Doesn't make sense, Lightning would be looking to add to a D-corps that included Sergachev most likely.

For sure. I'd be much more interested in a Toronto offer though if it came to trading McD.

You sure about that?
“So you watch the Rangers every night, pick apart every flaw, and inevitably reach the no-brainer conclusion that a Cup is out of the question and that pending free agents Rick Nash, Michael Grabner and Nick Holden must be bartered for futures while potential 2019 UFA’s Ryan McDonagh and Mats Zuccarello should be aggressively marketed as well.”
I’ll add: he’s also not wrong. If you get a Sergyachev or Marner for McD, do you do it? I’d say it’s a no brainer on Sergyachev. Marner is a pretty damn close call too, and I’m leaning yes.
I think we should be frisky and move him for the right deal in a bidding war like Brooks mentioned in his article. Gorton is in an unique and kind of new situation for us Rangers end of this season with many options - so I`m excited what is going to happen!

A McDonagh for Sergachev + deal would make A LOT of sense for both teams. That’s the type of player that would need to be coming back for McDonagh and that’s a team primed to compete right now

If he were to resign at that I'm fine with for 3 years that's good for us

In no way shape or form would I want MCD anywhere near Tampa. f*** Tampa and the horse it rides in on..

Better for the now, I agree. I just don't think the club is wise to keep the aging asset. Get something in return before you can't. Looking at some of the players drafted 16th through 30th in past years. Instead the Rangers pass up on them for the aging asset and the chance for the now. I just don't see the chance for the now as being the move anymore.

Yeah not a fan of McDonagh going to Tampa
And I'm not entirely sold on Marner. I don't think he is bad by any means though
I don't know what the course is here

I don't think it'd be a stretch to say that Sergachev on his ELC is probably more valuable to Tampa than McDonagh is. They have their horse on the blueline already in Hedman and plenty of talent up and down the lineup. Marner would be a pipe dream as well, I'd have to think. Brooks' valuations are always way off.

I know Tampa has a good prospect pool, but who would be considered their best forward prospects?
LeetchisGod
This is a bad hockey team.
Adding a skilled right handed shot like Marner to our young forward core is highly appealing. Depends what else we could extract from Toronto.

Howden probably
First round pick for them in 2016
Either him, Raddysh, or Cirelli
So he can log 4th line minutes while AV feeds some plug meaningful minutes.

You’re right, they’re not. That’s why every time we recircle the trade McDonagh wagon, it always seems unpalatable.
