GDT: Draft Day Bonanza - All rumors/speculation/draft talk here ( Poll Added!)

[NYR Viper]

The Sens are trading everyone and keeping the #4?

 

[Sarge13]

Better be a pretty sizable deal if he is moved. And not just a pick.

Everybody is available for the right price, but I would extract a steep price for Hayes. If it were up to me, I would not move him at all.

Zucc is a different story. I believe that his time here is limited. He is moved either tonight or he makes for a fine deadline acquisition next season for a contender.

I absolutely love Zucc, but I would try my best to trade him now at this draft, maybe trade a little value for the now. Who knows what tomorrow holds and I would hate to see him have a season-ending injury before the deadline.

There’s the Isles’ next goalie.

If I’m Dorion, I find a way to get both 1sts from the Isles, and then give up the 4th to Colorado.

Andersson might be a "good" pick but was he a better pick than Middlestadt?

It is SO early to even have this discussion

 

[Polar Bear]

Sounds about right for the biggest dumpster fire in the league.

 

[offdacrossbar]

want exactly zero part of tkachuk. zero.

still believe the prime targets are:

1. ZADINA. if they can swing a deal, thats the guy they want. he's the only consensus top 3 forward that they have any chance at.

2. if not 1, then its WAHLSTROM. not a bad consolation prize.

these are the 2 realistic targets they have zeroed in on. both impact forwards and imo, top 5 picks in this draft.

with all the talented forwards in the top 15, i don t believe they have ANY defenseman rated higher than the forwards at 9 and so i would be shocked if the first pick were a dman.

Ask this question in 2 or 3 years.

 

[Polar Bear]

My personal rankings/hopes:

1: Wahlstrpm
2: Zadina
3: Hughes
4: Tkachuk
5: Bouchard/Boqvist/Dobson

 

[GregSirico]

The Rangers hold the ninth, 26th (via Boston) and 28th (via Tampa Bay) picks in this year’s draft. The Canadiens could offer their third overall choice for the ninth and the 26th picks.

Should the Montreal Canadiens offer the New York Rangers the third overall pick?

 

[Charlie Conway]

Andersson might be a "good" pick but was he a better pick than Middlestadt?

We're going off of a handful of games each.

Sure, Middelstadt produced more in the NHL, but there are a lot of factors we could talk about that contributed to or detracted from sucess. Like some have mentioned, we need to wait a while before we can really have a productive/honest discussion about Andersson vs. Middelstadt.

If zucc is still a ranger come the end of the draft...that's very worrisome to me.

Not me. Too many sexier players available. He’ll go for 2019 picks.

 

[PelleLindbergh]

trade up to 7 and take Wahlstrom, and give Vancouver 9 and Hajek?? Too much

For those who say it's not too much....

 

[bernmeister]

Janikowski, Fox and 2019 1st for Hayes.

Hayes worth more, and if we can acquire 32OA from Buf as I advocate, and do not move up, we can look at that for Fox. May even be able to move our 2 2nds for him.

If we get a good deal for him today/tom, great.
If not, he will likely be w/Flames next wk and we can take fresh approach then.

Agreed. Hajek is too much.

9th overall + Spooner for the third overall? Any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

 

[ponytrekker]

9th overall + Spooner for the third overall? Any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Never. Happen.

 

[RGY]

Doubt it. Maybe a mid-teens pick.

I dont know thats a lot of assets. The acquiring team gets a younger NHL player and 1st round picks that they could hold onto or flip

 

[Ail]

This is going exactly last year, they try to make deals, their guys go or the deal just isn't there and they pick at 9, no one gets traded today. They go off the board at 9 and everyone loses it.

 

[GregSirico]

trade up to 7 and take Wahlstrom, and give Vancouver 9 and Hajek?? Too much

I'd rather give them our 2nd rounder.

 

[Trxjw]

Not enough of a gap in the guys between 3 and 9 for me to expend a 1st to move up that far. Id take my chances at 9 if that was the cost and enjoy having the two late firsts.

 

[True Blue]

Never. Happen.

I do not believe so either. Was just commenting on one of the proposed deals from the article.

 

[apoptygma]

I'm scared now, this day is soooo important for NYR

 

[Lion Hound]

New GM, New Coach and two 1ST rounders for the Isles. I bet they would be interested.

This is interesting discussion to have, but as to water under the bridge, the point NOW is to recognize we could roll w/both Lias and Chytil, but if Lias has top top value now we should consider moving him, keeping known and improving Hayes, plus Chytil, +, etc, and use the high trade value on Lias to repurpose assets.
