Basically a GDT edition here.

I have no earthly idea what's going to go on tomorrow. I can't help but feel like it will be chaotic.

Yeah but if you cave on that 500K here, and on 500K with Kreider, and on 500K with Moore, and on 500K with Brass, etc, you're preventing yourself from acquiring a $2M player, or 2 roster spots.

Keeping this one as pure speculation for now. I'll create a legitimate rumors only thread tomorrow.

So long as the sky doesnt fall, chaotic is fun

Agreed. Unfortunately, I have to work tomorrow. I already told my boss that I'll be pretty much useless all day.

If they do end up signing Stralman to an extension, and keep Klein, then you mine as well include McI in a trade. He wouldn't get a chance to play here. I'm really wondering if that's the situation here, but then you could always trade Klein if push comes to shove.

 

[RangerBlues]

MDZ a UFA hmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Care to list a few young centers that we could trade for without gutting the core?

Little, Hanzal, Shaw, Colin Wilson.

Nah. Starting in the AHL won't be bad for him. Bide his time until an injury and then, if he excels on call-up, trade Stralman or Klein to make room. That's the best thing for him anyway.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

LOL if the Rangers sign Stralman then trade him to make room for McIlrath this board will implode.

Here is a Brooks article looking at tomorrow, I'm too lazy to quote all of the rumors, just go read it.

Little, Hanzal, Shaw, Colin Wilson.

cant see hanzal or shaw being available due to their teams needs

 

[pld459666]

I think the Ranges are going to get someone they want to help out the top 9

75.9 until camp?

I have a feeling

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Stastny will be a ranger tomorrow but no Dman

 

[JimmyG89]

Little, Hanzal, Shaw, Colin Wilson.

Are we looking a names or teams with a glut of centers? Those guy would require a center in return. Doubt Miller gets that done. Those teams lack center depth. The totes traded for a center to round out their group, now give one? Hawks are deprived of Cs. Press trying to get Special or Lecav. Doubt Wilson is available unless a C goes back. Jets have Little and Scheifelie. That's it. U bless these teams are signing multiple Cs in FA, none of these guys would be available.

Kreider is an RFA. He will get what he gets. He has to earn his next contract. Different story. And I am a huge fan of Kreider's. Have been since before he was drafted.

You have to prioritize. Stralman to me is more valuable than Brassard. Stralman logs 20 minutes against other teams top six forwards and makes his teammates better in the process.

Brassard will get paid, too. I have no qualms giving him 4 million.

There are positions you can screw with. Defense isn't one of them.

 

[Tawnos]

Poor Predators fans, by the way. They basically gave us Klein for nothing.

Klein for Nashville's 2nd, resign Stralman.

Defense without Stralman is a faaaar deeper position than center is without Brassard.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Brooks is the only NYR writer who is ALWAYS doom and gloom. "Cash strapped" Rangers? 23M in cap is wuite alot especially with 4 of them RFAs. Sather just doesn't want to pay the prices for our UFAs

Careful, now, Tawnos. Many people on this board believe Nashville wont the trade by ridding themselves of Klein.

Rangers are right not to make any offers. The cap space is limited. Why bid against yourself.
Let the market decide what they are worth.

According to some people they "won" that trade

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

wtf Stralman is more important than Brassard?? So our centers would be... stepan, miller, moore? , lindbergh.. amazing
