I saw someone post the time of it a few hours ago(could've been you), I think it was something like 12:39 specifically. And I hope I came out of that thread looking alright in hindsight, I remember being kind of upset because Stepan was one of my favorite Rangers, but I don't remember being all that shocked or mad about it eitherWent back theough the thread to check the time (you’re right about it) and man, some of those posters could use the benefit on hindsight
So, here is the rundown.
By now we’ve discussed or I’ve given enough hints to deduce:
The Rangers have had conversations with Buffalo and Edmonton involving Buch. Those talks have also included Names and Vesey, JP and Nylander. Nothing new to report tonight. The ball is with Edmonton and Buffalo.
The Rangers have talked to Toronto. It’s not Marner or Kadri. Nylander and Kapaned were mentioned. Nothing imminent.
As has long been suggested, the Coyotes and Avs have shown an interest in and engaged in talks about Kreider. The Avs have been more aggressive today. We’ll see how/if Arizona responds.
No one still wants Shatty as of 10:30 tonight. Par for the course.
The Rangers still would love to get in range of players they like in the draft. We’ve outlined combine interviews and guys they like, even if the board isn’t head over heels for some of those names.
We’ve talked about Vesey being viewed in a similar fashion to Pionk by some teams.
Speaking of Pionk, we talked about him on a recent pod. Talked about his departure being a matter of if and not when. Talked about him having higher value than the board realized. Now we’re talking about him being one of two components in a trade for Trouba.
Speaking of Trouba, we talked about the Rangers not chasing the price into the stratosphere. They obviously did not.
So, am I missing anything short of social security numbers and home addresses?

Maybe they want to avoid a future cap crunch and get a player who will be cheaper longer, kicking that can down the road maybe? Maybe thinking a guy like Kravtsov will come in and fill his current role on the team so they want to get a different kind of player. Not sure. I’d prefer to hold onto him unless it’s in a deal we clearly win.
