I actually don't want to trade. I've said it before, I think it delays the inevitable. The core doesn't have the 'right stuff' to get it done. I knew the Rangers would start playing better. They were play below their talent. But I still hold the same opinion.
Not being negative for the sake of being negative. I am glad they are playing better. But future thinking, I want Drury to execute his plan and move forward. Not trade for a Miller and stagnate.

Drury has been after miller for years. I think he is part of his plan moving forward. He still has 5 more years on the deal lol

31 isn’t very old either. Listen no matter what Drury does, the majority will think he’s dumb. Every single time. The reality is he might be a genius

Imagine if Drury traded a player like Rantannen for that return. Yea Necas is good but he is a UFA in 2026. There are a lot of dumb GMs out there. Be careful what you wish for

Someone speculated that they need that specific pick back for an offer sheet to someone. If you think about it that might start being a trend where offer sheets go out much more often. But I’m pretty sure you need your own picks to do that

They might go after Bouchard because Edm might have cap issues and are prime for an offer sheet

Your reasoning hurts my brain sometimes!!

Yea but they stand to lose Rantanen for nothing in the offseason if they cant come to an agreement on a contract. Rantanen probably wants like 13m.

With the cap potentially going up by 9m, free agents are going to want a lot of money.

But they could also lose Necas for nothing in 1.5 years. If I am trading a top 10 player in hockey in his prime I want a good young player with at least 3-4 years of control. I don’t think Drury fits that bill

That trade isnt particularly too far off from a Brady Tkachuk for some sort of Chytil package.

This was someone elses speculation ya jackass!!

Reading is fundamental

Maybe, but they probably wouldnt make the trade if they didnt feel confident that they could resign Necas. They also have 1 more year of control so if theyre concerned, they bought themselves a year and can trade him next year.

Unless they resign Necas or trade him for a haul next season I think it’s an awful trade for Colorado. Players like Rantannen are rare and worth the money

Agreed, this deal swings the power rankings in favor of the Canes.

Looks good on paper but their goal tending is suspect.

We will see

Im sure we will find out at some point the reasoning for this, but you have to assume the discussions with Sakic were not going well. Players of Rantanen's caliber never get equal value.
