Thread: Duchene for Hayes+
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Graves and maybe even Halverson are meaningless in an NHL trade. And you still force Avs to take on 5.7m Staal unnecessarily. An easy no from the Avs.</div></div>

Graves and Halverson are mid-level prospects with Graves having an outside chance at NHL this year if it wasn't for logjam at D in NY. Willing to take on SOME of Staal's deal but at the expense of less or later draft picks. Colorado has 3 defensemen and crazy amount of cap space. For a player like Hayes, they are more willing to take on a contract like Staal.
Honestly, I don't think you know what you're talking about. You comment and **** on other's posts all the time but I've NEVER seen you post a legitimate deal in any way shape or form.

Thread: Duchene Trade (Fast LTIR)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TopCornerShot</b></div><div>This isn't enough payment for Duchene. They want much more than this.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DontToewsMe19</b></div><div>They need a lot more, and they won't take Sakic won't take Staal. I'm 100 percent sure of that. Plus, Jesper Fast is a great player, they wouldn't put him on LTIR.</div></div>

A young/high end defensive prospect, a mid-high goalie prospect, and a 1st round pick. Colorado has 3 defensemen under contract.....3. If Girardi can net 3million a year, there are teams out there that will take on Staal. Hell, throw Gropp or Kovacs or throw in a 2nd round pick but that is fair value for Duchene. The big reason Staal goes in this trade is to make the money work.

As for Fast on LTIR, he had offseason hip-surgery and will miss at least the first month of the season. That's why he's on LTIR. Once he's healthy, Nieves gets sent down and Fast becomes 4RW and Grabner goes to 4LW.

Thread: No Buchnevich
For those who are asking why Vancouver would do this deal, they do this because Vrbata is a 34 year old player in the last deal of his contract. If you ask me, I don't see them re-signing him this offseason. They are weak defensively as well, insert Marc Staal. Staal is still a Top 4 Defenseman, yes he has struggled but he is still a Top 4 Defenseman; and I feel his struggles are overblown as every NYR D-man has struggled this year.
In terms of why I did the lines as I did:
Nash-Brassard-Zuccarello: This is undeniably the Rangers top line. They play very well together, no reason to change it.
Kreider-Stepan-Versteeg: Kreider and Stepan have great chemistry to begin with. Versteeg DRIVES possession.
Jensen-Hayes-Miller: Why Miller on the 3rd line? I LOVE his game and think he is a 2nd line player BUT I really like him with Hayes. Put him on the right side here to be Hayes' #1 option. Energy/forechecking line. Defense is only question mark
Glass-Lindberg-Fast: Its not very likely we get rid of Glass which means it will be tough to re-sign Moore. Lindberg can win faceoffs and along with Fast, they are quick and can generate offense.

Thread: Shaw
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>[<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Haanrngrsfn311</b></div><div><i>For Shaw, he is going to demand 4-5 million a year for sure. The lowest he will get is 3.75. I guarantee it.
As for Girardi, they aren't taking on his 5.5 million contract. He is still a veteran D man who can hold his own in the right situation. Top pair in NY is not that situation. Edmonton gets him to help solidify the blue line AND mentor the young D man</i></div></div>

The question with Girardi and other players with similar age/ salary /term is what he going to his play gonna be like in the future. Edmonton does have veteran Dmen, and I don't know how much it has helped, would Girardi?
If his mentoring is so important, maybe his should stay and mentor McIlrath, Skjei and McBain.
Interesting how the Shaw situation plays out. Personally I like him. The danger in acquiring him is he a good 3/4 liner on a very good team (Chicago) and how does he translate into a lesser team? (although the Rangers I think are a top 8 team). Does Shaw turn into another Bolland? Stats wise (if that means anything) JT Miller, Kevin Hayes and Shaw are almost identical. You've signed Miller to 2.75m, Hayes to 2.45m and signed Shaw to 4.25m Wouldn't that send a bad message to young Rangers in the dressing room (especially if MIller, Hayes and the departed Kreider are well liked)?</i></div></div>
Well the Rangers are notorious, mostly under Sather for handing out bridge deals, which would be the case for Hayes who also has struggled this year. Miller is coming off of his bridge deal (technically, he signed his Qualifying Offer last year so I'm counting that). Therefore, I don't think he'll get a 3-4 million dollar raise. A 3 year deal for him would keep him as an RFA at the end of his next contract again so they aren't buying any UFA years either which could keep it down.
As for Girardi, Edmonton is just an example. Maybe Arizona could be that team as they could use him to mentor a team that hasn't won AND help in a playoff push. Maybe even Anaheim whom were interested in him back when the Rangers signed him to this ugly deal at the deadline a few years ago.

Thread: JVR?
I highly highly highly doubt Skapski will be enough especially with the season that he is having, or not having due to injury. I honestly think this is pushing it since Kreider with be a RFA at the end of this year and they already have Dion Phaneuf and Jake Gardiner on the left side. In the past there has been a lot of speculation around them trading Phaneuf so I can only really see something like this happening if that were to happen. JVR is a top line LW, Kreider at best right now is a #2 and Staal is a mid-level pair defenseman. That alone is not enough to get the best player on the Leafs so I threw in multiple high draft picks and one of the top ranked goalie prospects (at least in the Rangers system) to make it more appealing to them, especially with Reimer being a UFA and likely not re-signing in Toronto.

Thread: Staal Brothers Reunited
Yes, I do. 100%. Why? Because look at their blue line. They have Faulk and Hanifin. In the minors they have Fleury and Murphy (who just got sent down this year). Both of whom are completely unproven. John Michael-Liles is 35 and an UFA at the end of the year so its safe to say they don't have much of a defense. Staal is currently 28 and under contract for four years. In Staal, they get a veteran Defenseman who can solidify their top 4, whether he plays with Faulk on the top pair or on the 2nd pair with Hanifin on the top pair. Right now, the Hurricanes are only 7 points out of a playoff spot as well. Up front they have J. Staal, E. Staal, Versteeg, Skinner, Gerbe (when healthy), and Nash. There's your top 6. They do need depth but this trade adds depth to their blueline without taking much depth away from the forward group.

Thread: Johansen and Marleau
Regarding the SJS deal, I talked with some of my friends who are big time Sharks fans and they all said they would absolutely do that deal. However, thats the same as us Rangers fans saying we'd make "Trade X" when we all know it will probably never come to fruition. With the Marleau deal, if he pushes for a trade around the deadline, Rangers could get him for less than face value. The reason Marty was so high was because Cally was a free agent at the end of the year. Staal having 4 more years on his deal can eliminate the need to include 1st round draft picks in that deal.
Regarding the CBJ deal, I can see them retaining up to 1.5 million in Girardi's cap hit but not much more than that if any. Kreider they can't retain money on since he would be signing that deal with them in the offseason.
