Thinking out loud - and I absolutely do NOT want to trade Skjei - but, based on the situations for the ED, what are thoughts on this if the + is significant enough?

Brodin +
for
Skjei

I mean, how big is this plus? Are we getting one of Eriksson Ek or Kaprizov?

Brodin is overrated. He is living hard off the reputation he earned after his first two seasons in the league.

If Arizona was interested last year, is there a reason they wouldn't be this year? And, the Yotes are in the same draft position.

They may have had different numbers in mind for Step's contract and some of the pieces that they were willing to deal last year may be off the table now.

Who knows, I have no idea what was being offered.
 
We're not moving Skjei under any circumstances unless someone offers us a gigantic over payment. Gorton is trying to move Stepan for an almost top pairing defenseman. That I think to Gorton is replacing a hard problem of finding a suitable top RHD with a difficult minus 1 problem of finding a successor to Stepan's role. We have Zib, Hayes, Miller, Lindberg to try and figure out who can take over which spot in a very telling year for all of them if we have to trade away Step without getting a 1/2C in the off season.

Right now though, it doesn't look like there are trading partners. I'd be happy to pluck an under 26 2nd pairing calibre defenseman from someone without trading Stepan or signing an under 30 2nd pairing defenseman someone in FA for 4-5 years.

I think Zona should definitely be interested. Their division is straight trash, I think they could make a move for playoff contention this year, plus they have 2 years to convince OEL to stay.

They have a boatload of young talent so they could move someone like Perlini or Dvorak and their first and it wouldn't really make a dent in their prospect pool. Step the **** up Chayka.

As HFNYR-proclaimed Miller hater #1, I think it's a very unfair thing to do to add up small sample sizes across four different seasons to portray a narrative

Was this an elected title? Or just a proclaimed title? While you may be a top 5 with JT and Slim Jim combined, you are not a top 5 overall hater. You may have to try harder :)
 
Looking at the 2016 draft and the az speculation. Were they hoping that dubios or puljujarvi dropped? Tkachuk could have been the target. If someone valued the Nylander name or jumped on sergachev maybe they drop to 7.
 
Rangers felt the need to buy Girardi out before the expansion draft. Are they actually planning on making a move for a Dman or are they protecting someone else? If they bought out Girardi to protect Holden I will lose it.
 
The lightning were rumored to be interested in a muzzin for drouin swap. But everyone has cap issues. The rookies are cheap. TB waits for killorn to go to Vegas and uses that cap for another d.

Its possible that they just wanted to get it out of the way ASAP.

I expect the Rangers to do nothing by the 3PM deadline tomorrow. I think they're entirely content allowing Raanta to be selected and keeping all of their forwards.
