Im not sure I would either but its just funny how things change from last year when he wasnt worth much. Personally if he gets traded its in the offseason in a package for a C upgrade. Theyll use these years as leverage to try to up sell him.

Been preaching it for a while. It would be silly to move on from Strome until there's a better option available to be his replacement. Even if we scoop up a prospect that projects to be our 2c of the future, it's going to take time. Only way they move on from Strome is if they make a splash and seriously upgrade, which is totally possible.

Especially since Chytill and Howden are struggling at the center spot. We would be going into next year with maybe only Zib

I havent seen him play but Barron has 7g 3a in 12gp. So we might have something here.

Young player with Quinn...yea maybe we see him in 2024

I dont think so. The Rangers window will open in 2-3 years. As we have seen with our forward group develop, we dont trade a top defense man for picks that will not be ready for another 4-6 years. If we trade any of our top D prospects, it has to be for a center of the same caliber.

I am advocating trading one of our surplus D ( not Miller ) to get a young center to address the hole we have in the middle...

Just because their not the top of the heap like Nils and Schneider, doesn't make Zac Jones, Matthew Robertson, and Tarmo prospects teams won't want. I think those guys could be included in a package to get the coveted C.

Think about when we traded Mac to TB. Hajek was the player we ended up with, Sergachev was their top D prospect at the time.

Another player who should be included in that "really good prospect, but just below the top" is Pajuniemi. As a RW, it's going to be really tough to crack the big club roster. He's killing it in Finland's pro league. Needs to be signed though.

The problem is packaging a bunch of B/C+ prospects wont get you an A prospect. Quantity trades rarely ever pony up. Were gonna have to give up a A-/B+ prospect to get that A prospect.

You're proving my point

Those guys I listed, especially Zac Jones and Matthew Robertson, are most definitely A-/B+ prospects. They're not viewed that way by Ranger fans because A)We naturally undervalue our own players and B)Have legit A+ prospects ahead of them.

I wasnt saying they werent. Zac Jones is definitely our next tier A prospect most likely. Robertson I dont know much about to say where Id rank him.

What I'm getting at is we can have our cake and eat it too. It's possible to retain Nils and Schneider AND put together a package of great prospects to trade for a C prospect, if the front office chooses to go that route. It's not so black-and-white that we'd have to part ways with Nils/Schneider to make a trade for a C happen.

Our pool is deep enough. Something Gorton deserves credit for.

Game night! Hopefully, Jan makes an appearance soon.

LETS GO RANGERS!

Did I read that someone will throw Rooney into the trade mix?

Must be killing you that Strome is playing well.

That would work, some of our 1A/1B prospects might never crack the lineup anyway.

Chara punches Rooney 4 times in the face, it’s ok cause his big

well that sucks

Trade Rooney

Oshie has our number this year.

You know what it takes for the refs to call a penalty on the Caps.

Love the early effort they give Quinn
