Thread: Idk what our direction is honestly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Do you think Carolina will resign Pesce, or just move him elsewhere for pieces they like?

I think the Jets most likely extend Scheifele, but the last I heard was that Pesce was most likely going to be too expensive to extend for Carolina.</div></div>

It seems like more likely to move at this point but wouldn’t say it’s for sure. Issue seems to be term - we want 4-5 years max and he wants 7-8 years.

If they move him I’d imagine it’s either to flip those assets for a replacement or a top 6 add. EK sounds like the replacement they’re going for but who knows.

He also apparently is fine playing the deal out and reevaluating next summer. He’s got a 15 team list so has a bit of control and limits our options depending on who’s on there. I personally think keeping him and moving Skjei is the smart move but I can see both sides of it.

Thread: If I Were In Charge
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onlyfairtrades1</b></div><div>Yeah, this again. Why do you think the Bruins added Hathaway and Bertuzzi to an already stacked team that is on a record pace this year? Why did TB add Tanner? GRIT. Rangers need more, not less.</div></div>

All of those guys cost nothing in terms of salary $. "GRIT" is not enough of a reason to keep this albatross. You allocate 1, maybe 2-3% of your cap space to "GRIT", not 10% . for all the moaning about what "GRIT" means to a lineup, the best teams understand that it's something you address only AFTER everything that really matters is accounted for; skill, scoring and sound defensive depth. You can get "GRIT" elsewhere for cheaper and in someone who might do more than block shots and delivery poorly timed hits that take them out of position leading to goals against.

Thread: Lets be serious now
Timo trade is a lot of quantity but not much quality. Core piece is a 25 first which isn’t appealing. A lot of solid prospects but nobody sharks would be excited about. Realistically it’ll take 23 first and probably either Nikishin or morrow plus another decent piece like a second rounder or B prospect. That might be too much but that’s what it probably takes.

I really like the Bennett idea and made a couple posts about it. Not sure if cats will sell if they fall back and even if they did Bennett might not be someone they want to move on from. If they did you can take out the staals. I get the nostalgia but realistically that doesn’t help the locker room by removing guys like Stepan and CDH and doesn’t help on the ice either. Fans don’t need to get behind making a push, majority are already behind it. It’s more likely we’ll be upset in the moment if we don’t do enough. Otherwise it’s probably gonna take the 24 first plus a couple of lesser pieces I’d imagine. Maybe a third and a guy like Suzuki.
