Speculation: Libor Hajek

[Lays]

Rangers have sent down Kravtsov temporarily to avoid losing Hajek on waivers. Any 1 for 1 swaps for a similar level player out there? Position doesn’t really matter but preferably for a forward. He is pretty bad but apparently NYR thinks they can get something for him

Willing to accept a box of Little Debbie Nutty Bars and a slightly used 8Track setup, with the Bee Gees album set for this bum.

Clearly the Rangers brass don't think of Hajek as a "bum". That's what matters here lol.

I remember when my fellow Ranger fans relished making Neil Pionk their whipping boy. The current one is Libor Hajek. The Rangers do have quite a few D in their system to make Hajek expendable, but there is a reasonable chance this kid turns into a regular contributor for an NHL franchise.

Personally, I’d trade Christian Fischer for him. Not sure most Yotes fans would agree.

How about a pack of slightly used big league chew?

He has the physical skills and all, something just hasn't quite seemed to click for him yet. Could be that it happens with a change of scenery but he has graded out pretty poorly with the playing time he's gotten on the rangers
considering all the guys he's behind now probably better to move on

pretty sure NYR either waives Hajek soon or trades him for a guy who just cleared waivers

likely a F

I think that some are reading more into then they should

Fischer is a forward. He hasn’t cleared waivers. But he might. Or you could keep him.

We have 0 need for Fischer but deal.

Problem is Rangers really don't have any openings on D or up front, so the best-case scenario would either be to trade him for a pick or for a young guy who could contribute to NHL depth in a few years.

Tinordi has been the extra and Jones would likely be first call-up. Hajek has fallen down the depth chart quite a bit.

The McDonagh trade still gives me joy.

He hasn't been what the organization had hoped for, but has he played much worse than K'Andre Miller?

I remember thinking how NYR had to wiggle Pionk into the Trouba trade over Hajek.

So happy it helped TB knock out the Isles twice AND blocked TML from getting him. A true win win indeed.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

What about Libor Hajek for Sam Steel?

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

The McDonagh trade still gives me joy.

It was terrible at the time and we all knew it. I legit thought we would get Sergachev when we traded McDonagh and Miller.

It's one of the main reasons I don't miss Jeff Gorton. Just a horrendous and rushed trade.

 

[bigdog16]

Id be pretty ecstatic with anything more of than a 7th rounder for Hajek

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

The McDonagh trade still gives me joy.

It was karma for how we traded Scott f***ing Gomez for him in the first place lol.

Every team that trades him badly lose the trade, he's such a great player, we should've gotten more for him.

We picked Lundkvist with the pick we got back, we'll see how it plays out but Tampa robbed us blind (so far).

 

[ThankGord]

I'd be interested in the Wings taking a chance on him and we could afford to trade a depth forward. Might enjoy playing with Hronek, Zadina, and Vrana.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

I think a 4th round pick would be sufficient tbh

 

[Lays]

What about Libor Hajek for Sam Steel?

Deal but Steel would be a 13th forward for us

How about Givani Smith 1 for 1

And this is a surprise? When I saw Hajek two years ago in the NHL... you could tell he wasn't ready and I had no idea why the Rangers kept him in the lineup. Same last season - wasn't good. Either his development was ruined or he's a terrible player (a bit of both).

Confirmed Trade: - [LAK/NYR] Lias Andersson for 60th overall
