Why not, Patch is playing for Canadian national team and won gold medals the recent years, and those youngsters won`t help this team to win a cup this year in 2018. And if I remember correctly our president moved A. Duclair earlier for similar reason even though Glen Sather is not his job, but he still has a a major role in this franchise as a president. And he usually likes to gamble to try to get that cup before he retire!
edit; I doubt any of this will happen though - just a scenario both Chytil & Lias is more likely Rangers next year training camp!
At least that`s my wish.
*And patch had 0 goals against us last year playoffs!
