The Rangers had players falling over themselves and willing to take discounts to play there. Vancouver at least drafted most of their own good players. They also had nowhere near the depth that NYR had. I like Demko, but he is not peak Shesterkin.
The Buchnevich situation is a master class on how to waste a valuable asset. Don't engage in meaningful talks with him. Trade him for Blais and a 2nd. Trade Blais back to the same teak for Tarasenko. Let Tarasenko walk.
