Friedman: NYR have shown interest in DAL Alexander Radulov

[Satan]

The Rangers have shown interest in Dallas’s Alexander Radulov. As a Dallas fan, I don't think it would take much to get Radulov at this point.

Hasn't he been absolute garbage this year?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

3rd round pick? Hasnt he been pretty terrible this season?

Which way is that pick going? Moving that cap hit allows Dallas to make other moves. That cap space is likely worth more than Radulov at this point.

 

[Trxjw]

Drury seems to be looking at really cheap options to bolster the 3rd line. Radulov and Kessel both fit that mold.

As long as the cost is low, we could do much worse. No need to be chasing the big names on the market when we're basically just a great power play team riding an elite goaltender at this point in the rebuild.

Save the big pieces for a legitimate 2C or LHD upgrade like Chychrun.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Would Dallas move Radulov without having another move in the pipe? I get that he's been bad, but is there benefit to moving him for a 5th rounder if they aren't going to spend that salary elsewhere? Or would the added roster flexibility be sufficient?

Rangers have the cap space to take a cap dump. Maybe Dallas give them a mid round pick and they can then trade for someone else.

I'd deal Gauthier the other way and give Radulov a shot with Panarin. Can't hurt to try with all the room for UFAs

 

[Magic Mittens]

He hasn’t really been bad, he’s just been stuck playing on the 3rd/4th line with weaker linemates. Bowness is a terrible coach and needs to get out of Dallas asap

He’d be a great add for a playoff team. Probably won’t cost much

 

[TootooTrain]

Prior to the Vatrano add? Dallas is in a tough spot if they want a trading partner for any of their big 3. Aside from maybe Seguin, none of them have lived up to expectations.

 

[Mickey Marner]

The Rangers need a center more than they need a winger. They have the cap space though, so might as well use it.

If that’s the case, I think this a good move for us. I remember how solid he was for the cup run, maybe he can bring some juice with Panarin.

Yeah I think he’d be a good fit with Panarin. He’s always been good in the playoffs and works his ass off

 

[Satan]

I'd be alright with Julien Gauthier <> Alex Radulov. I think Dallas has to retain salary though.

Radulov's been dog shit this season but I feel like he would show up in the playoffs.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Is the cap projected to move at all?

 

[Calad]

I'd be alright with Julien Gauthier <> Alex Radulov. I think Dallas has to retain salary though.

Radulov's been dog shit this season but I feel like he would show up in the playoffs.

Rangers have 29million in deadline cap space for this season (this season only!!) so retention would not be necessary

Yikes, didnt realize his cap hit.

 

[smoneil]

If they make a trade for Radulov, that would indicate that they might not expect Kakko back anytime soon.

lmao holy crap, well in that case take all of him

 

[cheech70]

No brainer...give GG some ammo of a different caliber...low cost....when he was good with that size it could be good....plus he needs to showcase his worth

 

[Lays]

I'd be alright with Julien Gauthier <> Alex Radulov. I think Dallas has to retain salary though.

Radulov's been dog shit this season but I feel like he would show up in the playoffs.

NYR have over 30 million available this deadline. Makes sense for us to take a risk on Radulov especially if it’s free or they pay us to take his cap so they can free up room to make a move

 

[Dr Pepper]

Jim Nill getting anything of value for a pending UFA would be welcome in the eyes of this Stars fan.

Now go do the same with Klingberg and Holtby.

Nobody wants their GM to cling to an expiring contract in hopes of some playoff magic, only to fail completely and lose these players for nothing. If other teams like the Rangers come knocking, I think it's only fair to jump at that best offer.

 

[duhmetreE]

Calm down Satan

 

[Deen]

Panarin and Fox would probably turn him in to a 40 goal scorer.

 

[Eggtimer]

Makes sense the Rangers adding but yet not spending huge assets. They are good but not elite true contenders yet. They will or should be soon but for now it’s smart to not overpay on rentals. I could however see them going big after a Chychrun type deal though if its a deal for a player with term left.
