Unless they want to give us a discount on Brzustewicz in the off season now.
I posted the following on the Ranger board a little while back before the Memorial Cup host was announced:
Scenario:
-Saginaw is awarded the hosting duties.
-MM immediately goes into talks with Saginaw and the Brzustewicz clan.
-Henry Brzustewicz quietly makes it known that he’ll only play for Saginaw.
-Saginaw takes him in the 2nd round, the round he is currently ranked in (22nd).
-When the summer trade window opens, Rangers trade Hunter to Saginaw for the max return as they’d be getting a full year of his services.
The Brzustewicz clan is happy to have their brothers playing together. They’ll get a shot at winning a Memorial Cup. Saginaw is happy to have added a stud D for their run. The Rangers are happy as they’d be getting the biggest possible return in moving Hunter in the offseason instead of at the deadline
Then, to expand on these dealings with Saginaw, at the deadline, we move 1.5 years of Rehkopf to Saginaw for a massive package that would include the player they’ll take in the 1st round in this draft.
That gives Saginaw a stud sniper for their run who they can sell off in the next off season to start their rebuild.
That gives the Rangers a third player taken in the 1st round of this draft. Great way to start the rebuild!
I was just spitballing. But stranger scenarios have happened.
But Henry B is creeping up the rankings so we’ll see.
