Wonder if he can be the solution to our 2C dilemma. He's actually won 100% of his faceoffs this year. That's the kind of guy you want for the end of games. Nils, Gauthier, and a 1st?

Why would Nashville trade this guy? Hes not a C but hes a good enough player that you deal for him and figure out the rest later.

It's all so tiresome
Panarin and Forsberg would be a dynamic combination
Forsberg to Rangers for Cbytil, Kravtsov, Lundkvist, 1st in 2022 get it done.

We’re spending almost all of our trade capital for a rental who plays the 1 position we don’t need to address?

If it were me, I would retain 50% on Georgiev and take back Koskinen. Gives Edmonton a different look in net and gives them a little bit of cap space going into the deadline. Would increase the return.

He probably has made it known that he won't sign an extension in Nashville, which I find surprising. I figured they'd move money elsewhere to try and keep him.
Either way, isn't he more of a left winger than a center? Either way #2, he's going to make $8 million+ on the open market. He's not a fit here.

I dont even know what a deal for Forsberg looks like. Nashville i would assume is looking more for guys who can help them now considering they are looking like a playoff team

He plays a position we do need to address. Forward.
UFA. Traded to get value instead of self renting which is always a bad move. Rangers should trade Strome if not signed by the trade deadline. It worked for Kreider

I dont agree with that at all. The on-ice value Strome/Forsberg provide to their teams down the stretch & in the playoffs is worth more than any future assets.

Why take a chance of losing the asset for nothing is always a bad move. Nothing is guaranteed. I bet Strome will be signed or traded like Kreider could have been if he didn't resign here.

Because the point is to try and win not to try and collect the maximum number of draft picks. Teams in the playoffs don't trade away top rentals. Forsberg is obviously an exception being an elite one, with high trade value, NSH being a borderline playoff team, and obviously they are aware he's not going to extend at a rate they are comfortable with.
Self rentals are inevitable. If there were none then no player would ever reach FA.

Strome isnt getting traded if hes unsigned. Brooks already confirmed as much. The difference with Kreider was that the Rangers werent a playoff team when they re-signed him

Vladimir Malakhov was 2/2 on faceoffs as a Ranger.

Id gladly trade a 1st & Kravtsov for Forsberg, not sure if thats enough for the Preds though.

Feel like if Igor goes down we are in trouble no matter what.
But I certainly would look to replace Georgiev with someone like Greiss or Halak. Fleury would never happen but he would be the ultimate 1B
