Proposal: Nyr-edm

[ManofSteel55]

You wouldn't trade Letestu for Buchnevich????

Yeah ok. A 4th line center for a top prospect.

Get real.

While I agree that Buchnevich has more value, where does he play on our roster? And who plays 4th line center if we trade Letestu?

 

[bernmeister]

Rangers pass. No need for another C or to deal away our top prospect and another 1st when those are the type of assets the team should be collecting at the moment

The rangers don´t have a 2nd this year.

NYR:
RNH
Letestu

EDM:
Buchnevich
Girardi (50% retained so 2.75 cap hit)
1st round pick
2nd round pick


Rangers get Nugent-Hopkins. 1st line center. Letestu would be our 4th line center. Would then have to move Brassard in a trade (which shouldn't be difficult as he put up low tier 1st line numbers the past two years and his contract is reasonable)

Edm get a top blue chip RW in Buchnevich. They get a much needed RHD in Girardi. Girardi cant be a 1st pairing dman anymore, but your kidding yourself if he cant slot below Larsson and be a solid rock. Oilers can use the picks to upgrade their team even more.

Dan G has a no movement clause I do not see him waiving to go to Edmonton. Oilers have a back log at wing already and oiler need Nuge to protect McDavid and Leon D from getting in over their heads

 

[Raspewtin]

We really don't need RNH.

If we're spending futures we really really can't afford to we need to do it on RHD.

Since when is 6'2 undersized???

Just stop. You clearly don't know anything about Buchnevich.

Now, I'm no expert, but size isn't just height. You conveniently left out that he is 160 lbs.

Not that I'm holding it against him, Gaudreau is only 150ish I believe. Still though.

I don't know where you got that number, but it's very old. He's 176 now, pretty much the same size Malkin was when he entered the league. Very similar builds.
