If it were me, I’d blow it up with Buffalo and get Mittelstadt, Greenway, Girgensons, and E. Johnson here
Our package would start with Kakko, Schneider, Berard, a 2nd
50% retained on everyone except Grenway for you cap wiseasses

You're thinking of https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/354505/maxim-tsyplakov who's apparently shopped around by his agent.
While I freely admit I haven't seen him play (I rarely watch KHL), I hear people are skeptical.

Minnesota is great when it's not winter. Ever been there during the summer? f***ing beautiful.
The team will turn it around pretty quickly though. Their farm is f***ing stacked.
Congrats you just made us worse lol.

Skeptical or not, I'll take a free prospect with high potential.

IMO it's even worse for Anaheim from the value perspective. Kids and a 2nd aside they'd be taking on Goodrow's salary for many years AND retain on highly sought this TDL Vatrano and Henrique for only one 1st rounder?
So if I‘m Drury, the 2024 1st (and for that matter the 2025 1st) is off the table unless we are talking about someone like Zegras. I want a long term quality piece if and when that trade happens. I don’t think Middlestedt falls into that category. The first alone wouldn’t be enough to that kind of deal but it would be a necessary piece.
For guys like Vatrano, Henrique etc. the 2024 second (plus and middling prospect) is my best offer. Same as other rental types. No firsts for complimentary pieces.

Good luck with three salary retentions.

I agree they'll probably get bounced, but who knows. We focus so much on the Rangers but the truth is, outside of Boston (who looked unstoppable then was bounced in round 1 last year), most teams look beatable. This is especially so in our division which is filled with a bunch of mediocre crap. That is why GMs will go for it.
My point for the NFL was that it's very easy in the NFL to go from bottom to successful or from successful to mediocre. The Chiefs are the first back to back winner in 20 years. There's a reason for that. It's likely due to different reasons (e.g. injuries, single round playoff games, etc), but a lot of the success in the NFL is due to luck and becoming hot at the right time. It's becoming very similar in the NHL. The best team frequently wins less and less.

Value is also dependent on team need. Zegras is the only piece there that we would want beyond this season, and the other two don’t get us any further in the playoffs this year anyway. This is a shitty value for NYR considering our position. The last thing we need is to ship off high picks for retention on players that don’t even move the needle. And selling low on KK is a massive mistake. ANA gains multiple long term assets for a player they are down on (Zegras) and two vets they don’t need. So it’s actually good for their team long term though not a great deal by general market value perception.

If this list ends up being accurate this team is in great shape because Cuylle is already a very good NHL player. I have him third on the list at worst, probably second.The Rangers are ranked #19 by Scott Wheeler

The value of drafting Gabe Perreault with the 23rd pick gives the Rangers' pool a needed injection of high-end skill.theathletic.com

Your preaching to the choir. Unfortunately, the people in charge see things differently. The Rangers have too many needs and holes to fill.

I don't want to go into in depth discussion but the suggestion is much closer to address the Rangers roster needs at forwards for this playoff run than what Anaheim would be getting in return compared to what they could be getting elsewhere and if sold separately. So whether you think it's not a good trade from the Rangers perspective on a relative basis it's even worse for Anaheim. That's it.

Zegras or bust.
Laf, Zegras, Perreault one of Othmann/Kakko is a F core you can build around. You have Cyulle, Edstrom, Rempe for the tuffness.

Zegras is the only center in this core of 4-5 forwards. Unless they're changing hockey to three on three or using figure skating judges to score goals (9.5 for a triple axel Michigan), having Trevor Zegas as your first line center isn't it for an F core.

I think some of these takes on Zegras are a bit harsh. He's a 22 year old center who is still developing and has plenty of skill. I'm interested if he's available but I'm concerned with the price
