Speculation: NY Rangers interested in JJ Peterka?

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

or to make a deal now and not in the summer.

Adams is desperate

A rushed trade on Peterka would be beyond foolish but who knows what Adams's thinking? Probably just elevator music at this rate lol

 

[Beerz]

It's probably a leak from Buffalo's side to get more value out of NYR or elsewhere

Could be.. Lance started the rumor and he really doesn't do this sort of thing.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Really want him on Ottawa.

Batherson has one of the best bargain contracts in the league. If Peterka wants out and/or Buffalo's owner wants to save dollars vs JJ's next deal - Batherson is a sensible return IMO.

If JJ doesn't want out, and/or the owner isn't being cheap - then Buffalo should just pay JJ though.

 

[NYVanfan]

I don’t see why Buffalo would trade him. But just for fun, if they were, what would be the ask?

 

[lakeshirts37]

Im willing to believe Staple over them all as hes seriously plugged into the NY Hockey scene

But the fact that its randomly come up must mean theres some sort of smoke.. right? I mean the kid just scored tonight lol so hes still playing the night before the deadline

Staple doesnt know shit lol

Why is Buffalo doing this?

Buffalo is a pathetic organization that doesnt do anything right - they either dont want to pay up or Peterka wants out

Samuelsson playing with Fox would be a disaster.

Getting Samuelsson away from Wilford's "coaching" might do a lot for him. He knows Peca from their time in Rochester, might be someone who thinks Sammy can get back to what he once projected as rather than the husk he's been this year.

I would have no interest in Batherson

 

[Raspewtin]

People in here saying Schneider but wouldn't Buffalo go after Miller more?

They have Power and Dahlin on the left. Would be an odd fit.

Staple is a lot more credible than Lavoie

Staple has credibility with the Isles.

has jack shit source wise in the Rangers org

 

[57special]

No clue what the Rangers could offer that Adams would be interested in.

Which means the trade is a sure thing?

 

[Hockeyplayer99]

I would trade laf before I traded Cuyle. He a must combing into to his own as a power forward something Rangers lack. We don’t want to get softer than we already are. Laf will never be a point a game player here

 

[Alluckks]

Schneider + Bedard/Othmann/Sykora and some pick swap is my guess

 

[wunderpanda]

k'andre is rfa with arbitration. schnieder has another year at $1.6m less than miller makes now and probably half as much as miller or byram would get as a qualifying offer or in arbitration this summer.

You'd be absolutely insane to not trade Cuylle for Peterka.

They are different players that play a completely different game. Cuylle does a lot of things that Peterka doesnt.

Im not saying they are the same value but Cuylle is a lot more valuable to the Rangers than what he would get in a trade. A big 2 way forward that plays a strong defensive game and hits like a train.

Which is why Cuylle would be the ask ..not Laf

Which is fine but it wont happen as the Rangers want to get more physical and tougher. Trading Cuylle goes against that.

I would wait until the summer to make this trade and see what can be done. Free agency could have a massive impact on who Rangers are willing to part with.

If the Rangers want to get more physical and tougher, why are the reports that they are interested in German Fiala?

You dont need to have all 12 forwards to be tough to build a successful team.

 

[ottawagm]

We should be open to moving Yakemchuk in a deal for Peterka.

Maybe include Forsberg for Reimer to get some cap space for the deadline.

 

[NYRKing]

This thread is such a tease. Hate it.

If Drury no like KAM, I could see that as a base for something.

Cuylle is the Drury prototype. No way he gets moved.

And no way is Peterka being dealt for KAM

 

[NYRKing]

I agree. I don’t see a path unless Adams completely unravels.

not a chance

Staple isn’t plugged into the Rangers one bit. Like literally at all.

 

[Epic Neal Time]

I think Rantanen/Marchand/Boeser are going to clog up the market for Rakell too much, unless he truly is someone's preferred option. If they end up staying put, maybe we can take someone to the cleaner in the waning minutes.

 

[Fatass]

Makes no sense trading JJP. Sabres need to change the culture of the core. Tinkering with their supporting cast isn’t going to make the difference needed.
