You said it well. They are more than likely a lottery pick team, but another year of growth for the 'yutes of 2018, a full year of Lemieux, the additions of the obviously soft Euros like Kravstov and Kappo, plus hopefully larger samples of Hajek & Lindgren, along with another year of growth from ADA, can even make a ray of sunshine like myself get excited.
That said, I think they are a lottery pick team. I think that they will be entertaining to watch. I think that they will fight tooth and nail for ever inch of the ice and we will witness the best bottoming out that we could have hoped for. And then, after the year, the rise from the ashes commences.........and then they can storm Normandy......
Ok, I waxed the poetic long enough. Let me bring the conversation back to the 3 Ss of Smith, Shattenkirk and Staal......

A name that is a bit fascinating to me is Ristolainen. He seems to be the type of player that would fit in with what Quinn and Gorton seem to be building. He also seems to have been a bit of a disappointment in Buffalo. I am not advocating a trade for him, just seeing perhaps a buy low possibility.

People still can't get Staal right, and you expect them to get Kaapo right? The fact that his last name is Kakko makes it easy to mix them up. Kappo Kaako

Young RHD with size, but by most accounts he is a train wreck defensively. Given the number of young dmen we already have, I'd prefer someone who already possesses shutdown ability. Someone like Carlo.

I've seen it all over the years. Stahl, McDonough, Krieder, Skeji, Vessey, Rantaa, Kravsov, Straalman, Lundquist. I shouldn't get my hopes up

If the Rangers plan on bringing in more than just one UFA -- aka Panarin + and plan to sign their own RFAs, i think they will need to jettison another 5-10 mil from the current roster. The players most likely to get moved in that circumstance would be: Shatty, Kreider, Smith, Vesey.
Obviously moving one of Names or Strome would also provide that relief even more than getting rid of Vesey, but I think both are perfect fits for the bottom 6 this year and can help the new kids play Quinn hockey. And on top that they add a level of skill and grit to the bottom of the lineup that Vesey does not. Also, they are both decent deadline sells as they're both coming to the end of their contracts. Heck, the Rangers could probably retain ALL of their remaining salary at the deadline which could mean we could get 2nd rounder for one or both.

Could Chicago even afford a Kreider extension? I doubt that pick would be on the table either way.

Change is good.
Yeah, but with Kane and Toews (and Keith) all on the wrong side of 30, it's not about the future for them; it's about this year (every year). And as the article points out, whomever they pick (especially if it's Byram) is unlikely to be a major contributor in '19-'20, and potentially not in '20-'21 either. So, why not use that pick to load up on as much immediate help as you can get?
2 months of Hayes with no salary retention was worth a 1st + Lemieux. So, what's a full year of Kreider (potentially at half price) + ADA worth...?

Gorts has his work cut out for him these next few months trying to clear up this logjam on defense. The obvious preference would be to move out Shattenkirk, Smith and Staal, in that order. Pionk seems to be a given to be one of the odd men out.
The problem is I'm not so sure if anyone bites on any of the high priced guys. The first two would have to waive, so that complicates an already complicated situation.
Dreams of bringing in Panarin are nice and all, but this is still a rebuild. Skjei and ADA will get significant ice time, making sure Hajek, Lindgren and now Fox and Rykov get theirs is a priority as well. The latter two didn't sign here to play in Hartford.

That is why you do medical test before you sign anyone. Dont exactly know how this works in the NHL because of the franchise-system. In european soccer (were the clubs are independent) every player that is signed or bought from another club goes through these tests. And the contracts are not signed before the players has passed them. And the tests are thoroughly done. Got to be something similar in the NHL. You dont make these decisions based on rumours on a hockey forum

Well, that's one person's opinion.
I think it's definitely in the ballpark.

Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Still yes
He reaches his UFA years next summer, but it depends on what contract he signs this summer whether or not he actually is UFA next year (highly unlikely)

What are you talking about? RFA's sign 5-6 year deals that eat into their UFA years all the time. Why are you assuming one year - particularly when we're talking about Winnipeg moving him this summer? The team he's being traded to would presumably do so assuming they could sign Trouba.

Would you consider Kreider, ADA, and the 20th for 3OA?
Hayes route. Bet my pants on it. You guys are basing your arguments and telling me I got it wrong, when you guys got me in a place where until he signs a one year deal, you can tell me I’m wrong or whatever. But we all know, what his best option is and he’s take it so.... enough already. And if you don’t know what I mean then. What can I say to begin with
I’m gonna be proven right in a month or so, one year deal or he gets traded to the team he wants to sign long term with, with an extension.
I bet you. If I’m wrong, I won’t post here again. If your wrong, you change your name to amazing nerniebichols

You're "wrong" because we're talking about Winnipeg TRADING Trouba, not about Winnipeg RETAINING Trouba. Sure, if he stays in the 'peg it's in his best interests to sign a one year deal and become a UFA next summer.
But that's not what we're talking about. A team trading for him, if he's available, is going to do so with the premise that he's "signable". Otherwise, they'll wait until the trade deadline next year, a la your aforementioned Hayes, and rent him.
Bc of trouba’s history with Winnipeg and what Hayes just did last summer In the identical situation. What don’t you understand?
