Salary Cap: 2015 - 2016 New York Rangers Roster Building Thread Part V

[Ail]

certainly less significant than a primary assist.

By what measure? Two comes after one?

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

I mean we all knew this argument was coming as soon as someone handed him the stats to make it

So are you saying that you like using only statistics that prove your point? Quite a well rounded argument you make to keep Nash. Manipulation works both ways.

Can we pretend primary assists dont happen without secondary assists. Nash needed someone to set him up so he could make those 2 secondary assists. So in reality he had only 5 points.

And of those 5 only 2 mattered. Nash had 2 points in 19 games. Trade.

A secondary assist is probably the closest statistic to stat padding as they come.

 

[Cassano]

LeBrun said Eric Staal's agent is going to meet with Ron Francis to decide on his future.

One year left at 8.25m. Full NTC.

Seems like a Sather type move.

What about his meaningless goals?

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

What about his meaningless goals?

More significant were his goals than his secondary assists.

Even empty net goals are harder to achieve than secondary assists.

Jesus Christ no

lol incoming Nash for Staal trade proposals for a month.

 

[Cassano]

lol.

but still not as bad as the Kessel for Nash suggestions.

Okay so a late goal in a blowout game, winning or losing, is more important than a secondary assist on a gaming tying goal, or GWG?

 

[Rick Nash 61]

lol incoming Nash for Staal trade proposals for a month.

ffs pls no

 

[Doctyl]

lol.

but still not as bad as the Kessel for Nash suggestions.

You have no idea how badly I want Kessel on this team

 

[Doctyl]

yes.

 

[Doctyl]

Can we make 2nd assists count as negative points?

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

If you support trading Nash, that's fine. You have to also be supporting a major step backwards for this team. Something they shouldn't be taking at this point in time.

One more shot with Nash and a 34 year old Lundqvist. If its another cupless year, then reassess all options.

They should be looking to get Nash a running mate thats not the corpse of MSL.

Are you a masochist?

Pretty good post. If Nash is traded, IMO that's the time to blow-up the whole team.

Which final 4 team trades their best forward (by far) and can still remain as equally competitive?

Need a right-handed sniper.

And Stralman, of course.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Yes. This notion that a fictional return and cap space puts the Rangers in better position is bunk. And Im convinced its being pushed by a contingent that'd rather see big trades than assess whats best for the team.

Yes.

Moar heart, less broken bones.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Danny Briere? Really? Let's see what Bill Guerin's up to while we're at it

I mean yea if we want another choker
