Trading 21 year old top prospect centers already?
This place never learns
If we get another prospect/s of the same age, why not?

Uhh maybe because after JT we have like NO top 6 centers even remotely on the cusp.
But sure, trade away our only decent prospect at our weakest position both on the roster and in our system for another injury prone, aging former star.

.....beacuse deals man!!! DEALS!!!
ing Kreiderman;83070007]Well, I would even trade Miller+Hagelin for Kesler. It's a better option than signing Stastny

Lindberg is a good prospect as well. Your point still stands though.
He said prospect of the same age. So why on earth are you mentioning injury prone, aging stars?
4) I responded with my quote alluding to the fact that a team like us that is so weak in our center dept, specifically top end centers, cannot be mortgaging our only good center prospect, even if we pickup another one, for old, injury prone players, like KESLER. In fact, we should be trying to collect center prospects, even long-shots since we have so much trouble developing that area.
The only players who can have their ELC slide are 18 and 19 year olds. That's it. Their ELCs only slide if they play less than 10 games in the NHL in a given year. Anyone else, it doesn't matter how many games they play or where they play them. A year will burn off their ELC if they are 20 or older when the season starts.
Fast is 22. He signed his ELC at age 20. He burned a year playing in Sweden. He's burning another year this year in the AHL. He has one year remaining.
I post in a confusing manner.. Haha. Still upset about that Vick conversation I see.
You didn't follow the simple manner that the posts were stated in and clearly can't follow the simple layout and summary of those posts either.
Do me a favor, go back, re-read the posts and my corresponding responses and you'll see that what I said made perfect sense. The reason I know this, multiple people quoted my post agreeing with it and clearly understanding my point(s).
I love how you say I "compounded the confusion" also by saying I don't want an aging, injury prone player in Kesler for young prospects. What's confusing about that? That Kesler is aging? That his play has factually declined? That he's been quite injury prone over the past couples of years? What part are you confused by?
Let me clarify if in as simple a way as possible. I don't believe, we should be trading Miller, even if we get another C prospect in our system equal or better then him, for aging veterans who are injury prone. We have very little top end center depth both on the Rangers and in our system. We need as many of these potential players as possible.
Maybe the words I use are too big.
Can we stop moving players for the sake of making a move?
Why not, when we can have an all-star team from the early 2000's?
I don't understand why everyone wants to move guys as soon as they show promise or some sort of good play
All 3 players you're referring to were very good when we signed them and not past their prime. Only questionable one was Richards. Nash was 28 and MSL was a PPG player this year mostly without Stamkos.
So that if they go MDZ they can get all high and mighty and be all "I told you so, I told you we should get rid of him before his value plummeted." Makes them look cutting edge. If they're wrong they'll either double up like with seen with Zucc or just be quiet and no one will remember it was them anyway.
