GDT: #17 - 11/10/18 | RANGERS @ blue jackets | 7:00 - MSG

[Harbour Dog]

I think we will get a very good one, yes.

Do you advocate trading him?

Return-dependent obviously.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Thankfully we are ahead...that was ugly

Ahead of what?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Are we allowed to like both Pionk and ADA on this forum? Or does liking one make you have to dislike the other lol

 

[Edge]

If this continues, what do you think are the odds they’ll just try to resign him?

I think they end up moving him because of what they have in place and what they still need to find.

If anything, I think the return is increasing and the Rangers are potentially in a place to deal from depth instead of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Pionk has proven he can be shifty. He's way too transparent coming out of the zone, telegraphing his passes. Needs to hide his passes better. That pass coming up ice on the PP is just bad, though. You double-pump and then try to make a long pass? That's just bad.

The games tied?

 

[Ghost of jas]

Too much motor boating.

Is there such a thing?

 

[Tob]

Too much motor boating.

Have fun job hunting tomorrow Steve.

We’re gonna get a crazy return for Hayes

I don’t want to trade him. Chytil and Andersson aren’t ready for top 6 duties, and we don’t know if they ever will be. I’d rather keep Hayes and have very good center depth just in case, instead of just hoping for the best.

 

[Fitzy]

The games tied?

Ahead in puck possession- the only thing that matters.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

The games tied?

For the current Rangers squad, tied IS ahead.

 

[Tob]

Chytil with a cool 5 minutes of ice time noice

trade Chytil now while his value is high

 

[Hunter Gathers]

It depends on what the return is. If you can get a first, a very good prospect, and something else? I think you move him.

 

[Svenhart2008]

I think that bridge has been crossed. Not only is his value going up, but so is his price tag.

Fair enough. Could his current contract be perceived as “show me”?

May not be best for the Rangers cap-wise, but in terms of sporting success, I could see that working for both parties.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Ahead of what?

D'oh

 

[Rempe73]

Lmao

Haha that was indeed a good one

 

[Edge]

Hayes played like this after the TDL too, I think it may just be actual development. It’s crazy how much better he’s gotten year after year
I legitimately think if you gave Hayes a decent sniper and another 1st liner on his wing he’d put up 65

In fairness, Hayes has done this before.

He’s a guy who swings from comparisons to Joe Thornton to swamp grass depending on the season, game, or even the shift.

When he’s on, everyone falls in love with him all over again.

When he’s off, they turn pretty quickly.

So, in a sense, Hayes is like the personfication of this board.

I think Pionk may have flogged a couple of guys girlfriends here.

It has to be a very good prospect, and I doubt we will get anymore more than a 1st and a B prospect. At best.

 

[will1066]

Absolutely loving DeAngelo's game tonight. Might be his best game as a Ranger so far.

He's playing like a rover, all over the place, on top of the play, and the mistakes have been minimal, from what I see.

 

[eco's bones]

I like Pionk but he made a horrible play on that Wennberg shorthanded goal and LOL at Micheletti for making up this bullshit reason for the play. Yeah the rest of them were way up the ice but he wasn't under much pressure and Pionk could have skated the puck up and if necessary just dumped it in. Thankfully Vesey tied it up.

 

[Edge]

Do you advocate trading him?

Return-dependent obviously.

Key thing being the second part.

At this point, I want a very good prospect - not just a late first round pick.

I think the values have switched. The late first is the sweetener, show me what prospect you’re willing to offer first.

 

[Fitzy]

The more little mini-Pionks running around in NY City, the better for all of us.

Ya, there's always added value that Hayes could have some kind of contract agreement in place or we can get a conditional re-sign pick in there as well. If Hayes keeps it up, he'll be the top prize of the TDL. Two way young 2Cs capable of dominating the ice don't come around often at the TDL.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Hayes is playing well.

 

[bl02]

Hayes should be traded immediately following this game. His value will never be higher.

He has been getting better and better over the last two years I think its certainly possible he can continue to play well to the TDL and beyond
