Thread: What is the "King's" ransome? How much can the rangers get for hank with 1/2 sal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SabresFan20</b></div><div>Hmmm, Buffalo defs has some interest at deadline or in next offseason if Hutton doesnt work out. Young guy in Ullmark could learn a lot from hank, but Hutton come off a fantastic season at 2.25 per is something we can't give up on, just too good of a contract. and if we were to trade I think it would look like

Davidson + 2020 2nd
for
Lundqvist + 2019 4th</div></div>

idk if this would be able to get the deal done.. don't see gorts letting lundqvist go unless you have a potential top six player coming back (has potential to develop into top line player but will most likely be a zibanejad type player, okay 1st liner, good second liner) rather that the ryan spooners/namestnikovs of the NHL (good 3rd liners, meh 2nd liners)

it's definitely been proven that teams do not need an elite goaltender to win the cup, they just need it at the right time. Lundqvist would be best in a situation where he plays 3/5-2/3 the season.. 50 games should be the marker. The biggest thing about him is that he thrives when it is on the line. He has some of the best statistics over the last decade in the playoffs. He's look out of sorts the last 2-3 years because yes he is no longer 28-30, but mainly because he's had the likes of Staal, Girardi, Kampfer, smith (last seasons version) and AHL defenders in front of him. Also tack into it a style of play under AV that did not fit the team (they weren't a puck possession team), playing square tiles in round holes (starting hayes over 60% defensively when he is an offensive gifted player) and that makes up the rest of the deficiency. I think carolina is one of the top teams that could use him, and they have the assets to get him as well (thinking young RHD or winger) and picks.

Out of all the teams posted (in post and comments), this is the order i can see him going to (if he fully waived that is):
Would want a first rounder also but:
St Louis (kyrou or kotsin)-- probably would have to retain or take a bad contract back, i.e. bouwmeester [would this get us an additional prospect?]
Carolina (Adam Fox)
Calgary (valimaki or andersson)


the rest (isles, van, buffalo, det, ott) are all sortof rebuilding and not ready to contend. If lundqvist would leave, it would be to win the cup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Calgary or Philly would most likely to pounce to be honest</div></div>
I think you could easily add Carolina to your list.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mbrunne3</b></div><div>Disagree with him not being elite still, just on a bad team. I dont think that the value of that trade is horrible either. :)</div></div>
Yup, he is still "KING"
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mbrunne3</b></div><div>True for sure... Luongo still looks pretty good but I definitely see what you mean for sure</div></div>
Yes Luongo just keeps on ticking. He actually never has a really bad game. Ryan Miller just had the best year of his career and he is 38
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Michael</b></div><div>The only thing is that he will be 37 years old by the end of the season and even at $4.25M it's risky for a goalie. He hasn't slowed down yet but a team acquiring him would be taking a gamble that he could keep up his level of play until he's close to 40. I think that would significantly affect the package for him.</div></div>
YUP,

Is this enough, Nylander, Guhle and Ullmark from Buffalo? TBH I would hate to part with them but for Lundqvist it would be worth it.
