I don’t think they are moving him but I’d definitely be interested.
Is never going to live up to his draft position but can be a damn fine 3rd liner

I'm pretty sure he's been on and off their trade block for awhile. They might value him decently because of his draft pedigree but I don't think he's untouchable at all. They've also lost 10 out of their last 13 games.

I don't think we're good trading partners but I think he'd be a good fit for us.

Robertson looks so much better when he has a play making C like he did last night with Domi. Problem is, I don’t think Domi is a long term fit at C. I still think Granlund would be an incredible boost to the offence. Robertson-Granlund-Nylander could be a 90 goal line, 3rd line.

Knies — Matthews - Domi
Patches - Tavares - Marner
Robertson- Granlund - Nylander
Lorentz - Minten/Holmberg - McMann

Reaves, Jarnkrok, Kampf waived/traded.

I've been amongst the biggest Robertson fans up until this year... but let's pump the brakes a little. He had one good game, and needs to back it up a little more than that, for us to gift him a roster spot the rest of the year... in particular given you've banished McMann to the fourth line. To me, it was McMann who drove that line last night, and was really making things happen.

Rangers have royally sucked in the first rounds with guys like Lias Anderson, Kravtsov, Kakko and even Lefrenierre who looked good last year but has largely been very underwhelming.

In the fantasy world of Granlund.
Not sure I support the proposed line-up, but to play along ...

Knies - Matthews - Domi
Pacioretty (1) - Tavares - Marner
McMann - Granlund - Nylander
Lorentz - Minten - Holmberg

Robertson in the deal for Granlund ...

Reaves, Jarnkrok, Kampf waived/traded ... more fantasy Cap manipulations.

1. Healthy Patches might be an apt pseudonym.


Considering the Robertson - Domi - McMann line worked, why change it.

I think the key player on the line is McMann, not saying the best, saying key. He skates, has size, hands, and courage.

Personally i would prefer Gourde to granlund and get something like

Mcmann-Matthews-Domi
Pacioretty-tavares-Nylander
Knies-Gourde-Marner

Personally i prefer someone with more grit especially in playoff because the way you score in playoff is by winning your battle, driving the net and fiving up everything you have and i not sure you will get it with Granlund.

Boy, has Shane Wright ever come alive in the last five games. Six points in his last five games.

Dickinson is interesting as well. At least he has a contract next year, and wouldn't be a pure rental.
