Will (should) rangers trade into the first round of 2013 draft?

[68Forever]

Will the rangers make a splash at the draft to try and grab anything from this supposedly deep draft ... Maybe trade mcilrath for a mid to late first rounder ? Or two of our European prospects for a late first rounder

I'm not sure McIrath gets the Rangers into the mid to late first round. Not sure the Rangers want to deal McIrath anyway as they have invested a lot of time in him.

Teams dealing first round picks don't want other, lesser prospect. They want quality, not quantity.

 

[GAGLine]

Won't happen. No way McI, Fast or Lindberg are getting traded.

Why would we do this? Who cares.

 

[NYRKING30]

I would be shocked if that somehow happened.

As much as we all want a 1st rounder, i dont see it happening. Just bite the bullet this year and have something to be excited for next year.

 

[TheRightWay]

For what reason? Would it be nice to have a first round pick? Obviously. But I don't see the pressing need to get one just for the sake of saying we have one.

Just win tonight so that Columbus does not end up with Seth Jones from our #1 pick.

Why would we trade good known quantities for an unknown? I'm all for trading vets or picks. But we aren't going to move prospects for picks.

Because it makes the draft more exciting for me. Duh.

I forgot about that.

I forgot about that.

The way it stands now, I'm not even sure I'm going to get drunk on Draft Day. THINK ABOUT THAT.

Meh, I see no great necessity. No reason to shuffle assets just for the sake of shuffling them.

See post 12.

 

[The Gloaming]

So trade a prospect for an unknown, less ready prospect? Really?

 

[silverfish]

I could see them moving into the first round.

Maybe some team will be dumb enough to trade the rights to negotiate with Clowe early for a 1st or 2nd rounder

I got flamed for this in the Moore thread, but I can really see, and I mean really - no sarcasm here - see Del Zotto getting shipped at the draft for a 1st round++

 

[RangerBoy]

Ship Marc Staal to Carolina for their #1 as part of the package.

We have a draft thread.
