Again, another stupid idiot who suggests trade youth [Schneid] + for a vet
NO NO NO
hopefully we denounce these losers repeatedly, they won't go there at sq 1
The New York Rangers fell short of winning the 2024 NHL Stanley Cup, and fittingly so, a recent mock trade gifts them with a star defenseman who would help ensure that such a fate has a low probability of replicating itself in 2024-2025.

It's just some random fan's bright idea. I don't see it happening for several reasons. Last year the Zibanejad line at 5v5 had issues with its RW. None of Kakko, Wheeler, Roslovic were really good enough which is why the move for Reilly Smith. So take him away and there is good likelihood we have the same problem all over again.
We also have questions about our defensive depth and trading a younger and healthy D for an injury prone vet is not how you solve that kind of issue.
Denisenko at this point is a failed prospect. He had a productive year in the AHL last year but he's a 2018 draft---(Kakko was a 2019 to put that in perspective) with 32 NHL games and 0 goals after 4 years of plugging away in North America. Does he still have a chance to become an NHL player? Yeah....probably but I wouldn't expect he's going to be any kind of a world beater and we have plenty of very good prospect forwards already. I don't think he adds much to our organization that we don't already have plenty of.
So Schneider and our possible top 6 RW solution and a 1st rounder for an injury prone vet and a prospect who's yet to make any real impact 6 years after he was drafted---I don't think that's got much chance of happening.
