Jake Allen does not do the work. Hutton a good backup. Rangers have the means to pay the salary and go in their new direction.

WOW...

 

[PiggySmalls]

LOL, Rangers would never do it.

I’m probably the only Blues fan that would do it. But I would do Allen for Darling.

What else does St. Louis have to add? Jake Allen doesn’t even have the value of a broken washing machine.

Why is there a snowflake next to Lundqvist?

 

[GAGLine]

St. Louis gets a better goalie and cap relief. What exactly are the Rangers getting in this deal?

 

[Calad]

Lundqvist says no

 

[Halla]

dont see the rangers having ANY interest in this deal.

Allen + top prospect (thomas/kyrou/thompson) for a retained Lundqvist maybe

 

[Trxjw]

I liked it until I saw we had to send the snowflake to the Blues with Hank. Can't do it. Kid has 40 goal upside.

This thread needs a bernmeister counter proposal

You realize that you actually posted this, right?

Hank wants to retire a Ranger.
MAYBE he'd consider being de facto loaned out this year, then returned.
Since restrictions on retained players returning, that is out.
Hank must go out at full 8.5 + pick/prospect.
Then next yr NYR reacquire for 7th.

if big salary to NY not expiring then it must also go back

e.g. Crawford/Hank

-------
we'll take assets for Pavlec, G prospects
make an offer

 

[Lays]

Pretty easy no from Rangers

Maybe the Rangers are sending drugs with him?

It must be like hieroglyphics in Swedish for "The King"

 

[JT Kreider]

Give us Thomas instead of Berglund and then we are talking.

Taking on Berglund AND retaining on Lundqvist is ridiculous.

That's $8 million in cap over the next 4-5 years, and then another $4.25 million in retention for the next 3 seasons. With no incentive whatsoever.

Awful. Just awful. Awful awful awful.

Priceless! haha

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Like, yeah from me, but, why the hell would the Rangers (Or Lundqvist for that matter) do this?

 

[One Winged Angel]

St. Louis could definitely be a threat with Lundqvist, but this deal is awful for the Rangers.

If one of Thomas or Kyrou is involved then yes, otherwise no.

 

[Yakupov64]

If your counter for a 35 year old lundqvist includes thomas or kyrou, you're insane. Why would we not instead just call montreal and offer one of them to them in a package for a 30 year old Price?

I think maybe fabbri could be included and he would make more sense for the rangers anyway. Despite his injuries, he has nhl experience which will be at least one filled decent young roster spot for the rebuild. I think if they'd be willing to give a little and work with fabbri, something could work. But if it's thomas or kyrou I'm calling montreal.

None of Fabbri, Thomas, Kyrou, Thompson, or Kostin are going for a goalie. If needed the Blues can ride Allen to mediocrity until Husso is ready.

 

[Dbrownss]

I have zero interest in trading for a big name goalie....but wtf is this? There is zero reason for NY to do this.

Oh I know we wouldn't do either. I'm just making the point that while we would never trade for a goalie in general, we especially wouldn't target lundqvist when we can have price instead for one of those two

Counter

Rangers get- Allen, Dunn and a 2nd

Blues get- King Henrik and Ryan Gropp

 

[BleedBlue14]

We don't deserve a good goalie.
