+1, Stepan is too old to help us with the rebuild; we need a young 1C &amp; 1D.

If you want pick #9 from DET, you're looking at something closer to Skjei and a late 1st round pick. You pick #21, so maybe we'd even it with your 3rd in exchange (DET 1st, +NYR 3rd = Skjei + NYR 1st). But that doesn't rid you of Stepan's cap.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>Detroit does not need another high priced center on the down side of his career, we have that covered. We need young D who can make a tape to tape pass and skate. Green is the only D-man the Wings have that can do both. Dekeyser can not skate or pass, Kronwall, bless him, can not skate, Ericcsson, well, enough said, Jensen can skate and pass but not very well, and he rest well, they are not good.Sephan was a salary dump and you get a high 1st round pick, no thank you.</div></div>

I find it hilarious how you guys think Stepan is old and on the downside of his career. He is 26 years old and a solid borderline 1st line probably better suited 2nd liner who consistently puts up 55 points. Also a very good two center. Many Ranger fans are overreacting after his postseason this year. You don't find centers like Stepan off trees. I really hope they don't trade him unless it's an insane offer

Thread: Here We Go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Razzaram</b></div><div>Yeah Grabner and Holden and been STEALS contract wise. Both have one additional year remaining and each are paid 1.65M. Just GREAT contracts.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Don't know why you would want to trade Holden, Klein and Grabner. Rangers wouldn't have got back any immediate help that was any better. Rangers have to go with their best squad right now if they have possibility to reach the final 4.</div></div>

Trade Klein because he simply isn't good anymore and Clendening is better. I think with the market being so crazy they should have at the very least see what they could have got for Holden and Grabner. Holden is on a good contract but isn't that good and the offense in the beginning of the season could have improved his value. I think they should consider selling him in the summer depending on what they can get. In regards to Grabner, he's pointless in the last 7 games and is riding a crazy unsustainable 19% shooting percentage.I love Grabner but how do we know he is doing this next year. If they could've gotten a right handed defenseman, 1st rounder, or top prospect for him I would have been down.

I could see Benning having interest in Nash if Rick was willing to come to Van. What do you think a package from the Canucks would look like for him?</i></div></div>

They'd have to send a player like Burrows/Sbisa back and then throw in a prospect and a pick. Some thing along the lines of a Boeser, 2nd round pick and Burrows/Sbisa. To improve the deal for NYR, they could retain some salary. Depending on how much will determine the extra added by Vancouver.</i></div></div>
Yeah, I kind of figured about the same type of deal, although I wouldn't want Van to give up Boeser. That could end up looking like an Erat for Forsberg deal a few years down the road (not saying Boeser is going to be Forsberg good, just that it could be quite lopsided).

I was thinking something like Hansen (AV loves him), a 2nd, and one or two prospects that aren't of Boeser's calibre. I know the Rags will probably want the moon for Nash, but the reality is that he's on the decline with a big cap hit, so I'll be curious to see what the return is if he does get moved.</i></div></div> Coming from a Ranger fan I have heard great things about Tanev..... Would love to see the Rangers get him. What would be the price from a Canucks fan?

Thread: The Retool The Rangers Need
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsGuyFYI</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PotvinSucks</b></div><div><i>I disagree with you guys. Nash can get a very huge return. He is one of the best two way players in the league. Only 1 season removed from 40+ Goals. Injuries hurt him this year. If Rangers eat some of his salary he is a steal to many teams. If you actually look at his point production and defensive statistics he is tops in both. He is also one of the best penalty killing forwards in the league. The criticism of him is by people who don't seeing him scoring 3 goals every night and saying this guy sucks.</i></div></div>NASH DOES SUCK! If he had any value he wouldn't be in litterally every NYR trade thread every day. Based on what you NYR say of him he's got far more value to you than anyone else, so you can keep him.</i></div></div>
Just because he is in trades on a website doesn't mean he sucks. The main reason he is in so many trade threads is because the Rangers need cap space to sign RFAs and he would be a player that could get them back some of the picks/prospects they have traded away the past couple of years while clearing needed space.

Pirri wouldn't be scratch..it'd most likely be
Nash-Brass-Zucc
Staal-Step-Miller
Pirri-Hayes-Kreider
Lindberg-Moore-Fast
Stalb-Glass
or
Nash-Staal-Miller
Kreider-Brass-Zucc
Pirri-Step-Hayes
Lindberg-Moore-Fast
(same extras)</i></div></div>



I think he will play I just put him as a healthy scratch because I wasn't sure which line he would play on.
