LeBrun: Nash, Grabner Trade Deals happening; both pulled from lineup tonight (Mod post #353)

[hardnosed]

Wonder if Vegas is kicking themselves for taking Oscar instead of Grabner.

 

[Riptide]

The guy scored 27 last season and already has 25 this year in 59 games with no pp time and playing with mostly bottom 6 players. The guy is a defensive beast aswell. Some serious underrating going on.

Doesn't change the fact that no one will give up a 1st for him. I can't stand the thought of the guy on my team and think anything over a 3rd will be a waste, but we'll see how it plays out.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

He's a good player, but you're not getting a 1st for a good bottom-6 player (which is what I've seen him described by Rangers fans to be). Something equal in value to a 1st? That's more reasonable, but I can't see any teams trading a 1st in a buyers market with a supposedly good draft for Grabner.

I would guess that we are getting something worth our while if we are trading him before Monday. Something that would CAUSE us to not wait until deadline day.

call up due to someone going on i.r. more then likely.

taking a quick look at BOS cap situation, getting R.Nash in there with his cap hit would be pretty difficult. NYR can obv retain, but even if they retained the 50% max that's still a $3.9 hit that needs to be fitted in somehow. And I can't see NYR being willing to take on any $ unless it's a player on the last year of his deal.

 

[tom leafers]

I would welcome him back on Toronto for sure.

dont know what the rangers would want though- Komorov, leivo and a 2nd?

i think they're doing just fine

. . . and who would that be? Hell, Kreider is coming back. So a call-up would be perplexing. Especially a call-up of a forward.

We haven't played in 3 days, no one is hurt.

Uh... you don't need to fit the entire $3.9million. Only the remaining amount for the season.

The better question is what % of teams are kicking themselves for exposing the player they did to Vegas

ah ok I misunderstood, thank you!

 

[Rangers in 7]

He's a good player, but you're not getting a 1st for a good bottom-6 player (which is what I've seen him described by Rangers fans to be). Something equal in value to a 1st? That's more reasonable, but I can't see any teams trading a 1st in a buyers market with a supposedly good draft for Grabner.

You can say that he'll bring back a 1st, but what team is giving up that 1st for him? I've heard multiple GMs say they're flat out not trading 1st rounders or great prospects for rentals.

you keep saying this is a buyers market.....it really isn't

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Soo you say "Done Deal' then go back and say you don't mean done as in trade? Think before you tweet.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Things are ramping up!!

 

[Deadly Dogma]

there is a nasty bug going around. All this speculation could be the results of Zucc having the squirts lol

 

[Kanneda]

How reliable is this guy?

 

[dracom]

It is though. A lot of good players are available, if the price for someone is too much they won’t pay for it.

I can see how you can loathe the possibility of adding a speedy winger that can slot anywhere in the lineup, kill penalties and score 30 goals without any power play time.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Rumors of more teams approaching Rangers today





Rangers recalled an AHL forward, but are already at the 23 contract limit

Rangers play tonight

"Nash is a done deal, just a matter of what package."

Then he's not a done deal

 

[Alluckks]

Literally in the 2nd post of this thread lol

 

[Langdon Alger]

How reliable is this guy?

I’d take it with a grain

 

[Flat Ronnie]

How reliable is this guy?

Lawler was a GM in the NHL....hes probably not chumping around like Eklund and kypreos.....
