Did I miss all the overreactions to the players we missed out on?

No they're still going.

 

[haveandare]

Eh, that price is very high. LA needed to pay it because they lost Mitchell thinking they'd have Voynov, then they lost Voynov too and got no value back.

NYR aren't that desperate for a top 4 guy and didn't offer similar value. Good IMO.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

No I think most people agree that this team shouldn't have tried to match what LA gave up for Sekera.

Rangers will either be shopping in the bargain bin or not doing anything. I'm cool with the former since I've expected it (as long as it isn't for crap) but the latter would be a huge mistake.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Sekera for a 1st and a prospect when we already have a Top 4 D?... Yeah no..

Winnik for a 2nd?.. lolz

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

-Knew we would miss on Sekera because no 1st. Someone was going to pony it up. WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE LA?? Really hope they either miss or lose in the 1st round. I hate them going deep every year. Sure would've been a nice add though.

-Hope we miss out on Vermette too simply because with us not having a 1st, it would probably cost Miller.


So what are our options realistically to upgrade the 6D slot?

 

[Ail]

The list of HFNYR trade targets are dwindling quickly. Panic to ensue.

LA also needed to pay that in order to have this done before Monday. People underestimate how much timing plays a role here. They paid extra for a guarantee rather than risk losing out by offering market.

This is true.

Honestly, they don't terrify me like some people are saying.

Sekera is their new Voynov. Similar team to last year. Not anymore stacked IMO.

 

[Tawnos]

Jan Hejda. Maybe Timonen.

 

[Kovalev27]

i never saw any need for sekera

hejda would be just fine

i'd rather just play john moore not many teams have a guy that good as their 6th.

just play the kid!

If we just went with John Moore, it wouldn't exactly be the apocalypse.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Moore might actually show he can play.. if he's not benched every other game..

 

[Vidic15*]

I thought it was a buyer's market. Not willing to pay these steap prices.

 

[Machinehead]

Agreed. I like Hunwick, but AV needs to stop juggling them. Moore has been good.

 

[eco's bones]

Boyle has 7 pwp points--8 even strength points. It's a little underwhelming. He went from the second pair to the third pair. Klein has moved to the second pair and has 25 even strength points. All that being said--Boyle has the ability to move the puck around on the pwp point better than anyone else we have with maybe the exception of McDonagh. Boyle is almost a last resort pk'er but we could do a lot worse on our third pair. I don't necessarily see him as a problem right now but I can't see us signing him again after next year. He's on the decline but there's still enough there IMO. C'est la vie.

Moore went with us to the cup finals last year. Lately he's been playing pretty decently. I'm okay with him. I'm really okay with Hunwick too and people have to keep in mind than neither of these guys are Stu Bickel--you can play them with a relative amount of confidence.

 

[Roo Returns]

Cole, Fiddler, and Letestu still all options.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Wheres Rust been? He still think Vermette will go for a 2nd?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Jan Hejda. Maybe Timonen.

Maybe on Hejda, but I doubt it on Timonen. The Flyers are in contention for the playoffs, I doubt they'd trade him to us anyway, and why should we give up much for a player who's likely only to have played one game before the trade deadline? He might even not play a single game before the trade deadline.

 

[Machinehead]

People keep bringing up Boyle's demotion, forgetting to mention that the 2nd pair has been an absolute abortion ever since.

 

[Kovalev27]

boyle should be playing with staal

dumb breaking them up boyle plays better with more mins

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

just find someone better than Glass, so that Stemp can become the 13th forward come the POs...

best record in the NHL since December.

 

[bobbop]

I'm still thinking Glencross.

And willing to bet Vermette ends up in Chicago by dinner time.
