GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread II

[Hunter Gathers]

Ugh. So this team is building around Torts going forward now?

I think it's more building around signing our young RFAs and not having an overpaid bum like Gaborik on the roster who lost his scoring (and before we ***** about Torts, lets realize that Torts coached him the last two years when he played well).

 

[Bluenote13]

I was told I needed therapy for even suggesting the Jackets would take Gaborik and his salary. My proposed deal was Brassard, Prospect, 1st. Essentially we got something pretty equal to that.

Good call. It was always possible, I just never thought it would get down to just Columbus and Gabs would agree to it.

Now I realize how desperate he wanted out of the Torts game.

They were building around him from the beginning. Gabby is one of the last pre-pieces to go. Who is left.

Cally
Boyle
Hank
Staal
McD
MDZ
Stepan

That's a pretty significant overhaul in three years

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

I think, first and foremost, that the Rangers are NOT going to win the cup this year. So, Sather tooling up for next season. He just dumped a ton of cap space so he can resign all of our guys.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

The thing is they accused me of trying to "dump" Gaborik on them. He's going to be solid for them, seems like a good fit for him honestly. Plus he had success with Anisimov and Prospal.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

If my memory serves me correctly, the only remaining forwards from the 8th seeded core team of two years ago are Callahan, Stepan and Boyle.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

So, lines anyone?

Callahan - Stepan - Nash
Clowe/Hags/Zucc - Richards - Clowe/Hags/Zucc
Clowe/Hags/Zucc - Brassard - ???
Powe - Boyle - Asham

 

[Richter Scale]

well, i do believe they took on a ton of salary versus what we took on...anyone wanna do the math?

Gabby - 7.5 mil (UFA 2014-15)
Delisle - 733,000 (RFA next year)
Parlett - 537,500 (RFA next year)

Total: 7.5 (with 1.25mil in farm if they don't call them up)


Brassard - 3.2 mil (RFA 2014-15)
Dorsett - 1.6mil (UFA 2015-16)
Moore - 965,00 (RFA 2014-15)

Total: ~5.8 mil.

Rangers add 1.7 mil in cap space from this deal, three solid players, and the ability to resign Clowe.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Callahan - Stepan - Nash
Clowe/Hags/Zucc - Richards - Clowe/Hags/Zucc
Clowe/Hags/Zucc - Brassard - ???
Powe - Boyle - Asham

Don't forget Pyatt, even though I'm sure you want to.

 

[RangerBoy]

Overreact much?

He is one of the guys who can't count. $7.5M for one player is too much with the Rangers current commitments and future commitments.

 

[Krams]

So, lines anyone?

Callahan - Stepan - Nash
Clowe/Hags/Zucc - Richards - Clowe/Hags/Zucc
Clowe/Hags/Zucc - Brassard - ???
Powe - Boyle - Asham

Callahan-Stepan-Nash
Hagelin-Richards-Zucc
Powe-Brassard-Clowe
Pyatt-Boyle-Asham

 

[Richter Scale]

I seriously doubt that these 3 guys will score 40 goals combined. When was the last time 3 of our bottom 6 guys scored 40 goals combined? That is my only issue here with the things you said.

I believe they can and will and am basing it off of actual performance, not a feeling of what I think they can or can not produce. But I guess we'll have to agree to disagree and wait to see what happens.

 

[highandwide]

Think Nash's health is going to set the tone to how we see these trades?

 

[vstk]

But I guess we'll have to agree to disagree and wait to see what happens.

Agreed, that is all we can do right now.

 

[NYR27]

Do we think these guys are gonna be in the lineup tonight?

 

[GAGLine]

Gabby - 7.5 mil (UFA next year)
Delisle - 733,000 (RFA next year)
Parlett - 537,500 (RFA next year)

Total: 7.5 (with 1.25mil in farm if they don't call them up)


Brassard - 3.2 mil (RFA 2014-15)
Dorsett - 1.6mil (UFA 2015-16)
Moore - 965,00 (RFA 2014-15)

Total: ~5.8 mil.

Rangers add 1.7 mil in cap space from this deal, three solid players, and the ability to resign Clowe.

Actually, we freed up more than 1.7 mil. That's 5.8 mil for 3 roster spots, as opposed to 7.5 mil for 1 roster spot. That's probably an extra 2 mil in "virtual" cap space, since we don't need to sign players to fill those other spots.

 

[NYR Viper]

So, lines anyone?

Callahan - Stepan - Nash
Clowe/Hags/Zucc - Richards - Clowe/Hags/Zucc
Clowe/Hags/Zucc - Brassard - ???
Powe - Boyle - Asham

Just taking a guess:

Hagelin-Stepan-Nash
Clowe-Richards-Callahan
Zuccarello-Brassard-Dorsett/Boyle
Pyatt-Powe-Asham

He is one of the guys who can't count. $7.5M for one player is too much with the Rangers current commitments and future commitments.

The sad part is we effectively ran out Gabby by signing Richards.

Richards is more of a black hole than Gabby

Amazing how fast the roster is going to turn over, and Richards will probably be gone one of the next two summers.

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod 25s
Not to hype things up, bc I honestly don't know the details, but I'm told Washington's trade is "fairly significant." Announcement coming

Hope its another big one

 

[Kakko]

Saddest part of all this? Another dead jersey for me

 

[NYR Viper]

Mike Harrington ‏@BNHarrington 19s
Waiting to hear more from #Sabres....White smoke alert on Stafford.....

Stafford moved as well?

 

[PBarrz]

I suppose, I'm still kind of in shock I guess :/ I had to blame something.

I'll wait and see how the team plays once the new additions start fitting in. I hope we dont look back and regret this is all.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Wonder if Brassard and Moore play tonight

 

[16 To Stanley*]

So SJ replaces Clowe with Torres?
