Rumor: Ranger Scouts watching Colorado tonight.

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
I know he was only mentioned once, but there is 0 % chance it is Erik Johnson. I know it isn't being noticed around Hfboards yet, but he is living up to his draft potential right now. He has been a monster for the Avs. You can strike his name off that list of players the Rangers should be interested in.
 
If Stastny is a FA, and we have loads of space coming off the books, why should we trade for him?
 
Also, what's with all the McGinn love. He's a pretty meh player. Doesn't add anything to the table. Don't we have enough players that can provide that to us already?

bc hes a top 6 center and someone we'd target via FA..

can help now and future.. excellent 2way center, add to the c depth and help push Stepan down add relief to him..

Stastsy+Barrie wouldn't be terrible depending on MDZ+ (maybe Brass)+ prospect

MZA-Stastny-Nash
Kreider-Step-Cally
Hags-BRich-Dorsett
Boyle-Moore-Carcillo

or even

Kreider-Stastny-Nash
Hags-Step-Cally
Poo-Brich-MZA
Boyle-Moore-Dorsett
Carcillo
 
Buying out Richards to replace him with Stastny would be a prototypical Rangers lateral move. Actually at best a lateral move.

Really highlights how poor center depth is in the organization.

Why would we spend assets on a player who doesn't fix the problem we have at center? Stastny is good defensively and can score kinda, but he's smallish and an awful skater. More of the same problems at center. And he's going on 29.

We need to take the assets we have, and sell smart. Make good moves for the future. Trading for Stastny is such a Rangers move. Lets get away from not's working, shall we?
 
Don't know the COL system too well, but they aren't a team I would do business with simply because they've been a losing organization the last few years.

Taking assets from a losing org has some bleed over effect as the Rangers are seeing with the CLB contingency that's here. Would not want to repeat the scenario once again.

Yup. Even more confusing if we send assets to get him before he's a FA too.

Confusing, but I wouldn't be surprised. Sather at his finest.

yeah i hear ya..

what would you suggest in targeting..ROR? its hard to build a team without selling your own assets and building for now and the future.. Draft is imperative to have success but never easy and rolling the dice when drafting, especially since we haven't had a top 5 pick even top 10 picks in a number of years..

I personally wouldn't want to trade MDZ, I think hes young very talented and should be given a better chance to develop and needs to be coached up for confidence.. but typical ranger fashion as well as the organization, they want quick fixes and solutions.. all about the next player..

everyone wants to rebuild and get all these prospects and picks, but no NYR fan wants the growing pains that go along with it..

Dubi struggled we needed a scorer we trade him..

We want a 1c, we have a very nice young center in stepan but we give him **** bc hes not producing.. so we think the grass is greener elsewhere.. its always an on going process, no decision is easy..

Orr Nightmare is not really referring to size. He prefers big guys who fight to small guys who can skate. We all have different opinions on this stuff.

Hahaha Based on the way they play yeah for sure. But I worry that Siemens may be a Teubert in the sense that he might not develop physically to play that way in the pros.

Another instance of a kid not being able to put on muscle mass is Zach Hamill.

Be care of trading for pieces like this.

Stralman is definitely taller than that. I met the guy a couple of years ago and was about my height (I'm 186 cm). He's listed as 185cm at swehockey. That would be closer to 6'1 if I'm not out to lunch.

Edit: he's listed as 185 cm (6´1) on his own website. One would assume that is correct.

Yes with the core they built up and want to add to. To do that they are going to jettison the guys they don't want moving forward. Meaning they'll trade the scraps from their farm.

No doubt about it. I've said it before, he's at least 6', if not 6'1". Watch him near players listed at 6', he's easily as tall if not taller.
 
Stralman is one of the strongest Rangers, he is a workout freak. Keep what we have, they are melding nicely now and winning.
