July 1st - Free Agent Extravaganza Part III

I really hope these rumors are just Rumors. Giving up all these assets for one player for 2 years is just terrible decision making. Not only would we be losing staal we wouldn't be getting a D back. If The trade happens San Jose will have fleeced the rangers on a Mcdonagh level.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Exactly This^



That's hilarious the way that worked out, SSH!

I was thinking the same thing

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

So he pk'd on a pk that was top five in the league.and ur not sold? OooK then

How much time did he pk each game? I don't know the number, I'm busy visiting my mom in the hospital and I sure as **** don't need smart ass answers from you

Yeah no, Staal isn't even close to McD level. I also hope the rumours are true because if the trade happens and we win the cup in one of those two years than I don't care what we gave up

Are you really comparing Gomez to Thorton ???

 

[KOVALEV022473]

The hardest thing for me to understand, is the mindset of some to forego top elite vets to help us win now, in the name of youth? Correct me if I'm wrong, but, isn't the goal to win the Cup?

We did it in '94

You're making an awful lot of sense today. Not to say that you don't any other time. LOL

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Has anyone heard anything else regarding Thorton to the Rangers? NHL Rumors is usually right about 65% of the time.

Meh I'm Thornton fan and we really need a #1 center

 

[KOVALEV022473]

We did it in '94

And we have to do it again! The Rangers DON'T TANK!

Giving up Staal a 27 yo top 2 dman on most teams, Macilrath a Giant tough defenseman, Jt miller a Potential 3rd line center who will get better and other assets for a slow 30+ year old who has played with the same talented guys for years will not be the same.

First of all its Staal OR McIlrath and miller wasn't included in the talk AT ALL

Where did you see Miller listed? The quote I posted had Fast in the deal.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

That guy on nhl rumors is saying Thornton waived his NMC clause to come here

No, it's Staal/Fast and either McIlrath OR picks.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Yessss please be accurate

 

[KOVALEV022473]

That guy on nhl rumors is saying Thornton waived his NMC clause to come here

This is gonna happen! I'm psyched!!!!

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

No, it's Staal/Fast and either McIlrath OR picks.

Ohhh still, no Miller in any talks is huge

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

That guy is saying if Thornton falls through Rangers will turn their attention to Carolina for Eric Staal with Talbot included, yeah I'm not sure if he's reliable

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

I'd rather give up picks instead of McI

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Everybody can rest, he said if San Jose doesn't pull the trigger by Friday they're going after Staal

Bad fourth line, bad defensive depth, no cap space, no NHL ready prospect depth. LET'S ROLL.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I'd be seriously worried about the defense if we move Staal. John Moore on the 2nd pairing is a sickening thought. Moore-Boyle would just be a nightmare.
