Thread: No draft trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RSlikesmen</b></div><div>That is a pretty impressive trade for the Sabres. What are the Rangers getting in return for Zucc, a first, a decent prospect AND eating half of Staal's salary?! A guy that will live in the AHL for most of his career, a guy that couldn't even crack the Sabres lineup these past 2 years when they have been complete rubbish...what are you doing there super chief?</div></div>

1. Return for Zucc = ridding the Rangers of Staal's contract.
2. Again, the first and a roster player (Zucc) -- I'm pretty sure is needed to rid them of Staal's contract.
3. Decent prospect? No. Career AHLer/fringe NHLer if the Rangers are lucky. He's really just a throw in to get rid of Staal.
4. Nylander, is 20 YO. Has putting up much better numbers at a much younger age than Gropp, who, in your eyes is a "decent prospect."
5. Also, did I mention it is probably gonna take a lot to get rid of Staal because he sucks and makes $5M?? But, man, he sucks, and makes $5M..probably gonna take a lot to get rid of him.
6. Dude, Staal suckssssssssssss

Realistically, I think they could probably get a 2nd back with Nylander at most, but he is still young and has good upside.

Thread: Thoughts Rangers Fans?
No. Andersson is not playing in the NHL this year.

I hope they don't sign Shatty, a 28YO Dman looking for 5-6 years and I don't think they will because they just trading one of their core pieces and top center for the future (7th pick and young D prospect) AND bought out a 32 YO Dman.
I know he is elite and he is awesome, I just don't think the Rangers can afford to head down that path again, with McD and Skj contracts coming up in the next two consecutive years, and DeAngelo if he blossoms into something beautiful, they are stuck with an overpaid defense and cap issues.
I think they look more towards trying as hard they can to move Staal and sign Smith, assuming they move Staal; of course they sign another Dman.
Mcd-Smith
Skj-DeAngelo
Berezgalov - Franson/Postma/Stone/Idk anything but Staal...please.


EDIT: Forgot about Holden. He plays 3pair left side and Berezgalov is probably a 7th Dman with this coach, barring an outstanding camp. If not packaged, Graves should be looking to fight for one of those spots as well.

so:
McD-Smith
Skj-DeAng
Holden-Franson/Postma/Stone/Idk anything but Staal...please.
Berezgalov/Graves

Thread: Trade for Trouba, No Shatty, Sign Jumbo Joe and B. Smith, bring back Boyle (?)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Barathrum_Obama</b></div><div>B level defense prospect
massive negative value
C level prospect
50-62th overall

absolutely not happening</div></div>


Right..I don't think they sign Jumbo Joe or Brendan Smith after the deal for Deangelo.
Just throwing something together. Little bit of wishful thinking
Think it would cost more somewhere in the neighborhood of: 18'1st +18'2nd + Graves + Staal - and that's probably just enough to get the talks going.
Gotta think, Staal can play a bottom pair, Graves is a big Dman who has had some offensive growth over the past two seasons in the AHL, doesn't lack the skating ability most Dmen his size do and should be fighting for a roster spot this upcoming season. Throw in a first and second and I think that could get the Jets to think about it at least

Thread: Rag fans would you trade Skjei with Stepan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mathieu_savard</b></div><div>Montreal would be so stupid to do this trade. Galchenyuk is better than stefan, and skjei isn't even good. Maybe he could end up as a top 4 defenseman. But so could beaulieu. Why add a first and hudon?</div></div>

Also, how is Gally better than Step? By what measure? They have put up similar numbers throughout their careers, Step is unquestionably a much better defensive player and Gally is not even a center? He may be 3 years younger but he has <strong>only ONE</strong> 50+ point season in his career. Step? He's got <strong>FIVE 50 point seasons</strong> and <strong>HAS DONE IT FOR FOUR YEARS IN A ROW</strong>
Stepan isn't even good on the PP yet he has <strong>40 MORE POINTS</strong> on the PP than does Gally despite playing only two more seasons.
You're telling me a not even top-30 winger in the league is better than a top-30 center in the league. Stop ittttttttttt please

Maybe a t-4?
That's absolutely nuts. Go check out: 1. Hero Charts and check how he stacks against some of the best Dmen in the league, 2. His primary points among Dmen at 5 v. 5, and 3. whom he was paired with all season yet still had an astonishing season as a rookie. He isn't even good? You should get ya head checked. By every standard he had a beautiful rookie season.
He is a t-4 Dman <strong>right now</strong>. Go do some research then try to tell me he is just "maybe a t-4 Dman"
Here's a hero chart for ya comparing him to the average number one defenseman in the league.
