McLeod and Holland were our 2 worst forwards IMO. Would much rather have Nieves back up to see if he can hold down the 4C spot

AT LEAST top 10 1st + prospect or else zero reason to make move
Depending on what kind of C Gorton wants, you could make a move for Tavares, or Chytil debuts as a 2C or a 2B to Hayes next season. In either eventuality, I don’t see why you’d move Miller for a C. I’m a Miller fan but I don’t think he gets you on his own a good enough 2C. At best, a prospect who can project into 2C and whose club is undervaluing/underestimating.
We don`t know if Chytil or Lias are NHL ready next season, @Ola mention maybe couple of years of developing. Personally no one are off the table concerning building a team who will compete for the cup.
And it will take years and our current core might not be the answer - so the time table for a rebuild is highly unknown even for Jeff Gorton - even though he hope it will not take years. Glen Sather was on point - Jeff G. has a lot of work ahead of him, and it`s definitely not an easy job.
Because the whole league are trying to do the exact same thing to get that cup before us.

I like Holland and think he should be in the mix for the 4th along with Nieves next season, but zero reason to play McLeod over Nieves. Zero.
Hope at least that. If it is for a first it has to be for a sure top 10 pick. Trading him to a contender is gonna net us a 25-30 picks. Good enough for nash or grabs but not for jt

I read your post as us trying to net literally 25 picks and I thought it was unlikely but very bold so I liked it.

I'd take him in exchange for Vesey

Mr. Woodhull...
Edmonton especially and Chiareli is probably worse than Bergevin and has higher expectations with McDavid. I personally honestly believe whole heartedly that Draisaitl is 100% capable of being the driving center on his own line. He has played 47% of the season with McDavid and 53% without. Tied for league lead in even strength assists and on pace for 70+. I don’t think there is really any players I would make off limits for Draisaitl. I believe you can build around him. I believe he can be an 80 point franchise-ish player. I love his game. I highly doubt he would ever be moved after signing that extension but if Chia would move him in a panic move, it would be a dream for me.

Not if it takes someone like Zibanejad.
The Rangers have UFAs and upcoming UFAs to get picks and “prospects” (used loosely to define those youngsters with room to improve). Not willing to move our young core unless we are getting a better already player in return.

Mr. Woodhull...
Eh, I agree that you don’t move Ziba for Galchenyuk but in the instances I’ve seen it was proposed as Galchenyuk + 1st (which I don’t think Montreal would do). I can’t say I wouldn’t absolutely consider that. I’m not married to Zibanejad. He’s good. He’s not untouchable and if it’s a “true” rebuild I’m fine with scorched earth and adding every 1st possible. But the likelihood is so thin it’s probably not worth traveling down that rabbit hole.
Agreed . Holland will be a depth guy . McLeod and Carey should be and will be waived soon don’t worry . Both not part of future
Pavel Buchnevich
"Pavel Buchnevich The Fake"
I agree that he's better than his draft position, I think that was effected by injury, but I think you are really underratimg Thomas. Thomas was a big riser coming into the draft and has been one of the best, if not the very best, CHL player this season. He plays a very complete game. I think he's right up there with players like Chytil, Tolvanen, Frost as some of the best late first round picks.

Why not just Holden for Galchenyuk if his value has dropped so low?
Not sure if Chia will be around, but I could see a Hayes for RNH deal at the draft with pieces to balance it out.
East/West type of deal. The Oilers need a big center that can line up with the heavy weights out west.
RNH gets to come play games against smaller centers in the east.

Is that the kind of trade they are looking to make? RNH makes $6MM and will be 25 in April. By the time the Rangers might be ready to compete he could be 28-29.
Bob McKenzie podcast was two hours of trade discussion. He said the Rangers are doing a teardown. Bob went through the entire roster. McKenzie analyzed every team. If the Rangers are doing a teardown,are they really signing Kovalchuk to a 35 plus contract bringing Nash and/or Grabner back? Makes zero sense.

It makes sense to bring back Nash/Grabner if they take 1 year deals to sell off at next year's TDL ala Weight/tkachuk.
Also depends on how many players are dealt off the NHL roster between now and the start of next season. As well as the returns on those trades.
Will be clearer in 3 weeks
I’d keep Zib. Play Andersson , Chytil, Nieves. Trade Hayes
Miller , Buch, Fast, Lettieri
Zuc is sadly gone
Kreider , sign JVR, sign Grabner back , Vesey
Mac n Gs
Drury plz

“We’re not saying it’s a tear down, but it could very well be that”
Re: Hayes and Miller: “We’re not getting rid of these guys. It’s not a fire sale.”
Figured I’d add the actual quote to your post.
