almost too much, considering the fact that those other guys are playing pretty well.

I just think you need another center iceman who can spell one of these guys that are in there now if they should go down for a few games.

I think so.

And I think the Rangers like him a lot.

And that's the other thing.

Like the Rangers can't just abandon ship at this point, you know,

I'm sure they'd like to shake that JT Miller contract because that's a big one.

But Trochek, he's a different bird.

I mean, he's a really important guy for them.

What they really need to do is get a centerman who can play ahead of Trochek so that they can maximize the value they get from him because they're not that strong in the middle.

And they need a center iceman who can really kind of take them to another level.

And where they're hard to find,

You know, they got Lafreniere in the draft.

They got Capocacco in the draft.

And they struck out, I think, on both of those players going all the way to the bottom to get them.

And so that can happen, too.

Everybody wants you to tank, you know, finish in the top five.

And then you make a couple of picks that don't pan out.

That can be disastrous.

Well, I think, again, it has to do with what he gets in return, and I don't think you can expect a whole lot in return for a Nolichari.
