Brooks Rangers Will be in on Patrick Kane

[RichieNextel305]

Quote

And yes, after raising the issue early last season, I will raise it again now and probably not for the last time: What is Patrick Kane’s worth as a rental to our Rangers after the hockey club was shut down four straight times by Tampa Bay?

 

No, Jonathan Toews does not enter the discussion.

Nemeth plus a 4th if his cap hit is under 3m.

 

great idea, turkey neck. 

[RangersIn7]

If they’re looking at the Hawks, is there a deal out there for Kane and Dach?

I dunno...throw in Georgiev, plus Hyek. One fo those Steve Somers overnight trades proposed by some agrophobe consisting of "my team gives your team all it's dregs for your superstar, totally irrespective of salary and the other team's needs". That was half of FAN's callers way back.

I made that trade in NHL ‘99 I think.

With 'forced trades' on as always, for intrigue.

[RichieNextel305]

Being discussed on NHL Network Radio. With DeBrincat now out, Chicago appears to be in a full rebuild and now speculation may begin on a potential Kane trade if he asks out. Rangers and Avalanche were two teams brought up who would have interest, but also who Kane would have interest in.

[RichieNextel305]

Brian Boucher on ESPN openly wondered about Kane and brought the Rangers up earlier.

 

I feel like any time his name is ever brought up, it’s with us. The fit is there. Squeezing him in may take work.

[josh]

Can’t give up the shut they’ll ask for. He’s a luxury with other needs. 
 

don’t go chasing waterfalls

Would essentially mean they're committed to Chytil as 2C. Kakko goes the other way. 

[RichieNextel305]

If you can grab a 2C, great. If not, I have no issues with Chytil centering Panarin and Kane.

[RichieNextel305]

He gone.

[josh]

Oh poor Sabres fans thinking he’ll only go there 

[RichieNextel305]

He wants to win. And he doesn’t strike me as a guy who would want to play in a small market.

 

I really think (and have thought) this might be the route Drury goes to fix the second line. I understand, the need is a center. But I would be completely fine giving Chytil a look in between these 2.

[josh]

There’s still an issue with no centers. Goodrow was a “back up c” that could take draws. They played mckegg because they didn’t have Cs  last season. No Strome, and now cap space going to Kane, it’s not about Chytil playing 2C, it’s about your 3C and 4C, and having little money to fill those holes. 
 

If goodrow is a full time C, you still need another guy that can shift to C if needed.

Don't think they traded 21 year old RFA Dach just to throw the Kane asset away for 21 year old RFA Kakko. I'd assume they'd want the rest of our draft 22 draft + 23 1st and Othmann

A big part of the depth chart problems the Rangers have right now is Drury trying to make Gorton's talent choices all fit.  We're still not far away enough from Gorton's departure for Drury to have anything like a free hand in assembling the roster.

 

The trade deadline was great last year but *all* of those guys are gone because they didn't fit under the cap structure that Gorton laid out and that is still driving the Rangers choices today.

 

Drury has to be pulling his hair out at some of the choices he is going to have to make this off-season and over the next couple until he's actually in the driver's seat with a roster of his own making.

 

Thinking outside the box is definitely going to help him but any move he makes could blow up in his face sooner rather than later.

Yea, Gorton shouldve used our #2 or #1 for a center. No question about it. Look at how the draft played this year. Everyone took what they needed instead of the expected #1.

Which often isn’t the best route. More often than not, teams do what the Rangers did which is take BPA and worry about what happens depth wise later. If Kakko and Lafreniere were both 35 goal scorers, no one would be caring right now. And for all we know, the teams that went after need over BPA may come back and regret it if Shane Wright turns into Patrice Bergeron 2.0.
