Disappointed this trade had to be done now and not at the Draft.

Would've liked to see who was at #7 first. This one is rough.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

I don't care about losing the pick as this is a weak draft anyway. I'm liking more and more of what I'm seeing.

 

[jacobhockey13]

I would have given up 23 overall before giving up Deangelo.

It's 9:58 MST here. Who's left?

Time to buy stock in the company that prints the programs? Gonna need one this season.

Within the last 24 hours:

Trade:

C.Murphy
A. DeAngelo
#7
D. Tippet

For:

D. Stepan
A. Raanta
N. Hjalmarsson

I take it every day of the week....

If Raanta can develop into a legit starter I think we will all look at this trade differently. Time will tell

 

[Sciamachy]

I'm good with this, wasn't attached to the 7OA since there is just nobody there that I feel THAT strongly about. DeAngelo hurts a bit because of the potential, but there is still that potential disaster with him as well. We just bought a lot of time for Strome and Dvorak to grow into their roles properly without having to stick a 3rd line center into a first line role.

Basically I believe 7 for Stepan is fair. I also believe that 35 for Raanta is fair. This comes down to how much more you think DeAngelo is worth than the 35 or how much more you think Stepan is worth than the 7.

Most Rangers fans hate this trade big time.

Getting a whole lot short of RHD in this organization.

Exactly!! i love this trade. potentially acquiring a 1C and starting goalie for a 7th pick in a draft that isnt supposed to be as good as next years draft. Deangelo we know is a very exciting player but there's no guarantee he pans out considering his defensive liability and he could be in suspension/disciplinary trouble for parts of his career.

I hope the fans in the valley that were attached to doan and tippett as discussed in the tipp thread can quickly get over all of that, because really exciting things are happening

 

[Foggy1097]

Absolutely brilliant two trades this morning. OMGSDIgjsdlkfjds I can even take it. Are people actually complaining about losing the 7th on a team with more prospects than it knows what to do with already? And losing a third pairing Dman who we paid a 2nd round pick for to get a guy presumably ready to be a #1 goalie??? Chayka is a wizard.

 

[BB88]

I'm happy to see Raanta get a chance and the top 3/4 looks great now.

 

[doaner]

So excited!

Rangers fan here. I liked Stepan, but he struggled this year. Big cap number and a NMC that kicks in July 1st. Raanta is good, real good. Deserved to play more than he did, but it just wasn't going to happen with Lundqvist, although I wish it did.

Stepan is low end 1st line center, high-end 2nd line center. He is not a Crosby, Malkin, or Kane, but saying he is not in their class is not an insult. He is a good player and you guys will like him.

Now, what can you tell me about DeAngelo? Rumor all week was for Ekman-Larsson.

 

[IPreferPi]

Most Rangers fans hate this trade big time.

Schaudenfreude given their asshat insistence Stepan would net a core player from us all week.

I don't like this deal at all, but the cost was pretty much what I anticipated.

 

[Englishcoyote]

He's selling the future when we still have Strome, Dvorak, Keller, Chychrun, Domi, Perlini and Duclair. Plus guys like Wood, Merkley, Macinnis, and Capo hanging around. How are we selling the future?

you have to speculate to accumulate. great trade but if maker falls to 7th ill be pissed abit, but we have our number 1 centre and starting gk now and not another player for 2/3 years away.

 

[EpicDing]

Treat Steps well guys, he's a good player.

 

[_Del_]

I'm not overly impressed, but I'll live with it. I do wonder if there was more than just rumour mongering about DeAngelo have bigger issues than just a potty mouth and a hothead.
I probably wouldn't have made this deal, but we didn't deal Strome/Dvorak/Domi and a first, and we also picked up a goaltender. One stop shopping.

 

[WJF]

Updated lines?

 

[ck26]

Overpayment. ****.

Is Stepan better than Ribeiro 2014? Totally different, but is he better?

 

[Puck possession wins]

Now, what can you tell me about DeAngelo? Rumor all week was for Ekman-Larsson.

The man has a cannon of a shot and will be a PP QB for years to come. There is some concern regarding attitude issues, but nevertheless, he is a great Top 6 Dman

 

[Fantomas]

So what's your projected top lines now, Coyotes fans?

Will Stepan play with Keller?
