Death, taxes, and the Lightning rumoured to trade for a NY Ranger at the trade deadline.
Yep, I have no further use for you or your worthless posts. You are the weakest link - goodbye (and good riddance!)
We’ll see how long that lasts. It’s a miracle he’s stayed as healthy as he has this year with his style of play and injury history.
While that’s fine, it still goes hand in hand with my point.
Top unit, probably not, but 2nd unit? I think he’d good there, but I do agree that with being #1 there isn’t much of a need, but if you can get something that would be a luxury for something that’s also a luxury, it could work. The only thing is the years. Also, Stralman’s deal is done after this season.
Yeah, he busts his ass, but he’s a black hole offensively. Maybe in a very limited role as he is he can contribute the odd goal here and there, but he can’t be counted upon for offense.
I think it could, I think adding a pointman on the 2nd unit could help. His defensive deficiencies are obviously a worry, but on a team like Tampa, they could be masked.
With all of this said, he has an NMC and NTC and left money on the table to come to NY. He’s most likely not waiving.
I also think Hayes Or Zuccarello would be a better fit than Shattenkirk.
I think next year we have more use for him. Now would cost more than offseason to acquire since we would have him for a whole other playoff run. Its just not in the cards right now. Think it could happen in offseason if we have interest but dont see it now. Wouldnt mind Hayes or Zuc right now though.
More than fair, especially with a cap crunch upcoming.
Hayes and/or Zuccarello could be discussed. I think Gorton would want that condition moved off of 2019 first rounder to have it definitely going to the Rangers and then a prospect for either one.
I know McKenzie said they could be looking at a second and a prospect for Zuccarello, but I’d imagine if Columbus keeps Panarin, that could drive up value for Zuccarello, especially teams who whiff on Stone.
I wouldnt be surprised if we made a move for one of those two. Maaaaybe Kreider but they probably keep him. I made a thread in here speculating the Rangers and TB making a trade at the deadline since NY has a little investment in them. Dont think anybody should be surprised if a deal is made at or before deadline.
Floor will be good #2d, elite 1D potential.
Elite #1D?
That's pretty much Karlsson/Doughty/Hedman?
