Thread: Draft Day Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>I agree with the notion that the Rangers are desperate for possession positive players. They have the worst possession numbers in the league as of now. Just think the easiest way to do this is to start with an absolute stud prospect and build around it. Just don't think Raddysh is enough of a stud to build around. Point yes, Serg yes. But I don't think Tampa is parting with those pieces.

Rangers could accomplish this too just by buying out Staal, getting rid of Kampfer and Holden, and bringing up the kids. In addition, if you wanted to sign a positive possession guy like Alex Biega, or Mackenzie Weegar, or even Radko Gudas that's a move. But Dotchin just doesn't have enough ceiling either to build a trade around.</div></div>

Oh god no Radko please. Those guys have positive possession numbers BUT they aren't going up against the top talent every single night. Dotchin is, and he puts up fantastic defensive numbers. He's essentially a Stralman like player circa 2014. As long as the kids come up next season and not this current one then I'm all for it. But Dotchin IS a kid still. 23 years old and can still play heavy minutes on the first line with Shat and he'd be incredibly affordable.

Thread: Draft Day Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>No interest in Raddysh, sluggish skater who is poor at defense, padding points by parking himself in front of the goal. Dotchin is Connor Carrick. A nice possession guy sure. But We can have Connor Carrick for cheap. Tampa and Boston don't have a prospect inside the Pronman top 50, which indicates ceiling, You need top line or top pair talent coming back for a top 20 D man. End of story.

Blue Chips mean top 30 prospects. Cody Glass, Nick Suzuki, Eric Brannstrom, Jordan Kyrou, Robert Thomas, Timothy Liljegren, Eeli Tolvanen, etc etc. Raddysh is trash compared to these guys. Not a centerpiece.</div></div>

I do not read any ESPN coverage of the NHL. I don't like Pronman as a writer, or an analyst so maybe that's where the divide is for our opinions. I believe Raddysh is a top 50-75 prospect in the NHL and has great offensive upside. And the Rangers need a player of Dotchin's caliber, especially for Shat. But like I stated before, this is the trade I picture TBL and NYR to make IF its at the deadline. Otherwise he'll be dealt at the draft and then MAYBE another team can provide a better deal. I believe that it's more likely he gets dealt at the draft.

Thread: Necessary Trades pt. 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>I'm just not sure what you mean in terms of development. Aside from Theodore, they don't have a defenseman under 25. I think the question most gm's ask themselves is whether they'd like to be pretty competitive for 4 years or win the cup in one. I think all of em take the latter.

If we're going by what the market is: Keith Yandle gets a 19 year old who had 8 points in 18 games. a 1st rounder, a 2nd rounder, and a former 1st round defenseman, who's now in the Devils top 4. McDonagh gets more than that because he's a more 2 way player. Now I feel like I've adjusted for that pretty well. IF I dropped the 3rd rounder does that sway your opinion?</div></div>

I don't think you can compare the Yandle deal because the Rangers were in a much different situation. They were going all in for the Cup. VGK has a bright future with their future picks and prospects. Rangers wanted to mortgage the future in order to get Yandle. Why would VGK do the same for a player that they'd have to resign to long term expensive contract that would impede on them giving their future players contracts? I just don't see VGK ever saying yes. I don't see them even calling. Not only that but with the inevitable Seattle expansion, that just adds another body that would have to be protected.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>They weren't planning on immediate success but now they have it. Crazy how plans turn out. They also have 2 of their top scorers on expiring contracts, and enough cap space to resign McD. You're telling me they wouldn't jump at the chance to gain a 1D without losing a roster player?

Have a strong feeling this site over values prospects compared to NHL GM's</div></div>

But they don't need a 1D. That's my point. I think they'd jump on the chance to resign their players and continue to develop. I honestly like the idea a lot. A trade between VGK and NYR would be awesome but two prospects, a first rounder, and a third rounder for a player they don't necessarily need seems excessive. It makes more sense for TBL to take a run at him before VGK does.

I have a strong feeling that you think you're the smartest on this site and don't receive critique well.
