GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread Part XXX

[Dijock94]

I don’t want Stanley at all. How many LHD prospects can we really have?

 

[BBKers]

Andersson?

They have the best offer on the table right now I am told. But I know not what it is other than a young defenseman and a 1st. No details. We are snagging a lot of assets. And it is not over yet. JG is a very smart man I must admit. The future looks very promising if the scouts do due diligence

 

[DanielBrassard]

Stanley is a magical first round pick.

Hajek 5 points in 60 games? He's young, HFD is bad.
Stanley 10 points in 60 games? OmG hE sO bAD

Or most likely they are both not good. Of course they are young, but such paltry offensive totals are not encouraging.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Ok but can we get something better than Stanley. He stinks and has no spot in this organization. Hed prob be our 5th best left handed dman prospect

He's 20 and massive.

Yes history says that he probably flames out or hangs around as a 3rd pair/extra but sometimes these guys hit and become top 4 or even top pairing guys.

For a rental player, that isn't a bad gamble if he comes along with a 1st.

From the hockeywriters.com site

Stanley’s footspeed, and in particular his ability to turn in a hurry, were concerns through much of his junior career.

Sound familiar? Like I said he’s a lefty mcilrath

How fast is he compared to Chara

 

[Kovalev27]

I hope Hayes goes to calgary to play with gaudreau. He deserves it. Hope he stays there too

I dunno, I think Stanley and a first is better than the Stastny deal last year.

Would I take someone over Stanley? Sure, br I don’t know if they’re on the table.

The biggest challenge I see right now is that people are blinking back the dreams of Tolvanen and others like him that they allowed to creep into their thoughts yesterday.

And they tag a conditional pick on the trade

 

[Trxjw]

I'm not a big Stanley fan, but Hayes is a rental player so you take what you can get.

That being said, the "Omg another LHD? Gorton is so dumb!" stuff is nonsense. Until this team has 3 competent LHD on the roster they can, and should add as many LD prospects as they can get.

 

[egelband]

Knowing nothing about Stanley, I’d still say it appears he doesn’t fit the mold of a modern puck lugging defenseman. I think the Rangers prefer a defenseman who can create transition rather than one who is better in his own end. Not saying the guy is bad. Just that he might not be a fit style-wise.

Young defenseman is great. CGY is loaded. Valimaki, Andersson, Kylington... prefer them in that order

 

[Edge]

That’s kind of how I feel, Stanley and a first would be a 4.5/10 return for me (10 would be something insanely lopsided in the Rangers favor)

I’d give it about a 6 or 7.

I think Stanley is better than he’s getting credit for.

Not great, and not without risk and downside, but not without upside either.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Ok but there are so many other areas in our prospect pool we need addressing. Left-handed dmen are the one area we have a bunch of

I don’t mean to say he’s terrible, I just personally don’t like him all that much. I wouldn’t mind the deal, but I wouldn’t be wading around these boards for 90 minutes telling everyone that hates that deal how wrong they are

 

[duhmetreE]

If Jets are offering Stanley and a 1st... BBK said Calgary has the best offer... Valimaki/Andersson and a 1st..

Bidding war?

 

[Trxjw]

If it's a 1st and a D prospect for Hayes from Calgary, I seriously doubt it's Kylington, Andersson, or Valimaki. That would be robbery from Gorton unless Hayes is signing an extension.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

If Hayes goes to Calgary I'd be happy with Andersson, #1 and a conditional #2 in 2020 if he resigns (3rd if he doesn't). Bit of a step down from the Duchane trade.

I agree that Tolvanen and players of that caliber are highly unrealistic. But theres gotta be prospects in other areas we can get instead for Hayes. We have too many lefthanded dmen prospects as it is so why bring in another one who seems questionable

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Stone?

We will need reliable partners for Pionk and ADA. It can't be Staal forever.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

I will say since the Rangers are apparently into Logan Stanley, maybe they’re trying to create a blue line of gigantic lefties and slightly undersized righties

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Step DOWN?

Thats a massive step up from the Duchene trade. Andersson is a beast.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

That might be expecting too much

Or as they call it...
