Is that really who NY should be targeting?
Not to mention hed probably cost more than hes worth considering hes a big part of Seattle's current roster.
Rangers should move assets for a legit, proven 2C. Thats whats take them to another level, mainly at 5v5 (still cannot believe that Buchnevich deal)

Who you trading away to make cap space for him?

Gourde's signed for 3 more years after this, I can't see Seattle moving their best/only long term center for anything short of an absolute overpayment.

It would obviously take futures and an offer Seattle couldn't pass up considering how much they value Yanni for the next few seasons. Between what it would take and cap space I don't see how it works for NYR. You've got to assume this means Gourde is #2 for NYR going forward, so you'll eliminate Strome's cap next year, but the cost on assets is going to hurt.

for all of the above, no to OP
if the right fit happens at a cost too good to pass up, fine.
Clickbait narratives that NYR are desperate for help are wrong.
Like everybody else besides LAK we could use a quality C prospect, but that is about it and only at a cost that fits in otherwise.
NO to adding vets
NYR salary delicately balanced and ok going forward
Fox 9.5 added next yr eats all of Strome + Geo +
so repeat after me
WE CAN NOT ADD ANY SALARY VIA VETS UNTIL TROUBA IS MOVED
so everybody that is not discussing cap neutral/cap saving to NYR,
pls stop
or bern will have to call out
technically true
but I prefer we work this internally instead of outside add
assuming Krav is shelved in KHL til late...
Good - Zib - Panarin
LaF - Chytil - Gauthier I want credit for calling this line since last yr
Kreider - Barron - Kakko
Reaves - Rooney - Hunt
sell high on Strome + Geo now to max returns

Rangers aren't selling Strome off unless they start a big losing streak. The organization wants playoffs right now. The selling high on Strome won't happen unless the team spirals downward in the standings.

Rangers had their chance to get Gourde before the expansion draft. That ship has sailed.

Yes.
I'm pretty sure the joke is that NYR don't have to trade someone to make the cap space room becuase they already have it thanks to the Marc Staal trade.

Not really. Hes had one team hes ever been 2C on.. and thats Seattle
he was the 3C with extremely cushy matchups in Tampa
hopefully GMCD is smart enough to connect the dots and do the math
stop w/bs of self rental, which wastes a pick return
there is zero hope of keeping him next year esp since Fox extension is not gonna happened, it has happened and is real.
Accordingly it is a huge waste to just keep him and then let him walk.
bend, buckle and break to that reality.

Donskoi 50% retained (1.9m for 2 years) for Kravtsov + 2022 2nd? The framework is based off the Coleman trade to Tampa, Kravtsov the better prospect than Foote so the pick goes from a 1st to a 2nd. Donskoi would be a very good middle 6 RW for the next two years. Seattle needs to get some futures because the present isn't working.
