I think Ottawa knows better than rush a rebuild for an overrated player, everyone has learned from Toronto after the Kessel disaster, Especially rebuilding teams.
I can't see why Ottawa would be interested, but hey...
Gaborik, 1st round pick #15, Michael Del Zotto
for
Erik Karlsson, 1st round pick #21

Erik Karlsson, 1st round pick #21, Brad Richards
Not only is this terribad for Ottawa, but we take a jillion dollars of your cap space AND trade you a 20-year old all-star PMD (one of the better ones in the game) AND allow you to sign Richards. Where is the lube going to Ottawa?

We can sign Richards regardless of whether or not you "allow" us to or not.
Rangers are rumored to be looking to sign Richards so I doubt they'll be serious about this seeing how Richards could be a pivot point for Gaborik to get his scoring touch again.
If it is true ..... Condra + Butler to New York ???
Um......yeah. lets start a little higher there buddy.
If there is any truth to this, I would think the Rangers would want a skill infusion coming back. Spezza would be great, but the Rangers would have to add a fair amount.
The value is probably there but it's so not worth it from a Rangers POV. Spezza dishing off passes to Zuccarello and Wolski? That would instantly become our 3rd line.
The teams make poor trading partners. Both teams have strong, young defensemen in the system and need offense. The only piece we'd be interested in is Spezza and if we make a trade for him, it will be to play with Gaborik, not a swap.
The Rangers have said they want Richards, in order to do this they must dump Gaborik and his salary. If this happens I think Ranger fans will be disappointed with what they get in return. No one is going to pay a high 1st round pick plus young prospects for an injury prone winger

The rangers certainly do not need to move Gaborik to acquire Richards and a main motivation for pursuing Richards is to pair him with Gabby.

In case you missed any of the other 3 million threads about the Rangers cap situation, I'll sum it up for you here. We can afford Richards without trading Gaborik.

Lol, foolish. We have 21 million in cap space, without any buyouts, ltir or trades.

Dude, don't talk about the Rangers cap situation when you clearly know nothing about it. The cap just went up 4.9 mil. If necessary, we can buyout Wolski and save 3.3 mil. We have plenty of cap space for Richards.
