They probably can't afford to sign him if he does put up another 25+ goals. The best they can do is hold out until trade deadline and hope Grabner keeps up the pace to maximize his value. Then they have to deal with A) Lose him for nothing if they're in the playoff picture, or B) Trade him for the best offer.
I like this guy. I like his goals. I like his play... I like his value. Let's trade him.They probably can't afford to sign him if he does put up another 25+ goals.

Why would they trade either without massive overpayment? They are both young and fit the core.Larry Brooks said Kreider and Miller are not going anywhere per a source within NYR org.

What would Rangers fans realistically want for Grabner?
I think I'd throw him in our top 6 tbh, but I agree he makes a ton of sense. Team could desperately use a speedy Cy Young winger. Either throw him on RNH's wing RW or on McDavids and put Drai on RNH's wing since they seem set on keeping RNH at centre (and given his FO% this year thats probably a good thing).Grabner makes a ton of sense for the Oilers. Wouldn't command a ton, our bottom six stinks, and outside of McDavid our team speed is pretty meh.
Other sources say a Grabner + Nash for something or Miller + Kreider for something.
Miller is not going anywhere, so for a Grabner + Nash trade what could come in return?
No interest from Edmonton's side. While I like Mika, I think he's a definite downgrade on Draisaitl and Edmonton isn't looking to downgrade either of their star players. There's really very few scenarios where I could see management entertaining the idea of moving Leon.Mika Zibanejad with 17 pts so far + B. Smith + 1st in 2019 for Leon D. thoughts?

yeah tempting to put Ryan Mc. in there, but then we are kind of rebuilding and Oilers need to add +1st.Replace Smith with an actual stud defensemen and then that phone call only gets you hung up on, not blocked.

Hopefully all season because I have him in fantasyYeah I understand that - Mika on ppg race, but I don`t know for how long to be honest.

whats your definition of "wouldn't command a ton" ???
McDonagh's UFA status and the fact he's a left hander make him not so appealing that we'd give up an extra 1st I'd imagine. Your 1st in 2019 isn't all that appealing anyway as a (hopeful) contender.
Zib, Zucc and McD for Draisaitl and a small plus is probably closer.

You're not getting a 1st, Jones, Bear, Mantha, Puljujarvi, Benson, Yamamoto, or any impact current NHLers for Grabner.
Maybe a 2nd in 2019 but even that's a stretch. Think a 3rd rounder.
