Thread: 24-25 Without Chytil

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jcu2wire</b></div><div>Why do most people here insist on buying out Goodrow? A buyout would cost the Rangers over 8M compared trade at a 50% discount which would cost less than 5M.</div></div>

It depends on what level of "sweetener" would need to be added to move him. If they could dump him for a bag of pucks, or just have to add a mid Round Pick, then go for it.

But if it costs premium assets in order to get rid of him, than the Buyout becomes the better option.

Thread: Lets discuss

I don't think Drury did bad, overall. Definitely banking on Roslovic turning into Vatrano 2.0.

Got decent pieces without giving up decent assets. Savvy.

I think most of the irritation comes from seeing the huge moves made by Florida and Carolina in the East, and then Vegas and Colorado out West.

None of that you could blame Drury for. Just the feeling of dread that these moves might not be enough to compete with those Big Dogs.

Thread: Current 24-25 Situation

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>Lindgren is hardly worth $4M. If he demands anything above that you trade him for a 1st and look for an improvement (Chychrun, Hanifin, etc).</div></div>

The less, the better. Was trying to account for what a 4 year deal would look like with rising Cap #'s.

Had him initially at an even $5M. Went over a bit just to see what fits.

If they could get an AAV of $4.5M over 4, I think I'd be happy with that.

Thread: Help me out with prices

Eberle and retention for a 2025 1st (maybe a 4th, too)

Buchnevich can supposedly be had for 2 First Rounders. Would rather give up those late 1st's and keep someone like Othmann.

Feel like Tuch's price will be insane with 2 more years of control remaining.

Vatrano should cost 2024 1st, a 4th and one of Sykora or Berard.

Not getting both Othmann and Sykora. Especially if it sounds like Vancouver is dropping out of the mix.

Not even sure that package gets Henrique, nevermind a year and a half of Vatrano

Thread: Wennberg seems like a foregone conclusion

2nd and 4th should suffice. No need to give up a Top Prospect

Thread: Vatty Rico

Even if you are down on Schneider, there's no way in Hell Edmondson brings in that value.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AEcho</b></div><div>Value is there for Novak, just don't know if NSH actually does it considering they are talking about resigning him now.</div></div>

Keep hearing that. But considering his increased production over the last year and a half, feel like it would have been done by now.

Thread: NYR Trade Deadline

Besides the fact that Anaheim wouldn't accept that deal, trading one RW for another is a zero sum game.

Add to Roster. Don't subtract from it as you Add.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nightowl26</b></div><div>that offer for Nashville is horrible. Why would they deal him? and if they did, you are way off in value</div></div>

Everyone is worth a 1st this year, apparently. Value isn't that far off. If anything, adding the B Prospect should be enough with the 2nd.

Thread: Verbeek Lurking Around MSG

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>xxToothxx</b></div><div>NY can't acquire Tarasenko again, atleast not with any retention.

No Henrique is absolutely not worth a 1st
Imo same for Vatrano. He just getting opportunity, he always has shot the puck alot.
Still not a 1st round trade equivalent.</div></div>

That only applies to someone while they're on 1 particular Contract. Tarasenko can be acquired with retention, because this 1 year deal he's on is a different Contract than the last one they had initially acquired him on with retention.

If you don't like Henrique or Vatrano, that's fine. But in a Sellers Market, with both needing retention, and the one with an extra year of control, these are the price tags.

Not saying they should absolutely do it. But you're not getting them for a middle Round Pick each.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 29 at 1:01 p.m.

Thread: Go time

Trading Kakko for another RW is a zero sum game. Especially with his play improving, as of late.

Focus on Picks for Tarasenko.

Thread: Verbeek Lurking Around MSG

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>xxToothxx</b></div><div>Lol... of NY was actually offering 2 1sts , deal would have been done long ago.

There is no possible way 2 1sts go for players like that.... atleast use some common sense.</div></div>

Not saying the Rangers will absolutely do both of these deals. May instead look to Tarasenko, Wennberg, Novak or others outside of this package.

But common sense would show that these are the appropriate values for each of these individual players, especially with 1 having an extra year of control. With retention on both.

Thread: If the Devils Dont Snap Out of Their Funk

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>1 trade total in the history of ever.

You've offered a 1st+3rd of value. That's the standard ask for Toffoli retained.

Turn that 3rd into a 1st and theres the price for the rangers</div></div>

Still don't think it would drive the price up that much. But at the very least, his presence on the market could positively affect the prices of Tarasenko, Eberle, Novak etc

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>To sell to the rags it costs 2 1sts. To any other team sure.</div></div>

These teams have made trades before. And while I don't doubt they would ask more of the Rangers, it would at least be reasonable.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoSeider53</b></div><div>Detroit is #1 on the 4th period board for Frank Vatrano and they're fairly accurate. Yzerman has strong interest in both Chychrun and Vatrano per Pagnotta, Seravalli and Friedman.</div></div>

Fair enough. Rangers could just pivot towards Tarasenko. Or another package deal of Eberle and Wennberg.

I'm pretty sure he could play either side. Offense isn't his strong suit, anyways. More of big body, Stay at Home variety.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>even if the value on both sides equals out- doesn't mean it's a smart deal for NYR.
If they move the 1st, they gotta get back a player with term.

The only considerable players with term I can think of are Dowd and Laughton. And besides the fact that I'm not overly enamored with either, the 2 Division rivals that possess them will undoubtedly rake Drury over the coals for their mediocre services.

It's a Sellers Market right now. Everything is going to be more expensive than usual.

Thread: Eberle and Wennberg

Kravtsov_Stan had a similar proposal. Considering it's a Multi Player deal with double retention, I think this is more than fair.

I actually think this is fair, all around.

1st Rounder in the mix. 2 Prospects for retention. And I like Bogosian as a Vet 7D.

Well done

Thread: Trade Deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bbpagewolf</b></div><div>Market’s already been set. You’ll have to overpay to get anyone this year.</div></div>

Elias Lindholm, the Top UFA C available at the time, didn't rake in this much.

That being the case, the market will not dictate that the 4th best UFA RW will rake in this crazy amount.
