Friedman: Rangers interested in Victor Olofsson
- Thread starter TommyDangles

We’ll only accept the turquoise-iest of blue chips for him. Like Boo Nieves, Sean Day, Riley Gropp, etc. type guys.

Based on??? The stretch of games he was playing obviously still hurt and without his best asset (shot) available to him? Because before that, he was our best forward.

Based on his whole career lol? He's horrid 5v5.
This year:
Before this year:
This is while playing with Eichel & Reinhart. He's also been useless on the powerplay since Eichel left (3 PP goals in 80 games). Team has been much better on the PP since we swapped him with Tage on the PP1.
I just don't see him as a part of the team's future. Would much rather trade him for some picks + prospects instead of signing him long term.

He's a useful player as a 3rd line guy who you can play on the PP, but to think he's worth Schneider is f'n hysterical.

Schneider right now is where K’Andre Miller was this time last year. Betwen the two of them it’s like having left shot and right shot versions of Marc Staal at the beginning of his career and Staal was one of the best shutdown D’s until the head injuries. Schneider has found a permanent place in the lineup in his D+2 year. Never say never but I really don’t think the Rangers are interested in moving him at all and certainly not for a middle 6 winger who is not all that far away from being a UFA.

It's more like all the beat writers like to include the Rangers in everything with every player because they know Rangers will be active at the deadline.

They wouldn’t give up Schneider for Eichel. They’re DEFINITELY not giving him up for Olofsson.

I mean, we don’t know if that’s true or not. Even if we wanna go with your premise, he would not have been the main target of Buffalo in a return for Eichel. He would have been (to use the Vegas return as a comparable) the Tuch or the Vegas 1st part of the return.

All the reporters realize what's really going on but they won't tell their readers. Chris Drury is very straight forward and does not play games. He makes offers and sticks to his price. He made an earnest offer for J.T Miller months in advance of the deadline and will likely stick to it, perhaps upping a pick. He doesn't play the usual GM games. He never budged on the Eichel scenarios until he re-sign Zibanejad and closed the door on Eichel. He inquires about everyone because he's a 1st year GM with cap space and a good team with holes. All this Rangers speculation is just writers generating clicks.

I think we will keep the guy who was PPG to start the season until he got injured, he was perfectly fine at even strength.Based on his whole career lol? He's horrid 5v5.

I don't think Eichel to the Rangers was ever all that serious. They already had a quality 1C in Zibanejad and all they had to do was re-sign him. That said I don't recall seeing that the Rangers had Schneider off the table in an Eichel deal. If so, I'd say that only reinforces that the Rangers really weren't all that serious of a bidder. Obviously Schneider for Olofsson isn't happening. Schneider is good and young, dirt cheap and the Rangers are looking at a serious cap crunch coming up. The Rangers aren't going to be the high bidder on a player they can't even afford next season.

It is true. It was reported by several different sources, including Friedman, Dreger, Seravalli and Brooks.
The point still stands, they’re not moving him for Olofsson if they wouldn’t move him for Eichel. No amount of mental gymnastics is going to change that.
