Kitchener Rangers 2023-24 Season Thread (Part 3)

Pretty much the type of D kitchener needs.

Maybe not. I read somewhere that he is an under achiever very similar to Schmidt. Fan opinion, I believe. But I, personally, still wanted him on the team for the sake of having a dyslexic duo on D. LOL!

While I’m not firm in the sell the farm camp but i must admit, when I seen Soo play Kitchener back on Dec 15th. I was in awe of this big kid flying around the ice, hitting everything that moves. He had an edge to his game and I really had never heard of him. I ended up looking him up and it was #17 Alex Kostov. 6 Ft 3 Could skate like the wind and was 17 years old. I'm sure a lot of you are happy I’m not the GM but if i knew that kid plus a pick package was available I would have been acquiring him ASAP. What a great deal for Flint IMO.

Him and Botts anchoring the 07 Groups as OA's would have been awesome.

Two Western Conference contenders trading amongst themselves wouldn't have been very likely IMO

Had Kitchener gone into the "sell" camp however...

 

[Jives]

Can’t see them going into sell mode. Guelph I can. Some nice pieces there. Really quiet today. Weird.

 

[Krangers08]

When was the last time Kitchener didn’t do anything at the deadline? Spott era?

 

[Gondrex]

Kaleb Lawrence to London.

Feels like a weird deadline day in general.

Deadline isn't until Wednesday.

Well that would explain it lol. For some reason I thought it was the 10th today....

How do people feel about Blake Smith from the Flit Firebirds? He's an '04 left shot D that is 6'4" 202, and has 8 points, is a minus 1 in 36 games this year on Flint.

The type of D we need. Shouldn’t be expensive.

Donovan McCoy would great. But I think MM is adding cheap so this guy is more likely.

What’s Oshawa doing? Buy or sell?
Luca D’Amato would work too. Not big but puts up a few points.

I think they keep him. Will have 3 solid OA next year and a big year from Ritchie

Simon Slavicek would be a great 3rd line center. Cheap import option maybe. Heard he isn’t going to be moved though. Weird as they sold Hayes and Kressler.

Beck to Saginaw done

Flint is so confusing. Bought Mancini, have another trade in the works and a boatload of picks.

Ya….not as bad as Niagara but man they are doing some weird things.

McCoy to Sudbury for Taylor. This would be close to us giving up Romano. Exactly what we needed. Mike not parting with the 2007s.

McCoy not the only PBO body going to SBY in that deal apparently

[GeoBlue]

Look! Tumbleweed!

 

[Krangers08]

Petes are building a wagon. 4 1st rounders from this draft.

Not many teams able to compete with Saggy after these trades. They are really stacking the odds. With the assets being spent the Rangers just aren't in the game.
