to do with each other. We couldn't afford Buch at the time.
Just because you been catching a lot of flak in the thread.. I think it's gonna be fun as hell seeing Tarasenko on this team. Undeniably makes this a better team, probably puts us in that contender picture. There's a bit of a knee jerk reaction that you have to love the move. Frankly we didn't give up much to make this deal but I'm not too crazy about giving up the first. And it's not because I think you can't give up firsts at the deadline. Our right side was Kakko, Goodrow, Vesey and Gauthier.. Kakkos just turning the corner as a top 6 player. So maybe you got 1 guy. It's rare for a Cup team to fill such a big hole with a deadline acquisition. Generally these teams dont need the big fish. They have a deep, established group and add some extra depth at forward and defense. Hopefully it doesn't become a theme where we need to bring in mercenaries every deadline to fill major holes on the right side because we can't address it properly. The cap makes it tricky but it's something that Tampa addressed properly by acquiring Hagel. They gave up an arm and a leg but it made sense for them. Palat left, Hagel took his spot and the guy is on pace for just under 70 points getting paid 1.5 million a year. We still have a first so it's not that big of a deal I just feel there were maybe some other options that made more sense rather than chasing the big fish. Barabanov and Kubalik make 2.5 million a year with an extra year. Both top 6 wingers that you could plug on the right side. Fills a hole and cheap enough that you could still retain your players in the off-season. But kinda had to figure Drury was going to deal one of the firsts, I'd just rather see it for a piece that we could hold on to past this season
