GDT: 2019 NHL Entry Draft in Vancouver, BC 5:00 PDT/8:00 EST NBSCN

[Anzi]

I still think Zucc stays in Dallas. Too good of a fit for both sides.

I'd be more confident in him signing if DAL didn't have to give up their 1st. Zucc might demand a lot of money and to have to give up a first on top of that may be too much.

 

[NYR94]

Forgot how much those raging hormones mess up your face

Imagine the cloud of AXE body spray hovering over the stage by now.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

No. Like @SA16 said, this just means they're not signing him tomorrow. The window to discuss UFA opens Sunday.

Relax.

If he wanted to sign there, he would have done it already.

 

[Edge]

Confirmed. Rangers did a least reach out to Colorado, who wasn’t interested in moving the pick because they liked someone (Newhook).

However, Colorado and Rangers are not done talking Kreider. Talks are still open.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

It’s not gonna take long for us to look back on tonight as the great night that it was.

So weird that a night like this could feel like a letdown. That’s gonna fade real quick.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I wonder if Gorton can extend Kreider at a fair number and go after Zucc? In that scenario, they could flip Buchnevich and something else for an upgrade elsewhere.

Ugh no we dodged that bullet already.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Its amazing. Tonight was the one night you would of thought Ranger fans would be pumped. Trouba on Monday and Kakko tonight. Seems like its mostly negative because we didnt get a pick in the teens lol

 

[NYRKING30]

You don't know that. What about Trouba, Kakko, Kravtsov, Fox, a full year of Lemieux? The improvement of Chytil, Howden, Lias? You just don't know.

What about the left side of the defense? What about a full year of no Hayes and Zucc? What about a potential full year without Kreider? What about a 1 year older Hank? What about another 2nd line center? What about Kravtsov and Fox needing a year in the AHL? What about if Lias needs to go back and forth? Still holes and question marks everywhere.

Why the f*** would they do any of that.

Jesus christ Rangerstown!

We are finally building. You guys are like people who lived under the Iron curtain who keep wanting to go back because they don't know any better.

 

[Richard Banger]

What about Buch? Are they in talks with Buff? Or EDM?

 

[Mac n Gs]

I have to confess that my first thought was, “Great. You just know Mr. Sulky is gonna sign elsewhere as a last middle finger to the Rangers.”

I know it’s not right. And I know it’s not fair. But it was the thought that popped in there.

It's definitely easy to get frustrated at it, but it really just means that he won't have a contract tomorrow. I won't rule out Nill trying to get this done, especially with how much pressure there is from management to win. Sean Shapiro reported that Nill doesn't care about losing the 2020 first in this deal.

 

[Gresch04]

Saying Pionk is a solid player because he happened to play too many minutes for us is embarrassing.

 

[Crease]

I feel like folks would be more upbeat right now if Trouba for Pionk and the 20th happened tonight and not earlier this week.

 

[GregSirico]

Confirmed. Rangers did a least reach out to Colorado, who wasn’t interested in moving the pick because they liked someone (Newhook).

Unless Kaut and a future 1 are on the board ... pass.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

A lot of people have been trying to convince everyone the Jets won that trade.

 

[Kovalev27]

Times up we won the trouba trade

 

[GAGLine]

I'd be more confident in him signing if DAL didn't have to give up their 1st. Zucc might demand a lot of money and to have to give up a first on top of that may be too much.

If Zucc wants to sign there, they will sign him. They don't care about the pick.

 

[Levitate]

Wonder if next years first might be open at this point...spitballing

That said, a couple of young prospects wouldn't be a bad return either

 

[NYRKING30]

Hearing the Bobfather say Staten Island has made my night haha.

 

[Matt4776]

If he wanted to sign there, he would have done it already.

It’s going to be rather embarrassing for you when Zucc re-signs.

Take a breather.

 

[SA16]

I wonder if Gorton can extend Kreider at a fair number and go after Zucc? In that scenario, they could flip Buchnevich and something else for an upgrade elsewhere.

According to Webster Zucc hates Gorton for how he was treated this year. He's not coming back.

What would even be the return? Feel like next years 1st would be in the late 20s

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

glad we didn't stay at 20

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I feel like folks would be more upbeat right now if Trouba for Pionk and the 20th happened tonight and not earlier this week.

Agreed. Expectations are everything sometimes.

 

[Greg02]

I feel like folks would be more upbeat right now if Trouba for Pionk and the 20th happened tonight and not earlier this week.

This is absolutely true. People care about entertainment.

 

[NYR Viper]

One of the late 2nds + Vesey for #31?

 

[Fugazy]

I feel like folks would be more upbeat right now if Trouba for Pionk and the 20th happened tonight and not earlier this week.

Very accurate.

Yes there are but this team can absolutely finish middle of the pack.
