While there is a *lot* of speculation, Brooks seems to say that Hayes and Zucc are "destined to be traded on Monday". Kreider is also mentioned, but only "if the Rangers gets an offer they cannot refuse". The Rangers have 3 games to play before then, tonight against the Wild, Saturday against the Devils, and Sunday against the Caps.

Guess we should cross our fingers for no injuries to happen, and it'll be interesting to see if Quinn sits either player at some point.

Playing with fire here. Would be a disaster if any of them get hurt before the deadline

Probably will sit Zucc,Hayes and McQuaid, go with 11/7. Howden to IR retroactively for the cap/contract slots.

Pionk, Claesson and Lias all in and Zucc, Hayes and McQuaid sitting.

My tablet is at 54%. Thats a sign. McQuaid gonna be gone today, me thinks. Recalled Lias.......immediate 4th line replacement? Right.

Any serious PO team that may need a guy like that, should be willing to give up a #2 for him.......Regardless what we got him for. They shoukd have grabbed him off season and didn't. We did. He will be missed, similar to how Boston misses him. He is THAT solid of a 3rd pairing "enforcer" afficionado.

Heard Toronto wanted him, yeah well pay for him then! That will stick it to the Bruin.

Attention Gorton! USe Boston as your leverage/bargaining point. They might be headed for a PO series, and wouldn't you WANT McQuaid on your team as opposed to facing him?

It honestly makes so sense at all.

They want to give them a proper MSG send off, especially for Zucc. I get it. The chances of either of them suffering a devastating injury is small, but if i was GM I wouldn't be taking the chance.

However, it's all a negotiating game. If Jeff sits them tonight, all GM's know they are on the move for sure, and they get leverage in the negotiations. JG is probably trying to hold onto as much leverage as he can by being coy as long as possible.

Not saying I agree with this strategy, but interesting theory.

My phones at 99%. It’s a sign.

Gretzky’s lacing them back up and signing here.

Rebuild complete.

Trade Lias + for Duchene. Trade for Stone. Trade for Panarin. Extend Hayes and Zucc.

That's what I thought and posted on the roster building thread. I mean that has to be the main reason albeit most GM's have to know what is going on especially with Hayes and Zucc.
