Love that trade for Nashville, that defense has to be the best in the league now and with a solid goalie behind it too.

 

[LORENZO]

Will Vermette make us that much better?

Yes.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

With Hayes recent emergence, Vermette doesn't make too much sense unless people want a HOLY **** SUPER DUPER RIDICULOUS fourth line of Moore-Vermette-Fast. Otherwise I'd go for a more under the radar option. Bergenheim is a good one.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Also, apparently Lars Eller is available. I'd rather try and snatch him up than Vermette, he's bigger and younger.

 

[Cassano]

I would rather give a 2nd + McIlrath for Petry and Gordon than Vermette. I think that should be enough to get both.

 

[NYR Viper]

Could the Rangers snag Horcoff and move Glass in the process?

Hayes has been damn near dominant the past five games, but there's a large difference between games 50-54 against Nash, Dal, Tor, Col, and Ari and games 83-100 against the likes of NYI, PIT, WAS, TB, DET, etc...

Especially for a kid who with every game logs a new career high in single season games played...

So, the good thing about Vermette is, that if Hayes keeps it up, AV can be his winger. But, if Hayes starts to falter, Vermette can play 3C better than anyone on the roster or in the system. And, if god forbid, Stepan or Brass go down, I'd rather have Vermette in the top-6 than Hayes. Or, Hayes in the top-6, and AV stepping in at 3C.

He's depth, insurance, and a good player all wrapped in one.

The idea of the d pipeline without McIlrath is pretty bleak IMO.

Not sure I want to make that a reality for Vermette when Hayes is playing so well.

This. I want Bergenheim. I think a fourth line of Bergenheim-Moore-Fast will be awesome at forechecking and possession, and Moore and Bergenheim have some good playoff chemistry from their Tampa Bay days.

I would also look to add a defenseman. Moore and Hunwick scare me a little. Methot might cost too much, but someone like him. Any 5-6th defensemen coming up on UFA status this summer?

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Petry is a solid player but there's not room for him in the lineup, whether you think he's better than other right handers we have or not. And the team isn't going to put a righty defenseman on their offside now that they have a balanced group handedness wise.

Also, apparently Lars Eller is available. I'd rather try and snatch him up than Vermette, he's bigger and younger.

Eller isn't a rental though. As has been stated multiple times, we have all sorts of cap issues this summer to keep the existing team.

 

[Miller Time NYR]

Under the radar, Jay Mcclement... Big body, defensive/pk specialist and he wins faceoffs. Replaces Glass/Stemp on the 4th line.

 

[cd211]

i doubt McIrath is moved come on guys really??

Allen, Brodie, kristo, Hvrik, are the type of prospects moved.. maybe even Lindberg

if we were trading for something long term then fine, but i doubt it.. McIrath is finally healthy and playing no way we give up on him after 2.5 years of injury after injury.. His value probably isnt that high..

Rather have Stempniak.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

He doesn't make very much, and if anything he could be re-flipped in the summer for either cap space or another player.

Doubt Montreal would trade him here anyway.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I'm not very partial when it comes to Mcilwaste so I won't comment on trading him or not..

 

[Radek27]

The idea of the d pipeline without McIlrath is pretty bleak IMO.

At the end of the day management has to decide if this guy is going to be able to stick next season. If they don't believe he can be in the top 7 they should trade him at the deadline.

My trade props.

I was thinking the same thing. wonder if the Rangers would be willing to part with both 2nds.

 

[Idlerlee]

I agree with your previous post, Carcillo back. make it happen

 

[LetterJ]

3.5/yr IIRC.

I think the NYR are looking for a true rental.

 

[NYR Viper]

I am hoping the Rangers can grab a player who has some time left with the original team Jolson some cap hit. The Blackhawks did it last year with Versteeg

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Will Vermette make us that much better?

theoretically? hell yes he would.

Nash-Brass-Zucc
Kreider-stepan-MSL
Hagelins-Vermette-Hayes
Miller-Moore-Fast.

also gives us depth in case we were to lose one of our centers God forbid because he can also play a top 6 role.

The question is, will he have the same chemistry as the 3rd line does right now

 

[YoSoyLalo]

3.5/yr IIRC.

Well, there was interest in Hanzal who is signed past this year at a similar cap hit.

I don't think Eller is a super realistic target, more on my personal wish list than anything. Don't really see why Montreal would be moving him anyway, they lack size in all areas and Eller is a solid player with size. Apparently, though, he's available.

Hopefully they trade him for some finesse right winger.
