GDT: 2020 NHL Entry Draft

[Savant]

His concussion history is very scary at his age

Yeah no kidding. If it wasn’t he would have gone top ten. But everyone is one concussion away. The Rangers have the org depth, and we know that they liked him.

 

[NikC]

We have a need for centers at the NHL level now. Which player that we were drafting at 22 was going to be ready to play 2c now, or even 2 or 3 years from now? Chytil was drafted in 2017 and may not be ready yet.

Especially when Quinn has him nailed to the bench

 

[NYRangers0723]

I'm not gonna rush to calling it a great pick or a terrible pick, I'm just intrigued as to what this could mean for NYR potentially moving out DeAngelo for a 2nd line center iceman, especially as Strome's deadline nears.

If they do have a plan for that I hope they don’t let him walk for nothing. They need to get something for him

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Trade up for Zary cmon

 

[Savant]

what? He can play on the second PP and he’s expected to make a push for the big time next season

His shot needs a ton of work. I’m not buying that.

 

[TominNC]

That’s not the point. You said you want the Rangers to be harder to play against. How does a guy who has no chance of being on the roster in the near future help with that?

You can go right ahead posting some version of that every half dozen posts, but it doesn't make it right.

 

[NYSPORTS]

I mean, would that really surprise you?

only is the NHL is forced into radical (blank) and we need to share everything equally.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Yeah no kidding. If it wasn’t he would have gone top ten. But everyone is one concussion away. The Rangers have the org depth, and we know that they liked him.

Everyone is NOT one concussion away. It’s all about playing style.

 

[egelband]

What about NJD

Indeed. I forgot. But it seems they got who they wanted. The only team in that fray who went haywire is Columbus.

 

[Jackpot]

Chin diapers everywhere

 

[bleedblue94]

It's a game that begins when Buffalo coming to terms with not getting Lafreniere or Kakko --- whenever that process may begin for them.

Just seems that would be an off-season trade. A deal of that magnitude and such does not seem like a trade that happens in season so you have specific windows to get such a trade done

A few thoughts here:

1. The Rangers-Calgary trade reflects the talks we've had around here about larger talks spurring smaller talks as a result of familiarity. But make no mistake, these two teams will continue talking.

2. The risk here for both the Rangers, and now Calgary, is that if Lapierre remains healthy he'll be a homerun pick. If he can't stay healthy, they'll both potentially look like winners.

3. The Rangers will be keeping very close tabs on their in-state neighbors to the northwest. And they will be stockpiling talent with an eye toward the horizon.

Bingo on #3. If the Rangers are ever lucky enough to have a logjam of talent at any position, the odd men out still have value elsewhere in the league.

Stockpile the best talent, trade for need.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Hitting a guy and playing with compete and will all game and series are different.

But we didn't lose that series because of compete level they have a much more talented roster then us

Lanny McDonald's stache in the building

 

[RickChartraw]

Lanny still looks good. god bless.

As to #3, my thought was this may make Nils expendable even with ADA traded.

What’s not right?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

So what bust do the Flames take here

 

[NYRangers0723]

He has had 3 concussions already that’s not good. Despite what you think we didn’t draft Mcilrath 2.0. This kid had much more skill and can skate. Has a good shot too

 

[GAGLine]

Didnt we outhit Carolina in the series or something like that. We lost because they are a lot more talented than us.

If team A outhits team B, it means team A didn't have the puck.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Yes but we need forwards.

besides the first few picks, none of these guys are playing in the NHL this year

 

[bl02]

Trade up for Zary cmon

With what?

 

[n8]

oh geez, another history lesson.

 

[Jackpot]

Who's the jockey?

Have you ever had a concussion?
