Confirmed with Link: Derek Dorsett to Vancouver for ANA 3rd '14

[Ail]

A wild $1.6 million in cap space appears

Yup.

Teams are going to start panicking over the potential cap?

Well regardless of that, Dorsett was good on that 4th line, but by no mean irreplaceable.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Derek Dorsett is getting married tomorrow, but not as a Ranger. As a Canuck

Ugh, rough one

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

Good trade!

 

[Thordic]

Keeping Carcillo at a low cap hit seems like a decent option.

I know he has his haters, but the guy can play effective minutes.

 

[NYR Viper]

Nice, another 3rd rounder.

I think it is Anaheim's 3rd rounder, so it will be late

 

[Ail]

Nice, a high 3rd rounder.

Yeah, just said to my girlfriend it's not even a Vancouver third.

 

[Hire Sather]

'14 or '15? Main board says '15

 

[Vitto79]

well I guess they want the cap space. Carcillo coming back now?

 

[OverTheCap]

Was never too enamored with him, but he was an important piece to the 4th line. I don't think he was comparable to what Prust was for us from 2009-2012, Dorsett was more of a run-of-the-mill 4th liner.

We have no 4th liners under contract now. I guess it becomes imperative to resign Carcillo, and of course, at least one of Boyle/Moore. Hopefully one of the kids can push for a spot as well.

It should be '14

Rangers have traded Derek Dorsett to the Vancouver Canucks for a third-round pick (85th overall) tomorrow #NYR

 

[NYRSchrute217]

Dorsett doesn't kill penalties anymore, is small, and doesn't really contribute much outside from his occasional solid forechecking game once every three weeks.

Don't mind this. Some needed cap relief to go towards re-signing Stralman.

 

[Bluenote13]

Yeah, just said to my girlfriend it's not even a Vancouver third.

Yeah I thought it was their own, but another 3rd is nice, could trade up too.

 

[Inferno]

i think it's 15 isnt it?

 

[Ian]

Rangers have picks #85 and #89 now, probably could package them together and get into the 50s/60s.

 

[Mikos87]

That is about what I thought his value was at. They must have other ideas or they like Bourque.

Only downside to Bourque is that he's a lefty shot, but kid is a tremendously hard worker and will do all the little things to win.

Different player this year in HFD compared to the last 2 since he finally grew into a man's body. Fits the system well in terms of speed and defensive acumen. I don't know if he'll outmuscle guys along the boards, but it won't be for a lack of effort.

 

[Hire Sather]

Will take the pick. But please re-sign SOMEBODY ffs.

“@NYRangers: BREAKING: #NYR has acquired a 3rd round pick (the 85th overall) in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft from VAN in exchange for forward Derek Dorsett.”

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Nice return. Dorsett was a warrior with little skill. Loved the guy's hustle, but I'll always remember him for getting posterized by Doughty in Game 1.

It's a 2014 3rd that was Anaheims. Vancouver traded their 2015 3rd with Kesler.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Moore is even more of a priority now.

 

[haveandare]

I liked Doresett, but the org has done well with late picks. Gonna have some faith here.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Will take the pick. But please re-sign SOMEBODY ffs.

On the contrary, i'm expecting a big move out of Sather tonight.

Prust was and is a very good penalty killer, and didn't get his face smashed in every fight. He won a lot more than he lost. Goes to show everyone just how effective of a player Brandon Prust was for the Rangers.

Unlike Dorsett, Prust knew when to drop the gloves for his team, and didn't fight out of personal conflicts. Prust would drop the gloves if the team was slacking or needed a timeout to try and get some momentum back. Dorsett never did that with the Rangers.

We can hope

 

[StepansLabyrinth]

We might be going another direction with the 4th line. Instead of a strong, defensive 4th line we might be rolling a two-way line that can play two-ways. I'm kind of excited to see what happens. Maybe a kids line with Lindberg, Fast, etc.

 

[NYR Viper]

Rangers have picks #85 and #89 now, probably could package them together and get into the 50s/60s.

I am hoping they do what they did last year. Just take the BPA at those spots. They need to add multiple players

Only downside to Bourque is that he's a lefty shot, but kid is a tremendously hard worker and will do all the little things to win.

They don't have a 4LW currently anyways. He will win pucks based on speed
