Spector guessing talbot or Jones to Edmonton . Gotta take late first from Edmonton if offered . That's pens pick
"Spector guesses that the Oilers would offer the Rangers their high second round pick and 23-year old defenseman Martin Marincin OR the Penguins first round pick and something “marginal.â€
WOW Marincin + 2nd would be an amazing return.
What would you prefer? Marincin is RFA this summer. Would Pittsburgh's 1st be a better deal than their 2nd + Marincin?
Marincin + 2nd easily. Great young d-man.
Marincin + 2nd easily. Great young d-man.
If we take that deal, McIlrath is surely on his way out, right?
Marincin is left-handed though. We have McDonagh, Staal, Yandle and Skjei for that position.
So, what if we through in McIlrath. Is that enough to change that high 2nd round pick into a low 1st rounder (Pittsburgh's pick)?
I take the Pens #1...especially if the Rangers knock them out in the 1st round. That pick could be in the mid-teens. Marcinin's a LHD...not exactly a weakness on this team.
I think Marincin is far more valuable to this team at this time. Basically less than 1m most likely on a young, NHL defender with very nice tools. The EDM 2nd should net a decent prospect regardless.
Will take the 2nd and Slepyshev
I disagree...this team needs prospects a little further away in development. It's an overall young squad. You need higher end prospects behind the likes of Skjei and Buch. That's where the trading of picks has hurt the Rangers.
... Good call. Highly skilled winger that captained the Russian WJC team.
Will also take a look at Bogdan Yakimov. Huge 2-way center with a decent 1st NA season.
