Let me guess, you want to add a 6 mil player by getting rid of two 3 mil players. And the. You also want to add Hanifin at 7. But you’ll figure that part out later.

Did I say anything about Hanifin?
Pay to get Giroux at 50%, move a depth forward to clear extra space.

I think the concern is that losing a winger is easier to deal with that losing a center. I can get on board with the logic.
The likelihood of getting hurt is no different based on the position, but the lineup can more easily sustain the loss of a winger so it might make sense to slot the risky player into the less important position to hopefully have a bit more certainty down the middle.

If I remember correctly, Drury was handpicked and being groomed by Sather who (by all accounts) can do no wrong in the eyes of The Dolt.

Drury also helped himself out by going on some very public interviews for GM positions around the league.
My bet (just my opinion) was that Drury got an offer and approached Sather and Dolan with it. Which made it even easier to get rid of JG and JD.
Penguins GM search update: Drury, Ferguson to interview with Pittsburgh
And Jason Karmanos is back in the picture!

Also... Not sure I'd you're aware. But Drury won a little league world series.

Dolan sucks!!!
Where are the Rangers finding this cap space? If Chytil does return before the trade deadline/regular season, the Rangers can't use his money on LTIR. It sounds like Kakko will be skating with the team in the near future. Kakko has been skating on his own. Laviolette said Kakko is progressing.
The trade deadline is on March 8. It's not that far away. The Rangers are running out time to accrue money.
I read all of these trade posts. Where is the money coming from with Chytil and Kakko returning? If Fli is out, the Rangers need to add a center because Bonino isn't the answer. Kakko should be back.
Mollie wrote about adding another winger. Does she listen to Larry on the pod when he discusses the Rangers cap situation?
Drury needs to add another D because Mollie's college buddy Zac Jones isn't the answer when something happens to the top 6 D.

He won't answer the bell, he'll run when he hears it. Already did when Trouba was on the hunt and he politely declined.
It's always good to "test the waters", but I seriously doubt Drury had any ideas about going elsewhere....I suspect Sather had his eye on him for GM as far back as his last season as a player....look at how quickly he flew thru the ranks -- in a mere 6 years he went from director of player development to GM & Pres.Drury also helped himself out by going on some very public interviews for GM positions around the league.

He's horrendous defensively, always has been. I hope that's not the target. Id' prefer to go find a guy who can play some harder minutes and transport the puck.

Idk why anyone would have interest in Sean Monahan. He's not good and is just as much of an injury risk as Chytil, if not more so. Doesnt move the needle at all.

I still see Gourde as the perfect fit. We need a middle6/3C. He's strong defensively and is tenacious.
Cost and cap is the problem. We'd need retention ( level varies depending on Chytil ). Retention would probably cost, when all said and done, a 1st. Maybe with some conditions?

With the assumption they will keep Chytil out for the regular season.

Sean Monahan isn't even good offensively. He's just bad at everything.

I hope this isn't our first solution to solve the Chytil problem

Red Wings 3-9-1 since Kane joined. 1 regulation win.

I love it just because I love the idea of Anisimov in Hartford.
Seems unlikely, but having a veteran depth center in the organization, especially with Chytil out, isn't a negative.
