Confirmed with Link: NYR/STL - Tarasenko to NYR

[Leonardo87]

Meier was likely too rich, but this is still a big trade.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Kravtsov survives.

He'll be dealt for something else soon enough.

 

[hi]

NHL trades are so dumb. Is there some 90 year old guy in the league office morse coding only one piece of a trade every 10 minutes to the "insiders"

 

[bl02]

If Mikkola can just be competent this is a decent trade.

 

[RangerBoy]

 

[17futurecap]

At least the prospect is Hunter Skinner who is a nothing.

Very on brand for the Rangers.

But 6'4 210, he could be this year's tinordi

 

[Mike in Houston]

Blais and Skinner going is fine.

The first is not. Would have been ok if it was a 2nd with a condition of turning into a first had we made the Finals or something.

Cheer up buttercup.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Skinner? That's it? Love it

 

[mas0764]

From what I've seen it's a normal draft after about pick 20, so it's whatever. They were never keeping both.

I've heard the opposite, that this draft is great into the 40s or 50s.

 

[bl02]

Kravtsov survives.

He'll be dealt for something else soon enough.

would have preferred him instead of the first going but on other hand don't think I could handle him becoming a ppg after Buch has become one there.

 

[duhmetreE]

Defensive rock.

Black hole offensively.

Exactly what we need on the third pair.

Sounds like Lindgren

Very on brand for the Rangers.

Show me the on ice save percentage before we blindly judge players with a flawed model

 

[DanielBrassard]

Hunter Skinner is the prospect. KRAVTSOV SURVIVES.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Meier was likely too rich, but this is still a big trade.

Meier will be traded to a team who can't afford him and will sign elsewhere in the offseason IMO

 

[QJL]

For those complaining about Tarasenko’s 10 goals, Kakko has 9.

Tarasenko is quite a well rounded player and is good in all 3 zones, just like Kakko

I would trade a 2023 1st, Blais, Skinner for 1 year of Kakko and Mikkola.

 

[Ruggs225]

Things can go wrong. Very wrong. I hate giving up an unprotected first in a following year. At least this year we kinda' don't expect a top 10 pick.

We arent getting a top 20 pick. Maybe not even top 25.

Dallas is one of the best teams in the west. We are one of the best teams in the east.

 

[mrmovies779]

Mikkola is a nice upgrade over Harpur.I am fine with this

 

[will1066]

If this gets Panarin to stop playing like shit I'm fine with it.

Tank will be useless if pucks passed towards him get intercepted. Let's hope.

 

[mas0764]

I like it way less.

why?

 

[SA16]

So we traded for a friend for Kakko?

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Tank + Mikkola for Blais + Skinner + First + 4th?

 

[bl02]

anyone watch Mikkola at all this year? Please tell me he is at least competent?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Mikkola if nothing else has excellent PK numbers IIRC.

Or he did. I have no idea.

 

[Lion Hound]

Mikkola is currently playing LD on the 3rd pairing with Calle Rosen on the Blues.

He gets 16 Mins of icetime. He averages just under two hits per game. Blocked 68 shots this season. Little over 1 shot per game.
