LOL that title is amazing.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

And as much as I love Hank, that contract hampered us for a long time.

This is wrong though, the only season it's hampered us is 16/17, that's the only season he wasn't worth his cap hit %

Edit: And even then it was very far from the biggest cap issue too, obviously.

I mean financially not performance wise.

If he performs to the level (or over it) of his cap hit, then there's no issue :s

 

[GregSirico]

You guys should check this GEM of a thread out:

I can't fathom anyone saying whoever is trading for Duchene is NOT taking a risk with him only being signed for 2 years.

I mean if he performs I'm sure the Rangers would re sign him, but either way its still a risk.

It's also a risk he would become that 60 P player again.

 

[Krams]

I think the Stars may be very dangerous this season.

 

[Griffinbw]

Lol
No chance
Starters will be great, but there's a major drop off from there.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

I think the Stars may be very dangerous this season.

Yeah I think last year was a brainfart season for them. They've plugged some holes.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

Still waiting for a Center.

 

[Fugazy]

I think the Stars may be very dangerous this season.

I think they should definitely be a playoff team and could make some noise in the playoffs.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I think they should definitely be a playoff team and could make some noise in the playoffs.

I don't believe in their D or goaltending.


The offense is awesome but they have the wrong coach for it.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Bozak would probably be the cheapest option to acquire.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

What about hayes to VGK for Theodore and a 2nd (or higher? who knows). Hayes would fit right in with Vegas due to age, and he'd be the best center on their team.

Theodore, 2018 1st (this would suck :/), and Graves/Gropp whichever they prefer for Duchene? Would Sakic even take that?.. he wanted young D, D prospect and high pick right?

 

[kovazub94]

Grigorenko received an offer from CSKA on a 3-year deal.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I'd rather hang onto Hayes and hope that he puts it together in year 4 ala Blake Wheeler.

He has the skills to do it.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I'd rather hang onto Hayes and hope that he puts it together in year 4 ala Blake Wheeler.

He has the skills to do it.

He looked great at times last season, bad at times as well... I mean he's still young so we'll see.. He did have 50 points as the 3rd line center, who knows.

Vegas has already come out and said they aren't trading Theodore

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

What about hayes to VGK for Theodore and a 2nd (or higher? who knows). Hayes would fit right in with Vegas due to age, and he'd be the best center on their team.

Theodore, 2018 1st (this would suck :/), and Graves/Gropp whichever they prefer for Duchene? Would Sakic even take that?.. he wanted young D, D prospect and high pick right?

2018 1st should be off limits right now. Period.

Trading away Hayes in a madcap scheme to get Duchene kind of renders the move pointless, as the Rangers would still be 1 to 2 centers short, depending where you want to slot Miller. The only way a trade for Duchene makes sense is if the Rangers keep Hayes and Miller. That makes them a very dangerous team.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

I don't believe in their D or goaltending.


The offense is awesome but they have the wrong coach for it.

There's been worse than:

Methot - Klingberg
Hamhuis - Honka
Lindell - Johns

That's for sure.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

There's been worse than:

Methot - Klingberg
Hamhuis - Honka
Lindell - Johns

That's for sure.

Absolutely, look at the Ranger D last year

I love Klingberg and Honka. Methot was a solid pick up but the rest of that group is blah. They're a #1 LHD away from being really solid back there though.

 

[GregSirico]

Still waiting for a Center.

 

[STHLM]

Can't we go for Landeskog instead of Duchene? Having watched him play alot on the national team, I consider him a very skilled player who plays with alot of grit, and the asking price would probably be considerably cheaper than Duchene.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Bozak would be an ok stop gap. He's pretty terrible defensively, though, and I would definitely be looking to add some defensive ability at center considering that Zibanejad/Hayes are certainly nowhere near Selke caliber forwards.
