Rumor: Rangers working on a Giordano deal?

If we’re trading to protect Blackwell, it better be in order to pick ADA

I believe there are few cities DeAngelo would hate more than Seattle, and few people the city of Seattle may hate more than Tony DeAngelo.

I would be amused to see him there. Good thing he has absolutely no control over what we do with his contract.

Any idea if we get Gio if we can still afford Eichel?

Gio is a one year contract. We have loads of cap room this year. Gio wuld not stop us form doing anything this year.

Yeah they have cap space this season (Buch likely is gone anyway, and Chytil could be in the trade) leaving only Shesterkin.

I honestly don't understand Carp's tweet. Either they picked him or they didn't.

So, is he saying they were going to pick him but the Rangers made a trade to convince them otherwise? If so, Vince's tweet contradicts that idea.

If he actually means they pick him and then trade him back, a) I thought that wasn't allowed (unless maybe that's only if you then retain salary), b) why focus on a 13th man like Blackwell (which is all he is on an actual contender) as opposed to any other asset SEA has accumulated, and c) the bit about Giordano reads like pure speculation on his part.

EDIT: also, why structure it for after they make the pick? Why not simply have a deal in place where SEA sends NYR a player (e.g. Giordano) + their agreement to pick a different player and NYR sends back the agreed upon return. Why make it two separate events?

Like I said, doesn't make sense, at least to me.

If Seattle had to submit their picks this morning are they just allowed to change the puck in the middle of the day? Meaning if they selected Blackwell this morning are they allowed to just call the league and change that all of a sudden? I’d think not

Schrodinger's Colin Blackwell

I would have the odds lower than 50/50 that Carp understood the rules before making that tweet

Of course not, Carp is a clown

 

[Off Sides]

My guess (if Carp makes any sense), an unreported Ranger trade for Giordano already took place.

Rangers paid for Seattle to take him, (and possibly also for whatever value beyond that to actually get him) (and possibly that included them also taking Blackwell as their pick from the Ranger instead of someone else, and he just had that part backwards)

 

[Doctyl]

I feel like Carp embarrasses himself at every major event each year, whether it’s a draft or trade deadline

We had a defense last year where 27 year old Jacob Trouba was considered its veteran presence. Gio isnt washed yet either. Ill gladly take him on a 1 year deal

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

I’m so confused.

Giordano makes a ton of sense in so many ways. His contract is bad for most teams but it's perfect for this team. 1 year left @ $6.75m is too much for most teams to even think about acquiring. He's 37 and played big minutes for a bad team last year that couldn't score and did well. Cut back his usage and tough minutes and you're looking at a nice veteran presence for a season with his contract expiring right when Zibanejad and Fox's new deals kick in. On top of that, as he is older than 35, if the team wanted to re-sign him they could do so on 1 year deals with some bonuses if necessary.

The guy is known to be in phenomenal shape and is still looking to win so he is hungry. Worst case scenario would be that he doesn't work out and the Rangers trade him at the deadline for a late round pick to a team looking for defensive depth.

 

[Kovalev27]

37 years old and prob would be one of the best dmen we have. He’s a heck of a player still that could play a few more years after this one.

 

[NYSPORTS]

I’m so confused.

wait until the Barkov trade proposals begin . . . including Giordano.

 

[NYblades]

Giordano will be 38 at the beginning of this coming season. At least he's 5 years younger than Zdeno Chara.

 

[Trxjw]

I mean there's a possibility that the Rangers made a deal for Seattle to pick Giordano that involved an agreement that they'd either expose Blackwell or that it ensured Blackwell would be the pick. Seems more likely that Carp just confused himself trying to word a tweet.

his contract is not bad… for anyone. Giordano is still a great player

 

[NYR Viper]

Well, for most teams in the NHL, they can't take on a $6.75m contract right now. That's not an overly valuable contract in the NHL currently. That's not to say he isn't a valuable player.

If the Rangers made a trade that affected the expansion selection, wouldn't the trade call have to have been made and announced by now?
