The odds are pretty good that we will. But if we win the cup it doesn't matter what Duclair turns into. The team is going for it all now. Will it be worth it? Only if they raise the cup this June or next.
Confirmed with Link: Duclair, J. Moore, 1st (2016), 2nd (2015) for Yandle (50% Retained), Summers, and 4th

Hey guys, do you think these deadline deals mean either a) Sather didn't think we were good enough to win the cup no matter the dead in 2012 or b) Sather regrets not making any moves that year (save John Scott).

Yes. We picked in 2012. Assuming we make playoffs next season our next 1st rounder is in 2017.

We all loved Duclair, but with Zucc signing long term, Hagelin a RFA, Nash not going anywhere, Kreider here for a while, Hayes who can play wing, Miller, etc, it was going to be hard to find a spot for Duclair where he could shine.
Getting Yandle for 2.6M next season is an absolute steal and gives the Rangers the best blue line in the NHL by far.

Probably neither. We've had assets to make improvements and went with it. We were a legit contender but got better after today.

Yeah, I'm gonna miss Duke, but the more I think about it, the more I do this trade every single day.
If one of the d prospects is ready next year, NYR have a lot of options in terms of moving one of these 6 and getting a nice piece back.
Neither. He and the rest of the management are just trying to make the team better. Nothing wrong with making a great team even greater.

Probably the same thing every deadline deal means - just a good team trying to put themselves over the top to win this year.
The Yandle deal in particular I think is part of setting them up to have a choice in who sticks on D next year. With a meh player as the 6, it kind of forces their hand. Like this, they have 6 top 4 guys and can move pretty much whoever they please next year depending on the cap or Boyle's aging or whatever else.

Change is good.
Originally posted this in the prospects thread, but it probably makes as much, if not more, sense here:
My initial reaction to the Yandle trade was the same as yours, FLY. But then I let it marinate for a while, and I realized that this is not the same old youth for over-the-hill vet move that bit the Rangers in the *ss for so many years. Yandle is 28, a full decade younger than Dan Boyle. When Duke is in the league scoring 30 goals per year four years from now, Yandle will still be there racking up his 45 assists.
Yes, we traded a potential offensive star. But we got back a proven one - he just happens to play defense. (And the Yotes retained half his salary.)
Much as I hate to see Duke go, I can't complain (too much).

So, if the Rangers do not make the playoffs next year, the Yotes get nothing? Or a lower round pick instead?
Agreed. Duclair definitely has offensive talent but from what I saw is LAZY, has very little heart and is a liability defensively. I would be surprised if he becomes a 1st liner on a good team. I think the Rangers liked Tambellini better than Duclair

Well, I go to work all day today and all of this stuff happens. Wow.
Yandle deal: I like it. 1st or 2nd pair LD that's sure to help the PP. Furthermore, the guy is INCREDIBLY tradeable with a contract less than half of what he's worth. If we want to move him next year for a 1st and whatever else, it'll be incredibly easy. Rangers probably best in the league now 1-6D. I wonder how playing time is going to shake out with all of these left-handed shooting defenseman.
Don't like trading Duclair, but you've got to give to get.
John Moore? I wasn't particularly down on him but with what we've got waiting in the wings and his platoon-type situation, I don' think it's a huge loss. Cheap #6/7 option. I'm sure he'll get a better opportunity in AZ.
