Confirmed Trade: [NYR/FLA] Frank Vatrano for 2022 4th round pick

[bossram]

I think this is good for both teams?

The Rangers could use some NHL calibre depth players. And Florida is clearly freeing up cap space for a big fish at the deadline.

Giroux plays his 1000th game tomorrow...

Hmmm... interesting

... gif's dont work like they used to ;(

Only because of injuries. Marchment missed a chunk for example.

So why is he playing a regular shift in OT? I feel like such a fringe player as you described would never see the ice on 3 on 3? Was the whole team injured in OT?

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Seems like pretty cheap no?

Because you didnt watch the game I guess.

He scored the tying goal and was having an effective game (for once). So Brunette rewarded him. Sorry about your failed sarcasm though.




If you need it in video form here you go.

Good deal for the Rags.

The rangers are going for it this year.

Rangers fans:

Vatrano is a shoot first winger with a penchant for clutch goals. Can play PP 2. Has an elite shot, nothing else. Poor defensively. Think of a poor man's Mike Hoffman. You don't notice him for long stretches, but then he'll put up 5 goals in 5 games. Pure snipe ability. A solid depth player at a negligible price. Why aren't Panthers fans upset? Because our offense is already stacked and trading him means a huge trade for Florida is coming.

Panarin passing to Vatrano sounds much nicer than him passing to Dryden Hunt

Yes-that is exactly what this move means.

 

[Ryder71]

Definitely clearing the path for a bigger move. Florida and Colorado are prepping to go all in at the TDL.

As they should they're arguably the two most talented teams in the league. Definitely two of the top three or four at minimum.

Not to Dryden Hunt...

 

[Cogburn]

Seems light, just like Sturm for Jost trade. Bigger things brewing, I assume.

Good for the Rangers though.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Clearing cap space for a TDL acquisition?

Yeah, looks like Giroux is southbound.

 

[BB88]

Florida deadline cap space at 5.5M now

 

[Dread Clawz]

A 4th? That's all? Lol

He has 9 goals. He'd also be a healthy scratch in the playoffs if Panthers are healthy.

Most of us loved Frankie. But he's declined in his role for us. I'm sure he'll do great in NYR. I'll also add that her tends to take stupid offensive zone penalties

Legit contenders getting all prepared / doing some housecleaning to put themselves in a position to possibly make bigher moves. It will be very interesting to see who ends up where.

Hey, that's career high in goals this season Dryden Hunt!*



*Four goals now is his career high.

Kid can shoot

 

[BlueBaron]

Seems cheap

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Vatrano has a heck of a release. Not bad for a 4th.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

For some reason I kept thinking Carolina acquired him a while ago
Then I realized that was Vincent Trochek
