One trade I'd make in a second and it would infuriate this board because it's not youth; Namestnikov for Grabner straight up. Our old buddy as expected is having a rough start in the desert. I think it would get Hayes going. I'm not saying Grabner would put on a Rangers jersey and all of a sudden turn back into our Graber or even good Islanders Grabner, but I'd rather watch the Austrian Express skate all over the place and help the PK than crowd killer Namstnikov or Spooner.

Your ownership and managerial group did everything right IMO. They did the anti- Detroit, and Habs way and drained themselves into nothing left in the cupboards. Montreal will fade, for the only player they have is Price. Detroit,...…...have they won a game yet?
Krug? 59 points last season. Wake me up when Lundkvist scores 10 in Sweden.
And can Lundkvist hit like Krug?
Spurgeon might be a good example, but he wasn't a 1st rounder, he was 6th rounder. Nobody should be using a 1st round pick on maaaybe a Spurgeon type player. It is really hard to get excited about a prospect like Lundkvist.

interesting. Smith or Shatt for Grabner would make more sense because they have same contract length.
I do, but I just wish I could see some highlights clips to get me more excited about his NHL potential. I like his hockey IQ, but I want to see something more tangible that makes me understand why they drafted him in the 1st round.

AZ is pretty set at D for their top 4. Their 3rd paid is young ELC guys and that's not including Chychrun who is out injured.

I don't think you realize how hard it is to produce in that league. EK had 10 points in 45 games as an 18 year old.
Yay, gotta love when someone who doesn't know shit about Lundkvist or the SHL is evaluating him as a prospect….

Well, yeah. If half the players in any deal don’t pan out it’s probably going to change how it’s perceived.
But that’s also the inherent risk of trading established NHL players for prospects and picks.
Fortunately, we’re not there yet and the young players we acquired look good so far.

If Hajek and Howden pan out anywhere near where they're capable than this was a good trade. That's not even factoring NL, nor the upcoming pick.
They got some seasoned prospects as much as straight up draft picks. So hopefully, it's a little easier to see light at the end of the tunnel. We shall see how this portends to the FO's talent evaluation with respect to trades.

As for Namestikov, I think he's played well since the benching. The points are not there, I understand that but I like the way he's playing. It's not that altogether different than Fast. I mean strictly in the sense that he's playing smart and defensively responsible hockey, making good plays out there.
That's my eye test opinion.

Some of the comments are not just full of utter disrespect, but also show a bitter lack of understanding. If you don’t just google ‘Namestnikov eliteprospects’ to look up his goals and assists and actually watch him play, you’d see he is amongst our better players so far. Admittedly, that isn’t that hard at this moment - but judging him merely on his points total is a joke.

I really don't like Miller's contract--particularly the term length. His production has been good with Tampa though that's easier on a very good team.
I don't like Namestnikov's contract though either--not the term so much as the compensation and he's not producing anything.
Which is better? Right now Miller's. Eventually though I think that contract is going to be awful. The way Namestnikov is playing right now he might not get another NHL contract when his term is up.

Namestnikov, to me, has certainly passed the eye test, and apparently is passing the advanced stats test as well. The raw stats...well I'd say it's partially luck and partially his linemates as well as him being a generally lousy shooter.
I'd really like to see him on the top line for a game or 2...if for nothing else than to see if it's just smole and mirrors...or if it is just really good play.

As I stated in the trade topic - I think it would be ideal if Gorton waited to move him. We are in no hurry to build his value and he has a two years contract - you can`t expect miracles playing him on the 4th line with less talented players. His points is not acceptable since he arrived here, but if they can somehow get him going and get Rangers a 1st in return instead of 2nd or 3rd pick - I would rather wait with the whole trade move.
