I would love to see this board if Drury would have traded a 1st+Othmann+Cuylle/Kakko for Guentzel and then would have had to sign him to a 9 mil per year contract until he was 37. That would have gone over very well and yet people complain he didn't do enough. He did a great job this deadline.

Because nobody cares about Carolina. Each team in the division views the big market and very visible Rangers as a rival they hesitate to make big deals with. Smaller deals fine but not major ones.
yup. Even though the hurricanes have had more extended success we're the team that no one wants to be risk losing a trade with.
No team in the metro really has the canes as a true division rival either.
The Islanders/Devils/Flyers all look at us as a major rival, but not the canes.
Why we usually trade outside the division ourselves.
I got one issue. Rangers should have sent down Brodzinski for the AHL playoffs so Edstrom fan stay on the roster. I guess Brodzinski is still gonna play 
Edstrom plays LW.I got one issue. Rangers should have sent down Brodzinski for the AHL playoffs so Edstrom fan stay on the roster. I guess Brodzinski is still gonna play
Surplus of those.
Better that Edstrom plays minutes rather than sit as a 13th forward.
Edstrom has a higher cap hit though I’m not sure how close we are to the ceiling.

Pitt, Washington, and Carolina all look at us as major rivals also. Everybody hates the Rangers, lol.
Brodz will have to clear waivers. He wont clear waivers.I got one issue. Rangers should have sent down Brodzinski for the AHL playoffs so Edstrom fan stay on the roster. I guess Brodzinski is still gonna play

Can they bring him back up if they wanted to or would they be over the cap? I like Edstrom alot.
Pitt/Washington typically look at each other as rivals, and pitt also looks at the flyers as a rival.
With trouba out we could bring edstrom up. with Trouba back in, not until the playoffs.
I would think D is going to be the 1st round selection. Center could be the pick as well. Either of those is the pick.
I wonder if they trade down with one of the teams that have many second round picks if there isnt someone they love.

I don't think one was dependent on the other. We needed a spare dman besides Jones.
Trouba being out doesn't change anything as he's not on LTIR. He's not even on regular IR, so he's still using up one of the 23 roster spots.
According to CapFriendly, we have $1,775,000 left in LTIR cap space. That doesn't include Rempe, who has an 820k cap hit. With Rempe, we have 955k. That's enough space to call up Edstrom. The problem is that we are limited to 4 call ups the rest of the regular season, so we aren't going to be moving players back and forth.

Imo Roslovic will be the steal of the deadline, i just hope we're able to keep him at an affordable cap hit. I'd guess he starts on the 3rd line and possibly works his way up

I'm looking way too far ahead, and thinking way too much, but I feel like we may end up making a splash at the draft. There's a good chance there was some truth to Dolan not wanting to trade the first. It's absolutely on-brand for him to want to have his one toy and his shiny new toy. Not even a bad move.
That being said, in line with that same logic, I feel like he may enable or encourage Drury to make splash there day one. Whether that be complete a trade or move up with the first, it got me thinking.
Either way, Tij Iginla would be great to nab but would require a trade up when the time comes. Could end up out of reach also. Would gladly take that pedigree here.

Exactly my point. It's probably underwhelming as far as roster additions are concerned, but Drury's thinking a bit more long-term here, and I appreciate that.
Wennberg and Roslovic might not be game breakers, but they're able to play a variety of different roles. Roslovic's been on a 45 point pace the last 3 years, so adding that for a 4th is pretty damn good.
Vegas and Carolina made some pretty big additions, but that can mess up your team chemistry, too.
What would Kakko and 1st get at draft? Top 10 pick selection at draft, maybe top 5??
We can forecast moves to fix our D in the offseason.

I think the next few months will determine his value this off season. I'm hoping he is on the 3rd with Cuylle and Wennberg. That line could be very good.

That always happens when they have 5 days off. They play 20 games the next 35 days or so. The schedule this entire year has been atrocious.
