Rangers have a stacked pipeline so someone further out like a Pettersen or Stromgren probably makes more sense than a guy like Mackey.
Not saying that gets it done but it's kinda the going rate for a prospect with high pedigree looking for a change.
Lias Andersson only got a 2nd, though I think Kravstov is a better prospect than him.

I agree that we need more upper-echelon prospects, and that the ideal scenario would be to avoid parting with Zary, Coronato, or Pelletier-but if it takes one of those guys to do the deal, I think you have to look at it. Out of those 3, I would be most willing to part with Pelletier, despite how well he's doing in his first year in the AHL-just my personal opinion, but I think the other two are slightly better prospects. We have added size to our prospect pool, but not so much to those that project as top-6 players, and Kravtsov helps us there, and I think his potential has been overlooked.
