DeAngelo is on pace for 60 points and also looked good last season. I prefer to keep him on the Rangers. He fits in so well on this team.
One, the Rangers have zero need to add any defenseman. Their system is freakin loaded with them. Two, Virtanen sucks. I mean, is Buffalo ever gonna win or just waste Eichel's entire career. I'm thinking DeAngelo, Fast and Andersson for Cozen's and a 2021 first. Buffalo needs to do something now.
It’s not a video gamewhy can't he be LD and the rangers looking for a young RD.
Learn your teams own system. Lundkvist is dominating against men. He will replace DeAngelo.
He asks for a Lhd and you offer a Right Handed dman who plays identical to Diangelo yet worse....Sami Vatanen + 3rd?
Put the plus on the wrong guy my bad!Plus eh

I've posted about Zadorov being the guy for the Rangers before, I have zero interest in trading DeAngelo and would rather move Trouba when the time comes, or Fox. I think DeAngelo is our best defenseman. Who do the Rangers have that you'd be interested in in exchange for Zadorov?Zadorov is the player you want. Big, tough and young. He’s also a good skater with a decent shot. Expansion Draft could leave him exposed. Willing to trade and retain, but not for another DMan. AVs are loaded already in that position.
Offer some prospect Wingers and/or DeAngelo to flip and there might have a deal.
Having a lot of young left handed defensemen doesn’t equal top four NHL D. Skjei is 25 years old. This is close to as good as he’s going to get. He is what he is. Hajek looks out of place in the NHL, Lindgren has played well, but he’s one player and he’s not some huge potential LHD that can carry the left side.
The Rangers need talent and talent quickly on that left side. We can’t even start discussing contending for a playoff spot until that left side is fixed. If you are waiting for prospects who’ve not played in the NHL, you are talking 2-3 years at earliest, and it might not happen with this group of players. These aren’t exactly prodigies. If I can get a similar caliber player in exchange for DeAngelo on a cheap contract, I’m taking it and I’ll even throw in a few prospects to make the contract cheap. That is not accelerating a rebuild to try to acquire players that can help us contend in a few years.
I think the RD/LD stuff is overrated and the RHD is tougher to come by. In any event the moves will be determined by expansion draft needs.
Sometimes I wonder about you.3 NYR will protect = Trouba, and b'c of elcs, Hajek ]who has not looked lost] and Lindgren.
DeAngelo MUST be traded tho it does not have to be immediately.
We do not need LD.
Ideal would be Chytil and DeA +++ for Seider + DET 2020 1st +
b'c that = futures expansion exempt
DeA won't go coke for pepsi.
He will get commensurate premium recognizing he has arrived, is rfa, and is a righty. Will not get ridiculous overpayment.
He will likely get best return in a package.

Sometimes I wonder about you.
Why on earth would we be looking to move Chytil? With ADA? For a 1st and a guy who has not played 30 seconds of NHL hockey? How about instead of talking coke v Pepsi, we stop going 2 steps forward and trying to trade it for 3 steps backwards.
That's an insane proposal. Why does DET do that? They are rebuilding and that 1st could be a franchise player.

If Colorado's trying to go all in, I know you guys were interested in Kreider at the draft.
AVs and NYR are good trading partners. They have no interest in DeAngelo and can retain on Zadorov to make this work. Combination of player + prospect could make this work.
AVs wanted Kreider, but the surprising strong play of Burakovsky doubtful they’re still interested unless to be on the 3rd line. This also eliminates his interest in extending.
Maybe a package of
Lemieux + Robertson
for
Zadorov (50% retention)
