Thread: Kreider to Boston
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BSpadaro83</b></div><div>Just like last trade deadline and the one before and the one before, the prices arent these wild permutations. Kreider is going to go to 1 of Boston, Colorado, St Louis or mystery team 4 at 50% retained for a late 2020 1st Rd pick and a B-/B/B+ prospect. The price is the price and there are clearly teams willing to pay it.</div></div>

I am a Rangers fan and this is EXACTLY what the return will be. Same as for Hayes last year. The only negotiation will be which is the best prospect they can possibly get back between a B- and A- type grade. Any team that gives more than that is a desperate overpay and the 1st rounder will be a the 25th - 31st pick. The Rangers will then package that pick with their own 1st to move up and grab someone in a position of need such as LW or C

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>Few tweaks:
1. Lias as 3C- centering Names and Strome...Krav starts year in Hartford- not a punishment for him- but allows NYR to "showcase" Names and Strome as 3rd line players so hopefully one or both can be traded by mid season....best case- one or both bring back good value (once the trade market opens up)...worst case- they both tank- in which case waive one of them to make room for Krav at/around Christmas
2. 4C- the "winner" of Howden vs McKegg. If Howden- then he centers Lemieux and Fast- with McKegg as 13F. If McKegg- then he centers the same with Nieves as 13F and Howden starting in Hartford- to get big minutes playing with Krav.
3. Rykov starts in Hartford and Lindgren starts as 7D....but this is only desireable if Lindgren is given a chance in spelling Hajek and Staal to the point where he is playing in about 1/2 the games...any less than that and he is better off playing big minutes in Hartford with Smith in NY watching games from press box.
4. Buch starts on 1st line...Kakko to 2nd</div></div>

I completely agree with this. It sucks that they have to send Kravtsov down essentially because there is no room with Names and Strome, Gorts has to move one ASAP because you can't have your #9 pick from last year not on the big club getting used to NHL speed everyday. Send Smith to the coast and save money that way, guy can't even skate backwards anymore

Thread: Takeaways from tonights game
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spanky227</b></div><div>a little bit more:
- Crawley and Smith can be cut and should never be a "thing" again
- Hajek played very well
- Sheshterkin was solid but not solid, he dropped a few pucks there which scared me. Chalk it up to nerves for now.
- Skjei was unimpressive, hopefully it's just rust
- Like Trouba's size, but needs to move a bit quicker in the D-Zone and on the backcheck. His offensive game was nice
- Kakko fit right in
- Andersson looks like he improved a lot, I liked him and Kravtsov together
- "WOW" - kreider
- Panarin
- Did i mention Panarin?
- Panarin Again</div></div>

Agree with all of this, send Smith down to to save a bit of cap and sign Tony D to $1.25mm to end this nonsense as he would thrive in this offense.
McKegg would look awfully good on the 4th line if he played like that every game
Trouba pinched too hard a couple times because he probably thought Skjei would cover but he was too busy making snow angels
Igor will start the season in Hartford as he still has to get used to the angles of a smaller rink and the speed of the game
Andersson looks like a different player and I really hope he and Chytil can secure those 2C, 3C roles
