Yep, he's that kind of player. Hence my interest.Nothing worth giving him away for, I don't like the idea of giving him away anyways, kids got balls which the Rangers lack desperately
Still, he wasn't on the no touch list

Well trading Kreider and the 2nd for the 1st certainly isn’t McDavid +, you obtuse dunce.
I agree 100%. Love what I've seen from him but I agree with the list up top, anyones gone in a good trade. Idk about the Sharks thoughYep, he's that kind of player. Hence my interest.

I'm not one for personal attacks but, obtuse dunce is pretty solid.
We are not trading Staal for Marleau, Staal can mentor the young D we have.We are not married to Vesey but we should not be throwing him or Fast away so quickly for so cheap.
Namest only has value to TB at half due to track record with Stamkos.
reduced Namest expiring + TB 2019 2nd for TB 2020 1st, will even protect up to 20 slots, just get that done.
Other vets, move
certain youth, repurpose, eliminate logjams
Staal -- who is now cheap to buy out as is --- to Leafs at half
for
Marleau at full pop
Marc waives 'cause we have to pay him but not nec play him and there are now too many guys ahead of him. He also is building up goodwill with us for post career by making this favor.
Marleau waives, he plays on 2nd line w/Kreider + Nieves = a speed line.
He wants out, we flip him to contender at TDL.
Leafs get immediate cap relief, and if they eat half on Staal at a meager 2.85, he then becomes a paltry 1.425 to a third team.
plus he is an experienced vet def who can be 3rd pair 7th guy until moved/bought out
those 2 deals,
sign Panarin
take back Hayes at the right # for only $
a couple more deals and we're rollin....

Sold. Isles 2019 3rd for Vesey.
What's the ask for Lemieux from the Sharks?

It's a trend with his postsWhy should the rangers help the leafs without getting anything out of it? Retaining 50% of Staal and getting Marleau back doesn't make any sense.
He's not untouchable. I honestly don't know what I'd trade him for. In reality, he's a 4th liner who can perhaps play his way to the 3rd line. His conditioning needs to improve if he's going to be a consistent 3rd liner. He definitely wasn't use to having a role like that and it lead to him becoming gassed out at times. However, he brings a skill set we've lacked for a long time and should we get back to becoming contenders, he's going to be very useful when the game gets tighter and more physical.
The fact is what I said is valid build around a Center is MUCH more effective then a winger.
Hayes' UFA rights for a 6th.

Following the recent trend of other threads.
The Rangers are still entrenched in their rebuild but perhaps may be turning a corner with a massive influx of picks and prospects over the last 2-3 seasons and not many prime assets in position to be sold off.
NYR would be looking for hockey deals for a Young Top 4 defenseman and a young top 6 forward and more picks and prospects depending on the value of the asset. They also would like to move up into the 6-14 range of the draft if a deal presents itself.
Untouchables: #2 overall pick, Mika Zibanejad, Vitali Kravtsov, K’Andre Miller, Adam Fox
Assets on the block****: Chris Kreider, Vlad Namestnikov, Jimmy Vesey, Ryan Strome, Neal Pionk, Kevin Shattenkirk, Brendan Smith, Marc Staal, #20 overall (not keen on moving unless used to move up or for a prime young asset)
Guys like Buchnevich and Skjei and other assets not listed above can be had for the right price if it’s a deal that makes sense for the Rangers.
In addition, the Rangers will take on cap dumps from other teams that are cap strapped if it means acquiring a young asset as a reward and/or retain salary on players to make deals more attractive.
Dont read the thread thenI don't think anyone respects people who are lazy. When you sit back and make us do your work ("Make a trade with the Rangers"), we become less inspired. Mostly we are reluctant.
Well, you're crazy if you wouldn't trade #2 and Kreider for Hughes.Literally the only bolded words in the entire OP are “#2 overall pick” RIGHT BESIDE the word “Untouchable” to place emphasis on the degree to which it was untouchable and the first proposal in this thread is a trade for said asset.
Cool. What are tomorrow's winning Lotto numbers?Well, you're crazy if you wouldn't trade #2 and Kreider for Hughes.
Kakko will be good, like Eichel...but Hughes will be great, like McDavid.
