Proposal: Alec Martinez to NYR

[CupInSIX]

Vegas needs to clear cap space, and NYR needs a LD with a small cap hit (especially with Strome & TDA going to arbitration). Bonus: Martinez can play left or right side.

Rangers don’t have a 2nd next year but sure Martinez is a good stop gap

I don’t want anyone from the 2014 Kings on this team.

I’m interested, but we just moved our 2021 2nd to get rid of Staal and Wall is likely next man up when Georgiev finally gets moved. I don’t see another 2nd or Wall being the pieces.

Like the Jack Johnson signing, this opinion has nothing to do with the on ice effect the player might have.

Alec Martinez also sucks.

That’s debatable. I don’t think he sucks and I do think he is a 1 year stop gap that is an upgrade on what the Rangers currently have.

Fine with playing Bitteto, Hajek and Reunanen in rotation, for this season of noncontention and transition.
If the must fill the spot with someone with more top 4 experience, find a less pricy, younger guy

His production and possession numbers have tanked the last few years. Is he better than Jack Johnson? Sure.

 

[5cotland]

Why would Rangers give up valuable assets for a rental Martinez to help Vegas with their cap issues.

He was also on a lot worse teams than his standard. Did a nice job on Vegas. And yes better than Johnson and Smith for sure.

So they get Martinez, and the other teams dont?

Ye, valuable assets are not worth it.

This^.
Koekkoek may still be available cheap. K may be this year's Claussen.

Do not want to reverse course, get older let alone use assets to go there.

Wall is presumed front runner on Lindbom for Shesty's backup. Guys drafted may work out but too early for that.

Also, Vegas is sup interested in Deangelo, whether that is to retool in addition or is consolation prize if they don't get AlexPie, that is what we should be supporting.

If, as a side backscratch deal, they wanna eat something on MAF so we get him at wholesale w/idea that we then eat a mil or so and flip him to Leafs or somebody else, fine, we'll do that side deal for a broker's fee.

But our main focus for LVGK should be return for Deangelo.

Seems a bit harsh. What did Alec Martinez ever do to youooooooh wait never mind.

I don't mean to remind you, but he's not just anyone from that team.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I like AM but as others have said there’s no reason for NYR to trade assets for him at this time

 

[CupInSIX]

Give him a 3 year extension. You guys think Panarin and Trouba want to be a bubble team?

 

[eco's bones]

I like Martinez but I'm not sure I'd want to give you a 2nd or Wall for him let alone both just so you can get a bit of cap space. To me there's a favor in your proposal that you're asking of us. How about future considerations?---say a 7th if we don't resign him and a 5th if we do.

Buffalo us another team looking for a short term LD

Vegas isn’t getting a 2nd nor 3rd to clear cap space. Best is a 4zth for Martinez

 

[KevinFinnerty]

We already signed our own LD stud in Jack Johnson

This is my position. I don’t mind adding the player, but not at that price. Vegas needs to get rid of him more than we need him.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

f***kkkkkkk no to that deal.

IMO he's a useful player still but giving up a 2nd rounder for one year of Martinez?---No. That's counter to the direction the team is moving in. I'm not into moving Wall either until I have some idea about what kind of pro he can be. FWIW at the deadline to a playoff bound team that's when Alec has the most value.
