Thread: a couple trades- please read description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tormundgiantsbane</b></div><div>That's a good point, he could be instrumental in getting the core ready for contention, even if he's not around for the actual payoff. I guess I would be down then. Just depends what the return would have to be. If it's Buchnevich and Robertson, honestly I would probably do it. If they start asking for other futures like Krav, it's not happening for me haha.</div></div>

Agreed. I was originally looking at someone like Vince Dunn, but he is too valuable to only have him short term. Plus we have players who can take the role that he would (and that we would have to pay him to do). They just are not quite ready. I think that between his age and term and likely desire for a raise (ekholm), we could potentially get a very solid deal.

Thread: a couple trades- please read description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VijayPatel11</b></div><div>Buchnevich is not a potential top line forward... he scored 46 points with Zibanejad and Panarin
Matthew Robertson could end up being a top 4 Dman, sure! But it's not guaranteed.
Vatrano is not a "depth forward," he can score goals while playing a gritty game and is useful for any team's 3rd line</div></div>

he didnt play with panarin at all. He did play with zibanejad and kreider (this is still very good). He also missed some games due to injury, this injury came at a pretty terrible moment (it killed his momentum). He also put up these numbers while only getting minutes on a very sub par second pp unit. He has the offensive skill to be a top line forward. And I tried to compare this deal to the kapanen to pittsburgh deal. I may have been a little cheap but I think it is pretty close.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tormundgiantsbane</b></div><div>Unfortunately I don't think so. Ekholm is a top 4 D and would probably be a 1D on the current Rangers team. I think it starts with Buchnevich, however I didn't realize he is a UFA next summer (2022)... in that case, I think it's probably best to stay away from Ekholm, especially since we are not ready to contend yet. We have guys like Miller and Lindgren already and Zach Jones and Matthew Robertson coming up soon. I think the left side is probably fine and he'd be a UFA by the time we are ready to seriously contend.</div></div>

It is hard to explain, but I think that ekholms contract situation, style of play and leadership will help us reach actual contention much quicker. But unlike Trouba, we wont be committed to him for many seasons. He serves his duty in the next year and a half then heads elsewhere and is replaced by one of our many prospects. While the rangers have the skill that is necessary to contend in a season or 2, we do not have the maturity. Our third period collapses and the horror show that was the playoffs last year show that we still need to learn how to play in playoff style games. I think that Ekholm can both show the young guys how to approach these high intensity and physical moments. Additionally, I think his skill can put us in a place where we play in more of these high intensity games. Thus, when his contract expires, the still young roster will be well prepared for what hopefully will be numerous deep playoff runs and maybe a cup or 2.

Thread: Potential Idea- need to fix bottom six and defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>" we need every player and line to have a job that they can do well" I kinda understand your point but professional hockey isn't exactly played that well. Players have to offensive and defensive on the same shift. Certainly every player have to average to good on a few aspects their game.</div></div>

I understand your point that everyone needs to do everything, but when you look at our lines they don't really make sense. Is our third line a physical line, is it a scoring line, is it a 2 way line. The answer to all these questions is no. So what do they actually do other than fill time. I am not looking to put together a line of all grinders or 2 way guys or playmakers, I am looking to create a line that will help us do something. If we can send our third line out and know they will shut down an opponents top line, or lay a couple big hits to change momentum, etc. we will be a much better team. Looking back at the team that made the cup, everytime players like Derrick dorsett, boyle, and dom moore were on the ice you new we would not be scored on. They would win every faceoff and be very composed and play very responsibly.

Thread: Potential Idea- need to fix bottom six and defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>WIN rejects, this doesn't do anything for them.

We reject the STL trade. At best Dunn's a number 4 while Buch can be a top line winger with the right center</div></div>

I know the winnipeg trade is flawed, we would likely need a third party to send strome and the inclusion of a prospect. And with the dunn part. Vince dunn is a very good 2 way defenseman who would seriously help our defense. We would have 2 borderline shutdown lines. And I know buch's potential, but you have to look at the abundance of wingers we have who will likely be top 6 guys in the future. If we trade buch tomorrow, our top 6 will definitely become worse in the short term, but it will give kakko and laf the ice time they need to develop. Additionally, we would be so much more solid on the back end.
