TSN: Yandle is on the trading block

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Remember when TSN said that Edmonton was talking about #16 OA for Talbot?

They could have talked about it, and the conversation could have been a simple "no".

 

[Kocur Dill]

Why? I thought Sather said Yandle was a player he had his eye on for a long time when the Rangers acquired him. Did the team see something it doesn't like in his play within the context of the Rangers team system that the scouts didn't notice when watching him play for Arizona?

Thought they were getting Edler 2.0, turned out to be Erhoff 2.0, selling high to regain overpaid assets before player gets exposed?

 

[GAGLine]

Supposedly Shattenkirk is in play. His cap hit is 4.25 for the next 2 years. He's a righty.

Yandle and Klein for Shattenkirk +?

Use Diaz and McIlrath as 6/7.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

If they pulled off something around Yandle for Shattenkirk, that would be amazing.

 

[Son of Steinbrenner]

That's interesting, especially post-draft.

It's possible the Rangers heard his price to re-sign and figured out now is the time to make a move. It's also possible this rumor is complete bull****....

Would love Shatty. Makes a lot of sense too.

Shatty #1
Girardi #2
Boyle #3

Down the right looks like proper assignments on paper, in theory.

Right now, until I hear otherwise, I'm going to go with the latter.

 

[poeman]

Wait up...If we get Shattenkirk for Yandle I do that by a country mile.

Shattenkirk is a Rangers fan, a die hard one at that.

Yandle was amazing in terms of production in the playoffs...He clearly should get us a huge get whatever it is.

“@HartnettHockey: You don't trade Yandle. That would be nuts considering AZ taking on half his cap hit, what Rangers gave up to get him, how good Yandle is.”

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Aren't the Blues in cap hell too? Can't see them being able to re-up Yandle.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

“@HartnettHockey: You don't trade Yandle. That would be nuts considering AZ taking on half his cap hit, what Rangers gave up to get him, how good Yandle is.â€

What you gave up to get him cannot be considered. If you find a good deal for his current value that makes sense for the team you do it. What you gave up is a sunk cost.

 

[KingWantsCup]

Good God NO!!!

 

[TurgePurge*]

This thread has been open this whole time...I can't get enough of the tears.

Oh God no.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Gorton trades Yandle and we instantly realize it's more of the same.

While Girardi eats up cap space blowing it on the ice.

 

[clmetsfan]

They could have talked about it, and the conversation could have been a simple "no".

Just like Yandle being on the trading block could mean that someone said "Is Yandle available?" and Gorton replied "Maybe. You'd have to pay through the nose though."

A new GM can't all the sudden give a certain player value.

 

[JayMan82]

I think you forgot to tell Sweeney that

 

[Kane One]

But I thought it was a good move to trade Duclair and a first for Yandle.

 

[DieByTheShield]

Shattenkrik better be coming back or heads will roll.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

But I thought it was a good move to trade Duclair and a first for Yandle.

AV giving MSL what should've been Yandle's PP minutes doesn't make Yandle not worth it, it makes the Rangers incapable of handling a talented d-man.

 

[eco's bones]

Rangers have Yandle this year on a really sweet deal. If they're going to move him I'd expect we're going to get something really, really good back--especially considering what we gave up for him.

There's no reason for all the hysteria. Not even sure he's being offered or what's being offered for him.

 

[Kokoschka]

Pretty much this. Pay a premium and then use him as a 3rd pairing defender .

 

[DieByTheShield]

Maybe that was the plan all along, so they could trade yandle for a large return.

That's one stupid plan, in that case. We're not gonna get as much as we paid for him.
