Thread: Cirelli
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CharlieComp88</b></div><div>gonna def eventually move guys (which why im killing all the eichel for lafrenier talk- just killing me - like were taking eichels 10mm over lafrenier at 900k) old rangers do it. not JD and gorto. buch will become expendable, perhaps if the RW talent develops. meanwhile there is room for him. but lots of kids - we can def afford to keep kreids and we can keep him happy with pp time- (plus myb lafrenier is 3rd line to start)-</div></div>

All those reasons you just mentioned are why I see buchnevich as expendable now if the return is a center. Offensive numbers from him to Cirelli aren't very different nor are their possession statistics. Cirelli automatically holds more value as a center and his defensive game is better which is why the Rangers would need to add.

Thread: Pens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Galchenyuk get you a 3rd? lol
I mean honestly would I give up a 3rd for him. No. Any team paying for him is a playoff team. And I have to be real when I say this. If I'm a playoff team looking for help. He's not who I'm looking at, at this point.

I think he's a throw in for cap reasons on a "cost of doing business" at this point unless he's a pure hockey trade 1 for 1 with another guy who's gone bust up on another team.

As far as Kreider to the pens. I don't think it's a fit. I don't see them paying up on a 1 year rental.
He'd have to come with an extension for them to do this. They will probably not have a 1st for 2021. So my guess is they keep this years.</div></div>

A 40 point player to a contender for a 3 isn't that outlandish, especially in this situation where they retain and he costs 2 million. I know he's having a down year but as far as pure rental options at that price tag its not a bad option.

Thread: Fleury
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WalterT</b></div><div>Rykov, Miller, Robertson, and Reunanen are all in the pipeline. Hajek and Lindgren need ice time to see what we have with them. At this point we need forwards because after Kravstov and Barron the younger kids are really raw.</div></div>

Out of all of those names only 1 projects to be a top pair guy. And none of them seem to be ready for a consistent role in the NHL. Is that talent, is that the way DQ shuffles guys in and out. Now dont get me wrong I think a lot of those names could become quality NHL defensemen but it's never a bad idea to stock the pipeline with talent. You can add depth on the wing in FA or trade market. Hard to find quality defenders who aren't going to cripple your salary cap situation.

Thread: Fleury
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Far. It's far.

Fleury's potential isn't materializing. He is still a fringe player unable to keep his NHL 3rd pair spot every night.

Kreider's value is going to be through the roof at TDL, even more if he agrees to an extension. We are talking a first, a second and an established NHL player (see Pacioretty, Stone deals)

You could ask Google to learn more about Fleury, that's what I do instead of asking strangers. No offence. People are quick to love/hate any player here.</div></div>

As much as I love Kreider hes not getting that package. And all Google tells me about Fleury is that he has good possession numbers but has seen his TOI regress the past 3 years. That's why I wanted other people's input who have seen him play more.
