Proposal: Rangers/Islanders

[12Dog]

In one of the Kreider trade threads, a fan claimed he would score 50 goals playing with McDavid.

So could I

jhs has 32 points in 39 games, not exactly struggling

Context:

Prior to those 2 games: 2 goals and 26 points in 37 games. That’s not struggling for a 22/23 year old who has had multiple cups of coffee at the NHL level?

Come on. I’m not saying he’s bad, I still think there’s a chance but to act like a prospect who was highly touted as he was who looked good in his brief stints at the NHL level isn’t struggling with those numbers is a little ridiculous.

Kreids one of the few forwards that could keep up with McD speed wise. He would also help by providing a nice screen for McD when setting up in O zone. They would compliment each other well, lol.

Well, you guys would demand McDavid for Kreider, so that is not gonna work.

 

[Thrasymachus]

I just don't see the Rangers and Islanders working together on a trade.

Has only happened once before, with Jyri frikkin Niemi, a nothing prospect

Well you guys dealt the Great One so anything is possible. I don't see any deal here but I would like to see them play on the same line. OH and throw in Kucherov on the RW.

Context: if you artificially remove a player's two best games from his stat sheet, every player is going to look worse than they are.

So you’re saying 4 goals and 6 points is an everyday occurance?

Are we still preoccupied with 1985?

He MIGHT approach 40 in that dream scenario - don't see 50. I could certainly see high 30's-40 considering he'll prob hit 30+ here.

 

[Machinehead]

That might be a tad much for Kreider

Exactly.

 

[Machinehead]

Funny how every Rangers trade proposal turns into "yeah but I would trade for Kreider/Zibanejad." Yeah, and I would buy a yacht.

As for the OP, it's awful for the Islanders. I never understood the appeal with Hajek. He has like 20 points in his life. I have him below most of our D prospects.

 

[PROMputt]

When making a proposal the other team's needs have to be considered. The Islanders are flush with young defense-men right now(some in the NHL, some at the Bridge and two from the last draft). Not only do I think the Islanders will not be trading for another defensive prospect I think they are going to have to trade one if not more of their prospects.

 

[benedictTavares]

I really like Zibanejad I just wouldn't want to pay what it would cost to pry him from the Rangers.
Also, neither team is going to want to deal with the other.

Could you imagine if by some miracle the Rangers traded what ended up being the missing piece over the next couple of seasons? I would not want to be that GM.

 

[Uncle Dru]

Makes zero sense trading Kreider, of course NYR fans ask for the moon. Not rocket science

 

[ElLeetch]

Think Ho-sang is worth more than Hajek

Ho-Sang is worthless.

 

[Baymen4]

Ho-Sang is worthless.

Hajek is worthless.

 

[12Dog]

Hajek is worthless.

Worth less

 

[LeapOnOver]

The only thing JHS is struggling at is staying in the NHL. He's great in the AHL. Let's be real when coming up with nonsense words like "struggling". Only one of these prospects is "struggling" at the AHL level.

 

[IslesNorway]

I do actually believe the Rangers and Islanders could make a trade this year but it will be something other than this. I can see the Islanders having interest in both Zucca and Hayes, and with the Rags going into a rebuild of sorts, old enmities might be put aside for a while

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

This is all assuming Lou picks up the phone

which he wont

I know you're from Norway and you would like to see Zucc on the Island, but that's not happening. Not ever. Never ever.

 

[TGWL]

I'm not sold on Hajek, but I also don't have interest in acquiring JHS.

 

[IslesNorway]

I know you're from Norway and you would like to see Zucc on the Island, but that's not happening. Not ever. Never ever.

Far from it. It would make lots of Norwegians wannabe Isles fans like there are tons of wannabe Rangers fans here now. People who are more Zucc fans than actual Rangers fans.

Player wise he is just what the Islanders need, and that's why I see then actually have interest in him.

 

[Kocur Dill]

There are plenty of teams to get a forward from. No need to help the Rangers build their team.

What team? Hartford? I can't believe Lamarillo dislikes the Rangers that much that he wouldn't offload Kirill Kabanov 2.0.

BTW, rangers value Hajek more. He still has potential. Ho Sang seems destined to be a "****ing AHL All Star."

 

[Calad]

Right, much in the same way the Islanders would only trade Bailey for Kravstov and a 1st. No other combination of assets in the Rangers organization comes remotely close to moving the needle for me. Really, this is about how much Bailey means to us, that's all.

Yeah but all your posturing about it doesn't mean much because the Rangers aren't rebuilding or looking to buy players
