Speculation: 2014 - 2015 New York Rangers :: Roster Building Part XVIII (The Mourning Edition)

“@RangersBelieve: For all we know Duclair could turn out like yakapov... Or this could be the next McDonagh deal. It'll take a few years to see who really won”

This is true...could work out, or bite us in the ass for years to come.

 

[haveandare]

i guess management believe Buch is the better prospect to keep, hence why they are trying to get him over on a PTO...

Yandle is a ****ing beast too...

but damn, Duke?!

I agree. Duke is a painful loss, but there's a good chance his spot would have been questionable if the team has faith in Buch.

Look at that D now...and next year... pretty incredible IMO.

 

[Doctyl]

Sucks to hear about Duclair. But really you guys can't be mad about today. We got Yandle and Zucc is about to sign. We are a favorite this year and next year we will have one of the best defenses ever assembled for a full season.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

we want the cup.

Better get the cup...

 

[nevesis]

“@TSNBobMcKenzie: Zuccarello extension with NYR is not done but getting close. Still working on NTC provisions. Likely to be four years, AAV of $4.5M.”

 

[Killem Dafoe]

I'm so excited for our PP now. lol

 

[GAGLine]

So this means slats thinks very highly of buch

Or they like what they see from Tambellini.

 

[Ola]

i would rather have traded for Kimmo

Yeah I liked Duclair.

But let me say this again, Yandle at 50% retained is highly tradeable at the draft.

I wrote a post on this this morning, suggesting Duke and McI for Yandle with Slats swinging Yandle at the draft for like a Mantha.

 

[New York RKY]

Zucc at 4.5 is a beaut.

 

[GAGLine]

When Yandle's contract is up, most likely both MSL and Boyle will be gone, so we'll have the money to re-sign him.

 

[McDonagh]

They could have at least threw us a bone and asked Doan if he wanted to come win a cup and we would've thrown Glass in

 

[17futurecap]

Sather really went to work on Zucc yesterday fully knowing the guy loved being a Ranger, and threatening to trade him tomorrow.

 

[Ola]

Yandle is compareable to Sutter in Minny (I am so tired I lost his first name).

If McD is gonna play the right side, it's with someone like Yandle on the left side.

 

[CaptainMcD]

They could have at least threw us a bone and asked Doan if he wanted to come win a cup and we would've thrown Glass in

couldn't afford it, even if Doan wanted to come (which he doesn't). Doan makes like 5 mil.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Yandle is the best offensive defenseman this team has had since Leetch. Mainly because we've had relative jack in that area since Leetch, but also because Yandle is an offensive wizard. Awesome playmaker, owns the line.

 

[Ola]

When Yandle's contract is up, most likely both MSL and Boyle will be gone, so we'll have the money to re-sign him.

Yeah, and Yandle still makes 2m more than John Moore -- so there is no way we keep everyone anyhow.

Yandle or Klein going at the draft?

 

[MrEctions]

How can you not love this deal. Yandle at 2.6m for the next year and a half. zucc gets resigned. This D is ridiculous and we have a LEGIT #1 PP D-Man now. I give up Duc and a 1st all day long for this. We have the horses now, go get the cup.

 

[McDonagh]

We also gave up a 2nd

 

[LittleKev6D9]

I love Duclair but it's not like he's a can't miss world beater. He has a lot of talent but for all we know he could top out as a 3rd liner.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

We give up a lot, no doubt. We keep Buch and Miller and Hayes. Will be fun seeing Yandle in blue.

 

[MrEctions]

Which of the 2nds did we give? Ours or Tampas.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Couldn't give 2 ***** about the draft picks. Draft picks are easily the most over valued assets on this site.

They just got one of the best PMD's and PPQB's in the league. He isn't a perfect player, but he makes this team better NOW which is really all that matters, this isn't 2010 anymore guys.

What do they do next?

 

[haveandare]

We give up a lot, no doubt. We keep Buch and Miller and Hayes. Will be fun seeing Yandle in blue.

Yup. Miller and Hayes are NHLers now. Buch has been playing against men.

I think Duke has a bright future, but he's not set in stone.

 

[Ola]

True on Duke, he ain't here yet.

 

[GAGLine]

Yeah, and Yandle still makes 2m more than John Moore -- so there is no way we keep everyone anyhow.

Yandle or Klein going at the draft?

Klein would be the more obvious one to trade, but with Skjei coming in soon, who knows. Maybe they feel like McIlrath will be able to hold down the #6 spot next year and Skjei needs a year in the AHL.
