Can't argue with that! You certainly saw him play more often than I did.

No, much bigger need for a RHD. Only way Fowler makes sense is if he's used as a piece of a Trouba trade.

There's practically nothing they can do to address the need for a defenseman this year. All you can do is hope that someone steps up, because those brutal NMCs are doing a terrific job in reducing the possibilities. If the guy stepping up is one of Staal and Girardi, good for you. If it's someone else... not so good, but not bad either.

It would take more then this to get Shattenkirk, Armstrong was asking far more from Detroit for Shatty. Skjei isn't a need for St Louis.

Staal looks to be the guy to step up. He looks much better than last year, albeit early. I think Gorton stockpiling forward depth this offseason has put them in a good place to trade a fwd or 2 for a dman at some point this season.

So they're going to somehow acquire Silfverberg and then trade him for Vatanen?

Trading two good, young, affordable assets for a pending UFA that you have a good chance to sign in July. Thats not bad, its terrible!

Thats already incorrect. They are getting better, both have done a very good job this season, much better than last season.

NYR is looking damn good... ill be curious what they give up to acquire a top dman. I need to look at NYR's future draft pick situation and salary cap situation in order to figure something good out
I haven't really educated myself as to what their cap situation looks like

Then you'll be right at the cap again. You have no RFAs looking at raises?
I looked it up zibanejad is an RFA looking at a massive raise if his season comes close to progressing at the way it is right now?
You also have some other minor RFAs. Pirri is a UFA and is playing great he keeps it up or at least puts in a solid season you're gonna just let him walk away? So with even getting rid of Nash it's seems kinda tough. The cap could go up but it seems like a lot of things need to happen for it to be possible.

Well, Murray is a pretty bad GM so he might just go for that!
Yeah he's the biggest concern but we'll see what happens with the cap next season and what the Rangers do to create some space.
Pirri will be a RFA

Disagree. getting Klein back was an absolute steal for us. Even with Del Zotto rebounding, I make that deal 10/10 times. He would have never rejuvenated his career if he stayed in NY.
I'm happy for him. Glad he is in a good situation.

He wasn't terrible for us in terms of offense, but Klein was a much better fit for the team and it showed. Deal didn't work out too well for Nashville, since MDZ was crap there and is now in Philly. Rangers and Philly did well, Nashville didn't.
