Description
FWIW I think the Rangers would regret making this deal as soon as next season

...unless they win the Cup. Cup means all is forgiven

Also I really hope they manage to get Duclair - regardless of any other trades. I've been watching San Jose lately and he's a fun player that I think would fit well on this team.

My problem with Jake Pretzel is that there's a 0% chance we can reasonably re-sign him. If we give up on Kakko, it's got to be for someone with term like Vatrano.

It's a really nice lineup, though. I agree with Duclair, though I think it'd cost more than that.

If you got to ask, then he's probably the second part of your sentence... : P

NYR would definitely need to add more. Let's leave it at that haha. Jones has some decent offense potential.

It's a decent offer on Jake, the question is what do others offer.

As for Duclair..... if by fun you mean a guy who drifts around the blue line looking to cherry pick goals instead of helping his teammates out in his own end, then yeah good luck with that.
There is a reason Torts chased him right the hell out of CBJ, he just wants to be the goal scoring hero..... never mind actually doing anything else on the ice to help the team win.

Only good prospect NYR have is Perreault. The rest are JAGs.

A recent podcast from NYR writer Vince Mercogliano had a scout saying he'd be getting regular time for 40% of teams in the league. But then again, league sources are telling the same guy NYR might be looking for 6/7D options.

Looks like Bogosian is signing an extension in Minnesota.

Jones and Gustafsson are pretty much the same player. The 6/7 comment was about the Rangers getting bigger/heavier on defense for the playoffs (someone like Bogosian).

I mean he would probably get NHL time on San Jose, but again, there is no improvement for San Jose, it would just be another 6-7 dman on a good team playing 3-4 on a bad team which does not help them yk, unless you think he has like potential

Huge overpay.
You can keep Guentzel...
Overrated. Benefits from Crosbys coattails.
That's 3 1st rounds for a rental, pure insanity.
Guentzel is small, not fast, no physical benefits.
He's a wonderful field mouse picking up all the crumbs Crosby leaves all over the ice.
Sorry, I'm amazed at the perspective of Guentzel in fans minds....
I seriously doubts he nets anything close to this, unless he signs extension.
But imo, still not worth it. Better plug him on another Superstars ( actually generational) line.

The Rangers actually need a goal scoring hero, so if he can actually do it, then hell yeah I want that. Nearly every RW they’ve been linked to has poor defensive metrics, so bring him on.
