Thread: Late-season Roster
The trade does not hurt anything short term. We are rebuilding and hopefully we lose a lot the rest of the year. And can luck out with a top 5 pick or better. That’s the goal. Then with all we traded for we have options to make trades for additional young nhl players by trading Zucc and Hayes. Gorton did a fantastic job and we are in a great position to get some highly talented players this summer.

Also highly doubtful staal is bought out. One could make the case he is in great position to be the next “C” until his contract runs out and a kid steps up to earn it. Having staal smith and shatty gives us nice leadership in the back with skjei then we trade smith once his play improves or we move smith at the draft with a pick.

We have so many options and only scratched the surface of the personnel moves

Thread: Need to save the season
Saving the season is not the best move. This is a team that lacks elite talent especially at the forward position. We do not have players that can change the game at any moment. This draft is hyped to be the deepest in many years. This is the year we try for the lottery pick, get a young stud prospect and build a new core around. We need to trade guys before the deadline and stock pile picks and young NHL talent. Guys like Nash, Zucc, CK Miller Hayes. They need to go inorder to give young guys some ice time. Vesey and Buchnevich should be top 6 every night. Hell with the current team playing like **** I would not mind seeing Zib center them two for a couple games and see what happens.

We have a GM that seems to want some sort of a rebuild but a coach that does not give young players a very long leash.

Yes this season can be saved but that is not what we should be doing. We need to build for the future and MAYBE have a shot to get Hank a Cup before he retires.

Thread: NYR what would it take?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR724</b></div><div>In short more that that.

McD has 1 more year at 4.7 mil so a 1st in 18 would start the conversation. Other than that NYR are in denial. They need a rebuild and this roster just needs to be blown up.

With that said since McD has 1 more year left, he does not HAVE to be moved this year.</div></div>

Agreed that he doesn't have to be moved. Just to clarify, you'd be looking for (3) 1st rounders then? I have (2) already in this and the only reason I did the 2019 is because of that additional year McD has on his current deal...combine with the conditional resign. I'll clarify in the trade because that may not have been clear.</div></div>

No I am just saying the conversation starts with the '18 1st rd pick. I have no idea what NYR would be looking for as before McD gets traded one would assume, Nash, Zucc, Hayes, Kreider (if a solid offer comes in). So who knows what NYR would have received from those deals. All I know is McD, barring a blockbuster, will not be the first to go so to predict the return is very hard but it would be big.

Thread: Who knows....
Yes that is what the pick is for. Girardi will be FAR cheaper to buyout next summer so the bottom 3 guys platoon. Girardi will be far more rested with sharing the bottom pairing so could pay off for us for the year. But I would be willing to move G and our 1st this year to not eat any of his cap hit should a team be open to that. If not buy him out next year as several guys will need new contracts next summer.

Forwards, gotta let Vesey and Buch have their turn to really come into what NYR hope them to be. As for King, he has 2 Stanley Cups under his belt and he will add the grit that we need. Currently without Campbell and King NYR have NO ONE that has won a Cup before. Adding that is HUGELY IMPORTANT to a roster. Then the forwards are balanced and hopefully Vesey or Buch step up and you can split CK or Zucc from top line to 2nd to balance it more.
