Then you won't move up.
It makes no sense for the other team to drop 4 spots from the top of the draft unless NYR includes #28.
In your opinion, sure.

26OA + 28OA + Namestnikov FOR 5OA
Ok, fair.In your opinion, sure.
Would not trade Domi for ZuccarelloDon’t think Rangers should pay the price but let’s say your theory is true about the scouts having their eye on top D man outside of Dahlin...
Arizona gets Zuccarello, 9oa, 70oa
Rangers get 5oa, Max Domi, 55oa
I feel the Rangers can get a better payment of Zucc but interested in the value
He didn’t include the 9th overall. He’s suggesting you keep both. Which is just as crazy as what you thought he suggested.2 firsts and Vlad? To move 4 spots in a crapshoot draft class??? Yikes.
Ok, fair.
What would make it happen in your opinion?

You’re saying that you prefer picks 26 and 28 and Namestnikov to pick 5? Cmon...You're right, I misread it.
I wouldn't even do those 2 picks and Namestnikov for the 5th. I'd rather hold on to the picks and take someone like Merkley late.
Coyotes would be moving down for Wahlstrom though, therefore no deal.Rangers would be moving up for Wahlstrom most likely though
I saw what you wrote, but Wahlstrom is someone that they would be moving up for lol and the Arizona FO wouldn't make a trade conditional on who the Rangers are drafting at 5Coyotes would be moving down for Wahlstrom though, therefore no deal.
UNLESS Rangers scouts are high on a D even moreso than Wahlstrom. Thus, this thread.
thank you!Are you aware that Arizona doesn’t have their original 2nd? They have a late second that is 55oa
We brought in immediate help last year by trading the 7th OA for starting goaltender and a 2C. Our biggest holes on the roster are a true first pairing RD and a 1C, and we aren't going to land either of those without giving up an exorbitant amount of young talent and the 5th OA. I'm sure OEL was well aware of this during negotiations and indicated his willingness to resign anyway to a team-friendly deal.
There are ways to find immediate help for our young core without giving up a top five pick.

Arizona needs to get better right away. The player they draft at 5 may be able to step in next season. Trading high picks for more futures makes little sense for the Coyotes.

Why take Merkley late when you can take somebody like Hughes early? Coming out of the draft with the #5, and #9 is much better than #9, #26, and #28. I'd easily do that - but no team would accept that. 2 late first and a player going nowhere with us for a 5th? Sign me up. Absolutely! We really lose out on 1 draft pick here, but we replace that with a top 5. I just can't see any GM in the NHL feeling the same way.
@bernmeister I did say "may" be able to help this year. By no means is it a given. However, the player chosen at 5 his much closer to the NHL than ones chosen at 28th. The Coyotes need immediate help.
perhaps I didn't phrase that well.
no contradicting the bold
but in my latest offer at 39, which was:
26OA + Pionk + Namest.
for
5OA + RD prospect Wood
you can see there are 2 immediate impact pieces made available.
Of course the issue is the quantity and quality of what NY is giving up in lieu of 9.
Oh what a hard decision. Haha. Ummm...leave it.Namestnikov or Spooner or Vesey take it or leave it.
