It's crazy to think that Shattenkirk wouldn't help. Obviously there are other moves that need to be made to further help the cause, but I'd definitely be happy getting Shatty as a UFA next year.
Is saying that it doesn't make sense to trade one of our few good young players for a defenseman who really makes no difference for us? He's a great player, but the Rangers with or without Shattenkirk are a bubble playoff team, but certainly not a contender.
The Rangers with or without Shattenkirk will be the worst team in the Metro within 3 years.
Rangers fans overrate Kreider like Blues fans overrated Perron.
No they don't.
The ranger fan knows what Kreider is.
It is the potential that he still possesses that gives us pause in trading him.
IF he ever put it all together, he would be a monster. He has shown flashes of it.
It is not overrating- like saying the Blues wouldn't trade a a top prospect for any Ranger including McD- that is overrating and a bit delusional.
Kreider is worth the chance he turns out unless it is a very lopsided offer.
Would Nash and Klein for Shattenkirk be fair? Klein can replace Shattenkirk on the second pair (not nearly as good, but fills the spot) and is underpaid by about 2M which offsets some of Nash's high salary.

I most certainly would like to see a replacement that is better than Bortuzzo, but that can be found for cheap via FA or trade.No and Blues don't need a replacment. That's the sole reason they are looking to move Shattenkirk. Colton Parayko is taking the 2nd pairing spot and 3rd pairing will be Bortuzzo
I'd rather it be Stepan than Kreider. He is more of a need and probably a better player.
If we're trading Stepan it's to get younger.
Shattenkirk does nothing for the Rangers. But to be fair there are very few players who do anything for us.

I love Shattenkirk but I have very little interest in moving top 6 forwards for a player AV is going to play on our 3rd pair. .Fire the clown behind the bench first, and we'll talk
I can understand that, thought maybe with Brassard and some other guys like Miller and Hayes it might be an option. It's 2C for #2/3D both probably a 6.5M cap hit so I thought it might work. I can see why the Rangers would not wanna move Stepan.
Stepan has more value than 1 year of Shattenkirk. Stepan might even have more value than an extended Shattenkirk at the same cap hit (as Stepan, 6.5 per).
Why should the Rangers pay up for Shattenkirk when they could just wait it out until he hits free agency next summer? Sorry Blues fans, but Armstrong isn't in the driver seat here. You won't like the return unless you can get it from Boston, Montreal, etc.
What about then.......
