Kenny Powers Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 First priority is to resign him. If he declines an extension: To NYR: Kuzmenko, Luke Schenn To VAN: Braden Schneider - Schneider is behind Trouba and Fox on RD for NYR - Schenn replaces Schneider for their playoff push - We get Hughes’ future partner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 They wouldnt do Miller for this guy last year. Why would they do Kuzz for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 This is a fabulous idea! Put down the shuffleboard cue JR. There's a trade to be made! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger/in his prime, lowest possible cost, more potential upside, great attitude… They also keep their firsts and cap space if they want to try for Kane/Tarasenko. It’s a unique opportunity that no other teams can offer them: a near PPG player, in his prime, on an ELC.

The caveat to this is we probably wanted more than just Schneider for Miller I mean, the rumoured package was Chytil, Lundqvist and a 1st which sounds pretty damn good now Collectively you'd think that was worth more than just Schneider 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) I think we'd need a bit more back if we were trading Schenn too imo, I think he's also got some really nice trade value given his cap hit I'd do Kuzmenko for Schneider though Maybe I'm a bit off with the value but let's say Kuzmenko and Schenn for Schneider and a 2nd or 3rd, probably a 3rd I think Kuzmenko could return a 1st if he keeps this up I'm open to retaining Schenn as I don't disagree with the argument folks make for keeping him, but I'm also open to trading him, if including him in such a deal got us a young RD in Schneider I'd do it Even if Schneider tops out as a #3-4D that'd be fine with me, we need to find a way to get younger on the back end and we've little in the way of RD in our system Edited January 9 by Coconuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schneider is considered untouchable. Trouba has a modified NTC on the final 2 years of his deal. Schneider is also only 21 - when Trouba comes off the books he will be 24. Seems like a pretty well timed transition between Trouba/Schneider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree about the timing As for Miller one for one, I don't recall hearing that but that doesn't mean it didn't happen @aGENT does that ring a bell?

Seems like a pretty well timed transition between Trouba/Schneider. Makes sense that Trouba would slide to the third pair at the end of his contract. He’ll be 30 or so, and maybe ready for less minutes. Maybe this return is enough, maybe it’s not, but everyone is trade-able in the right conditions. NYR is sitting in a wildcard spot halfway through season…they have more incentive to make a trade than most. Same with the Penguins and Islanders.

The only question is what dollar/term and will management low-ball him like they apparently did BoHo? His production easily compares to a +/- 6.5mil/per deal right now so..... As for the deal - I'd do it in a heartbeat, but as mentioned, if Schneider were on the table I suspect it'd already have happened by now. I don't think Schneider is 'untouchable' as others have mentioned, but I don't think that deal alone gets him since he's a full-time player for them in a hard-to-find position not to mention he's full-time contributor while on ELC which is worth gold in today's NHL. Not mentioned much here, but so many people believe Schneider's not on the table - I'm wondering if K'Andre could be available and if so, what would that take? He's coming off his ELC this year and would need to be re-signed - with what so many young guys are getting paid these days - do the Rags have that kind of money/desire to invest in his next contract? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd reckon not, the Rangers may be loaded down the right side but they don't have as much on the left. Miller and Lindgren round out their top four, and Miller's actually second on the Rangers D with 20 points in 41 games thus far at age 22. At 6'5" he also gives them some size alongside Trouba (6'3") and Harpur (6'6"). He's worth signing imo, and if they're reluctant to move Schneider I reckon they'd be reluctant to move him too.

J-23 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I like K.Miller and Schneider, would love to get one of those guys. I like the deal, but I don’t think Rags do it. 7 hours ago, mll said: Thought Sat Shah said that the Canucks would have done Schneider for Miller 1-for-1 but it was never available.

Seems like a pretty well timed transition between Trouba/Schneider. I remember they wouldn’t do Miller for Schneider, but rather Horvat for Schneider. Also they offer Lundkvist, Chytill and a 1st for Miller. Man what a deal that would’ve been for us, wasn’t into this deal at the time. However Chytill and Lundvist look pretty good, can’t get greedy and miss out on these opportunities with Bo. All speculation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you’re saying though and honestly I have no clue. They are extremely hard to get when they are young. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the defencemen we acquire will be no one anyone has been talking about. It will be a surprise to most.
