Vetted how exactly? What information did this user post that actually came to fruition before guys like Seravelli, McKenzie, etc. posted about said information? Why wasn’t this posted by an actual credible journalist (I’d imagine NYR/DET markets would garner more than enough clicks).
Can you source this thread where this user posted this information also?
he’s not wrong. The poster was vetted thru HF s vetting process and is a long time poster on these forums. He did call things before they have happened prior and some things that never came to fruition. He doesn’t write a newsletter or run a website, so he has no need for clicks. He’s just a guy who has some sources inside the NYR organization. The thread is the trade rumors thread on the rangers board around the time of the draft.
You can choose to believe his info or take it with a grain of salt. It doesn’t really matter. But at the time, from my understanding of what I remember it was kravtsov or Lundkvist + 15OVA, but the trade was contingent on DET trading down for a top 2 pick.
No he’s not some kid on a computer in a basement. The HF betting process is a pain, I’m sure you can ask anyone whose gone thru it. He also mentioned we were locked in talks with Calgary a year ago, but those talks ultimately fizzled out as well.
Det is reportedly very high on both Lundkvist and kravtsov. They tried to make a trade to grab Lundkvist before the rangers chose him in the draft.
I will look to link the actual trade rumor thread for you. It’s tough to pinpoint cause we go through a ton of threads over there. But when I find it, I’ll gladly link it for you and you can read for yourself.
Like I said, take it with a grain of salt, because obviously the draft is over now, and no trades were made, but I’d bet NYR still has interest in Larkin/Hertl and Lindholm If the flames ever make him available.
If you take into context that Det would have taken Beniers, had a Right side of Seider/Lundkvist/Hronek plus whoever they took at 15 and a better chance in the Wright draft because if you remove Larkin, Det is def a bottom 5 team, it kind of makes sense
