Value of: Brendan Lemieux

no thanks. Lemieux would make a soft Rangers team more soft. would have to be an overpayment from a Rangers point of view. awful proposal. JFK has thrown in value at this time

It would start at a first round pick.
Zero reason to even entertain moving him for less. He is that important to this team. So that proposal (a throw-in and a 4th) is terrible for the Rangers and an easy hang-up.

Nothing in that package is enticing enough to pull the trigger

That doesn't matter, since we have no desire to trade him.

That's sweet and all, but it has literally nothing to do with my post. Re-read and try again.

this does reflect the way things are
its not that Lemieux is an oh-my-god talent that requires a 1st round pick back
but the balance and edge he provides to the team is central to their game, and would be almost impossible to replace
so to convince NYR to give that up would require a seeming overpayment, an offer NYR could not refuse
OP is trying to construct a 'fair' 'hockey trade' but that does not reflect Lemiex's full value
AND even just considering his trade proposal,
its not enough to offer an older, defected wing prospect, who has not proven he is NHL worthy (or NHL bound) and a middling pick
its classic self-serving twisting of the message,
"we want and need this guy in our team, he will help us win playoff rounds" "
BUT he is "bottom-6" so we will offer only spare parts...
c'mon, you would laugh off a similar proposal if roles were reversed

You'd like to think so. But his skillset is fairly uncommon in the modern NHL. It just reminds me of that time my team gave up a 1st to get Ryan Hartman. Sigh. It happens.

Exactly. It's almost like some don't understand the concept of an over-payment being required.

Yep.
The only issue I see is that I don't view the OP's proposal to be fair regardless of Lemieux's full value or not. It's a pretty bad proposal, all things considered.

Exactly what I'd be looking at.
Quinn, fans love Lemiuex. He loves NY. Busts his butt every game, has just enough offensive IQ to get into position for rebounds and deflections.
With Kreider possibly outbound, we cant give up another LW as well.
I'd want DeBrusk or bust. Maybe we add a low level pick but not much else. Even then, I'm not comfortable, but could swallow it.
Pepe Jr has made a hone for himself in NYR in spite of his father's reputation.

Why in the world would the Rangers trade an improving/established 23 year old NHL 3rd liner for a regressing and struggling 23 year old who cant even hold his own in Europe and a throwaway pick. Rangers counter with Lias Andersson for that package

And that's why we're not moving him. His actual trade value is probably 2nd + Prospect. But unless it's a very good prospects offered, I don't think we need to move him yet. He's an RFA, so contract demands can play into settling for actual market value on him.

I don’t think that’s enough for Andersson.
