Nothing really that new. Leafs sniffing around Georgiev. Rangers scouting the Avs. Some comments about the Rangers scouting the Phantoms (Philly AHL).

I just think the only thing about Jost that moves the needle for most people is his draft position. Tell me something about his game that you like? He’s undersized, not physical, not particularly good defensively and he’s been unable to find his scoring despite opportunities to play with lots of different high end guys. Compher is out producing him and he’s considered more of a shutdown/energy guy. It’s not that I don’t like Jost or think he has some upside that he may find with a change of scenery, but if he’d been drafted 25-35 instead of at 10 would anyone really be interested in him as the main piece for Kreider? I’d rather a guy like Gauthier and a 2nd than Jost and a late 1st. That late 1st is gonna be 3+ years from helping us. A guy like Gauthier would almost undoubtedly help us either immediately after being acquired or next season and forward.

I looked at the Phantoms roster and I don't recognize a single name aside from Frost and Bigras

Most of the Flyers prospects that are interesting to me are either in the NHL, or not signed yet

someone suggested trading Kreider for Nichuskin and a 1st, and I blacked out, and now I'm drinking like its 2014 and I'm single and childless.

But when they do become full-out sellers at some point in the second half of the season, big Rangers winger Chris Kreider will be the Bruins top option for a top-6 winger at the trade deadline, according to multiple hockey sources. It isn’t even a certainty that the Rangers will decide to part with a player that’s been a core member of their group since they selected him 19th overall in the 2009 NHL Draft, but it’s hard to imagine they would keep him given their status as a rebuilding franchise.

The Rangers know the Bruins very well from the Nash trade two years ago.

#1st round pick and what else?

Frederic? Bjork? Studnicka?

The Rangers can get a better deal from the Avs.

If we deal with Philly I hope they throw in Greg Carey. Been watching him for ten years and he has one of the best shots I've ever seen. Put him on the right boards on PP2 and let him just fire away.

As others have mentioned- a Fast to Philly deal makes a lot of sense.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

We play the Phantoms on Jan25 so we’re not necessarily scouting Philly for a trade guys

The Russian kid. German Rubstov. Former #1 pick from 2016. Isaac Ratcliffe. Those are the other NHL prospects besides Frost.

The Rangers liked Jay O'Brien in 2018. The Flyers took him at #19. His career has gone backwards the last two years.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Staal for Frost.

Plz?

Do teams really scout each other anymore to look at their systems? Every game is on TV somewhere. There is video available everywhere. The Rangers sent a pro scout to LV to send a scouting report to Knoblauch?

It’s possible they wanted a specific report on how to handle a particular player, i dont know.

 

[True Blue]

#1st round pick and what else?

I have said my viewpoint. Given what Boston lacks and how close they are and given what Kreider represents: Fredric, Beecher & 1st.

Studnicka is a pipe dream.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Every year we make at least one AAAA trade, i think this year it’ll be Lettieri. Dude is tearing it up in Hartford but just simply never put it together with the big team. If i get to guess I’d think he gets moved unless we decide to keep him for the playoff run down in the AHL.

 

[RangerBoy]

I saw that game. Luke Kunin scored two big goals. He is starting to find his game in the NHL. We discussed him in 2016 & 2017 when the Rangers were looking to trade Stepan. The Wild were more interested in Stepan in 16 than 17. Joel Eriksson-Ek? He set up Kunin for a SHG. Jordan Greenway? Former BU player. He would fit the Rangers. Ryan Donato stinks.

Is Lias Andersson a fit there?

Guerin inherited 3 NMC's in Parise, Sutter and Zuccarello. Geurin gave Spurgeon a NMC. Good luck with the expansion draft.

Can they? Sakic is a known tight-ass and we have done well in dealings with Boston in the past. Who is Sakic going to give up that will be better than the players you mentioned?

Maybe the Colorado 1st will end up being better, but I wouldn't count on that.

I honestly think Boston's 1st would end up being better. Call me crazy, but I'm not super impressed by the Bruins' depth up front other than their top line, even though they are the best line in hockey.

 

[Kovalev27]

I could see us trading him to the Bruins because he’d sign there long term. We’d probably get more from them because of it.

maybe an additional pick conditioned on resigning.

from Boston I’d want a first and Beecher or a first Studnicka plus a conditional 2nd in 2021 on resigning.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Flyers and Rangers swapped prospects. Lias for one of theirs

Yeah, and outside of the Blues, the path to the cup in the west is easier.

You aren't wrong on Sakic but, to the best of my recollection, that has only applied when he has had the most leverage (such as the Duchene deal). He doesn't have a ton of leverage in this scenario as he won't be the only GM interested in Kreider and it is a time sensitive move. He doesn't have the luxury of sitting in the press box until a desperate GM calls him and makes a stupid deal.

 

[The New Russian Five]

Kreider is from Massachusetts, I am guessing he grew up a Bruins fan. If he gets traded there I think there is a very good chance he gets re-signed. Rangers should definitely look for a conditional pick if he is traded there.

Staal is still in the lineup lol

that threat should heighten the Maple Leafs awareness.
