Seravelli in the post-skills interview saying because of how thin the market is and because of how much teams are paying for rentals, we might see a lot more players with term getting traded. He casually mentioned Boone Jenner in that interview which gets me intrigued.

Once Henrique gets traded you’d think that’s when the term guys start getting traded. Because he’s the last rental center worth anything for the most part

Jenner seems unlikely because of JD and the same reason Mtl trades seem far fetched (catty b!tchy men). But man that would one heck of an acquisition

You know Schneider is going in that deal if it happens because of JDs reaction to drafting him. Fine by me, he would be the perfect 3C for this team and below market cap for 2 more seasons. Kakko can go too.

I thought I was all alone on this maybe Tom too

I saw a Flyers writer suggest Kakko for Frost as a possibility. Not sure if would it be one for one tho.

They do happen to make the exact same amount on the cap, 2.1…so maybe that’s a thing

You gotta give to get!! No way I’d trade him for an expiring contract, but Jenner plugs a massive hole in the lineup. Rangers then essentially need an entirely new bottom pair, and a top line RW which would make this a pricey deadline. But if they do, now we’re back in the conversation of being contenders again.

The thing with Frost is he has another year at 2.1m whereas Kakko’s contract is expiring. I think most here would be happy with a youth for youth trade, filling the 3C role. However we fill one hole and make another hole even bigger at RW.

So the Rangers once again trade for a 30+ player for younger players and now need to trade for a 1st/second line RW (Costly) and bottom pairing Defense men.

If this team then poops the bed in the first round, we will be back to the stone age...Again

Id try to do a 1st and a prospect for Jenner, JD be damned. If that doesnt work, I call Barry Trotz and see if Sissons or Novak or both is (are) available. I, personally, would be trying to fill the 3C hole without trading any of the young players we have unless a young player is part of the return.

Rental RWs are fairly plentiful tho. You figure Tarasenko would then be 100% to be acquired, and you get one other guy for the 3rd line.

I dont think we are going to see anything on the Rangers front until Feb 10th, when we inevitably get Tarasenko back.

But that hole was always needed to be filled, regardless of Kakko, trading him means theres a hole at 3RW also. Then you end up with like a 6 player turnover on a team with 2 months left in the season to get them all on the same page.

The biggest hole is 3C. It will literally cost us any chance at a cup. It has to be filled

3C and 1RW is virtually impossible to acquire without giving up something that creates another hole. So then you look where the rental market have alot of guys, and to me it’s RW.

There will be turnover and it’s chance you have to take sometimes and they’re aren’t mailing in the season that’s for sure so it’s gonna happen

I agree it has to be filled, but not at the cost of essentially turning half the squad. We have literal cones in the lineup, any consistent decent player is already better than what we have now. Im with you, I want the Jenner, Sisson, Henrique, but Im not willing to pay the over inflated cost because the market is so bare.

Lindholm and Monahan are off the market early, GMs see what the price is. A couple more will probably play ball. However the earlier all these trades get done, the fewer teams there will be lining up to make a trade come March 8th. As much as people here dont want to wait, waiting could be our biggest card to hold onto.

That’s why to me sissons makes the most sense. Because I don’t think he’d cost Kakko or Schneider, or anyone overly painful. Perhaps it’s a first rder but I think we should be willing to do that at least

Laughton too. Him and sissons are very similar in a lot of areas. Cap hit included.

Maybe Hayes but he’s a bit more on the cap

Those 3 tho. I think that should be our targets to avoid trading anything to crazy

Id easily be willing to give a 1st for Sissons because hes under contract for a very good cap hip, hes as consistent as it gets putting up 30 pts, good on faceoffs, physical, good defensively.

Fills the plug at 3C for two more years after. Senko takes care of 1RW. All thats left is cleaning up the 4th line and depth on the team.

He really does make all the sense in the world, and playing under Lavy previously makes it even more sensible

Just don’t know if they’re still married to him. They have so many centers so it’s possible

If we can scoop Sissons and Trenin from Nashville, I think that would, for the most part, along with Tarasenko, take care of our holes for forwards.

Yea I’d be down for Trenin too

Nashville has a bunch of guys we could use tbh

As far as the turnover concerns, which I get, maybe it’s wise to get two guys from the same team, or even 3. Fill all the holes in one stop so it’s easier and more comfortable to acclimate themselves into a new team

In a microscope, Id take Sissons, their 4th line and bottom D pair.

Sissons, Trenin, Smith, Lauzon and Carrier/Fabbro. Although Lauzon's defensive metrics arent great, gotta love the 200 hits going into the all-star break.

Lauzon has a record for hits now I think. Like most ever at the all star break in pretty sure

I had a cf ready recently:

Sissons, Trenin and Carrier (50%) for Schneider and probably a draft pick I’d think

Again, Im not crazy about trading Schneider, however if Schneider is who is moved, Id rather have Fabbro instead of Carrier. Hes younger and we would retain his rights.

I’d like to get evangelista from them too lol I’ve raided that roster a few times

Any chance Nashville would retain 3 years on McDonagh? Miller would have to go in that trade tho. McDonagh makes 6 something million but it just a thought as I looked at the preds
