Thank you. Here's what I see are full sides of your picture.

Kesler MAYBE can be had, at all.
Kesler may EVEN be had at reduced level due to damage from injury history.

There IS a chance he could be Drury 2.0, although I don't think, IMO, that that would be immediate. As best as I can tell, the recent issues are not overriding critical, like severe concussion. The immediate thing was the broken foot.

We have fortunate timing in that Kesler may be limited/no use to 'nucks this year.

We have unfortunate situation that even if Kesler does not play, or if at all is compromised, the likely area they will focus on is C. Regardless of Kesler being moved or not moved in any other deal with any other club, their primary focus will be IMO, will be another C.

The dynamic is not yet set in stone.

Kesler would be likely improvement/replacement for Stepan --- yes, there is some gamble, but unless/until Kesler gets major concussion, I think the risk is acceptable.

Of course, the upgrade to Kesler is not worth Gaborik, as well as the utility of Biron to facilitate moving Luongo now.

However, I tagged a HUGE + Van. would have to send back.
In addition to first, we'd want prospects. Do we think they have ANY prospects, prefer. a C, who could make this worthwhile moving forward?

In other words, we take the hit this year and move for next year we not only have Kesler to replace Stepan --- THAT'S ONE FOR ONE, so short term we are ok there --- but we also have ______ which improves us, hopefully at C as well

If we say to Van. we bail you out with Stepan today, what (2 Cs) will you give us for tomorrow (one of which is Kesler)?

When the trade deadline passes and Kesler is still a Canuck, and Stepan is still a Ranger, when there is no Rangers/Blackhawks trade involving Boyle for Olsen, when the Rangers don't trade Stepan for Yandle, etc., do us all a favor and use that moment as an opportunity to learn something that you probably should have figured out sometime ago: trade proposals aren't for you.

Time to put the trade proposals to bed, Bern. I'll send you a copy of NHL 13 if you want.
 
Rangers need depth. Acquiring Eriksson only makes sense if Gaborik is moved for two 2nd/3rd line players.

Eriksson is awesome, though. One of the best two-way players in the world right now.
 
Joe Nieuwendyk should be fired on the spot if he trades Loui Eriksson. What an awful move that would be. Other than Lundqvist, Callahan, and maybe McDonagh, there isn't a single player I wouldn't move from this team to get LE.

This is the guy that traded James Neal and Niskanen for Goligoski...

So, branching off of that, let's do MDZ for Eriksson and Brenden Dillon!

You'd put Callahan as an untouchable for Loui Eriksson, the most complete winger in the NHL and signed to a bargain contract? :help:

I would trade Gaborik for parts if we got Erikkson

With that said... Erikkson straight up for Mcdonagh?

Yeah, I'd do it. Eriksson has the best contract in the league and would become likely the team's best and most complete player. Maybe he can kickstart Richards again as they played on the same line when he was above PPG. Losing McD would suck, but we have the depth in LHD to still have it as a position of strength. Staal-Del Zotto-Skjei.
