Rumor: Rangers Shakeup (Friedman)

[Charlie Conway]

Drury was the culture change. Nearly the entire roster was constructed by Gorton. He has fidgeted very little except giving away a few good players for nothing and signing Trochek.

Aside from Buchnevich, there wasn't a whole lot he got rid of.

He managed to ditch an overpaid Goodrow and a regressing Trouba without having to pay to do so.
You could argue he gave away Morgan Barron and Brett Howden as part of rental deals, but neither of those guys have made it past a bottom-6 role to this point. And we lost Ty Emberson on waivers, who's on the Oilers' bottom pair.

Who are the good players he gave away?

 

[Barry Tallackson]

What a disaster. Extending Shesterkin to that deal certainly complicates roster restructuring at this point. Iggy Piggy will keep the team from bottoming out and properly rebuilding

 

[herzausstein]

More than a few guys who should have packed an extra bag for this game against Nashville. I feel like this is one if those where a guy finds out he's been traded to the other team right before the game and has to go over to the other locker room.

Nashville and New York can swap players after the game. Both teams just underperforming so far

 

[SoundAndFury]

Extending Shesterkin to that deal certainly complicates roster restructuring at this point.

Shesterkin's contract is 11,5 mil. 5 aging, underperforming 30+ forwards are in the books for 37,2 mil. So yeah, clearly Shestyorkin's contract is the problem here.

If what you said was even remotely close to the truth, the Rangers can trade Shestyorkin for the king's ransom at any point before his new contract kicks in.

 

[Kocur Dill]

Im hoping for a Kotalik/Higgens for Jokinen/Prust on-the-road deal.

In the end we wound up with a bottom 6 catalyst and shed some cap space.

Jokinen, Jokinened himself out the door as usual. But Pruster cemented a role for a few years we havent had since, outside of Kevin Klein.

This club is sorely in need of a Prust/Klein in their prime type player(s).

What does it take to get Kakko on the Oilers?

Hyman and a 2nd

Rutherford basically said they’re making a move soon, something to keep an eye on

kakko for hoglander+deharnais?+a 6th

 

[ducknuts]

Kakko for Vatrano.

 

[Vitto79]

What do the Wild offer ?
No cap space so Hartman and Kush ?

I'll bite. What do you guys want from Tampa for Kreider at 50%

 

[Machinehead]

Sure, but if I'm another team's GM thinking about acquiring him, the quotes he's given today give me pause.

Granted, if I'm another team's GM, him handling the puck like a 2nd grader gives me pause LMAO

If we're retaining 50% for 2+ years, it's going to be expensive, and you guys don't have a lot that we'd want. Moser would be the most obvious target, but I doubt you'd have any interest in trading him.

Geekie and a pick, or some combination of Howard, Finley and picks might get it done.

You're probably right but I wouldn't hold out. Ranger trades with Tampa usually end up like a man waking up and realizing the woman he took home the night before just stole all his shit

Tampa doesn't need Kreider that badly

Tampa doesn't need Kreider that badly

I think of Kreider just a little bit like Jake Guentzel. Jake was exactly what this team needed and everyone could see it. Even fans. It was a rare case of getting what we both wanted and needed -no matter the cost. And we are better for it. You're right. We don't NEED Kreider but everyone knows if we swung that trade, we'd be near unstoppable depending on what we gave up

He's a little too old and busted for my taste, with two years left on his deal you're right we'd need 50% retention; but since I see him as a liability at that rate, I'm not willing to part with good assets to make it happen.
