I love the ‘chances are the Rangers won’t get a player as good as Hayes at 23-31’ ignoring that Hayes was drafted in the same range.

Yeah, but THE TEAM THAT DRAFTED HIM DIDN'T GET HIM. CHECKMATE.​

Yes the Rangers should be thinking about the future. But also:

-Don't trade Hayes
-Don't trade Zuccarello
-Don't trade Kreider
-Sign Panarin

The man can't type three words without contradicting himself.

 

[JayMan82]

Okay, @Machinehead has convinced me that trading for WN makes no sense, so I'm off that kick.

Brooks is subhuman.

Brooks has had the bug up his ass concerning Hayes for a year, this was inevitable.

But the standout items for me were:

Listen, we’re not talking about Jean Ratelle here. Nor Walter Tkaczuk. Objectively, if Kevin Hayes is your second-best player (behind Mika Zibanejad), you’re probably not contending for a championship.

And

When the Rangers checked in a couple of weeks ago, the number may have been as high as seven years at $7M per.

Speaking only for myself, I am still not comfortable going 7x7, or even 7x5, including a NMC, for Hayes.

The terms of the deal have always made me feel uneasy. They'd make feel uneasy if the Rangers decided to resign Hayes this offseason --- thus having their cake and eating it too.

Larry just kind of brushes past the whole dollars and terms aspect of this story because it doesn't really fit with the narrative he's wanted to portray. And frankly, the more time most people have to think about the dollars and terms, the more likely a feeling of uneasiness is likely to grow.

I don't see a serious plan for getting better in what some are saying.

The team with Hayes and Zuccarello isn't any good, but committing $3-5 million more in cap space to older versions of those players? Exciting thought.

Building a really good team takes some luck. They should be doing everything they can to increase their exposure to luck. You don't have the picks, you're reducing that.

Dreger says the Rangers are already getting calls about Lemieux and that McQuaid as well as Claesson look like they'll be moved.

 

[RangerBoy]

 

[EpicDing]

Wonder if there's anything else coming besides McQuaid

 

[duhmetreE]

Speaks out of both sides of his mouth to just fill the article with words

 

[Edge]

I've always kind of laughed at what @jas said as well.

It's another one of those aspects that some people skip right past and it feels glaring.

 

[Winston2018]

What is the better deal for Nashville

Fabbro,Tolaveen and a 1st for Krieder
Fabbro Tolaveen and a 1st for unsigned Stone

 

[SA16]

Is it possible McQuaid hasn't been dealt yet because he's bad and nobody wants him?

 

[ThirdEye]

Would anyone be surprised if Hayes regressed next year back to his old 40-50 point self? I wouldn't. Also, scoring has been up for just about everyone this season

He's been good but also playing for a contract... there is a decent amount of risk involved in signing him long term.

 

[Thirty One]

When they chose to move Vesey up to Zuccarello's spot over Buchnevich, it made me wonder if there was a team asking about Vesey.

 

[JayMan82]

Not surprised, too many teams not getting consistent enough goaltending year in and out (like the NFL and good quarterbacks).

 

[Ghost of jas]

Okay, @Machinehead has convinced me that trading for WN makes no sense, so I'm off that kick.

Actually, Nylander would make sense from the Brassard for Zibanejad vein. I’d just rather re-sign him to a six-year, $42 million deal.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I kind of wondered if he would be willing to waive it after I saw that video of him really choked up about Zucc.

 

[RangerBoy]

Mika is retweeting this



He is really bummed out.

It doesn’t appear here.

If you follow Zibanejad, you will see it.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

That SELFISH SWEDE!!

I kid I kid. Lundqvist is allowed to do whatever the hell he wants.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

No teams values his grit and stuff

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

tolaveen?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Maybe Claesson or Namestnikov but I doubt it. So probably not, but maybe we'll get a nice surprise.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Someone needs to make him cry again.

 

[howztheglass]

Hearing at least one team recently approached the Rangers about Lundqvist, but were told he's still not willing to waive no-move.

From Dave Pag

Thinking maybe Calgary. Guess Hank really does want to stay.
