Thread: the summer is complete
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>I don't think those are apples to apples. Shesterkin gets sent down because of Hank and Georgie. Rykov gets sent down because he's injured and missed all of training camp and preseason thus far. I do hope to see some of Rykov and Shesterkin this year in the NHL though, and I'm sure we will. Thanks to some Gorts wizardry, we have the cap space to keep a healthy 23 man roster all season

I don't think Kravstov plays all 82 games, but he belongs on the NHL roster, playing ~60 games as long as all go well. We already know what Strome and Vlad can do; let's see what Kravstov has to offer</div></div>

Rykov has Euro out clause which is why i think he should be 7th defenseman (i have him in minors instead of smith at the moment.. can he really be worse than smith?)

Shesterkin belongs in AHL to get adjusted to the ice and to get more playing time.. Hank will play 40+ games this year, Shesterkin could get 40+ games in the AHL at least with another 10 in the NHL.

Kravtsov belongs in the NHL-- he just does, i know it's preseason but we haven't had a forward that stretches the ice like him in a while.. i'm sure it'll bite the rangers a few times him jumping out early but so far he looks like he uses his hockey sense to only go at the right times. The moves he tried to pull of in the first game didn't always work, but he's still learning how to do them against nhl players.. i'd rather have him try and fail then fill is spot with someone like Fast.. i think he can definitely help Andersson have a breakout season on the third line.. Will he play 60 games? possibly, i think he'll probably sit 10-20 of them.. but he has too much talent to potentially waste away if hartford is terrible again.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>warnken21</b></div><div>My feeling based on your post is that they won't keep three goalies up. That really doesn't make sense. I believe that with the way Smith played the other night warrants him straight to the AHL. He was absolutely atrocious. McKegg is good! I wish he was our fourth line center tbh. I agree moving Fast may have to be an alternative if we don't want to get rid of Kreider or if we can't find a trade fit for Namestnikov or Strome. This team has the chance to be something special!</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>Vitali Kravstov would like to know your location.

3rd line RW to start the year - guaranteed

Trade Strome and Namestikov, keep Fast and Kreider</div></div>

Like the description states, I don't like Kravtsov beginning in the AHL.. he has a very bright future ahead of him, but if Shestyorkin and Rykov get sent down, they may send him down too. Nothing against him, they'll just have to build up the value on the people they wanna trade-- sending them to the AHL doesn't do that
I think McKegg could fill the Fast role-- i'm sure we can send off Fast for a 3rd rounder (maybe get our conditional pick back from Carolina?)

Thread: New York Rangers signed Anthony Deangelo (1 Year / $925,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>Shattenkirk will take up just over 6 million next year actually...yikes.</div></div>

he's taking up 2m currently.. so it's a 4m additional as i said


edt: if you want to get real specific, he takes up 1.483m this year, and will get a 4.6m increase to 6.083m next year. Girardi takes up 3.611m this year, and goes down by 2.5m to 1.111m next year.

Fast= 1.85m
Strome = 3.1m
Namestnikov=4m
Cap increase=2m (minimally)
Girardi Decrease: 2.5m
Total Decrease: 13.45m
Total increase: 4.6m

Net gain: 8.85m

If they don't resign kreider add another 4.625 to that for a total cap free of 13.475 to resign DeAngelo... unless he turns into Erik Karlsson, Drew Doughty, etc.. i think we're good

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div><strong>Where do you see a "decent chunk" of cap space opening up next season? </strong>

I see a bunch of free agents that will probably command modest raises (and a couple to might command large raises).

I also see Shattenkirk's buyout cost increasing from $1,500,000 this year to $6,100,000 next year (a $4,600,000 increase).</div></div>

Fast - 1.85
Strome - 3.1
Namestnikov- 4

It’s abt 9m coming off. Girardis buyout decreases by 2m so you are at 11. Take into consideration cap escalators and you’ll be at 13 minimally. So shatty takes up an additional 4m, so you’re back down to 9m.

9m if they wanna extend Kreider and deangelo. Fast and strome are most likely gone, fast being the more likely gone

Thread: Kreider value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>Constantly 😂😂😂 he broke the 50 mark only 2 time in 6 season, that not what i call constantly. Went you said you bring comparable, they must be similar. That a concept you don’t quote understand. Tatar and 3 years left, and hartman was a former first round pick wirh rfa right. That leave us with grabner. You didn’t bring any metric either you are just a rangers fan who think kreider is worth way more then he actually did.
And yes its crazy to think that they will get gurianov + a first round pick. You don’t seem to be a first grader at school simple thing are hard to understand. Gurianov is worth more for dallas then for the rangers since the rangers have a better pool prospect. But he still have major value in dallas, but that to hard to understand. They are not trading one of their best prospect for a sauna boy. Brannstrom and a second &gt; than gurianov and a first is your opinion but in fact its a 16 overall pick and a second rounder &lt; 12 overall pick and a first rounder. Both have prove nothing yet in nhl but both still have a potential so stop
Dreaming of gurianov dallas isnt trading him.

Joel l’esperance and a first round pick would be a package that dallas might consider, or gurianov one on one with kreider. And its about time its been 3 days that you argue with yourself just to try to convince yourself of sauna boy evaluation you made. If scout and gm would do trade like that nhl would be a circus. So mister not the sharpest tool
In the box try something different with kreider because i will come every single time telling you how off you are.</div></div>

LMFAO you obviously need to work on your reading comprehension. I said he consistently performs at a 50+ point pace which he has done the past 3 years (please actually read stats as he missed about 20 games with an injury two years ago and still put up the pace of 50+ points as it was 52 per 82 game) and prior to that he build up with a 46 and 43 point season prior to those two so yeah he's pretty consistent. Grabner was playing 3rd/4th line minutes on the rangers while kreider was playing 1st line minutes.. so IDK how you are saying they are the same player when grabner has been a career negative possession player when Kreider is a play driver (career +4.6 cf%). I'm not going to keep doing the research that you should be doing before calling a player a POS.

And in defense to 16th overall + 2nd overall not being greater than a 12th overall and a 1st, you are skewing the reality of the situation. Brannstrom has done nothing but increase his value as a prospect while Gurianov has not (he's lowered it significantly). Prove me wrong on that please

In terms of more stats,
hes in the 94th percentile for goals per 60
hes in the 99th percentile for CF%
hes in the 97th percentile for Rel xGF%

so yeah he's gonna cost a bit.. the below image is a comparison between him and hayes at the trade deadline when both were available

Bullshat. If there one person here who seem to don’t get it i think we all know who it is.
You support your statement with only your love for the rangers and the will
To hit a home run with that trade but team gm are not stupid. They don’t trade away pick and top prospect for your own satisfaction. Kreider isn’t worth near gurianov and a first so soon you will open your eye and better it will be at the deadline when sauna boy got trade for a reasonable package</div></div>

LMFAO... the only thing you've stated is that you think kreider is trash because he consistently performs at a 50 point pace. You didn't bring up any underlying stats or metrics, overview of his play, or anything of that nature. Similarly, you didn't bring up a single fact about Gurianov (curious right?) because you cannot defend that he is at most a b- prospect. The "comparables" you have mentioned were not brought up by you, they were brought up by me. The only one you keep saying is Mark Stone when Brannstrom&gt;Gurianov+1st. AND they also got a 2nd round pick as well.
To quote you earlier:

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>And they ended up with a second and a third that the trade value of zuccarello. Kreider will fetches a similar return maybe a conditional 1st if the team reach the stanley cup or if he resign with the team and a B prospect.

Stop acting like you don’t ask too much for 53 point career high second line winger. You keep asking for gurianov and a first even if dallas as block your number on the phone.</div></div>

Since Gurianov isn't a B prospect, lessen the condition (like the zucc one) to conference finals or resigning kreider (obviously pre draft would be a 2020 pick and post would be a 2021 pick).

It's not out of hand to think kreider could fetch a 1st and a b- prospect at all. I'm done arguing with your nonsensical BS so don't bother responding

Trade that include kreider. This pieces piece of trash is the justin bieber of hockey. No team will even call new york. There rumors he is
The posada of the rangers, he enjoy a little
To much the sauna. Kreider the best available players at the deadline, jesus if it his kreider the best players nhl team are in trouble. And just because new york as a weak top 6 doesnt mean he is worth near a first round pick. Maybe dallas doesn’t gave a shat of Kreider and is sauna treat. Dallas isn’t even offer a 2nd
Rounder for the sauna guys. He isn’t worth of penny more wayne simmonds.

En plus c’est pas parce que les rangers disent que plusieurs équipes se battent pour c’est services que c’est vrai. C’est le truc le plus vieux au monde. Partir des rumeurs pour augmenter la valeur.

You clearly mot the sharpest tool in the box! Kreider is trash and is value is in the sauna</div></div>

lol just sayin kreider had more points than everyone but Seguin, Radulov and only had one less point than your precious Jamie Benn.. he got more than 20 points ahead of the next forward... so keep saying he's trash when he is better than 75% of your forward group :tearsofjoy

and look at the pending UFA group.. almost all forwards are on playoff contending teams.. so they won't be sold at the deadline.. which would make kreider the best forward rental at the deadline.. I will never say he's the best in the nhl, idk where you are getting that. You cannot support your statements with any logic whatsoever and are a waste of my time. I'M DONE.

lol look at the history of trades at the deadline buddy...

Tatar got a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick (career high of 56 points btw).
Grabner got a 2nd and a b- prospect in Rykov (career high of 52 points btw and didn't get more than 40 in the previous 6 seasons)
Ryan Hartman got more than a 1st round pick (his career high was 31 points btw)

I have never said that Kreider will get the same return as Stone..
Gurianov did not even make the top 100 in 2017 on <a href="https://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-top-100-prospects-ranking-2017/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-top-100-prospects-ranking-2017/</a>
In fact, since 2016 he hasn't made any list of top prospects (i only found one where he was ranked outside of the top 50 @ 51)

Brannstrom just made the top 25 (he was 21) <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nhl/news/nhl-prospect-rankings-top-50-players-nhl-pipelines-2019-20/f5rpke886k4d1a2st6s5ym20x" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nhl/news/nhl-prospect-rankings-top-50-players-nhl-pipelines-2019-20/f5rpke886k4d1a2st6s5ym20x</a>

Just as Kreider and Stone are very different, these two prospects are even further apart.

Stop acting like Gurianov is the next coming of Bure, Panarin, Tarasenko, Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, etc.... At MOST he'll be a kreider type player and even that's a big if.. He was a gamble @ 12th overall that did not pay off. Just like zucc's trade was, dallas gambled when there were better players on the board (Barzal, Connor, Chabot, Boeser, Aho, etc) and it did not pay off. A second and a third was not the "trade value" of zucc, that's just what it ended up being. The trade value was a 1st round pick but Rangers took a gamble and accepted the potential for less in hopes that it would turn out into TWO FIRST ROUND PICKS. Dallas wanted to resign him but he wanted too much term (they only wanted a 3 year deal) and they were one goal away from the other first rounder (remember game 7 went to OT).

Kreider is a top 6 winger and will most likely be one of the best rental forwards on the market (if not the best as the pending UFA class is weak for non-playoff projected teams) come TDL.

Thread: Kreider value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>You won’t get something even close to the hayes deal. First centerman is way more valuable in a trade than winger. And second mark stone is by far superior, or kreider will not get a close return like that rangers should look more at a zuccarelo trade. Maybe something between.</div></div>

Lol did I ever say a top 20 prospect in the nhl? No I didn’t. A top 20 prospect is worth way more than a late first and stop acting like that’s all stone got, he also got a 2nd and a lower roster player. The rangers gambled on zucc because they had so many picks already the last few years that it was worth it to potentially get two first rounders, because that’s what Dallas was willing to potentially give up for him.
