I wouldn’t be upset if the Rangers traded Kakko or their 1st for him. Edited June 23 by BrooksBurner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read, he's a left wing who has played some center and right wing, but his natural side is the left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuddyInTheMiddle Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Seems like this should be a no-brainer for Drury to investigate. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5583575/2024/06/22/winnipeg-jets-rutger-mcgroarty-trade/ Do you think Kaako and a first round pick might be enough to get this done?

Phil Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Said it int he Kakko thread, and it's kinda hard not to cross streams, but I'd be offering Kakko + 30 for McGroarty + whatever offsetting pick value they think works. Preferably MTL 2nd this year since the Rangers don't have a 2nd for the next three years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) Quote The Jets need high-end youth outperforming their cap hits, whether on their first or second contracts. McGroarty could have become that, depending on his ability to adapt his dominant collegiate game to the professional ranks. Instead, the relationship between player and club doesn’t appear reparable at this time. Thus Winnipeg’s biggest hope lies in getting strong value from McGroarty via trade. McGroarty is a blue-chip prospect who’s held in great esteem around the NHL after finishing seventh in NCAA scoring as a sophomore and returning from a gruesome injury to captain Team USA to gold at the world juniors. He’s also a recent first-round pick who has spent two years progressing like you’d hope the No. 14 pick would progress. At 20, his future is far from known but his first two post-draft years have been a success. That has value. At the moment, Winnipeg doesn’t have a first-round pick in 2024. McGroarty could have appeal to any team that has a first-round pick to spare, including the teams who have multiple first-round picks Quote Those aren’t the only teams that could — or should — have interest in McGroarty, nor is it a guarantee that Winnipeg is seeking draft capital in exchange. McGroarty should be able to return an established player that can help the Jets Kakko + 30th checks a lot of boxes. Makes them whole in the 1st round + gives them a guy with some potential who can contribute now. They might be looking for someone with a little more term than Kakko though. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5584979/2024/06/24/rutger-mcgroarty-nikolaj-ehlers-winnipeg-jets/ Edited June 24 by BrooksBurner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
