Thread: Trouba in, Zucc out.

I was doing a Miller trade, but at that point couldn't figure out how to make the salary work, and I kind of know that Staal or DG won't waive, but moving Klein wouldn't be wise in a different trade. If Rangers go for Trouba, it's to help their D and have Klein on 2nd D pairing, not to then move him. It wouldn't make sense imo. DG has lost it a bit with injuries and needs to be sheltered on 3rd pair until he proves otherwise. If he plays well, he can remain and maybe move up to 2nd. If he doesn't, he can rotate in/out with Holden or Clendening. I easily can find a team and trade Staal but that just wouldn't be wise since eating 2m for 5 years is crazy. Rangers still have a forward log jam, but what are you going to do? That's why Zucc is moveable. If Nash is healthy, Kreider finally wakes up then the top 6 without Zucc won't hurt so much.</i></div></div> My issue is that Trouba needs to come back with a LHD.</i></div></div> It doesn't matter how valuable Zucc is, Winnipeg needs LHD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tilleyman</b></div><div><i>Yes I did play at very high level, in both the OHL and QMLHL and while your friends accomplishments are great for her, she does not play in the NHL therefore her accomplishments are meaningless in a discussion about what an NHLers might do. Furthermore, if she doesnt play for either the womens Canada or for the US National team program, what she has done is regional at best and therefore sorry to say but kinda meaningless when discussing NHLers. Also being in small in the best hockey league in the world is a far cry from being small in your local women or even mens league. Again you clearly dont know much about hockey........so I have to go and BTW.....Emelin would be stud in Arizona!!!</i></div></div> Prove it to me that you played in both the OHL and QMJHL. If you truly played in both those leagues I seriously doubt you'd be on here debating with a random person. Emelin wouldn't be close to a stud, at best he might protect the goalie more, but that's about it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tilleyman</b></div><div><i>You seem to place a lot of value in stats.....have you ever played hockey at a competitive level?</i></div></div> Have you played is the question? One of my shortest friends plays defense because she's insanely fast and comes from a heritage that values strict concentration and focus (Japanese), granted female and not professional, the point I'm trying to make is long gone are the days of big physical slow Dman (Like Emelin). Fast and not too big Dman like Keith, Karlsson, etc. have fantastic senses as well especially as their style of play is more durable and allows them to concentrate and focus better compared to physical Dman (Who no offense seem dumber for scientific reasons, aka more damage to head due to intense physical play). Either way I don't just look at stats, I also watch games, and again I'm mostly speaking of relative, when you play so much sheltered minutes and have worse stats than your team mates, while also producing almost no offense, oh and the fact that when I watch the games he looks terrible, well you get where I'm coming from in the sense that he's super overpaid and a terrible Dman.

If Arizona doesn't contend in the next decade with OEL on their roster, they won't contend for the next century with the proposal you gave them.
