GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread Part XXX

[ThirdEye]

Its hard to predict when we will be able to compete when we have no clue as to how the draft will go and whether any of the so called prized prospects we picked the last 2 years turn into anything. So far the draft 2 years ago has been disappointing considering we had 2 first round picks who have struggled. Sure they are young but you need picks like these to turn out to be good otherwise you are not building anything.

I mean, what were you expecting, for these two to put up 50 points at 19/20 years of age? It's not something that happens very often, especially with player selected outside the top 5. What you is see as struggling is really them slowly learning how to be effective in this league, which is a slow process.

As for last year, Kravstov, Miller and Lunkvist are all pretty safe bets to play in the NHL imo... all 3 have qualities that should transfer over nicely when they finally get here. All of the other guys are bigger question marks, but you have to think between Keane, Hajek, Reuanen, Barron and Rykov there are at least 2-3 NHL'ers in that group. And that's not including Shesterkin who's probably the highest rated goalie outside the NHL right now.

Could we be in a better position right now? Of course. But it can also be way, way worse

Nooooooooooo

HAHAHAHA can't make this up.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

HAHAHAHA can't make this up.

For real

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

HAHAHAHA can't make this up.

Dislike.

 

[Avery16]

Well, that didn’t take long

 

[Ola]

Zucc with another fantastic assist!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Or maybe not...

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Zucc picking up where he left off I see.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Think so?

I think they like the guy. He and Strome are two solid pieces to a third line.

They're okay. Depends on what they could return.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

You think the Rangers defense is bad? Watch a blackhawks games. They are so bad.

Zucc looks good so far, nice stretch pass to Faksay on Breakaway goal.

 

[EpicDing]

Can we not with the Zucc updates?

This is for trade news, I keep thinking something is happening til the tweets load.

It won't matter where we pick if we draft well. This team is too good and plays too hard to finish in the bottom three. Not to mention there is a lottery...

Been around too long to see any good luck for the Rangers. Less likely to drop if they finish low. Market is just not good enough to get great returns.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I'm thinking it's going to stay quiet until Stone is signed or dealt. After that it's going to be a mad flurry of trades.

Stupid Ottawa.

[DutchShamrock]

Smith and Shattenkirk. I would not be shocked if one gets traded.

 

[Avery16]

2018-19 stars will be known as BZ and AZ... before zucc, and anno zucc

I think McQuaid goes pretty soon. Hayes goes after Stone most likely.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Man, the Rangers could really use an emotional leader right now. I wonder if the Stars have considered moving that Mats Zuccarello-Aasen guy. Think a 2nd and a 3rd would get it done?

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Smith and Shattenkirk. I would not be shocked if one gets traded.

Smith can play the right side but is a lefty.

I said it earlier would not be shocked to see Shattenkirk traded with a little bit of retention.

Kreider is going to be your guy. They will reup him and name him captain between now and the start of next season. Zbad and Staal the As.

 

[wafflepadsave]

There goes one pick.
