Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XXIX

[GoAwayPanarin]

If its Pitt I want their 1 or a 2 and Addison or Hallander.

 

[BringBackLibertys]

Pitt is rumored to be hot for Zuccarello..... Something along the lines of Zucc at 50% for Pearson (cap purposes) and Caleb Addison?

Do you mean Calen Addison? If so, sorry, but we need more, especially if we are taking back cap to make it work for them.

Addison and a 2nd has been my hope all along.

That's fine WITHOUT the cap dump, add the cap dump means add another pick.

 

[Webster]

Don't forget Zucc is in contract talks, it would surprise me if they can't agree on deal.

I wouldn't be surprised either way. What would surprise me is if both Hayes and Zucc were extended. At most I think one of them might stay.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Please no Cody Ceci

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Please no Cody Ceci

What makes you think the Rangers would be even remotely interested in trading for him?

A cap dump makes it Addison and a 1st.

Pitt doesn't have their next 2 2nds

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Thats fine.

Addison/Hallander+1st

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Pitt doesn't have their next 2 2nds

Then a 1st it is along with Addison!

 

[Leetch3]

Pitt doesn't have their next 2 2nds

guess we'll take a 1st then

Pearson is more than a mere cap dump. He has 2 years left after this one at $3.75m cap hit. NO WAY. Unless they also retain some cap, say $750k. So maybe:

Pearson (with $750k retained) + Addison + PIT 1st + PIT 3rd for Zuccarello (with $750k retained)

Dont forget a 7th in 2020.

 

[Thirty One]

Does Pittsburgh want to get rid of Pearson? They could have just kept Hagelin. Would be a lot easier to get out from under.

 

[BringBackLibertys]

Every trade we make until the deadline better include the other teams 2020 7th, or this fan base will revolt on Gorton!

RIP in Pieces, Webby.

It's coming. You're going.

Best think I ever did on this forum was mute that fool.

 

[charliemurphy]

I'd really like to know if Gorton has spoken to Nashville about both Krieder and Zucc.

 

[Off Sides]

Dont forget a 7th in 2020.

Of Course, How else would Gorton win his 1 dollar Brewster's Millions / Trading Places style bet he made with Sather?

First he has to get all the 2020 7ths, then he has to trade them all away at or before the 2020 draft.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

The ultimate Gorton comeback to the #tuff ranger fans would be trading for a literal Sissy

 

[wafflepadsave]

You mean to tell me none of those bubble teams don’t need shattenkirk?

This deadline scares me a little. I have no idea what we are going to be watching next Wednesday. I hate the thought of paying MSG prices for minor league hockey.

Look at it as an investment. Easy for me to say, it's not my money. So therefore, I am sorry. But yeah, I would be concerned. I reiterate, it would be a HUGE mistake to trade Kreids in addition to those that supposedly are "already gone". That ONE player (Kreids) is the difference between going into the 2nd phase of a rebuild.......opposed to literally starting from scratch. 1 step forward, 2 or 3 YEARS back.
I don't want that for you......nor, me and other Rangers fans. In my case, I may NOT have that much time, to go through a 4-6 yr rebuild. This needs to be 2-3 and icing at least a more than competitive team.......kind of like what we have now, before the ensuing trades. Kudos for our guys, we really were supposed to be worse than this, but its actually inevitable, and the losses will come in droves once Zuccha, McQuaid and Hayes are history. If you really think about it, those are our BEST puck controlling/best passers we have. Who will do that passing to Kreids or Zbad? Even losing a Namestnikov or Vesey will really hurt this team. They may not be producing much, but who will replace them? Not like we have NHL ready players to replace them. Yeah, it will be painful and I am sorry for your lost $75-100. Enjoy the good food, and try not to throw up, upon completion of the game.
