If I were the Rangers
Theres' certain teams I would make overtures towards.
Atlanta would be the first team I targeted. Through the first portion of the season TB has been the best team, well Atlant is 1 point behind them in the standings. Yes they do have 3 games up on TB in games played, but it shouldn't be discounted. With Heatley down for a while and Savard still out, they could use a center with experience and I think that Nedved would fit nicely with that group. The player I would look at would be Braydon Coburn. Maybe they bite, maybe they don't, but not making the attempt would be foolish.
San Jose is another team I would contact, Carter and Kovalev would be the guys I would dangle to them. I would want to see if we could get both Strum and Stuart. SJ has been underachieving for the last 2 years and they may be on the verge of looking to do somethign drastic, this would be something drastic.
Chicago Blackhawks could use a big man now that Daze and his back are hurting once again. 4 of the Blackhawks top 10 prospects are defenceman and I would love to see if they would be willing to accept Eric Lindros for Brent Seabrook and Matt Ellison. I know that they have been crying poverty, but they could use an attraction and playing Eric with either Ruutu and or Sullivan could provide that team a spark.
Do I think that any of these deals are actually do-able?? No, not at all. but I would look at teams that may think they are better than they are and try to take advantage of that thought process.
