Rumor: Rangers willing to trade Lafreniere for a young elite talent with team control

[Junohockeyfan]

Imagine if Laf was drafted by the Habs and busting bad like he is now…. What a cluster that would be!

 

[RangersFan1994]

Lafy, Lundkvist, Jones, Kravtsov, Chytil, Barron 1st in 2022 and 2ed (blues), for Zegras, McTavish and Lindholm??

Bring Zegras home

 

[iFan]

that's Laffin funny

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Drury is as tight lipped as they come. I don't believe for a second that someone in the Rangers org shared this info with him. See Vatrano, Frank. Not one pundit had it on their radar.

 

[JKG33]

Ok but if we believe this rumor, then why suggest older players?

Honestly I didn't realize Scheifele was as old as he is.

But I don't see you coming in here to suggest ideas, only shitting on others. Who do you think they'd get?

 

[HabsQC]

Habs fans have to be vibrating in their chairs with excitement at the possiblity. lol.

A bit but I guess they would want Caufield and it's a no go IMO.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

No thanx… Schneider or no deal from a Jets pov

Jets fans hate him and then he becomes amazing the second a trade is discussed.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Laf ain’t gonna draw that. He isn’t elite.

 

[Reddwit]

I'll trade them an underachieving player who was 6OA for their underachieving player who was 1st OA.

I'll even throw in a 2nd.

Come on now, that wouldn’t be fair. You gotta throw in an underachieving 5OA too.

Easy no for the ducks

 

[BatVader]

Just me or is Pagnotta sounding more and more like Eklund

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Byfield for Laf. Bust vs Bust.

Think the Rangers might find other teams have different definitions of “young elite talent”

 

[Leonardo87]

Must be a slow news day on the trade front. Usually always is the weekend before the deadline.

 

[MK9]

And what elite talent do they gave to offer that NYR would be interested in?

Don't know. Don't care. Neither are my team. Considering the posts we were seeing earlier in the season by their fans, they seemed all kinds of interested. Which was entertaining.

 

[Go Wings]

Hmm interesting this might make some sense to move Bertuzzi to NYR and have Laf as part of the package coming back to Detroit.

 

[BatVader]

Define “young”

 

[kings11]

Chychrun.

Laf has nice chemistry with Hayton and coach Tourigny.

This might be spot on… but it’ll be Laf+1st+?
It’ll be a 3 piece trade but for the next 3.25 years the Rangers D would be otherworldly

 

[Mal Reynolds]

Chychrun.

Laf has nice chemistry with Hayton and coach Tourigny.

That's one name that meets the criteria that makes some semblance of sense to me....

I mean, personally if I'm NY, I'd keep the package of futures and cross my fingers. They have talent at left side D, just let it mature

But certainly they could make a competitive offer for Chychryn

 

[Chips]

Who is dealing elite, young talent with team control for Laf?

All I can think of is a team with talented RFA they have doubts will want to commit long term, doesn’t have to have term already but an RFA when his deal ends

 

[JKG33]

Byfield for Laf. Bust vs Bust.

I'm probably the only Kings fan that'd agree but I'd love that move.

 

[JoemAvs]

Laf ain’t gonna draw that. He isn’t elite.

Yeah they might be willing to trade him for that but no sane person would offer that for Laf.

They made a giant mistake not paying up a bit for Eichel. All the names that they were unwilling to give up don't look exactly like they will pan out for them.

 

[Lundell4Prez]

How about Anton Lundell from Florida. Rangers get the better player currently at a position they could use(center), Florida gets the higher upside.

No thanks

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Byfield for Laf. Bust vs Bust.

Neither are busts. Turcotte is likely a bust but i doubt he is moved for a wing.

Wow, the NYR giving up early on this kid.
