Speculation: Offseason Thread XVII: Trade a spade for a jade

[frozenrubber]

I don't know that I'd want to trade Pirri. If he plays a full season as a middle six winger, why should we want to trade him? He's only 25 and he has an excellent shot. Besides PMD's, the second biggest need for the Rangers is probably snipers. Thats what Pirri is. A pure goal scorer with a really good shot.

Good, I guess....as no one would want him. How quickly a new UFA has this charm, when he was traded for a 6th rounder at the deadline last year.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

If you're basing it off of that; Rick Nash is a season removed of 50 goals. But yeah you're both right lets keep the guy who sucks at every facet of hockey besides shooting the puck

And yeah agree with the guy who wants to keep Lundqvist unprotected as well. Do better.

Knucklepuck?

He's a gong show in his own end and most of his production has come off of playing on the PP with great players.

He had like 9 points at ES last season and has never been a good point producer at ES.

i thought it was 8 es points...literally worse than every rangers defenseman not named mcilrath...who played less than half as many games as Fowler.

 

[Kovalev27]

He was traded for a 6th because he was injured and arbitration eligible. Come on now most here wanted him then, I'm glad we got him now.

This is a forum for discussion about the team. Do you just want definitive statements? I don't know why you are holding people to the ideas they suggest.

No one has said definitely protect Pirri instead of Nahs.

Are there any rhd that are completely off the radar that we could land? Yandle was a surprise to nearly everyone. Maybe we do something like that again? Thought on potential players?

That's kinda how I feel about Ellis in Nashville. In terms of expansion if they want to protect all 4 of their solid D-man they're gonna lose one of their decent fowards since they'd have to opt for the 8 players 1 goalie option. Other option is they do the 7 fowards 3 d-man and undoubtedly lose Ekholm or Ellis for nothing.

 

[Kovalev27]

Gorton isn't hiding from anyone media catching on that we have way to many forwards right now like an absurd amount of depth and a trade has to be on the horizon. Gorton's going to start feeling the pressure this weekend to finish this off season.

I just checked and we actually both short changed him, he had 11.

 

[Inferno]

yeah i just realized i added PPP to PPG...

lol. math fail.

 

[Thirty One]

Fowler's career high in primary points is 10. Doug Murray's is 8. Fowler also amazingly went without one in the lockout shortened 12-13 season

edit: that's at even strength

 

[Kovalev27]

AV specifically likes righty D playing the right side no way we're looking at fowler.

You don't want to be held to what you say? Then don't make the comments

 

[Mr Clutch]

Lets just go all in and get colton pareyko.
Buchnevich+1st+Fast+Holden

Even thats probably not enough...i can dream

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Its probably going to be Nash and Mcl for Shattenkirk.

 

[RempireStateBuilding]

Its probably going to be Nash and Mcl for Shattenkirk.

Because STL is jumping at that package.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Because STL is jumping at that package.

Oh yeah because no one wants a 30G scorer and potential shutdown Dman

 

[KingDeathMetal]

Are these latest Nash rumors coming from a reliable source?

There are no Nash rumors. Just people assuming he is getting trading because we have so many forwards.

 

[Thirty One]

That's a highly contested topic around these parts.

St Louis is one season away from losing the asset altogether. Leverage is everything.

Dagoon basically said that Nash and a Dman are in play with a few west coast teams, they have been working the phones "for weeks" but he doesn't know if anything is close. Thats basically the summary.
