I'd trade Risto + the 31st pick for the 10th and run away laughing before JB changed his mind. I think I would do that. My preference would be a first next year plus but assuming Buffalo is in no mood to wait. You know my take that I want to make it work somehow. I really want a Joulevi Risto pairing however it needs to shake down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the best idea after all. Trying to think of options, but with every signing and trade that's made the options get worse. All about utilization. They used him in the same way as Edler. Every situation. He should be PP1 and top four with a steady D pair. Joulevi eventually but maybe Edler first if we actually re-sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if there's a potential Tanev deal there - RHD = Pulock, Tanev, Boychuk who is 35, (and Dobson).... with Mayfield coming the other way. Tanev + DiPietro for Dobson? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBrun says they are going to be aggressive this off-season and plan to be very active in free agency. Panarin is apparently a key target. Plus it's easy to accelerate the rebuild when every player on Earth wants to sign and be traded to your team.

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe we’d have Nolan Patrick instead of Pettersson. Who knows now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 8 hours ago, aGENT said: I thought NYR were rebuilding, why are they trading picks? First rounders no less??!? I thought so too but drafting #2 overall, who is separated by paper thin difference from the #1 overall, who is touted as next Patrick Kane. your plan changes dramatically. They probably think they can push for playoffs in a year or two. Kind of like Toronto with Matthews and Edmonton with McDavid. Kakko as an 18 year old seems to be on par with EP's 19 year old season (just before coming over to the NHL when he broke records in the SHL). I know EP broke a harder record and SHL is a tougher league but I think Kakko's season as 18 year old in Finland is similar to what EP achieved as a 19 year old in the SHL. Kakko will come over right away and probably put up a productive season like EP did. NYR got real lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duodenum Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 This is one of those trades that would get laughed off the boards if somebody proposed it. What a steal for the Rangers if they can get him to re-sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna take a guess and say that maybe they’re like us in 2013, where they want to try and get Lundqvist some support to try and milk any chance of a future playoff run before he retires, much like what we did with the Sedins. To he honest though, I haven’t followed the Rangers since the St.Louis trade so I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To he honest though, I haven’t followed the Rangers since the St.Louis trade so I could be wrong A TDL ago they sent out a letter to season ticket holders saying they don't think they can win with the team as it is constructed and announcing that they were going in a rebuild. They were still fighting for a playoff spot but started selling off players. They asked Lundqvist whether he wanted to be moved or stick around through the rebuild.

New York has freaking horse shoes up its keister They will be praised for their rebuild if they are a playoff team next year ignoring the fact that they got lucky with the lottery that we never did and they've made moves that they would be critical of Benning for doing so. Plus they had moveable assets when they needed to do so and yet didn't trade Lundqvist, while if he were a Canuck, Lundqvist would be criticized for not being moved as a rental or whatever to help the team. The vocal fanbase would be running Lundqvist out of town at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost has term and a pretty cheap contract for a young 35-60+ pt defenseman though, whereas Trouba has one year and is about to get paaaaiiiiid.
