would totally be fine with that. 3-4 year deal? If he's gonna want more than that I think we are better off finding someone cheaper or hoping guys like Barron/Lemieux really pan out for bottom 6.
Fast is 28 but playing his style is he gonna be effective when he's 32 plus?
Dillon is not a top pairing D. He's getting 3.27 now, which is fair value for what he does. His next contract will be more than 4 million. That might be fair also. At 4.5, it'll depend on how many years and what kind of trade protections he'd require. He's kind of a better but much more expensive version of Lindgren, and will likely be overpaid on the next contract, won't ever be good enough to fill 1LD. I dont think he's a good fit.
Yeah I'm still hoping Strome takes a 1-2 year deal at less than 5. If he puts up the numbers like he put up with Panarin then he should get another pay day when he's done.

Just wondering...if barkov was available what would a potential deal look like?
chytil, 22, kravtsov, deangelo, Robertson? Something like that?

he has all the makings of a Captain from what i’ve read. Not sure he’ll be ready out of the gate being he’s likely the only player who needs introduction to the subway.
Yep. Wouldn't surprise me to see both of them end up there, to be honest. Seems like they're intent on making big changes while that core group is still young and on friendly contracts.
My cap for Dillon would be 4 years and $4-$4.5 AAV. Now of course you can have a team come in and overpay for him. And at that point we need to move on. But I am heavy on the Dillon train. Really want him and his makeup as part of this team moving forward.
Also side note, Frank Seravelli is saying Krug has turned down Boston’s latest offer of 6 years @ $6.5 AAV. Didnt want this guy before that and definitely dont want him beyond that. Just no.

We'd better be getting three Barkovs for a return like that. Hes a UFA after two more seasons.
The Rangers could potentially sign Dillon and expose him in the expansion draft a year from now.
Another left defense (stopgap) thought. Andy Greene was excellent for the Islanders in the playoffs. On a 1-2 year deal, he could be of interest to me.
I feel like most UFAs, especially the notable ones like Dillon, will insist on NMCs to avoid this. Also, the idea of signing big contracts and hoping for Seattle to bail us out is a losing one.
I really like the idea of adding Elias Lindholm. I don’t know why people see it as so underwhelming. He’s not flashy, but he’s not on a very different trajectory than Mika either. Finished 9th in Selke voting last year. Got votes this year as well. Career 52% on draws, plays a good amount of PK, over 2 minutes per game to lead Flames forwards. Had a down year production wise but so did the entire team, he was only 7 points off the lead. From all indications he’s a work horse and was the most consistent Flame night in and out. He’s on a great contract and would give us an exceptional 1-2 C punch.

I can see the appeal with Dillon for the Rangers. Not a lights out, top-pairing caliber guy on a cup contender but he's more than passable in the short term and you hope he can insulate guys like Miller, Reunanen, etc, until someone bumps him off the top pairing. I do question whether or not they can get into the conversation with him without going to 5 or even 6 years on a contract, which is something I'd rather not do.

If Chytil can't develop into a 2C, he better be a high-end 3C is all I'm going to say. People all over trading Strome, a guy who clicked and played with Panarin, both smashing career-high paces and numbers. if Strome wants $5M for 3 years, you have to do it, in my opinion. You don't sit there and move Strome who fit in well and when Chytil doesn't elevate himself to a 2C role, then what do you do? Knowing some, they'll blame Gorton lol.
. Agreed. Some fans all of a sudden ez to to go back to 2012-16 when we traded tons of picks/ prospects. Look I understand we want to win right now but we gotta see the rebuild through. It’s going really well so far but let’s no abandon it

The issue i have is the Rangers might rebuild the Blackhawks post Cups. Heavy comp for a few and nothing behind them.
From what i've read the Flames fans still love him and feel like he is one of their best players. How willing to overpay for him would you be?
I think he would be terrific behind Mika but I'm pretty sure Georgiev and Buch is not getting it done.
He is not getting that from the Rangers. I doubt Gorton would give that to any free agent
Depending on the cost he seems like he'd be a good add for 2C. You don't trade for him to be your 1C but you don't need him to be. He's on a good contract for another 4 years, in his prime, seems like he'd be a great fit.
But what would Calgary ask/do they really want to trade him.
