Thread: I wonder if Stalock would even want to come
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newballcoach</b></div><div>That depends on where you think the Wild are. You think they are rebuilding, yet nothing they have done at all suggests that. In fact, they went and signed UFA's this year and extended Spurgeon for 7 years, not something you would do if you were rebuilding. So that trade makes no sense because they want none of those pieces.</div></div>

Okay that is totally fair. I am going with they are rebuilding because I don't see how they have a choice. I just don't see high end youth on that team. Their only top pairing defenseman/top line forward under 28 is Dumba. They have to deal with the contracts for Suter (still good) and Parise (passed his prime). I dunno I think it's time to nuke it.

Thread: I feel like the only way the Rangers keep DeAngelo is if they dont
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>I like how you know the unhappiness of having three goalies and that you think the Rangers will give Georgiev to Toronto for pennies on the dollar. Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. Most teams over that period didn't have three number one goalies at the stage of careers of these three.</div></div>

I never commented on anyone's happiness.

Anyway check out what Talbot got you guys

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Talbot went to the Oilers, for whom he projects as their No. 1, in exchange for the 57th, 79th and 184th picks in the draft, the 209th going west to Edmonton. The return appears skimpy measured against the bounty Sather seemed certain he could extract for the goaltender who was so valuable as Henrik Lundqvist’s understudy.</div>

Talbot was way better for new York then Georgiev has been.... He got a very late 2nd, a late third and a seventh with like an 8th going back...

Thread: I feel like the only way the Rangers keep DeAngelo is if they dont
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>I don't want to buy out Hank! Hank should be a Ranger for as long as he wants to be a Ranger, unless he's not competent anymore or a drooling Vegetable - but that's just common sense. If he request a trade and waives his NMC because of a three goalie rotation - great! I don't see Georgiev complaining and Shesterkin will be happy to just be in the NHL and playing every 3rd game.</div></div>

I like how you know what the happiness of these goalies will be. Shesterskin has dominated everywhere he's been. He's going to want to have his NHL shot.

No team in the last 10-20 years to my knowledge has carried 3 goalies that play beyond a few weeks. So I doubt it happens.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>Rangers would keep Georgiev and not trade him, then trade him for two 3rd round picks. Georgiev is a number one goalie... If Toronto isn't willing to give up in trade what's required to acquire a number one goalie, then trade for a backup goalie. Two 3rd round picks for Georgiev is an insult and Gorton would wonder why Toronto thinks so little of his intelligence.</div></div>

Georgiev is not a number one goalie. He's a young goalie who's played pretty well at times and is going to want his shot at a starters job. Goalies don't have all that much value and if traded in the offseason (as above) I doubt he returns more than a second.

Also the Rangers aren't keeping him and Lundy through next year. They have their Uber goalie prospect to bring up

Thread: Wings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MacerV</b></div><div>Those two years are a pretty critical fact. Kapanen is younger than AA was when he got those career highs (highs he is not going to repeat this year). When re-signing him this off-season I doubt they're going to go up to his agent and grant him the benefit of the doubt of being a guaranteed 30 goal scorer.

AA vs Kapanen's P/GP by age

Age : AA | Kap
21 : 0.38 | 0.24
22 : 0.45 | 0.56
23 : 0.46 | 0.56
24 : 0.71 | -
25 : 0.52 | -

As for him playing center, after looking it up he did so for only a short time before being moved back. He's done it at the AHL, but he's also 25 so making that move seems unlikely. The extra value is minor in that case, the versatility of needing him to take a faceoff is nice, but he hasn't done so regularly, and hasn't had an above 50% rate until this year and that is with only 45 faceoffs in 29 games.</div></div>

The bottom line is he's done more in the NHL. Kapanen can claim potential, but for now AA is more valuable.
