I don't like it either. I tend to believe where there's smoke there's fire. But Kane has been on the straight and narrow for a while now (it appears). Unlike that other Kane.

It has nothing to do with any chart.
Here's my rationale, we are currently 9th in league standings. We have a legitimate claim on being as big much of a contender as pretty well any other top team. This puts the onus on the players to pick up their socks and do what it takes to knock off the other teams trying to do the same thing.
In my mind, trading 4 assets for Kane might improve our odds of winning this year somewhat, but not enough to change that fact that we still need to outplay really good teams. Absolutely nothing will be guaranteed except that we would be worse off overall in trying to replicate this status for the next 5-8 years.

This.
Unfortunately Dolan doesn't see it that way.

So trade 4 pieces for Tarasenko? I think it’s a given we are trading futures, it’s just a question of who we get. And we have never been in better shape to unload some of them than we are right now. We can’t be fraidy cats tones. We can barely fit everyone into the lineup right now as it is. Meaning Cuylle. Kravtsov. Othmann. Robertson. Etc. Couple that with our older corp getting older. Before you know it that group will be gone and they’ve not won anything either.

No. Don't trade 4 pieces for anybody.
I know this is an extension of my positive, hopeful demeanor. But, I hate giving up on young players. Hate it. I would rather build our team in the off season, primarily from within, and roll the dice on getting it done in season through development, training, hard work and puck luck than try for a home run trade. And if we don't win the Cup, learn your lessons and start getting ready for next season. That's just the way I've always been. I always want to see the Rangers win, and I always want it to be because the guys we have elevated their game to get it done.

I agree with that. Just this is the right time imo to do a bold move. I wouldn’t have said this last year and two years ago either, right now I do believe it is the time

I said this before:

You wouldn’t do Kravtsov, Robertson, a first and second for him? Not me saying that, but a writer suggested this would be a potential deal. What exactly are we losing? One guy can’t beat out jimmy Vesey and the other can’t beat out Ben Freakin Harpur and a pick in the 20s, and 40s
