Thread: Ideal Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MethodMan</b></div><div>I'm not overvaluing anything.

The Flames aren't going to open a gaping ****ing hole at center ice to trade for a first and bigot with a poor attitude that cares about defense as much as he does human rights.</div></div>

Yes, Deangelo is an idiot who has shown bigoted and homophobic views but there are plenty of NHL players who have similarly shown support of the political figures and views that ADA supports (Eichel, Domi, Matthews, Johnson etc.) and none of them are valued less by the NHL because of it and it doesn't seem that ADA is either. The Flames have shown interest in trading Monahan and they have players like Lindholm and Backlund to use at center. I understand if you do not like Deangelo's political views (I don't either) but that doesn't mean that this trade doesn't work for both sides.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Doubt Sergachev would even waste his time on that offer sheet in high taxed New York City, Probably need to offer sheet him in the $7.5M to $8.0M range for him to sign it. He could accept $5M from Tampa and still take home as much as from the Rangers.</div></div>

While he would theoretically only make 100k less in Tampa if he took that offer of 5M, the tax code is a lot more complicated than that due to jock taxes and the ability to live outside of NYC so that you don't have to pay all of those taxes. When you also account for the bigger market in NYC and the larger potential for merchandise sales and sponsorship deals, Sergachev would likely make significantly more with that offer than the Lightning offering him 5M. However, take this with a grain of salt because I don't know much about the financial workings of NHL players.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MethodMan</b></div><div>Flames laugh, hang up, book a flight to NY, murder the Rangers GM and then after the funeral take a dump equivalent to this proposal and DeAngelo's character on his grave</div></div>

IDK what you think Monahan is worth but if you think that a 24 yo defenseman who was on pace to put up 60 points last year (and put up 5 more points than Monahan) and the 22nd overall pick is a horrible trade for Monahan than you really are overvaluing Monahan. Everyone can talk about Deangelo's character and political opinions but his teammates seem to like him, he isn't a locker room problem nor is he a problem whatsoever for the team so that won't affect his trade value.
I'd understand someone saying the Rangers overpaid here or that one of the other trades could use some work but this take is just bad.

Thread: Realistic TB Offseason
Not only is this hoping that Sergachev, Cernak and Cirelli take at least a 1 million dollar paycut, it also has Bogosian taking a paycut of around 1-1.5 million which I cannot see happening. I just cannot see a way that the Lightning are able to bring back all 3 of their RFAs and they might not even be able to bring back two of them if players like Johnson refuse to waive their NMCs. Johnson also might not even bring back positive value and you might have to give up picks to offload him as he is a 3rd liner making a lot of money in a time where almost every team does not have enough cap space.
There are plenty of teams that will be willing to pay Sergachev, Cernak, Cirelli and Bogosian a lot more than that and it doesn't really make sense for any of them to take those deals when they can join another team that is contending while getting paid a lot more. And that isn't even touching Maroon and Ryan making less than 900,000 per year.

Thread: Offers for Georgiev Strome DeAngelo Kreider and Buchnevich
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>saysthemachine</b></div><div>you guys are so cringe. what stats are you looking at? he has most of his starts in the offensive zone and has higher on ice goals against than even Smith does even with practically the same oiSV. He's not good. This isn't a secret. If he were a winger, I'd be impressed.</div></div>

Last year ADA had a +2.48% relative Corsi (to the rest of the team), a 3.2 Defensive Point Share, +2.6% relative Fenwick and 43 xGA last year. Even taking into account 56.3% of his shifts starting in the offensive zone, he isn't that bad of a defender and had around an average defensive season. Combine that with his superb offense and he is an extremely valuable player at only 24 years of age. Compared to Henrique, who is coming off possibly the best season of his career at age 29, Deangelo is the far superior player, is younger and is going to cost about as much as Henrique will despite not being as likely to decline.

Thread: The Probable Offseason At This Point
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StLHockey</b></div><div>Why does this deal make sense?

The Blues do not need to trade for a goalie. They’ll either sign a proven backup or let one of the 3 prospects they have be the backup to Binner. Secondly, if we trade Dunn why take a worse replacement? So we get a backup goalie and a bottom pairing defenseman. If the Blues move Dunn...if a huge if...they’ll look t upgrade offensively. They have zero need for goalies or unproven D. Especially with Perunovich, Mikkola and Reinke all looking to make the jump to the NHL this coming year</div></div>

Out of curiosity, do you see Hofer, Zhrenko or Ellis being able to play in the NHL next year? I was given the impression that they are all still a fair bit away from the NHL but I haven't watched them all that much

Thread: overpay but worth it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>I always find this argument funny....if deangelo is so good and a point making machine why wouldnt the rangers want to keep him, especially since you are trying to replace him with another Dman in this trade.
Its bc hes a seriously flawed player who is going to make too much money with padded stats due to points on the PP and 2nd assists (half of his assists were 2nd)</div></div>

It's less that we want to get rid of him and more we don't need him. We have two very good offensive d-men on the right side in Fox and Trouba with another on the way in Lundkvist so we don't really need Deangelo. With Deangelo potentially looking at getting 6M per year, we don't want to pay that much for something that we don't need so that is why we are looking to trade him.

Thread: Retool J Lafreniere Cirelli
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tkachinla</b></div><div>Gaudreau is worth multiple first rounders plus prospect(s). Kylington is worth a late 2nd. Phillips worth a late 3rd.

So the deal value is:

#9
+ 1st (2020 mid round)
+ 1st (2021 mid round)
+ 2nd
+ 3rd
+ prospects

...to move back 8 spots and still have a look at a Top 10 player in a really strong draft.

That's pretty good value, especially since there's a great chance Gaudreau extends in NYR.</div></div>

Gaudreau might be worth 2 firsts at peak value but the trade doesn't make sense for the Rangers whatsoever. Why give up Lafreniere making under 1 million for 3 years for worse prospects and Gaudreau who is several years older, due for a raise soon, plays a style of hockey that likely won't age well and gets paid much more the Lafreniere during a time when there might be a flat cap for the next several years? The Rangers won't want to trade the 1OA for anything other than a massive overpay which would include draft picks, young players and players that fit the Rangers current needs. This offer just simply is not that and without any guarantee that Gaudreau resigns in NY, the deal is a high risk low reward deal that the Rangers don't want to entertain right now.
I hope I don't sound too harsh and honestly it might be fair in a vacuum, but it just doesn't fit the current situation or the Rangers' timeframe
