Confirmed with Link: NYR/STL - Tarasenko to NYR

[bhamill]

The fact we traded Blais back to them is hilarious

At least we can sign him again in the off season!

 

[bleedblue94]

Huh? Miko is the 6th D guy who is better defensively than Braun was. That spot is filled. Honestly they just need a good bottom 6 winger at this point (Motte) and they are done.

Also on what planet do you think the rangers have the cap space now for Meier as well?

I slotted him in the wrong place and you are nuts if you think they had the blues hold half the salary for tank AND take blais for no reason. SJ would easily hold half of meier's contract for the right return. it can still be done

 

[Avery16]

Does this mean they didn't even want Hajek as a throw-in?

 

[bleedblue94]

I mean Meier is a pipe dream at this point. I don’t see any way the money works without robbing Peter to pay Paul.

But if that happened in some miracle scenario we would have 2 bonafide 1st lines the kid line, and a 3rd line

It can be done with retentions.

[Hi ImHFNYR]

We can lose in the first round or miss the PO altogether and still lose a first. Thx I hate it.

All for a past his prime 31 year old we should've drafted with the 10th pick ages ago....except we took the obvious bust.

And we have to make the deal bc we dealt away the in his prime homegrown talent on the verge of becoming a PPG player....to this same team.

And we traded back the supposed good middle 6 player we got back FOR the PPG player.

This move wasnt made in a vacuum and I despise it.
If it had been made in a vacuum I'd still hate yet another 1st going away in a trade for a 30+ player.

I dont believe this move gets us close to a cup. I'd be thrilled to be wrong. I've been saying some version of this for decades with both the NYR and NYJ. I'm over the egregious incompetence consistently on display from both teams.

Dont like me hating this trade? Too bad. Suffer with me in May. There will be Cheetos and cinnabons

Hello from Singapore!

Sammy Blais always made me think of this scene.

It’s a calculated risk. Yes the Rangers can lose in the first round. They could also have kept the pick and drafted yet another bust.

Reading this again but in Palpatine’s voice was strangely satisfying….

They did it because without the Blues covering half the salary and taking Blais the Rangers wouldn't have been able to fit Tarasenko and Mikkola. They have less than $100k in cap space right now

It's doubtful they're after Meier at this point

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

This is the case without a doubt. I still hate it.

 

[bhamill]

Like some of you, I am LOATHE to give up a 1st in this draft. HOWEVER, this is a good trade for NYR. Filled their two glaring needs, while dodging a cap issue, basically for Nils, Blais and Skinner. They still have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd and players they can move for more draft capital in Krav, Jones, and Robertson if they don’t fit NYR plans. On top of it this may well be a sum is greater than the parts move if Tank and Bread elevate each other’s games. You can hate giving up a 1st and still admit this does NOT mortgage the future while making us a more complete and much more dangerous team.
I give Drury an A on this one.
And it’s a decent trade for St Louis too. They were going nowhere.

FfffAIIILLL the REbuilllld.....dewit

Did you go outside today to yell at kids to get off your lawn?

I like kids, they're competent at what they do. (Like make up silly shit and enjoy it) They're funny as hell. Unlike the NYR. But thanks for insinuating negative shit about me as a person bc I dont like the way the NYR do stuff. Totally fair

Craig Berube on Tarasenko trade:

 

[Lion Hound]

We joked about this one earlier in the week. Basically after much of what he wrote was the prior days worth of Roster Building thread here on HF. But...It happened. They moved on from Kane and they did indeed get Tarasenko.

The last piece though was interesting. Jeannot. Did Larry and Slats have a chat? Preds scouted the Rangers game vs the Flames. Vince posted about it. I'd bet if we did enough digging the Rangers probably scouted the Preds.



But the guy I would target, ahead of any of these options, is Nashville’s 25-year-old physical winger, Tanner Jeannot, a pending restricted free agent who will come with arbitration rights off an expiring contract worth an AAV of $800,000.

The Rangers’ cap situation next season makes it extremely difficult to trade for anyone with term on his contract, but this is an exception worth making. Jeannot is tough, he can play, he is a straight-line forechecker and net-driver and he would instantly make the Rangers a more formidable playoff opponent.

Jeannot may not be readily available, but as a bottom six that has 13 points (5-8) in 48 games following a 41-point (24-17) 2021-22, there must be an affordable price for him. How about Vitali Kravtsov in a one-for-one that would represent an exchange of styles? I envision Jeannot as part of the core. I do not envision that with Kravtsov. I envision this as a worthwhile conversation.

 

[pld459666]

Do we put Tank on the RW with CK and VT?

 

[Avery16]

I'd like to see Tarasenko get minutes with Lafreniere and Chytil. Panarin needs a kick-start too though.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Do we put Tank on the RW with CK and VT?

You start him off with Panarin...

 

[pld459666]

You start him off with Panarin...

i think you have to, but if Panarin, Mika and Vesey continue to play well, the kid line continues to do what it is doing, Tank with Vinny and Chris could be wicked

 

[huerter]

Does Drury make this trade if we don't get Marnered?

 

[pld459666]

Armstrong was surprised that Drury just basically, for what ever reason, made the 4th a 3rd.

Odd

 

[Baby Punisher]

At least we can sign him again in the off season!

Hartford always needs players.

 

[Lion Hound]

Here's the injuries that kept him out of the Lineup. He was banged up in the 2019. He got the surgery done early in the season and only played 10 games. He played in the playoffs, got injured again and missed a couple of games. In 2020 he got surgery again in the off season. Post surgery he only played 24 games in the 2020/21 season.

The following season, he posted his best season to date. 75GP 34G 48A 82Pts.

Guess the surgery went well?

This year he hurt his hand in a game vs Minnesota. Blocked a shot from Dumba. He hasn't scored a point since that injury. Hopefully her gets on the board early vs the Kracken.

Vladimir Tarasenko(Right Wing)|St Louis Blues
Injury

Tarasenko will undergo surgery on his left shoulder on Tuesday and will be re-evaluated in five months.
Tarasenko left last Thursday’s game vs. Los Angels with an injury that we now know will require surgery. This is a devastating blow for the defending Stanley Cup Champions. Tarasenko has missed just 15 games over the last five years but will be out until at least late-March, effectively ending his 2019-20 campaign. The in-house replacement for Tarasenko appears to be Robert Thomas for now but with Tarasenko heading to LTIR, don’t be surprised if the Blues make a move for a winger.

From 2018 to 2019 He missed games for an "Upper Body" injury. Doesnt specify. Looks like he just played through it.

Sometimes I wonder if Brooks is the actual NYR GM
