Making a play for Stamkos is exactly what you would expect the Rangers to do. And that's why it's the wrong move. Would he be a nice addition? Absolutely. But then we'll be back to where we started with cap problems and still have more than a few holes to fill. So what's the point other than to market another star player?

Still awaiting the Pierre McGuire called trade. Seems like it should be the Rangers as they are one of the only teams who has traded away many picks and is looking to retool. The others are still going for it.

I missed that...what was he predicting?

Report: Stars free agent defenseman Demers seeking $5.5 million per season

Someone is going to regret that

He said that he thought a deal would get done today where a team looking to restock their system would be trading away an established player while withholding half of their cap hit for a couple of 2nd's.

Tanner Glass to Toronto for 2 2nds. Nice

Gotcha. I guess naturally the thought process has it being NYR and the player being Staal or Girardi?

Wonder if the Rangers could get #7++ for Stepan, clear cap space, and then move up to #3.

Derek Stepan
Tanner Glass
ARI 4th round pick


7th OA
Martin Hanzal
2nd round pick (Not theirs but their compensation pick, don't know the number.)

And then


7th OA pick
Kevin Klein
Jesper Fast


3rd OA pick
Scott Hartnell

Don't think we send enough to Columbus but wanted to try a deal without giving up Kreider/Hayes/Miller. And I don't like the first deal without completion of the second.

1-∞.

What if Stamkos cements himself as a Great Guy and wants to play in New York for one season? Moved at the deadline, of course.

I think the description of the team would make some sense to be the Rangers. Not sure if its Staal or Nash or someone else

 

[TheTakedown]

We need BBKers with some insight

$8.5M I'd be ok with but it could easily be $2M more than that.

Can't see us trading Nash for only second rounders while retaining cash. Seems like a poor return for us.

He never said 'only (2) 2nd rounders' so there may be another/other piece(s)

There would have to be, if Nash at 50% could only return 2 2nds - I'd rather hold on to him and deal him at the deadline.

Same. Though if he returns that with no salary being retained, I'd be quite pleased.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Hahaha ^^

 

[hi]

Actually someone is going to be extremely happy

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Nothing is going to happen. The Rangers aren't doing ****.
