Rangers Stuff
Okay, I’ve turned these device sideways to see if it helps with the typing. Not so much. Anyway, Gorton said after the draft, that the Rangers saw nothing worth trading around for. That’s unusual for the Rangers, who moved up last year - brilliantly it appears - to get K’Andre Miller, then trade back into the draft in round 7 to shock the crap out of that swift skating preppy kid. Over the entire Gordie/Gorton drafting era, they’ve made a bunch of draft trades. So did moving extra picks for Fox and Trouba satisfy their craving? Or did their recent acquisitions of Fox, Trouba and Kakko make them only interested in big game hunting? I think it’s most likely that after the group of 15 or so purple choppers, there was nothing worth Kreider or any of the other roster players - and everyone realized it, so there was no way to get back in - then no reason to. Either that, or JD fears gluttony and pumped the brakes.

that was my thinking, after mid-first round, there were no players worth trading Kreider. Kreider will be worth a lot more at the next trade deadline. The problem is on draft day, draft picks are valued at their highest because scouts worked all year and prepped for weeks leading up to the draft, to trade away picks then is a punch in the gut. Through the draft process teams fall for players and want a shot at them, not throw away a chance.
