There isnt just one trade needed. Too many holes to fill, the usual trade pieces everyone talks about have reduced value due inconsistent play. Nils, Chytil, etc so If we do add a significant piece it might wind up being KK or Laf or Miller traded. Going all in on rentals is a very risky move if they dont win the Cup!! Four or the top 6 are producing and 3 of our 6 defense man are solid. We have one of the top 3 goaltenders in the world. The rest have been inconsistent. Playoffs are a different game, no telling what will happen.
Four years of missing the playoffs and rebuilding to winning the Cup would be very unusual. - Brukie
The only reason they’ll make a push this year is bc of their cap space. If they add a depth defenseman and top 6 forward I don’t think that empty’s the cupboard. Blais could be back for a PO run as well
Most definitely!! But think about the cost of a JT Miller. he isnt on an expiring contract and would cost more than a first, Chytil and Kravs possibly?? Hertl? I would think somewhere around the same price. Then you still need to add a 5/6 d man and still have to hope the third and forth line starts to produce. - Brukie
So, the cost of acquiring a guy who fills basically every need we have could be a draft pick that very likely would be 20th or later, a guy who is under achieving and a guy that doesn't want to play for us, and you still think its a bad idea???
I just don't understand what move you could ever possibly think is ok.
Is the team never to make a trade again?

Blais would likely not be ready to go for the playoffs.
Nils not off to the blistering start in Hartford that I expected. Just 1 assist in 6 games.
Not saying he should be at a PPG, but a little surprised by that.
Jones has 18 points in 24 games. Kid really could be a LH Foxy-lite. - TC88
Honestly I'm starting to wonder if the answer for that third pairing D is already here. Jones and Schneider seem like a solid pair that would be familiar with each other. Bring Jones up and see how they do at the NHL level together. Have the Rangers had them on the roster at the same time?

I don't think they feel comfortable with two rookies together
they want Schneider playing with a vet
hopefully they want a better vet than Nemeth by the deadline though
