Confirmed with Link: Duclair, J. Moore, 1st (2016), 2nd (2015) for Yandle (50% Retained), Summers, and 4th

[Cassano]

The worst part isn't losing Duke, it's that Girardi's horrendous contract stays on the books. This is just heartbreaking. **** you Kyperos!

 

[Tawnos]

In a vacuum, this is a really good trade for the Rangers. For this season, this is a great trade for the Rangers.

In context with having already traded 3 first round picks in a row, and the fact that Duclair was kinda helping to make up for that, I'm not thrilled. Not devastated, but not thrilled.

 

[Matt4776]

LeBrun is reporting there is more, but if the deal is just Yandle for Duke, Moore, and a 1st, I am utterly disgusted.

 

[Machinehead]

Emotions are high. General reminder to keep it within the rules.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Kinda sad that the Rangers are giving all this up to basically fill a role that Dan Boyle was supposed to fill. This erases any usefulness for Boyle, especially since McDonagh should be picking up more PP time anyway.

Trade basically tells you we made a mistake with the signing.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Wow that was a massive payment for Yandle

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Maybe the Rangers soured on Duke? Keep in mind, Duke had attitude and motivational issues, which caused him to drop to the 3rd round.

They may also like Buch more. May also mean they're high on JT Miller as well going forward.

I trust Rangers management on this one.

 

[McDonagh]

We better win that cup

 

[JDs Straight Shot]

Chris Summers?

 

[Cor]

You guys are getting Chris Summers too

 

[Trxjw]

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, buut, could Ranger brass have been turned off by how Duclair handled things when he went back to juniors? BTW, the Rangers do now have the deepest blueline in the NHL. Yandle or Staal as your 3rd D-man? Holy schnikees!

Could be, but this smells like the beginning of a busy deadline. I mean, Boyle and Yandle are disasters defensively and they still haven't addressed face-off issues.

The worst part isn't losing Duke, it's that Girardi's horrendous contract stays on the books. This is just heartbreaking. **** you Kyperos!

I was about to throw a ****ing party if we included Girardi....

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Hope we are getting Michalek and their 2nd back.

 

[Synergy27]

Tough trade, but the impact to the current roster is a MASSIVE upgrade from John Moore to Yandle. The Rangers easily have the best defense corps in the league now, assuming McD wakes up before the playoffs start.

You also need to wonder if Duclair's sulking and poor performance since being sent back down played a role in this. We need to remember that this kid was a 3rd rounder, and while he's looked great since being drafted, it's possible we all (including myself) are over-rating him.

 

[nyrpassion]

Duke hurts

 

[Kakko]

Yes! Chris Summers!

 

[YandlesMother]

You guy's probably overpaid, but that's a deadline deal for ya. You are getting an extremely gifted puck moving player. Incredible vision and probably one of the best zone entry guys out there. His defense is improved noticably, but definitely going to be worse than most guys. He has a lot of turnovers directly related to the amount that he carries the puck.

Your PP just got a lot more dangerous, and he's a competent 5on5 guy. He's a fantastic locker room guy if that's your bag. Never a single issue in years on a team with massive ownership and financial problems. I'll be rooting for you in the playoffs.

 

[Shesty31]

What the **** is this ****?

Duclair was like the perfect replacement for MSL when he left us.

Duclair would give no where near the production that MSL has. I like Duclair as much as the next guy, but I think some people are forgetting how good of a defenseman we got i return. This is a difference maker for us.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The worst part isn't losing Duke, it's that Girardi's horrendous contract stays on the books. This is just heartbreaking. **** you Kyperos!

 

[CaptainMcD]

Its really not a terrible deal. It makes us better today. It hurts to lose Duke but I can live with it. You'll see I've watched a bunch of Yandle and he's gonna make this team better.

But this is Sather's way of admitting he never shoulda signed Boyle. We shoulda keep Stralman.

 

[Trxjw]

Dear god.

 

[LittleKev6D9]

Maybe (CROSS YOUR ******* FINGERS) Boyle-Klein as a 3rd pair helps relieve some added pressure off Boyle. He was terrible with an offensive minded d-man (Moore) or the 2nd pair. Hopefully (AGAIN CROSS YOUR ******* FINGERS) moving him to the 3rd pair with a defensive minded d man takes that added pressure off.

I would hate two RHD and two LHD paired together.

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

How the **** do you trade Duclair away? And Moore instead of Girardi? This is so dumb.

Easy. Moore sucks.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Is there supposed to be a difference between Summers and John Moore? All I know is he's a great skater but he's still a back-end defenseman on the Coyotes

 

[Son of Steinbrenner]

This is a really bad trade for the Rangers....How could they give up Duclair in this trade?
