GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread Part XXXI

[Amazing Kreiderman]

How we didn't get in on Montour.... Idk man, wtf....

Would have sent Anderson++..

We are not in a position to trade young assets for a D-man right now.

 

[Trxjw]

I feel like we never see these things during the deadline.

Those kinds of deals usually happen over the summer.

I don't even mean something major. Just something unorthodox that shows they're willing to think outside the box a little bit.

I remember hearing someone bring this up as a possibility...

@BBKers what up?

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

May be get an update on the Hayes market at 830.

I feel like they were thinking outside of the box when they decided to rebuild when they did. Taking on bad contracts trades are generally summer moves

Think he said the unconventional thing will be a summer thing if it happens at all

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Missed that.

Still @BBKers where you at? We need the latest!

 

[LORDE]

I want to hope that the Rangers will do something out of left field that we look back on and say, "Man, that really did wonders for the rebuild" but they'll probably just deal their rentals and keep piling up as many picks and prospects as they can.

I have faith in @BBKers and am trying to be patient

Idk. I feel like the rebuild was a long time coming, and I think taking back a bad contract or two is also kind of obvious. I want to see something out of left field that nobody was expecting.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

He has the flu.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

We should be aggressive, selling our UFAs for a couple years isn’t going to be enough

 

[UlfSamuelsson]

McQuaid tomorrow for a 3rd and I’ll be happy.

Would really like a 1st for Hayes. From what I’ve read, this draft is decent and would like to grab as many players as we can in the first and second round.

I think Namestnikov has value to a team with high end talent as well. He played a complimentary role with Stamkos, he can play with the elite players in this league. The Rangers don’t have that.

I can also see Fast and Vesey going if pieces are agreeable coming back. If not now, then at the draft.

 

[nyr2k2]

I need something to happen in the next hour-and-a-half or so, or not until like after 9am tomorrow. If I wake up and read something it makes getting myself and my kids ready in the morning way difficult.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

It might’ve been a long time coming, but I don’t think it would’ve been that hard for them to keep making the playoffs for another few years. And I feel like they’ve been trying unconventional stuff and not getting it done for various reasons in regards to moving up at the draft. Maybe this is the year they pull off some sort of trade to get into the top 3/5 if they’re outside of that range

[bl02]

Man, if we could finesse an unwanted piece in, I would sell Skjei stock’s tomorrow without blinking. I do not think he will become a winning player. I’m selling.

sorry if I missed something but just logged on but what would be this piece?
Why can't he become a winning player? He was our best defenseman and maybe best player in the 2017 playoffs.
We better not be selling him unless its an obvious upgrade.

 

[Lion Hound]

Looks like Simmonds to Tampa

That's fair, but I think they knew a change was needed and that it could be done.

What I really want is for the team to buy low on another kid like they did with Zibanejad and Strome. I was hoping the team would be able to land Bennett, Domi, Galchenyuk, or Lindholm this summer as a reclamation project. Two of them went on to be impact players for their team. When I cut through the wishy-washy language, that's really what I'm looking for out of this team.

Commodore is saying Nyquist to SJ and Simmonds to Jets.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Do something crazy. Throw Pionk's name out there.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

For this complaining about the value we got for Zucc...

Look at what a very good 24 year old dman with term got. A 1st and a decent prospect.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Do something crazy. Throw Pionk's name out there.

Wonder how similar his return would be to Montour's

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Whether it be now or on the draft floor, they totally should.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Not even close.

I don’t think that thing is out of the cards, I think that sort of thing will come when we start getting some of these prospects creating a logjam. I could also be misremembering because so much was said yesterday, but I think @BBKers said something about balancing out the depth of L/R defensive prospects this summer
