Confirmed Trade: [NYR/FLA] Dylan McIlrath for Steven Kampfer and conditional 7th

[covfefe]

I'm wrong because the Rangers traded McIlrath? Fowler is still crap.

Who were some of the players you liked ahead of McIlrath at the time of the draft?

 

[RiceCooker]

As a Ranger fan who also roots for the Panthers, I wish him well in Florida.

 

[haveandare]

He and Yandle were a great pair in NY. Florida should try them together, they have some crazy mojo.

AV totally failed McI as a prospect imo. He still has a real chance to be a good long term player in this league.

 

[CodeE]

There has to be something more to this. If it was simply about the Rangers being disappointed in his development, why not just keep him in the minors for the season? He costs practically nothing and can serve as an injury call-up if needed.

Somebody wanted McIlrath out of the organization ASAP.

Yeah once he cleared waivers, why not keep him there and give him lots of minutes in the AHL to see if it makes him better. If it does, call him up. If not, re-visit it next season.

Odd.

Wasn't he like 15th ranked by CSS?

this is such ********

 

[Filthy Dangles]

It's almost like you just look at a players SA percentage without any context and make the determination as to whose better solely off of which number is greater.

Anyway crap for crap and crap pick. Great. I'm sure This trade will be talked about for years to come. I

 

[Static]

I said I didn't regret not taking Fowler. I still don't. I still don't think he's a good player and I still have no interest in him being on the Rangers.

This amount of stubbornness runs contrary to intelligence.

 

[Static]

this is such ********

I don't know why anyone argues. He has too much pride to admit he's wrong.

 

[strictlyrandy]

Didn't Bernmeister argue up and down that this guy was nearly untouchable?

 

[Machinehead]

I don't know why anyone argues. He has too much pride to admit he's wrong.

What am I wrong about?

Having McIlrath on your team comes with absolutely no risk. If he sucks, he gets waived.

Having Fowler on your team is commitment. It's dollars. It's minutes. It's Girardi and Staal all over again.

Ducks fans from the beginning have been making this all about McIlrath. My distaste for Fowler never had anything to do with McIlrath. It's in the numbers.

 

[Baemon Severson*]

Good times when some Rangers fans hyped him up last year off a 10 game sample. Next Shea Weber!

I dont think any *sane* Rangers fan said this.

exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

And the Yandle comment wasn't hyperbole. Yandle and McIlrath had 20 games together last year where they had the highest rel CF% of any pair in the NHL. It's a small sample but it's a pair that Florida would be wise to try.

Another bit of evidence that analytics are the Emperor's New Clothes when trying to appreciate players rather than teams.

Lol....well you know...better players DO often make more dollars. And minutes. You are looking foolish.

NYR would LOVE to have Fowler for free. And that's what Wrath was just worth. Oh...plus the possible 7th.

I don't think ANY Rangers fan said Weber. This thread is the first time I'm hearing the Weber comparison.

I was going to say that, but I didn't want to get swarmed in the off chance my man Roo dug up a single instance where someone did.

Never said he was a future top pairing D

Someone has posted in this thread of you saying you thought he would be a #2 and his closest comparable is Weber...

Have you ever thought there's a reason Fowlers value is a 1st + while Mcilrath was just traded for an AHL player because he couldn't crack the NHL?

Or do you still think he's a better player than Fowler?

Actually, based on that link, he said his ceiling would be a #2. Do people really not understand the concept of a "floor" and a "ceiling"?
