I like Lindgren, he’s not untouchable though and if I was running the team he would not get an extension in two years.

Just comes down to multiple factors. Style of play, LD prospect depth, and of course the deal itself

Has to be posturing unless they have a line on a cap compliant G to lead them in the playoffs for a 4th

Lindgren is overrated on this board, love the guy but chychrun is a far better player

Eh, I don’t know that I agree that he’s overrated. Is Chychrun the better overall defenseman? Probably. But they absolutely need guys like Lindgren. Look at the value Trouba adds just by playing physical and imposing in the defensive zone. Lindgren does the same stuff.

Maybe if/when Robertson can prove he’s ready for top 4 minutes, they think about moving on from Lindgren. But his contract makes him hard to move from too. You can easily slide him down to the 3rd pair if his play slips and Robertson/Miller/Chychrun (if we get him) earn more important minutes.

I also think his contract lines up perfectly with Robertson’s timeline. Get him in the lineup starting next season, bigger role the following season, then Lindgren’s contract is up.

Deflect all you want, but Lindgren is a 23 y/o with a LOT of miles on him & plays a different position. I love the kid, but he's not comparable to Kreider at all. And I was never someone who said Kreider wouldn't age well.

In my opinion there is no way the team is better w Lindgren gone and Chychrun in his place

Chychrun is Yandle 2.0. He wouldn’t play PP1

the Kings will get him anyway. That makes sense

Trading Lindgren is a great idea.

His value will never be higher.
He's super overrated, although a good top 4 d
He's getting paid only a mil and a half less than chychrun
He plays a style of hockey that ages poorly

. Completely disagree. Plus that trade package is way too much

Not to be rude but this completely wrong. Chychurn is a much more complete two way player than Yandle was.

The only thing the two have in common is they play for the Coyotes

I think the question is where does Chychrun slide in? His role would indeed be reduced here. So the point I think being made if you are giving up a physical defensive minded DMan, a different player element to the team makeup, for a guy who is more offensive minded but wont be in a predominant offensive role with PP1 minutes.

I like Chychrun, but only if we are keeping Miller and Lindgren. Everyone slots down.

Chychrun-Fox
Lindgren-Trouba
Miller-Schneider

If they get Chycrun, they aren’t breaking up their 1st pair D atm that’s proven and have chemistry together.

they would likely run Chycrun-Trouba for more minutes a game with the way trouba is playing this season.
Tbh I think Robertson makes an ideal partner for Fox, but not for a while. When he’s ready, then maybe they drop lindy in the line up to reduce some wear and tear on his body.
I doubt he’s traded. Physicality is an important part of the type of D play they want going fwd.
Atm, lindgren, Trouba, and Schneider fit that bill.
Fox will be Fox

are you including Lindgren in a Chychrun deal ?

if you want to focus on Lindgren it’s simple
Rangers need physical D. Lindgren , Trouba , Schneider

Miller is Atleast a big body

there’s no way Lindgren is traded unless a guy like Roberson plays amazing in a few years

Jones or Lundkvist are offensive assets and one likely goes W Fox getting all his minutes

Personally I haven't seen Chycrun play enough to form an opinion. My initial comment was slanted more toward the issue of Fox/Lindgren & Strome/Panarin being married to one another. I'm not actively looking to move Lindgren, but if we can acquire an upgrade at his position, he should be moved down in the lineup regardless of his friendship status with Fox. With that said, I'm not opposed to moving him in the right deal for the reasons I stated. I do not think his undersized body can sustain his style of play long term.

I’m not advocating trading Lindgren I’m just saying if we can upgrade on him you do it.

Let’s hope so for their sake otherwise it doesn’t appear they are very serious about fixing their problems. I’m not saying Georgiev is worth a first or whatever but just from a neutral observer perspective they are going to need to give something of value to get a goalie here.
 
I would think the Rangers would be intrigued by Hayton a bit. He's a center and he played with Lafreniere at the WJC for Canada and they played really well together. In saying that, the most I'm offering for Chychrun is:

Chytil + Kravtsov + 1st for Chychrun + Hayton

Take it or leave it. No Schneider. No Lundkvist. No Othmann. If they want Nemeth, they can have him.

That’s a Dcore that is very good
 
One wouldn't trade Lindgren to add Chychrun. You trade Nemeth and Georgiev and that covers the whole salary. You also trade chytil and Goat for more salary room.

Either way, there is no real confirmation past the typical throw the Rangers on it for clicks so I'll believe it when I see it. Should focus on getting Lekhonen and with panarin on line 1, look more closely at the likes of Copp, Roslovic, Hertl, Hintz?, Stephenson? etc.
