Schneider is proving competent at a young age and could easily man the second pairing with more experience. I’m a bit mixed on the “Kid Line” as I think Chytil is a 3C at best, and if asked to predict Kaako’s ceiling I would say Jordan Eberle (not great, not terrible.) Curious to see where Lunkvist will slot in going forward, and what the hell’s going to finally happen with Kravtsov.

Drury did a phenomenal job at the deadline acquiring great pieces with absolutely minimal returns. Copp is probably cost prohibitive but it would be great to re-sign Vatrano and Motte if the cap hits make sense.

Definitely happy with the trajectory.

They should lock him up long term IMO

Miller is going to be a stud.

I’d also look for a way to dump Trouba’s contract. He’s not needed anymore and gets paid too much to be a second pairing guy with the young guys in the system.

I’d like to see Copp, Vatrano, and Motte resigned. I hope we don’t give Strome a big deal.
On a scale of 1 to Seth Jones

The Trouba contract isn't that bad, but my guess is you'd have to sweeten the deal to get anyone to take it.
I'm sure.

The Rangers could figure it out, but I forgot he has a full NMC until 2024 when he has a partial NTC.

Given all that they'd almost certainly have to retain salary in a trade to a team he'd accept a trade to.
Agree with all of that

Miller looks like he’s going to be a legit top pairing guy. Love the three middle six guys you called out too.

That Trouba contract is going to atrocious; one could argue it already is. His possession numbers this year and this postseason specifically are quite bad.
