I don't understand why the Rangers never covet Centers. I'd be drafting a center almost every year unless there's a can't miss winger or defenseman

Kreider had like 5 goals in the playoffs joining the team right out of BC

Yeah but that was at the end of his D+3 season, he was drafted in 2009 - his playoff debut was 2012.

He went from college to the NHL playoffs, still impressive.

Let's say the Vatrano trade is the only move we make and we keep all our prospects and draft picks. How far up the draft could we move to draft a quality center?

Good ?, but moot to the extent we have other options to upgrade pivot.
Key, howev is not to squander valuable youth,
grateful Krav not yet dealt, but I am not confident Drury will do the right thing here.
Howev, until he's given away, he is not, and he's here. ...

The key is every so often a guy like LPD inexplicably becomes available. Key is to have assets and ability to create cap to strike if that option presents.
