Thread: NYR TDL Feb 20 Predictions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jagrno68</b></div><div>Add Skjei and Torcheck to the Florida trade. Florida keeps the fourth and the 3rd is conditional if they resign Fast or Florida plays two rounds in the playoff and Fast plays more than 50% of games.

I think the rangers will ask for studnick in the Kreider trade from Boston.</div></div>

Neither Sjkei nor Trocheck will be moved at the deadline. Makes little sense for Panthers to give up their 2C while pushing for the playoffs, and I think NYR will not get an offer for Sjkei that will be worth it. Sjkei could certainly be dealt at the draft though.

I think NYR will ask for Studnicka but will not get him. Beecher is still a very good acquisition.

This is not what I necessarily want to happen; this is my best guess.

Thread: trades w SJ COL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>sounds like sakic just Rained on all the rental Kreider trades with his media scrum today.

not interest in the rental market, would like to keep their first, no interest in moving top prospect, injures right now dont change their plans
they are looking for hockey deals not rentals

could be a smoke screen but hes been pretty straight shooter when he does speak to the media. Are looking for a third goalie, he did say that. So the Rangers trading for one tonight makes it interesting</div></div>

I think every GM is going to say something similar to what he said; they want to keep everything close to their chest. They all want hockey trades if they are able to, but that's not always the case. I would not weigh his words too heavily.

Trading for Berube was likely because they were thin at goalie after NYR called up Shesterkin. I do not think it had anything to do with any of the goalies on the Rangers' current roster.

Thread: Carolina is so stupid
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Not really, Bokk's gonna come in and do the Gauthier role, we just got a free D man for it</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>Agreed with it being good for both sides. This take about Canes being ‘ so stupid’ seems to be isolated. Seems like the rest of the fan base really liked Keane.

Both fan bases being opposed to the deal likely means its good for both teams.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jslongo</b></div><div>Sucks losing Gauthier as I think he was a 'fan fav' prospect for the Canes. I dont think anyone "wins" this deal as of yet.

When coming to moves like this, the Canes have been pretty smart in doing so.

Everyone freaked out when we pretty much traded Saarela for almost nothing, and its looking pretty good now.

Canes are clearly selling high on Gauthiers best season</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FireBotts</b></div><div>So instead of losing Georgiev or Lemieux they lose Keane/Goat? Oh no!!!!!!</div></div>

This is a very fair deal. Both have been very good in the AHL, and both team are addressing their needs. Nobody is getting a "free" defenseman or power forward. Both teams are giving up a type of asset that each team had an abundance of, and in return, they get a good type of asset they needed. The end. It's a fair deal, and a good deal for both sides.
