Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXXII: Draft Day in Chicago - My Kinda Town?

[duhmetreE]

Does Nash @ 50% retained, net us a top prospect?

McDavid? Drai? Zib?

Im sorry should've clarified. Id never buy more than 5 UFA years at a time. So those guys with RFA years id give more

 

[TheBloodyNine]

If it comes down to between NYR and VGK for Dallas to trade the #3 with, what do they want? More prospects or NHL players who can help them win now?

Doubt it. He has a reputation for not performing in the playoffs(warranted or not). The only places i could see him waiving is to a contender.

Nash doesn't have to ask to waive for 15 teams. They are probably upper echelon teams but still.

 

[GregSirico]

welp, no need to worry about signing tj anymore!

wow!

Staal. They want Marc Staal

NHL players.

They're in win now mode.

I'd be tempted to dangle the Zuccarello carrot to Dallas, but if the need is there I'd be just as happy to do it next March if the Rangers are out of it.

Dodged the Oshie bullet. Now let's hope New Jersey offers Shattenkirik $8m a season

How could he not?

He also has not had an elite center to play with any season in which he has made the playoffs.

Look at the past cup champions. All have elite number one centers. You can say what you want about Nash but he certainly has not had a premium caliber center dishing him the puck.

He would be deadly if he did.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

If I'm the Rangers I'm shopping Nash to Chicago. He's morphed into a two way player similar to Hossa in the last few years. Bring Arty back!

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Are there any connections with Dadonov and the Rangers?

Played a season with Buchnevich, currently plays for the team that our best prospect plays for. They've watched him play a lot.

 

[GregSirico]

If I was a betting man, Nash does not finish the season with us. That quote by JG basically says 'we are heading in a different direction'

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I very much doubt EDM would do Mcdonagh for Draisitil... Mcdonagh's age is a reason why..

Also, IMO, if Edmonton gets Mcdonagh they would be playing in the Stanley cup final. he would help the team THAT much.

 

[bernmeister]

McDonagh for MacKinnon

man that's so juicy

IMO would take massive overpayment of McD + skjei min for them to even think about it

If you're trading Mac, you better get a HAUL back.

He's only 21 ... that makes it even juicer.

If he's moved at the deadline I think it would likely be somewhat similar to the Hansen trade for Goldobin

Yes Nash sucked in the Playoffs when he got here, but the past two Playoff Runs hes performed outstanding... SO i guess it would be whether or not teams believe his recent work is more indicative of his true ability

 

[DanielBrassard]

If RB is right and this is the direction Gorton is going, why haven't we traded McDonagh to Dallas for Honka+#3 yet.

You can't just go full blown fire sale and trade your captain. You need some balance between building and veteran leadership. That and McDonagh is worth more than that IMO. Top 15D in the league, and now we finally can see him without an anchor tied around him.

Nash for DeBrincat

with 2 years left on a great contract... which means the return would be massive for a rebuild. he's their BIGGEST asset if they're rebuilding.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I think trading Nash comes at two points:
Either

Tonight to get back into the late First

or

Trade Deadline for a 2nd

 

[Clown Fiesta]

They aren't dismantling what we have, they're probably going to try stay competitive and infuse youth to fully take over in a few years.

I'm telling ya, Nash to Chicago makes too much sense. We retain a percentage and take some cap back. Anisimov preferably.
