Thread: A few moves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JokiharjuForNylanderLMAO</b></div><div>Solid offer to NYR. They’d accept. Just don’t think Calgary should do it considering the depth on defense already present. Should cut the deal 1/3 and rent out Kreider.</div></div>

Not sure they do. Bennett is only a 25 Point player over the course of his Career, and even now, he is way below that (having a terrible Season). Brodie is a UFA after this year, which doesn't help much in a rebuilding year. The other pieces are nice, but not enough for both. Even if you could swing Bennett and the 1st for Kreider, DeAngelo is worth a lot more than Pelletier and a 2nd, at this moment.

Plus, I think Kreider has all Canadian teams on his limited NTC.

Thread: Toronto- If Hank waived his NTC

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>I wouldnt want Hank tbh. Either Georgiev or Leafs go after someone else. I dont believe Hank would waive his clause.</div></div>

That part I agree. I don't really see Hank waiving either. Just wanted to post something different than the same Georgiev deal to the Leafs.

Quite honestly, not even sure they trade Georgiev. May keep all 3 throughout the Season, go through some sort of Buyout or "Coerced Retirement " with Hank over the Summer, and then go with Georgiev and Shesterkin from there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>uhm... no.</div></div>

Worth a shot. The only Ranger goaltender that they have a chance of reeling in with Bracco.

Probably could make the 2nd a 3rd.

The others I knew were off limits.

The likes of Bowers, Jost and Kamenev i figured were a possibility on that next tier.

Thread: Detroit What else would be needed

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR_Mike</b></div><div>Agreed, we need to get our Left side figured out before moving Skjei</div></div>

It's been said that DeAngelo can play Left. Played that side during his days with Sarnia. No issue.

DeAngelo.....Trouba
Lindgren.......Fox
Hajek............Rykov

And then have K'Andre Miller called up Mid Season (worst case scenario, as he could be available at the beginning).

Thread: Detroit What else would be needed

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>Yes it is. We have a log jam on defense with Miller and Lindqvist coming in the next year or two, and decent prospects like Hajek, Rykov, and Tarmo also on the LHD. Staal is immovable, Skeji is hit or miss most nights... I like this deal. Can throw in Anderson or one of the many D prospects we have as well if needed.

Long term perhaps it's possible for Trouba to move to the left side, so it's something like

Trouba - DeAngelo
Miller - Fox
Lindgren - Lindqvist</div></div>

Rykov or Miller (or possibly DeAngelo, who has played Left in the past) can move over. AA can slot in for Kreider after he departs.

There have already been discussions started about moving DeAngelo to the Left. Supposedly played there during his time with Sarnia and felt very comfortable there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EzioUchiha</b></div><div>Apparently, Hank didn't want to leave the Blueshirts even though he wants to win a Cup and the Rangers openly announced the rebuild</div></div>

If a Contender came along, maybe he mulls it over. Probably not.

He likely won't win a Cup as a Ranger, but at least he gets to stay with one organization his whole career. Especially Original Six. Seems important enough to him.

Thread: Sharks Trade for King Henrik

Sharks are already pretty low in the Standings. And while their Goaltending issues are obvious, their Scoring issues are just as worrisome. Bottom 7 in the NHL in both Goals Scored and Power Play percentage. Problems all over. Hank won't waive his NTC to join a sinking ship.

Didn't you also raise Hell with Ranger fans for months saying there was no way Trouba will sign with the Rangers because he is a Michigan boy and will only play for his boyhood team, the Red Wings? You've been wrong before.

Georgiev worth a 2nd and a Prospect. Maybe Rangers add a little bit since it's a high 2nd, but it's doable.

Don't think the 7th Rounder is necessary, but it's fair value. Rangers would take it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Is Skjei not playing at a level higher than a 2nd pairing D man? Cuz if hes capped at a 2nd pairing D, that's a fair trade</div></div>

He was thought to be top pair, but has struggled a bit with staying at that tier. But yes, easily a 2nd pairing Defenseman.

His Contract isn't bad, either. But with K'Andre Miller and Yegor Rykov both becoming realistic options in the near future, it just makes sense for the Rangers to make some Roster/Cap wiggle room.

Thread: BACKUP AND TONY D- NYR TRADE

Your Crap to Asset ratio is a little off. Rangers could be willing to take Ceci off your plate, but you have to make it worth it.

The 2nd and Bracco are the only reward in this package and that could be enough to get Georgiev. After that, we might as well be handing you DeAngelo for a bag of jock straps.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gregory_papas</b></div><div>say hypothetically the trade is 1 for 1. this works out for both teams. let's make it happen.</div></div>

I would love to work out a similar deal for Krebs, but I think Vegas would be even more reluctant to move him.

Thread: Vegas

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>If anything the trade would be 1 for 1. Both players really only have 1 good year each and Tuch has term</div></div>

DeAngelo has matched Tuch in Points over the last 2 Seasons in the same amount of games. And that's while playing on Defense. You're getting him on the uptick, while Tuch has struggled a bit.

And while Tuch's Contract is obviously great, you not only get DeAngelo for this Season (which matters more to Vegas while they are in a window for contention), but for 3 more years of control after that (assuming they don't sign him to a longer deal). That's not nothing.

Even if it isn't a 2nd, I think the Rangers could get something added on.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>I wouldn't trade either in a 1 for 1 deal.

NYR can keep Skjei, no point.</div></div>

Every Hab fan on this site wants to move Tatar. Rangers could use him to fill in when they trade Kreider.

Habs have a need at LHD. Rangers would prefer to move Skjei to make room for K'Andre Miller or Yegor Rykov.

Think it makes sense for both.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LumberJacques</b></div><div>I would do Tatar for Skjei but I wouldn't add much beyond that.</div></div>

I have always liked Tatar. While he is having a good Season, his Contract only runs through next year. Montreal would get this year plus 4 more Seasons of Skjei, at a decent AAV. Need something added to account for that.

Thread: Blues Trade and 3 Goalie Rotation

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Your not getting that for Kreider</div></div>

By taking on Steen, you could definitely get the 1st and Kostin. Maybe getting Sanford is a reach. Perhaps a lesser Pick, instead. Or maybe a lesser Prospect tossed in by the Rangers.

Thread: Massive Oilers Trade

I don't know. I kind of like the deal, but I feel like Rangers are taking back too much salary (between retaining on Kreider and taking 2 Cap dumps) to make the return worth it.

Fast could be worth Puljujarvi.

Kreider worth 1st and middle Prospect (adding Lias bumps it up to Yamamoto).

But then the Rangers are giving up Gross (which really isn't major, to be honest) and taking those 2 Dumps for nothing else.

Just feel like something else should be there. But the majority of that return is still pretty sweet.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gregory_papas</b></div><div>serious question, i know a lot of people on the site been pushing the bracco trade which i'm not totally against. but what good is it for the team if we put a tiny player who doesn't kill penalties and isn't known for playing good defense on the 4th line? sounds like a liability to me. imo, players like bracco are either top 6 or a bust.

i love Barron's numbers, never seen him play a min lol but if his numbers mean anything things are looking good for the rangers. moving from college to the nhl is a big jump. i can only think of 4 or 5 players that stuck to a team. barron might take more then 1 season in the ahl before he is ready for the nhl. which is fine, a lot of player have very good careers even if they get into the league at 23-24.</div></div>

True about Bracco. I moved everyone around on the Roster, while also mulling the option to resign Fast (still mulling).

Georgiev loses his waiver exemption soon. Kind of limits their Roster flexibility a bit with 3 goalies. And keep Shesterkin down in Hartford any longer helps no one. Kid is ready
