Cut the SJS phone lines!

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 56s
Ryane Clowe has told the Sharks he's waiving his NTC to go to the New York Rangers. Sharks need to complete deal now

 

[azrok22]

Guess I may as well cancel my plans to attend the draft in Newark now.

 

[16 To Stanley*]

And here he comes. And @ the guy w ho says our prospect cupboard is thin. You clearly don't follow our prospects. We also have a ton of geezers in the lineup

Staal - 26
MDZ - 22
Stepan - 22
Hagelin - 24
Miller - 19
Kreider - 20?
McD - 22
Stralman - 26

GEEZERS. This team has no youth.

 

[haveandare]

A player with more potential

You're not going to get a guy with absolutely no question marks and unquestionably higher potential thatn Fasth and/or Lindberg have right now in the second round of the draft.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

we are giving up 2nd/3rd rounders which is what lindberg and nieves were.

We need more talent in the farm. Nieves is still a few years away

 

[RGY]

What would you call them? Fast is injury-prone and we have no idea how Lindberg's game will translate into the NHL.

So Fasth at age 20-21 is done, close the book on him.

And Lindberg's game might not translate to the NHL? LMAO, so we might as well make that statement for every prospect out there, shall we. Stupidity.

Miller is 20

 

[Trxjw]

I assume the hold up is that they're still waiting on Chiarelli to answer his phone so they can say "You got him" and then ship him off to another team?

And each year they get older and older

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Just because we don't have picks in this draft doesn't mean anything awful about our future, considering this team is so young and it's ONE DRAFT it's not a big deal at all.

...However, I want no part of Clowe.

 

[Whiplash27]

Oh boy

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Like the Clowe move. Need 1 more glue guy. Glencross please.

Clowe-Boyle-Cally as 3rd line. Put Glencross on 4th line. Have Hags go back up on the 1st line with Step and Nash.

Move Kreider back to AHL because our coach has no idea how to properly use him.

 

[RangerBoy]

Hearing the deal is for two second round picks. Trying to confirm.

[Thirty One]

Miller is 20

****, we're hooped.

Who said to close the book on him? Fast is a gamble. He's far from a sure-thing. Same with Lindberg.

 

[Bluenote13]

How many teams have "elite" talent in the pipelines

Some, but the ones that don't at least have elite talent graduating at the Pro level. We are thin on both sides of that fence.

Fast and Lindberg are unknowns?

No, but they are unproven at the NHL level.


All of a sudden we're in a win now mode, which absolutely means no need for pesky draft picks and prospects....

Please, no. Why would you give up two 2nds for a rental?

what?

why are we splitting the Cally, Nash, Step line already?

 

[The Beezer]

This team has been throwing in the towel all season. Rentals are not going to put this team back in to Cup discussion.

As long as they have Hank, they are in the discussion.

 

[NY Lito]

Ugh, excuse me?

Have you watched him play recently? This season or last?

Glencross could slide into our top-6. Probably would, as a matter of fact. At worst he'd be on the 3rd line.

 

[ecemleafs]

Who said to close the book on him? Fast is a gamble. He's far from a sure-thing. Same with Lindberg.

and your original point was we were giving up 2nd rounders/3rd rounders. are those not far from sure things? at least the players we've mentioned have progressed since being drafted and look more like NHLers than the day they were drafted.

 

[RGY]

We need more talent in the farm. Nieves is still a few years away

And what about Christian Thomas? Or how about Fogarty and MSC? And that's Michael St. Croix just so you know because I'm not sure if you do. MSC is dominating the WHL. But I guess we should disregard him because 'his game might not translate to the NHL.'

And given the rangers continually have made the playoffs, its kinda hard to get a top 5 pick and draft a Taylor Hall. I mean given how the system gives the higher picks to the teams in the bottom of the standings. Just sayin..

 

[a tribe cq]

Please, no. Why would you give up two 2nds for a rental?

I think it's a 2nd and 3rd and then a conditional 2nd dependent on Clowe resigning.

 

[Richter Scale]

Nick Kypreos @RealKyper
Clowe becomes #Rangers rental as of now but assumption is a new deal will eventually get done and #Sharks will get add'l pick #TradeTracker

Now THIS scares the living bejesus out of me.

Does that mean a new deal with the RANGERS (as in, in addition to the Clowe deal)? Or some other team? Or neither, and Kyper just doesn't know how to write coherently?

If that means D. Boyle, I'm gonna flip. Glen needs to put down the phone if that is even crossing his mind.

Edit: Nevermind, I can't read... brain fart. He's referencing the condt'l pick.
