Speculation: Offseason Thread XIX: Alright, Alright, Alright...

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I'd offer Miller and Skjei. Graves seems to have proven that he is almost NHL ready so he can fill that hole and Vesey replaces Miller. Our RD then looks like Trouba, Klein and Girardi 1-2-3.

way too much, if he never reaches his potential we get hosed. Miller is a potential 30 G guy.

That's what I said in the main boards. I'd like an add from Winnipeg though. Pick or prospect.

Trouba needs to be protected in expansion and the Rangers already have three D to protect. Big problem. Staal or Girardi could waive to be left unprotected but those decisions are for next June. It's also another big contract on D. Trouba wants big bucks too.



The Rangers don't have that match but I would offer Mats Zuccarello for Trouba if the Rangers didn't have the above issues.

Paul Maurice is part of the team Europe coaching staff. He coached him in the KHL too. Zuccarello can't block a trade to Winnipeg.

"When I got over there [with Metallurg Magnitogorsk], I had Paul Maurice as my coach," Zuccarello said of the current Jets coach. "I talked to him a lot while I was there, about doing what I could to try and get back to the NHL. Talking to him, listening to him, that really helped me."

“Well I hadn’t met the guy before,†Maurice began. “It’s a real unique dynamic over there. So Mats loves to play. (He) not only loves practice, but he likes coming to practice, he likes being around the guys, he works hard in practice. He loves being at the rink and he loves the game. And that’s not always true over there.

“They’re not – players there aren’t conditioned to smile and have fun and get fired up for games,†he continued. “So I would notice that we’d be going out to a game and Mats would be standing at the door high-fiving everybody, chirping, getting ready to go to the game, and everybody else looked like they were going in for a shift, like, ‘What is this guy doing? All excited about playing hockey in the middle of January in Russia.’

“I really appreciated that from him. I think he loves to play, he loves the game, and as a coach you really appreciate that, but you especially appreciate it over there,†Maurice added. “Because it really stood out how much fun he has at the rink. (I’m sure) you’ve seen it a lot of the time (with the Rangers). He’s probably in the middle of most jokes and he’s laughing all the time. He takes the game seriously, but he’s not spitting nails before a game worrying about it. He goes out and plays as hard as he can. He has fun.

Kreider is easily a better player than Trouba. It will be a trade you will regret having made for years.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

way too much, if he never reaches his potential we get hosed. Miller is a potential 30 G guy.

JT Miller had a shooting percentage of 16 last season. There's no way he can keep that up so either he has to increase his offensive presence or his points will go down rather than up.

Lol on what planet?

I'm a big Kreider fan, but this is silly.

The Rangers don't have that match but I would

Girardi should be off the team regardless either by buyout or whatever. Expansion shouldn't be a problem.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Get this trade done

Well in worst case you can always buy him out.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Skjei+McIlrath for Trouba

 

[SLE17]

What about going the offer sheet route ??

Offer sheets are a bad idea. At some point they'll pay us back.

 

[Trxjw]

I think Gorton would have to pull one over on Chevy to get Trouba here. Some team will give them a good, young LHD.

This is an interesting approach
I personally think we miss The Trouba Train
But get something Else
Younger, rawer...

 

[Boruto]

I would personally like to see what becomes of Skjei. I'd be happy to stand pat to be honest. Getting Trouba doesn't solve our REAL problems of Girardi, Girardi's cap, and Staal's cap.

Someone whose last name ends in "a", perhaps...?

Worked with Fetisov right. Just put him in the trunk.

Someone in NY cam probably apply Girardis face on him as well.

Well it would Push G off of the top pairing, so there is that.

He will be here until hes either traded or bought out. The former is not happening.

Hmmmm.....Forgot about that. That certainly changes the value of Trouba. What if right before Truuna were to sign the offer sheet the Jets were given an ultimatum. You can have a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd or Skjei and Lindberg. Do they take the picks or the players?

Take the picks.

I agree, but I think we need to move some pieces for him.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Take the picks.

No way. If you have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in an upcoming draft, you are PRAYING you come out of it with a Skjei and a Lindberg and only one bust. Never mind the fact that the players could contribute to your team THIS season, and the picks would be years away.
