Detroit is apparently in on Hamonic for no reason whatsoever and will surely offer young useful players in return.

Also Todd Nelson a candidate in Arizona when Detroit should probably fire Blashill and lock Nelson up instead.

I knew it was going to Forsberg. CBJ was like 4 deep on decent goalie prospects.

And, frankly, I question if Forsberg is going to be an NHL goalie. Excellent in the AHL, though.

On the other hand, Merzlikins sounds really drat good.

Fortunato.

I mean there is obviously more here, whether it's to this trade in particular or whether the Rangers make more deals. They'd have a lot of cap space to sign and trade for players now, including a 7th that they should be dangling.

I feel like they'd rather move the 21st and keep the 7th, they need to hit on a star player with a draft pick sometime here. Not sure there are any top flight D available that would want a 7th as part of it. trouba is the only top pairing type guy that is vaguely rumored to be available at some point and the Jets wanted a top left D in exchange

What did he do that was racist, I assume this was some incident in juniors and slurs towards another player?

Again not sure they're going to dangle the 7th overall vs the 21st but depends on what might be available I guess. If you can get MacKinnon for the 7th and a piece then sure

e: I keep saying I'm not sure about dealing the 7th because again they basically have to find a way to get a young star player and if they can't get that with trading the 7th then they might as well keep it and hope they draft well

But...

I guess the Rangers didn't really need Stepan with Zbad, Miller, and Hayes/Vesey, but this still feels like a strange move for a competing team to make. It's basically their 1C for future value unless they're really high on DeAngelo

assuming there's another move, i don't mind that deal. but even if there isn't another move, it's not the worst idea in the world to get out from under stepan's contract. he's played a lot of hockey and was never the fastest skater in the world to begin with. i can see him not living up to it, even if he is a legit top six center.

having said that, he's had some of my favorite ranger goals--the OT goal against Wash, the zuccarello soccer pass against pittsburgh, the pick against chara. i'll miss him.

Miller hasn't played center exclusively at the NHL level, though he takes draws sometimes. Vesey isn't a center.
They only have two centers on the roster now with Zbad and Hayes. Something else has to be planned around getting a center.
