GDT: The Trade Deadline

[Alluckks]

Well, Namestnikov's CORSI has been insane for 3 years, whatever that is worth

 

[Levitate]

Interesting that most of the speculation was that we'd be targeting young players who were NHL ready as returns. Other than Spooner and Nemestnikov, who both appear to 'role players' rather than top line talent, it ended up being a bunch of moves that we won't see the results of for a few years yet.

I wonder if they view some of these guys as close to being ready. Do they think maybe Howden could push for a spot next year? Get Lindgren out of college and into a spot? Hajek ready to turn pro?

I doubt it'll happen but maybe they feel out of those guys there are some who might make the jump

 

[BleedinBLUEsince92]

With our glut of C prospects and 1sts round picks anyone have the feeling we will offer some type of package to Coyotes for Domi?

 

[TheTakedown]

When you step away from the emotion, it’s actually a fair deal. Spooner probably allowed Miller to be moved, so you get a different skill set for a player that you were not going to sign long term. You added four more quality assets. You now probably 8 of the top 100 picks in a deep draft.

THIS. If you lump the Nash trade into this, then Spooner + Namestikov is actually way better than Miller on his own. One of those 2 gets flipped at the next trade deadline.

 

[bleedblue94]

I think you will see some more roster players moved with the tbl and or bos pick(s) as nyr will be very active at the draft in the first round...

Gotta assume that Howden, Andersson and Chytil all get a long look in camp; but it's a fair gamble if they are expecting/hoping all 3 of them to contribute right away

Zuccccccc.

Doubt it. I personally wouldn’t want to either, not a huge fan of trading for reclamation projects

 

[Bring Back Avery]

So... basically we've gone from the team with the most American born players/prospects to the team with the most Russian born players/prospects...got it.

doubt it, would expect howden to go to the ahl for some time and stagger the infusion of youth a bit.

 

[17futurecap]

Good on Gorton for not waiting until today to move Nash and Grabner when you see the returns for Kane, Maroon, Vanek, and the Wings not being able to even move Green.

 

[E-Train]

I'm happy with the work Gorts did. One asset short on the McD deal but good overall. Going into the draft with Zucc, Spooner and Namestikov on the table can add even more picks this year and next. Very strong drafts coming up. This is more White Sox than Yankees but I'll be really happy with high picks in these upcoming drafts.

 

[Larrybiv]

Wow, still don't think this has all sunk in yet. But, now we can move on and allow these kids to play, let them grow together where leaders will emerge and stars will be born!

 

[hagsfan924]

I can see us trading Kreider (and maybe a pick) at the draft for Puj. Zuc for picks and prospects.
Sign Kovalchuk or JVR in the summer.

Kovy/JVR Zib Puj
Spooner Namestnikov Buch
Prospect* Hayes Fast
Vesey Lettieri Carey

*Howden, Chytil or Anderson would be in competition for this spot

On D...
Skjei ???
Shattenkirk Staal
DeAngelo Bigras

Lunqvist
Georgiev

??? could either be our top pick in the draft, a free agent signing, or trade? I doubt any of the guys we acquired would be ready to take that spot so we're definitely weak on D.

 

[Avery16]

Seems like we were just committed to moving McDonagh

For the right return

 

[Irishguy42]

Gorton was 4/4 on trades this deadline.

5/5 if you count moving Graves.

 

[n8]

I guess we are building a Russian super team. Tatar for a 1st, 2nd, 3rd is blowing my mind. THAT is a fleecing.

 

[Irishguy42]

So... basically we've gone from the team with the most American born players/prospects to the team with the most Russian born players/prospects...got it.

And Minnesota

 

[Richard Banger]

We didn't win with the Amercians might as well try with Russians.

 

[NYR94]

Rangers added a good amount of assets. Not all will remain Rangers, some might not even last past draft day. It will be interesting to see what Gorton can do with the flexibility and potential for further deals over the summer. Can't get too high/low 3 hours after the deadline. It's a long term project now.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Namestnikov's twitter says #90 for the Rangers. Georgiev gonna let him take his number?

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Also Hajek wears #3. Soooo if he ever makes the team I'm guessing that's 33.

 

[BBKers]

Sign mike green as a ufa and flip him at next years deadline. Oooops

 

[bleedblue94]

Doubt it. I personally wouldn’t want to either, not a huge fan of trading for reclamation projects

correct, sather is no longer the gm here.

 

[Blueblood9]

are we gonna do a prospect ranking now that the deadline passed? i never partook but always read them. interested to see how all the new guys rank with what we had
