IMO from what I've been reading on this Mika Zibanajad is one of the most underrated figures in sports history he is a franchise player and a 1 man show similar to McDavid by carrying a terrible team on his back ( Rangers are much worse then Edmonton) Zibanajad is a 90 point player in the right situation with real line mates. Why I believe the Rangers should trade him?This is because he's 26 and by the time the rangers are good he'll be leaving his Prime. Anyway that's my rant this is my proposal.

Philly: Nolan Patrick

New York: Mika Zibanajad

Rangers - Nolan Patrick is posed to become a 2 way 1C ( hopefully a sad-mans Towes ). While Zibanajad is the much better player and Patrick May never be as good but he'll be entering his prime when Rangers are starting to compete.

Philly: Philly is starting to compete now. They have a very solid roster and Zibanajad/Coutorier as 1/2 Cs would be huge. Zibanajad would be Great between Vorchek and JVR.

Rumour forgetting 1 important detail and that is not every team takes 10 years to do a rebuild. The Rangers can and will spend to the cap and depending on who they add and which of their prospects step into the line up this year they could easily be a playoff team next season.

Your love for zibanajad is on the same scale as your hate for lucic lol in the sense where neither is as good or bad as you say.

I disagree habby just look at what he produced this year compared to the rest of the team. Zib really stands out on the Rangers. Also I’m not sayings he’s even comparable to McDavid talent wise I’m saying the way he carry’s the team is similar. Also what you’re saying may be true about the rebuild to some extent but I hope we can both agree there should definitely be atleast a two year window of being a bottom 5 team Lundqvist and Staal need to go. Also they need one or two more elite pieces like Kakko/ Hughes.

He's been a 40 or 50 point guy all his career and hit 70 last year sounds a lot like max Domi to me.

Well VB if we are judging off of one year then fine. But in his career he’s been a good player but a franchise centre that’s funny. He has never been a point per game player in the NHL he just had a career year with 74 in 82. ( just to put in perspective Domi had 72 in 82). And this was the first year in his career he played all 82 games. He’s a good top line center but franchise is pushing your luck.

I’m judging this as a break out year yes also Domi was playing with more talent Montreal is a better team. I don’t think Zib is as good as players like Tavares, Stamkos, Giroux, Hall, Schifele, Malkin, Mathews among others but he’s a tier below imo

He’s in the Same tier as
Benn, Monahan, Paniran, Larkin, Forsburg, Kuznetzkov

If you don’t watch the rangers a lot you may not agree but a few more 70+ point seasons will make this more commonly known.

Zibanejad is worth a lot more than Patrick right now.
And the Rangers could be good very fast. Sign Panarin and/ or Karlsson, get Kaako/ Hughes in the draft. And they were already somewhat decent last year. Additional player development from their young guys. And they have a ton of picks. Rangers did it right, great rebuild.
This trade would be very bad for them.

It's difficult sometimes to read things from fans that make it impossible to avoid being a little antagonistic and insulting. So I apologize. But you're lost. This is the type of perfect example of a fan that isn't aware of recent history, or what a good player is or how prospects develop etc. That's why when the GM says "rebuild" people get so confused that they don't realize the rebuild is over. They will develop young players. But the Rangers after winning the 2nd pick and trading for Fox now need to add a TOP top FA (Panarin is the only option for many reasons. But he's perfect) Has the OP planned out the depth chart and tried to figure out where the team is now. In one offseason before you even hopefully add Panarin, and hopefully trade for a legit defenseman, the team is bringing in Kakko, Kravstov, Fox, Rykov, Shestyorkin. Plus the college fas they signed. That's it. Rebuild is done. Growth is constant but they have the roster filled with every guy we want to go forward with aside from Miller and we will see who else. And the first line center was the best player and is a legit candidate for a point a game with 2 wings who can get him there. No to this. no to kreider. These are GOOD players. PRIME is not 27 to 29. It's 24-31.
