Confirmed with Link: Stepan and Raanta for Arizona 2017 7th Overall and DeAngelo Mod Post #286

[Siddi]

The cap space is huge going forward but unless JG turns those picks into something useful the C depth is going to hurt us.

 

[FLYLine27*]

We wanted a PP QB, right handed shot, and guess what, we just got that. A 21 year old.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Absolutely horrendous and I wanted Stepan gone for a while now.

Our GM is a bad trader. Talbot, Staal and this trade are all mediocre/atrocious.

Only in hindsight and that wasn't his trade.

The other 2 were ****ing atrocious.

Where does DeAngelo even play? With Skjei? Who plays on the 1st pair?

It better not be Shattenkirk, not now.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

LOVE deangelo. **** were actually building a pool of good prospects now

 

[NYR Viper]

Yep with NHL experience.

 

[nyr2k2]

Weak return but it does afford us some flexibility. In a vacuum I hate it. Let's see what else happens.

 

[Charlie Conway]

Are there actual stories of DeAngelo having attitude problems, or is it just rumors flying around? Hoping it's not as bad as it looks.

I honestly thought Stepan would return a bit more. Pretty disappointed.

 

[Trxjw]

The more the shock wears off, the more I like it. Pending where that $7M in cap they just cleared gets allocated anyway.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Disappointed that we didn't get one of the Coyotes young forwards but change is needed. We can't screw up these picks.

 

[Calad]

Love this move

 

[Gardner McKay]

Ditto. But, as each second passes, I can slowly feel myself becoming less and less hateful

Maybe DeAngelo comes in and just kills it?

Who doesn't play defense despite being a D and happens to be a huge dick head.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I hate this move now, but drafting someone like Liljegren, Makar, Middlestadt, or Petersson could make this a lot more palatable.

 

[RangerFan23]

Can't judge the trade till we see what we do with the cap space. That said, who is going to play center? Also, just like the Rangers to finally have a nice pick in the worst draft in recent memory. DeAngelo is only 21 and D can blossom late. I don't love or hate it at this point.

 

[IamNotADancer]

Bye Felicia!

 

[howztheglass]

Agreed. Even with the cleared cap space, Shattenkirk is far too rich.

Not sure how I feel. Feel like they could have done better. And the team's strength (center) has now been taken away.

He lives and loves NY--in the summer he's in the Hamptons most of his time with the family.

Thinking he may take a 5 year deal to play at home. But I agree if it's 7 years have fun in the sun somewhere else.

Anyone think the Rangers may go after Hanzal to replace Stepan ?

 

[FLYLine27*]

Love this.

Can't wait for the draft tonight!

 

[Boris Zubov]

What was the point of giving them Raanta? Stepan alone should've been enough for that garbage return.

Hate this trade. We got fleeced.

 

[Rangers2319]

actaully not bad, step contract off books, then nash after his year thats 14mil in savings

 

[Crease]

**** it, I like it.

Team had too many overpaid players on it to compete for the Cup. Gorton is clearing them out.

 

[Charlie Conway]

Only in hindsight and that wasn't his trade.

The other 2 were ****ing atrocious.

Where does DeAngelo even play? With Skjei? Who plays on the 1st pair?

It better not be Shattenkirk, not now.

Re-sign Smith? Have McD or Skjei play the off-side?

Shattenkirk is just the typical FA get.

 

[Fugazy]

At least we can look forward to the draft for the first time in a long time

 

[Tawnos]

Deangelo is still technically a prospect right? Now our top prospect?

 

[Rangers2319]

just gotta dump staal now and offseason complete

 

[RangerBoy]

The Rangers should trade almost everyone. Time for a new era. Go young.
