GDT: 2016 NHL Draft: Part 2

[NickyFotiu]

Of course I don't, but really... what does Stamkos/Kovalsuck do to rectify anything wrong with this team?

Stamkos is 26, a top 5 goal scorer, perennial all star at center in his prime years. When was the last time we had an all star at center? Who was the last Cup winner that did not have an all star at center?


Kovy is a totally different situation and has nothing to do with Stamkos so there is no need to keep linking them.

Gorton told media he is close on a few things, but they “just didn’t materialize today.” Per Zip

Nick Holden for a 4th

meets the 40/70 requirement. games played and signed through the end of 17-18

Edit: It's as easy and lazy.

rangers need to find cheap young dmen. Move skjei to Mac's right side and suddenly you have your #1RDman on a ELC.

mac-skjei
staal-klein
holden-girardi/Mcllrath

and obviously continue to supplement and bring in more young D talent, over the summer, over the next season, next offseason. Continuously over the next 2 years

Zip: Gorton: Close to trades and are looking at all types of free agents. Wants to keep all RFAs

I like that.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I fully expect by December AV will be fired and our d will be
Mcdonagh-skjei
Staal-Klein
Holden-mcilrath
Girardi

I think Staal is about to get moved.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I think Staal is about to get moved.

I hope so but I'm not gunna get my hopes up for anything

 

[NernieBichols]

bring in murphy. he needs a change of scenery.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

I think Staal is about to get moved.

I bet your avatar he won't get traded this summer.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Just haven't had a ton of time to follow Jr hockey so I am gonna give the scouts the benefit of the doubt.

Like what I am reading about Reunanen the most.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I would like to target Connor Murphy. Always been a fan of that kid.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Idk what could be holding up a staal deal? It's a cap dump but he's still a decent player...
I wouldn't think we're asking much for him it's just whether or not we can get him to waive to a place

 

[wafflepadsave]

My final pun-filled post of the day, I promise

It's a new Day, we have found the Fontaine of Youth, we are building a Wall, and if there was a female player, we'd be Gettinger too and Ronning away.

it's called top 3 scoring... its this thing in hockey where, competitive teams aim to have 70p+ players on their top line. 60p 2nd line players inserted into top 3 roles doesn't work..

Rangers haven't had this, since Jagr.

Until the Rangers announce they've traded Henrik, there's no rebuild.

no use getting aggravated about it.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I fully expect by December AV will be fired and our d will be
Mcdonagh-skjei
Staal-Klein
Holden-mcilrath
Girardi

I 1000% disagree with this. There is absolutely no way this happens. And I'm super pessimistic.

That being said, I almost hope it pans out because I want AV the **** gone.

Completely agree. People are so scarred here. Stamkos is one of the best players ever to hit FA. In addition, this all depends on the moves the Rangers make to get him here.

If we clear out Staal, Girardi, Nash, Brassard and bring in Stamkos and whatever picks/prospects/roster players to replace these guys. This could be an amazing move and a literal complete overhaul that allows the team to compete this season.

Maybe they can move a package for Barrie or another PMD. It's not impossible to see a way where the Rangers get Stamkos and make the appropriate moves to create a very good team. Not only do they have Hank, but they have an incredibly talented young core.

Ryan Murphy would work for me.

What's the story with Day?

Does he start the season with the Pack or does he go back to the OHL?

 

[GAGLine]

He goes back to the OHL. He can't play in the AHL until he is 19. The rule is age 20, or 4 years. He has played 3 years in the CHL.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Does he start the season with the Pack or does he go back to the OHL?

Since he was an exception player, he can play in the AHL but during the draft, he said in an interview he will probably play 1 more junior year

What's the deal with this Kovalchuk stuff?

Ok, he'd like to. And that was just one example. Dumba is reportedly available, then there's the obvious in Shattenkirk.

This team is far from being done. And the defense is far from being set. There are a million ways that pieces can fall which make this a great off-season for them. Again, I'm not optimistic as this is the Rangers we're talking about, but I'm also not going to start acting like it's the end of the world when we still have 3+ months till the season begins.

People are acting like we have a set defense, are you kidding me?

If our D next season is

McD - Shattenkirk/Barrie/Klein
Skjei - Dumba / Klein
Holden - McIlrath

That's really not bad at all and has a lot of youth and skill.
