It's simple...we can't keep everybody , which means life without Strome . I think by this stage the Rangers front office already has a plan in place for the different scenarios that could possibly play out on KK contract and Strome wants for term and dollars . They certainly cannot take the chance of flying blind going forward . Maybe next season it looks like this....Panarin-Zibs-Blais/Kravs? and Laf-Chytil-Kakko or maybe swap the RW's . 3rd unit of Kreider -[Barron or Rooney or Goodrow] -Gauthier /Kravs? and a 4th line combo of Reaves-[Rooney/Barron/Goodrow] & Hunt ....and no Ryan Strome . Some variables to consider...as there always is .

I think with the continuing progression of Chytil-Laff-KK-Gauthier it will more than offset the loss of Ryan Strome . Then the following season we see even more from KK -Laff-Barron-Gauthier.......those guys will just keep improving along with the added offense generated by our back end addition of Jones and Schneider and Miller also finding more offense in his game.....simple evolution should fix our anticipated problems or seemingly lack of problems which always get overrated here . We have great young talent....let them grow !!!!!

Opps...tried to delete the previous reply....oh well LOL.....

Seems like Lindgren is well liked by the players. I can't see that happening.

Is this to keep Strome and get rid of Chytil or to keep Chytil and replace Strome? @Chytilmania​

it'd be a move out of necessity. Getting a good 2way player that can skate.

It would work with either or but it'd obviously give us more space to sign a Strome. I'm indifferent on Strome tbh. I understand if they sign him. I understand if they let him walk.

Above all, we need better 2way centers... for now and the future. I still see a future for Chytil here, but I still see it at wing.

You got to give to get. I know we will be giving but with an untested NHL prospect, are we getting? @ramp5

that's the issue. Lindgren is a good player but with our army of defensement on the way and our need, it may be worth the trade off. Theoretically Jones could step in right now and play with Trouba.

Would Kaut+ get Krastov?

Kravs + for Newhook ?

Kravs plus Jones seems to much but I think most would do Kravs plus Robertson.

Still not enough ?

Krav + Jones for Newhook would probably get done if it were offered.

[GoAwayPanarin]

Krav+Nils would be ideal but the last thing the Avs need is an undersized RH defenseman.

I think signs are pointing to Strome resigning with the Rangers. Based on his performance, that makes a lot of sense to me. That also leads me to believe that Chytil is probably headed out, possibly in a deal for a young center.

You tell me which desirable young center is being made available by his current team (e.g. Newhook, Turcotte etc) and I’ll craft an offer that will get him here.

Would love to get MAF to be our 1B to Igor

Re-signing Strome is quite easily one of the worst decisions this franchise could make and locking long-term money into Mika and Strome as your top-2 centers as they go into their 30s with movement clauses is a death knell.

Just absolute stupidity from this franchise.

 

[nyr2k2]

I'd like a new third pair.

Is Schneider ready for a look? What about Jones? Feel like Jones definitely deserves a look.

Jones is 100% ready. Schneider is playing pretty well and strikes me as the McDonagh-type who is better against better competition.

I get cised for synergy.

I don’t want to rush Schneider. I want him to get at least 3/4 of a season down there. Maybe if we trade Lundkvist then he gets a look.

But I think we should get Jones a look sooner than later. Lundkvist continually getting NHL ice time feels very forced.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I think its unlikely we see much change from the 3rd pair, we signed nemeth longterm for some boneheaded reason and they could swap nils for schneider but its unlikely. I think an alternative is mixing up our pairs. Something along the lines of
Kandre-Fox, Nemeth-Trouba, and Lindgren-Nils might work better together all around.

 

[mas0764]

Not sure why a team would trade a young center prospect for Chytil, or why the Rangers would want to do that.

Too bad Chytil and Laf can't switch positions.

Nemeth has only 2 more years after this one. Not “longterm” and also very movable

And also since he doesn't get NHL ice time late in the game, so his lack of playing is also a detriment to his own development.

I would rather Nils get 22 minutes a night in Hartford. But I can understand with the team winning they are letting him stay up trying to show he is an NHL defenseman already and the blue chip prospect teams should be calling about, and not Zac Jones or Braden Schneider so that they can keep the latter while adding the Center they need for 2C

I go back and forth on this, but I don’t agree. Strome is going to give you value as long as he is with Panarin. He is putting numbers up and helping the team. It’s the Chytil spot that they need to upgrade. Chytil is still offering nothing and his line is the worst on the team. Who cares if Panarin is driving that line with Strome. Bread man loves him and you can bet away with the likes of Hunt, Blackwell, etc on that line. That says something.

Rangers have tried to get other centers and there obviously isn’t a deal there so keeping Strome is not the worst idea

 

[duhmetreE]

Do we start talking about moving Goodrow to make room for Strome? He's a solid player but he's nearly a $4M 4th liner.

If we can squeeze them in next season, it's always an option to move him to give Laf and KAM a bump in pay

 

[RGY]

Goodrow isn’t going anywhere.

I'm fine with that. I'd trade Chytil and Lundkvist for a cost-controlled young C.
