Speculation: 2-way top 6 C to the Rangers

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

What players are available/available for the right price?


Larkin?
Horvat?

Someone under 28, preferably 22-27 years of age. Left handed, good on faceoffs. I wouldn't mind some physicality.

Very few players are off limits on the Rangers.

Edit: Horvat and Larkin are probably really expensive, i just used them as examples! But I'd love to have one of them on the Rangers. What are we talking there?

Horvat isn’t even close to available. The identity shakeup of the young core losing its captain would be 100x worse than any return he could possibly get. Not a chance.

Also, is this really “speculation?” Seems like a “proposal” or “value of” more than anything.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Just sign Danault

 

[ThankGord]

Larkin isn't available. He's one of the very few players Yzerman mentions by name when he talks about building the Wings.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Go full WWE heel and target Couturier??

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Eichel.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Probably too expensive, we already overpaid Goodrow.

Also It'd be nice with a real 2nd liner.

Danault is ideally more of an upper echelon 3 rd liner/2nd line tweener on a future contending team.

 

[Bondra slapshot]

Honestly, the thinking here is a lot better already. Stay away from Eichel. Far better ideas out there for the Rangers than Jack. I'd think the only untouchable for the Rangers would be Fox when it comes to finding a good, young center.

If Danault is too expensive, I'm not sure who would be a realistic option for us. I don't really want Danault in that position, but any under 28 year old real 2C, good on Faceoffs and brings some grit will probably be in that too expensive range for us.

Before we make a serious push for a #2, we need to first find out the following.
1. Can Chtyil take that #2 spot if given a real shot?
2. Will Zibanejad be moving on or will our organization re-sign him.

If the answer is question 1 is Yes, and Zibanejad prices himself out, we now need a real #1 instead of a 2-way 2C.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Larkin yes Horvat Yes Kopitar Yes (if Kings move him)




Eichel no

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

Rangers fans wanting Larkin is quite comical. First off, he only has two years left of control. Secondly, Yzerman owns New York and I don't trust Drury negotiating with Stevie Y. Third of all, Chytil put up similar numbers to Larkin with 4mins/game less ice time and no power play time. Chytil has improved every season, Larkin has regressed the previous two. Trust the process and stay away from Stevie Y!

 

[Kurrilino]

Kopitar is your man. There isn't a more elite 2 way center.

Kakko + 1st will do the trick

 

[48MPHSlapShot]

From a Canucks perspective Horvat is very much so not available. I imagine the same is true of Larkin.

I think a more realistic scenario would be trading for or signing an older stopgap and developing your own pick to fill the void.

 

[jaywills1020]

At his age? He’s a great player but there’s no way I’d pay that for him.

 

[Linds]

JT ( 200 ft) Compher is your man.

 

[threeVo]

Cody Eakin for Strome + 2nd. Maybe NYR add a little to close the gap in value

Danault is likely too expensive long term but I could see a 1 yr only overpay stopgap, 7.25 FOR 1 YR ONLY.
Danny boy may go for that.

We are not being swindled of futures for an aging star.
And you have the nerve to complain about NYR offering Buch for 8OA.
get real

Cody Eakin for Strome + 2nd. Maybe NYR add a little to close the gap in value

beyond horrible.
Eakin = ass.

 

[hockeyarena]

wouldn't they just sign Danault if they lose out on Eichel?

 

[jay from jersey]

Just trade 1st plus prospect for Dvorak and he done with it already

 

[threeVo]

beyond horrible.
Eakin = ass.

Fine make the 2nd a 3rd then BERNBABY

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I’d trade Horvat but Lafreniere must be included in the deal.

 

[bernmeister]

Fine make the 2nd a 3rd then BERNBABY

You can keep your own ass.

 

[TBF1972]

Eichel.

and if he has to play lefthanded buffalo can't expect much more than a second.

 

[threeVo]

You can keep your own ass.

Girgensons for KK instead? KK is a defensive bottom 6 winger. Girgensons has offensive upside and can play on all 4 lines.

 

[mpp9]

As a Pens fan, I hope you don’t sign Danault.

You guys start playing a tighter defensive game with your weapons up front, the division is there for the taking.
