There is a reason he move available than all of those as well.
I wouldn't touch Galchenyuk. I might look at Reinhart but I would want Buffalo to add.
Buffalo may want to get quicker into contention to make Eichel happy, and probably have the worst LHD depth in the league.
Reinhart + 2018 1st for McDonagh I consider.
IMO they want and will pay for McD, but they do not want a 2 yr rental
it has to be a package that gives them a younger piece
-----------------
the last variant I had here was
McD at half [avoids taking back bad contract] + Zuc + 21OA
for
SReinhart + EKane + 8OA
2 conditional 4ths, 1 each for McD and Zuc, if either is not extending
that value has changed b'c Rein as an ELC was draft exempt, no longer applicable
I don't see how trading any more of the forwards for a defenseman makes any sense
Lindberg and Stepan gone in less than a week. You trade another forward (Kreider or Miller as Brooks was alluding too) for example, and now the forward depth that was a strength last year, is a weakness
They don't have the prospects ready yet to make that type of move
Larry is officially brain dead
it is, but one thing to consider, Hayes deal is up after this season, Rangers might want to commit more ice time to him and use this season again as more of a transition year tos ee what he can do with more ice time and better linemates before they judge what to do with him.
whatever we do w/Hayes long term, the smart move is to extend him, Miller and Zib for max term, volume discount driving down annual price.
we move Nash and in 2 ? yrs repurpose Hank for adds
