To Anaheim - Pavel Buchnevich, Carter Savoie
To Edmonton - Rickard Rakell 50% retained
To NYR - Isac Lundestrom, Oilers 2021 1st, Oilers 2022 2nd
Edmonton can easily be swapped out here for whichever other teams would be willing to give up a 1st and a couple B assets for Rakell at 1.9M. Considered also using Manson for this portion of the trade.
If Buchnevich is available, he represents the type of player Anaheim needs to be looking into. He's proving he can produce and he's young enough to commit to long term. It's difficult to give up a young NHL center with upside in Lundestrom, but the Ducks top 6 could use at least one more sure thing.
From the Rangers side, I read a couple comments that a cheap young center who could slide into a 3C role, would represent at least one of your needs. Lundestrom is a strong and competitive, in the very least will round out as a solid character center. He's still sort of finding his identity on the offensive side, remains to be seen whether he can grow into top 6 type production. Sam Steel was another consideration but I thought Lundestrom offered more value at this point.
Again I was sort of operating under the notion that there might not be enough long term money to give Buchnevich a big extension, hence the offering of cheap young assets. But if its rather a case of the Rangers needing to spend that money on other needs (have read that a top four D upgrade would be one of them), would there would any chance that a Fowler/Buch trade could be possible?
