Schneider and a 2nd go along also and the Rangers get back Adam Ruzicka. This is a week old though. Rumor broke on January 4th. Looks like BS rumor mill. There's also the same guys going to the Ducks for Zegras even after the broken ankle. Edited January 13 by Br4d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s zero legitimacy behind the hacks writing that stuff. The Rangers would be stupid to do that trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting though that the proposed trades both involved Kakko, Schneider and a 2nd. Probably one guy picking up off of another but it shows where the Ranger's perceived issues and strengths lie. It seems fairly likely the Rangers will trade a young d-man by the deadline. That's where the relative depth on the team is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 I don’t see that happening at all. We trade from our blue line, and we go into the playoffs with Zac Jones receiving meaningful ice time. That isn’t a recipe to win a Cup. And yeah, that rumor is taking with not a grain of salt but an entire truck full of salt. That site is a bunch of BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your thinking behind the notion that we have young defensive depth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your thinking behind the notion that we have young defensive depth? Relative depth. No depth at Center. No depth at RW. Filling either of those with a real player would be worth giving up a 3rd pair d-man. BTW, one thing that we're not talking about yet but might be a good move is trading a rental for a rental. Gustafsson might be very attractive to a contender that need a top 4 LD (or RD since he has done that also) and has a 2nd tier vet RW who is on an expiring contract.

KK value will never be lower. I just don't think it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So trading Kakko, who plays a position of need, and a decent young 3rd pairing RD for a better 3rd RD? And a 2nd round pick on top to get a run of the mill bottom 6 C? It makes zero sense. I don’t see in what world the Rangers need a defenseman upgrade right now. If there is a trade involving Rangers defense, I imagine it will be to downgrade in exchange for forward. Example: Schneider for a young mid 6 center with similar upside. A mid pick for an OK RD to play with Gus. That’s trading from strength to fill a need.

Laviolette may feel that he needs a really solid RD right now to pair maybe with Lindgren for when he needs guys out there who are going to do what it takes to shut down the opposition in the DZ. Lindgren is the only guy I feel really comfortable with on defense right now when defense is what you are looking for. Remember that Laviolette doesn't think as much in terms of lines as of roles.
