I have no idea what's going on anymore.

Haha. Welcome to my mind.

 

[Rempe73]

With their games and the ability to translate it.

And frankly, with the personalities.

Makes sense. Thanks.

 

[NYRKING30]

Ehhh, drafting Byram + Newhook is what allows them to be competitive now and later, especially considering their core is pretty young.

I personally felt they should have traded for immediate help. I mean they still can anytime this summer and the TDL to trade next year. But my point still stands I think. If they can start adding legit help now, they can really take advantage of the conference and be a perennial cup contender.Being patient and staying conservative in these coming years isn't the answer and not the way to go IMO.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Bet the canes take Kaliyev

They made a better pick

 

[Rempe73]

I like Suzuki. Good pick

 

[Edge]

Could be said about any prospect past #2.

Anyway no reason to add more angst tonight.

Eh, some more than others.

When you watch Tomasino against faster teams, there’s a little bit of a feeling like he’s got a hand grenade on his stick.

 

[Machinehead]

That's a good pick

 

[Richard Banger]

I say call it a night and regroup in the morning. Maybe after these guys sleep on some of these deals they'll be more open to make a trade.

 

[GregSirico]

Every team now wants their own Sedin twins redux.

 

[Levitate]

He’s a smug prick.

I don't know if he really is but with Tampa's inability to get over the hump despite massive talent and their collapse last year, I just can't believe he's not under more scrutiny

 

[NYR94]

Such a weird statement to make by the owner, "we'll never draft a defenseman in the first round." Let hockey people make hockey decisions.

Pionk and the 20th for Trouba is still a terrible return, it being their own first just makes it more embarrassing that their rental didnt work out for them. They never should have let it get to this point with him. Its literally been 2 or 3 years that hes wanted out.

Why is it such a 'terrible return' for a player who was being traded with 1 year remaining on his contract before Unrestricted Free Agency? He had had multiple years remaining on his contract, the return would have been much higher... Also, what about those blurbs that Trouba's camp forced the Jets hand to get him to only 1 of two teams... Just what type of return did you expect for a player with only 1 year remaining on his contract, and where the player/agent basically limit his destination to one of only two options?

Holding onto him for one year and trading him at the deadline wouldve been better asset management than what they ended up doing.

-What type of return do you think they're getting at the trade deadline? 1st rounder + what? Do you see the Jets as being a team that's going to weaken their blueline just prior to a playoff run? What if Trouba got injured leading up to the trade deadline? Then they get nothing for him...

Its not bias. Everyone thinks that is an absolutely awful return for Trouba except people who see Pionk's 14 point in 28 games from over a year ago and ignore everything else about that player.

Yes certain Ranger fans are being biased because they refuse to acknowledge that the 1st rounder we got from the Jets was a valuable asset... Look how many fans have claimed that we got Trouba and Lemiuex for a Kevin Hayes rental... They're ignoring the fact that that 1st rounder we got from the Jets was now our asset... It makes no difference whose pick it originally was... We didn't get Trouba & Lemiuex for Hayes...

We got 1 year of Trouba's services and Lemiuex for a Kevin Hayes rental and a 20th overall 1st round draft pick...

 

[Gresch04]

Rex Ryan isn't even their coach.

Underrated post.

 

[Edge]

Makes sense. Thanks.

It creates a little bit of a one-two punch against them.

 

[Tob]

It's cheap enough now to move up from the 37th pick.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Come on Jimothy+49 for 31.

 

[17futurecap]

You think Carolina will move up

 

[Rempe73]

Because there’s no such thing as trading for a perfect guy who is the perfect age with a perfect contract with perfect term and a perfect cap hit. He’s a great player who is an RFA. Stop overthinking it. The Rangers will most likely end up signing him anyways.

 

[Savant]

That’s why I’m annoyed. They probably turned down Buch+ For a reach.

Same

Does Kaako have a bro?

 

[Edge]

It's cheap enough now to move up from the 37th pick.

Should we tell him guys?

 

[GregSirico]

I think this is a spot where I package one of the 2nd's + Vesey and try and take Buffalo's pick.

 

[Alluckks]

It’s gotta be the damn non-determined salary cap that has all these trades held back

Trouba is gonna sign long term as an rfa

10 of 10 people do Hayes or the 20th for Trouba

Lemieux for Pionk is fair too

 

[I Eat Crow]

Think Brink goes off the board here
