Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYR] Rangers agree to terms with Shestyorkin and Kravtsov (official in May)

Cool, we’ll take Soderstrom at 8

As much as Georgiev is a good fit in Edmonton, I don’t think Edmonton has realistic desirable D prospects for NYR. Bear is decent but we already have a handful of similar players.

Big day for the Rangers. Getting Shesty and Vitali over is a huge deal.

Would love to get Soderstrom at 8

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Let him start in the AHL unless he gives you no choice in training camp / pre-season.

Yeah, unless one clearly outplays the other in camp, I see a situation where both Georgie and Shesty will shuttle back and forth with HTD to get 40-50 games each

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Edmonton cannot help the Rangers fix their awful defense. Would rather trade with a team that can

Every EDM proposal ends with a Lucic add on

The new ERA us underway

The Czar is coming......

 

[One Winged Angel]

Sounds like you guys need to pass on Kakko for Byram

Nah, we’re ok. Thank you for your concern though.

Rangers are gearing up to have the best hockey name team in the league.

It all starts with getting top prospects, but they have to pan out, and then you still need to add good players. It's a start in the right direction, but best team in a few years? Too early to tell.

Just shocking to me that any team would load up on Russian players the way the rangers do. It's concerning enough that they can disappear to the KHL...

Better than loading up on players like Stamkos that can disappear in the playoffs.

I see no reason why Lias cannot be a good NHL player, but he was hyped as a DAY ONE 3rd line NHL center to begin with.

Remember when we took Malhotra at #6 and everyone lost their minds wjen Muckler called him a third liner, then he would up being pretty mich a perfect third liner. Point is, you need a third liner, too. Granted #7 is a little high, but you could do worse than having your #3C spot locked down for 10-12 years with a first rounder. Not everyone is going to the HOF. I think he will be just fine. If they took Chytil first and Lias second, does anyone have a problem?

I don't have a problem.

The only problem I have (and I'm guilty of it myself) is pencilling in draft picks before they've even played in training camp.

Ever since Lundmark and Brendl I try to curb the enthusiasm. Posters telling me that not only was Garth Murray going to be a great 3rd line center bUt a future NY Rangers' Captain makes me not want to jump the gun with these guys.

I know you've seen a lot of players come and go. Next year's players are always stars. You're right. I don't get too excited about the potential. The tests mean more.

 

[Superlative Soup]

Exciting times in NY. That is a proper rebuild.

I would kill to see the Rangers somehow trade into the Top 5-7 picks and land Bowen Byram. I know, we're already guarantee Hughes or Kakko, I'm greedy - but Byram is going to be a monster on somebody's blueline. We have the pieces to swing that deal.

There's a simple answer - swap picks with the Hawks and take Byram after the Hawks take Kakko. The Hawks would have to sweeten the deal but it might be doable. What do ya think?

Ummm, no. NYR will take either of Kakko or Hughes, whomever the Dev's don't take.

You wouldn't be able to stomach the amount it would take for the Rangers to consider that deal

lol these hawks fans coming here with their cute “trying to move down hehe” spiel, you already have Kane and Toews, you’re not getting Kakko.

Sure. Debrincat+3OA for 2OA works for me

Edit: Why not add Boqvist too. Boqvist, Debrincat, 3OA for 2 OA

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

This makes me believe that sorokin is that much more likely to come over next off season

 

[saintunspecified]

The metropolitan division keeps on getting rougher. Huge infusion of talent to NYR. NJD will finally get their offensive wizard (I love Hischier, but he's not that). Even if the Penguins decline (didn't like what I saw from Malkin, Letang & Kessell, but Crosby is fine), the division is deadly. Philadelphia has great young talent, and they finally got their goalie. Aho is a star, and the Canes have stellar D. NYI have Barzal and a deep young D-corps just entering their prime. CBJ is a total wild card after this season, but at the very least they'll have a base of Seth Jones and PL Dubois to build around. And Washington is still a great team top to bottom.

Man, what a rough division.

 

[McSuper]

Shets said if he has to play in Hartford he will. Let him start there. Unless the Sabres or EDM or Florida wants a goalie. then Georgie can be dealt

Depends on the price ?
