With Fox, Trouba, Lundvist the Rangers have a deep right side. Cap wise they would probably want to move Trouba but he is into his ufa years and has this year and the next 2 with a full nmc. Before it ros to a Mntc of 15 teams for the final 2 years.

right now hes a good choice for top 6 however he does move down nicely to be a elite 3rd line piece Only reason I have him on the list i want to open space for Vilardi in top 6

The Sammy Blias injury changed that. Ideally, they could call -up Barron and move Chytil to the wing if needed. Currently Goodrow is up with Kreider and Zibby, but that's not a real fit.

Now I think about it Kempe might flourish with his fellow Swede on the rangers top line.
I just would hope to keep intact laf-Chytil- Gaut line
Can Ranger fans give some scouting and development updates on the following players:
1. Braden Schneider
2. Nils Lunqdvist

Its tough because of the uncertainty of management.
If Benning still has the green light to make traded then I'm sure he will want roster players to help the team win now for JT Miller.
However, if a new GM comes in this week or next week and decides he wants to do a quick rebuild then I can see the Canucks trading for youngers players and draft picks like Schneider, Kravstov.

Sure, it should have been Buchnevich
I mean that deal is still shocking to me

#1 isn't on the table for a 2/3rd line winger. Regarding NYR/Vancouver scenario - Miller is much more than a 2nd/3rd line winger, but I don't think it makes sense to cough up what it would cost if they don't plan to use him as a 1st line weapon, or if they don't plan on signing him after next season for 7.5+ million/long term.
Scouting report
Big
Very good skater
Wins battles on the boards/front of the net
Big hits
Decent/good first pass out of the zone
*Probably will never put up a ton of points or QB a power for unit 1.
Nils Lundkvist
Good skater
Much Smaller and gets knocked around a little by forecheckers. Struggles when scrambling after rebounds, deflections, block shots, or attacking players cycling. (at least so far at the NHL level)
Gets shots through and can make nice outlet passes out of the zone
if there’s a deal that works for the Canucks and Ranger around Miller for Schneider then it should be done. Schneider seems to be exactly what the Canucks are missing, we need a long term partner for Hughes. This season is already a write off, and likely next season as well. Canucks owners and GM just need to come clean and say this season is toast and this move is to help us get back on track, we shouldn’t be moving Miller for a vet and picks, that’s just dying a slow death doing a move like that.
Seattle should be listening on Jankrok, Johansson and Donato. Donskoi could be another option but he has an extra year so would cost more. Picks and or prospects would work.

Jake still looking bad? Thought he’d rebound this year. What’s the story with him.

Something I would consider depending on what other teams offer us for Toffoli.
What type of middle 6F are the Rangers after? PP/Skill/Skating type or overall good game/gritty type?
Toffoli, Hoffman, Armia, come to my mind. Each of them having different price tags though. Armia might be available for cheap based on the start to this season
Canucks at this point are need to make up points because if they fall 10 points back and they are currently 6 out they are done.
not making that up.
At this point it’s a WC spot now.
Edmonton is riding McDrai.
Sutter has revitalized Calgary.
Vegas overall is hanging in there despite a tonne of injuries.
leave the 3 Cali teams and Seattle isn’t a PO team.
No one Essa Terry turning into a 1st liner.
LA I figured Danault would help take pressure of Kopitar who is producing at an insane level for his age. Always had the Offensive talent but heavy usage slowed him down.
SJ their high paid guys are playing well. No Kane in the room helping them.
not sure if the Cali teams can sustain but the Canucks don’t exactly have a history of turning it in until after the tdl.
If the Canucks continue to fall out they have to wave the white flag. They have win and chi up next with both teams having played in Edm the night before. If they can’t pick up wins against these teams they may very well be cooked at the 1/4 mark.
Edit:
Central I had Col and win as locks.
Stl and Dal most likely.
Nash, Min, chi would fight for a WC spot
AZ dead last in nhl.
so it’s a tough road to climb if the Canucks don’t pick it up.

that does nothing for Vancouver… we already have OEL and Hughes with Rathbone ready, we don’t have a need for Lundqvist at all. Schneider is a piece the Canucks would need coming back

What about a package of Hoffman and Armia? Hoffman as the skilled/skating/PP guy and Armia as the strong puck protection body down low.
Not sure what I would ask for in return. Kravtsov and 2nd with a 1/2 year cap dump coming the other way?

thanks for some clarity...
Obviously, I'm not wanting to give up Schneider.....Zac Jones is another fine prospect that plays the left side.
need right side not left, Hughes and OEL are on our left side. If Schneider isn’t available I don’t see a fit here, Horvat and Miller are our top players we can’t move them for pieces that don’t help us
