Rumor: Friedman/McKenzie: Shattenkirk trying to pick his spot, and it's the Rangers.

Its going to take Vrana to get it done

good thing mcphee isnt the gm anymore

He turned down a pretty damn lucrative contract from Tampa.

Safe to say money isn't the driving force in his decision. I'm also pretty sure he'll want to win sometime during the duration of his contract and wouldn't be too keen on sitting through a rebuild.

Tampa isn't a 45 minute drive to his home town like NJ would be. He can get the $$$, be close to home and stay out of the spotlight in NJ. It's not too far fetched of an idea. He also played for the Devils youth program back in the day.

Bowey? Not left handed but our top D prospect.

 

[Tawnos]

Yeah, I can imagine that being the fault line. No idea what Shattenkirk's situation is, but I'd imagine at his age he may not necessarily be looking for what, say, a college FA is in terms of night life.

Interesting that a poster above noted 80%. Honestly never would have thought it would be that high.

True. The Rangers practice facility is pretty close to where he grew up also. Not to mention that the Rangers facilities are widely considered among the best in the league, whatever that means.

I don't know what his situation is either.

yea if it happens it probably will be bowey and a first

caps have sigenthaler up and coming

 

[Kasperi kapanen]

Fleury+Pouliot+1st?

 

[Bar Down]

Maybe Pouliot(or draft pick), Sundqvist and an active roster player for Shattenkirk? Rutherford is known to be quite crafty with his trade deals.

We don't need any D prospects. We have Dunn, Schmaltz, Walman, Lindbohm, and Mikkola (our next Parayko w/less offense).

I went to grad school with Kevin's brother and spent a little time with him too - FWIW he really digs the Rangers and is also good friends with Wayne Simmonds. As a Flyers fan, I'd love to see him in orange and black.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Fleury+Pouliot+1st?

Don't want Fleury or Pouliot.

 

[Bar Down]

I'd say Fleury, but aren't the Blues pretty solid in net?

What a creative idea...

 

[PG Canuck]

Fleury+Pouliot+1st?

Crap for Shattenkirk.

 

[Bar Down]

What a creative idea...

*Rejection of an idea. Nice try.

 

[Kasperi kapanen]

Don't want Fleury or Pouliot.

How do you know?

 

[hockeykicker]

washington has a good amount of forward prospects available outside of vrana

theres boyd, barber, stephenson, sanford, galiev etc

 

[Kasperi kapanen]

Crap for Shattenkirk.

He's a damn rental.

 

[PG Canuck]

He's a damn rental.

Doesn't matter. You're not giving garbage for a highly touted rental.

 

[66-30-33]

Going to suck if it ends up being Sprong, 1st, cap dump for 50% Shattenkirk.

 

[Kasperi kapanen]

Doesn't matter. You're not giving garbage for a highly touted rental.

Okay sir. It won't happen again.

 

[bleedblue1223]

How do you know?

Pouliot is a bust and we are not investing in both Allen and Fleury.

Cap fans seem to really overrate some of their forward prospects.

 

[Kasperi kapanen]

I would assume Allen either comes back or you leave Fleury unprotected for the ED.

 

[PG Canuck]

Okay sir. It won't happen again.

All you have to do is take a look at the responses to that proposal.

Most of those carry little to no value.
