Proposal: Fun Trade - NYR, NJD, NSH, FLA

[Heckler81]

I know the Rangers will never make a big trade with the Devils. How is this trade?

NYR trade:

Zibby

NJ trade:

#7
#18
#19

Devils get a number 1C, Hughes can focus on being a 2C. 3C or winger Hischier

NYR trade:

#7

NSH trade:

#11
#37
#70

NSH trades up for a big time winger. There is a big drop off in talent comparing 7 to 11. Rangers trade back because no C prospect might be available. Perfetti is the best bet but no guarantee.

NYR trade:

#18
#37

FLA trade:

#12
#91

In the end, the Rangers have

#11
#12

In this group, they draft 2 out of Lundell, Sanderson, Zary, Lapierre

#19

In this group, draft Guhle, Mercer, Jarvis

#23

In this group, draft Khusnutdinov, Perreault


The Rangers lack Top Centers (yes I know, they get worse by trading Zibby who’s a center.

They have future centers who can pan out

#11 - Lundell - C
#12 - Zary - C
#19 - Guhle - LD which is also a need
#23 - Khusnutdinov - C

Three Centers in the first round can help their biggest weakness in the long run.

Rangers aren’t trading Zibby for the 11th and 12th overall picks.

 

[Perennial]

Zibanejad only has 2 years left until UFA...

I can't see the Devils being remotely interested in moving the 7th pick for him

 

[Heckler81]

Rangers aren’t trading Zibby for the 11th and 12th overall picks.

Did you actually read it?

He was traded for 3 firsts

 

[780il]

Really stupid for the Rangers to trade their 1C for magic beans especially when they already need a 2c even with Zibby in the fold.

 

[Doriva]

Is it April 1st ?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Oh sorry, they got the 19th pick as well? Yeah, they still don’t make that deal.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Especially when you consider they are getting Lafreniere. Adding him to a group with Zibby, Panarin, Kakko, etc. Yeah, it makes no sense to trade your stud number one centre right now.

wait

so the Devils trade THREE top 20 1st round picks for Mika Zibanejad, then have to pay him big $$ In a year when they already have their top 2 centers of the future?

Makes no sense for either team. Rangers don't need more magic beans. Mika has two more years on his deal and he is a 1c. They have the 1OA and what should be a decent pick at around 22/23. Devils feel they have their two young centers.

 

[TGWL]

These aren't fun for NYR.

I don't get why NYR trades a center for a few 1st round picks, and then trades down their best 1st from the trade because no centers are available. I mean, maybe just keep the center in Zibanejad? But I guess it gets better, because we find a way to trade back up. This reminds me of playing NHL GM mode where you just keep trading pieces until you get what you want.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

FLA is either gonna draft 12th or trade it for help on C/D.

 

[Stuzchuk]

THIS!

 

[Mrfenn92]

Both teams say no

 

[SlapshotTheMovie]

Counter offer that makes just as much sense. Rangers trade you marc staal and brendon smith. We get Hughes and your next 30 1st round picks no protection. Sounds just as logical to me as whatever garbage was in that OP.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

None of that is fun for the Rangers.

 

[blinkman360]

It’s not fun. It’s not funny.

 

[SML2]

Really stupid for the Rangers to trade their 1C for magic beans especially when they already need a 2c even with Zibby in the fold.

I don't understand why people keep saying we need a 2C. Strome was 21st in points for C's last season. He had 59 points. Tavares had 60. Barzal had 60. If they let him go, it will be a Stralman level mistake. We can probably get him to stay on a 5x5 without any movement clauses.

 

[RempireStateBuilding]

This isn't fun.

 

[devils29]

How is everyone saying the rangers don’t do this when the devils have to give up THREE top 20 1sts for Zibinjad who only has 2 years left. Like wtf how drunk are you

Because we don’t want to trade Zibanejad to our biggest rival for futures when we are exiting a rebuild. It’s bad for both teams.

Dude I believe me I get that. But when have we ever seen anyone ever get traded for 3 firsts lmfao
