If we trade Mcdonagh we should go into a complete rebuild. Which is pretty hard to do with Hank, Shatty, Zucc etc. I think we would be best off with either trading for a top 6 center to help us get a better chance at getting into the playoffs or just play it out and hope Chytil and Lias Andersson are ready next season to play in the top 6 and top 9. If they are we are easily a playoff contender with this team and those two players ready for top 6 and top 9 minutes.
Make this year a transition year, get a high pick in the draft and keep building a team that can be competetive going forward.

The Rangers has a chance to trade McDonagh this summer. It’s too late now.
They had an easy path to a rebuild but not signing Smith and Shattenkirk, and trading McDonagh.
They decided to keep trying to contend and now they are stuck in win now for two more years.
To move McDonagh they would need more than Calgary gave for Hamonic.

You stated the exact reason the Habs will never have McDonagh play with them.
I'm a Habs fan and I'm sure the Rangers wouldn't want anything from our team for McDonagh (1. we got rid of Sergachev 2. we don't like each other 3. Habs prospect pool? Hah!).

Great, we're gonna see tons of Rangers trade proposals now.
McD won't be actively shopped or moved for less than a king's ransom, so probably won't be. He's more valuable to us as both a leader/captain and our top defenseman moving forward, along with Skjei and obviously Shattenkirk being kept. IF we do go into a rebuild, it'll depend on what moves we CAN make this year or over next Summer, where we draft (if the player is NHL ready or very close, for example), progress from Chytil and/or Andersson + Pionk, Graves, or Bereglazov and of course when our stud goalie prospect is coming over and how he adjusts to the NHL.
So the "window" with Hank, to me, is definitely closed. But our window as a team isn't. Just like I said at the beginning of the season, we're either a top 5 in the East or a fringe/bubble team. Being 1-5 already in this tough division/conference means we're very likely already the latter and we're a key injury or two away from being a bottom 10/lottery team. Seriously. That's just logical analysis. So as with that, the same goes for the window. A few key moves, some good picks progressing nicely and our goalie coming over and being good out of the box... we'd be right back in it next year or the year after and still have a prime McDonagh, Skjei and Shattenkirk, with the latter used in the proper role of PP specialist and offense driver.
Our GM is good. I believe in his ability to right the ship rather quickly, but it really does depend on what's out there. If it's at all possible he will do it. If it's not, I don't see him making dumb moves to try to win while sacrificing our future further. They proved that this Summer, even with the D signings, yes. Middle of the road for us is already impressive vs. just WIN WIN WIN. I trust him to be smart and I'm cool with many different paths. I'm also fine with losing this year since I kind of half expected it anyway. More fun to see how new guys progress here and elsewhere.

He does have a modified trade clause that lists 10 teams he would not be willing to accept a trade to.
He'll have just turned 30 when he hits UFA in the summer of 2019.

That Puljujarvi, 1st, 2nd deal is probably the best one you'd get. Add that to what the Rangers got for Stepan and Raanta and that's a pretty good start to a rebuild
