Jimmy Vesey gets to be there three seasons before he's dumped as a 3rd round pick.

Kevin Hayes was dealt away. He got a 1st round pick that the Rangers then used to get Trouba out of Winnipeg.

What they should do is what Trouba did. Play where you're picked early on, be good, and then work towards getting the Rangers to pay you $64 million. Signing an an ELC with them is stupid.
Every team trades guys who willingly sign with them. You think Carolina is going to show him some strange level of loyalty? They won’t even give their GM a contract

The kid was smart. Looked out for his best interest because GMs sure aren’t going to
