Thread: Rangers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Holden isn't needed by the Leafs but JVRs 29 goals are. And those two picks...could be meaningless. Leafs could get more at TDL if they wanted to trade JVR and that way they would have JVR for 80% of the season.</div></div>

This. And if Mik signs for 4.5 it'll be for just a couple years. He's probably looking at ~$5 million.

This also puts NYR in a hole for a couple reasons. 1) They don't satisfy the C depth issue, 2) they only have $200,000 to work with throughout the year, 3) JVR is probably capped at 30 goals. Sounds like an older and more expensive version of CK and JT. So they probably don't resign him after this year. Which leads me to 4) you just gave up Holden (who cares) and 2 big draft picks when your organization is already struggling with prospects.

On the surface, this looks nice. But in the grand scheme of things, this does nothing but harm NYR.

Thread: The Rangers are not getting a 1st line center for Nick Holden
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Icegirl</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joseyourbrose</b></div><div>How many Holdens are on NYR?</div></div>

That's not the point. They did a bunch of offers to show what they think Holden could fetch.

OP, that's why I'm giving you 3 stars instead of 2; gonna balance the score out. Of course Holden alone will not fetch a 1C, but when you add some other pieces to him, a team that needs defensive depth could cough up a 2C. Bozak for Holden+ seems less likely now, but the Rangers could probably get Spooner for Holden and a 1st/2nd. All four teams would be "making out like gangbusters here compared to [the Rangers]" because defensemen are typically valued more than forwards. Holden had a career year and has some talent on both sides of the puck; the problem is he's not very smart. Still, Holden alone could give the Rangers at least a 3C.</div></div>

I realized this right after I sent it. Apologies.
