Thread: Is Byfield an Option

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Trading down a spot of two isn’t an option. Soon as you offer la or Ottawa they will know you aren’t targeting laf and will pass on any trade. So taking him outright at 1st I don’t think is as large of a leap as some may suggest. For being in the same draft class the age difference is rather significant. Finding top 6 centres can be tougher to acquire than wingers and in this case I actually think it would be foolish not to strongly consider.</div></div>

Plus he doesn't have to play right away. If I take Byfield at his very young age, I give him 1 year to marinate in the AHL. Bring him up at 19 for 21-22. Doesn't affect his ELC at all.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JumboJoe</b></div><div>if they’re close in value then maybe choose the player that fits team needs but in this case they aren’t

Definitely pick Laf

If you really want Byfield just trade down a spot with LA</div></div>

Trades are always an option. But given how deep the class is, don't know if it is worth it to trade away a ton when they will still get a good player.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McRanteskog</b></div><div>Always take best player available which is Laf in this case.</div></div>

Absolutely. Never question of who was better. Definitely LaFreniere. Mainly just a question of need. Loading up more on a position you are already set with, or satisfying another area where you may be lacking.

Thread: Would you trade from 1 to 3 in draft

Borgstrom is in the same category as Lias, at this point . Sort of a bust pick looking for a change of scenery.

While the mid 1st is nice, giving up both DeAngelo and Buchnevich for for that pick and a player we could basically swap Lias for isn't worth it.

As well as he has done in the AHL, nothing he has done has translated at the NHL level. Teply I can entertain. Sikura doesn't move the needle.

Yeah, was just trying some different takes. I know he is valuable, but I am not sure if Teply would be enough. Might have to be a different variation.

Thread: rangers trade

Strome's production over his 2 years as a Ranger (regardless of Panarin) is better than what Stastny has put up over the last 2 years in Vegas. On top of the fact that if they chose to resign Strome for 1 year, the amount would easily be less than what Stastny makes next year. So in that regard, it makes more sense to keep Strome for 1 year than to go out and get Stastny for 1 year.

If the Rangers deal Strome and Georgiev, I think they prefer Long Term assets. The 1st Rounder you offered is nice, but they each can probably get a combination of 2nd's and/or a Prospect (and less expensive). As excited as I am for how quickly the Rangers rebuild has gone, I don't think they want to give away assets for a one year player, just yet. One more year to ramp things up, and they could consider these moves.

Thread: Nashville Ottawa Sharks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>We easily reject the NSH trade, Buchnevich brings much more to our team than what his stats say

Smith likely won't cost that much to move, and we could just keep him and bury him in the AHL

I'm pretty sure we want to keep AG but value wise this is pretty solid, well done. Might want to drop the 4th tho

Also keeping Chytil on the 3rd line and keeping Howden (and playing him at C) just aren't things we should be doing</div></div>

Buchnevich is definitely important. I just don't see him in their Long Term future right now with all the younger options at RW coming up. Gauging interest.

I don't like Howden on the roster at all. Could pickup an affordable UFA option, or hopefully Morgan Barron finally signs. Just left him, for the moment.

While it's presumed that they can dump Brendan Smith in a place like Ottawa, we are still going to be stuck with Staal on the Left side for one more year. Just no real reason to bring McCabe on board.

Probably not bad value. I know many Ranger fans want a pair of 2nd's for Georgiev. Detroit gives up just 1 for taking Smith.

Tampa doesn't want or need Trouba he's at least $1.5 million overpaid.</div></div>

Tampa is in Cap Hell. More moves than this need to be made to fit everyone.

Even if Trouba isn't the guy, Tampa definitely has a much bigger need on Defense than amongst the Forward group.

If the Rangers move DeAngelo, it will be for a Center. More of a position of need, and one that a sought after RHD could acquire.

No point in trading away a major asset (as well as Georgiev) for an expensive LW, when we already have 2 expensive (and productive) LW's on our Roster for much longer term.

Doubt if Vegas does that trade. They would have to expose Georgiev possibly in the Seattle expansion.</div></div>

Why Georgiev? If they still have both Georgiev and MAF on their roster by time the Expansion Draft rolls around, it makes much more sense to keep the less expensive Goalie in his mid 20's, and jettison the Goalie in his late 30's making $7M in his final Contract year. Fleury doesn't have a NMC.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>Why is Vegas trading for a goalie? They have MAF and trying to keep Lehner.</div></div>

Many Vegas fans have shown interest in Georgiev, as of late. Between not wanting to pay top dollar for Lehner (due to Cap constraints) and possibly wanting to move on from MAF, I guess some were interested.
