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

[Ola]

Shocking revelation.

Yeah it’s a revelation at least. Not many teams are actively considering dealing a valuable player.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

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

We also have an underachieving 9OA we can add.

This is a steal, Rangers. Three top-10 picks from the last 6 drafts!

 

[McJedi]

As an Avs fan, I wouldn’t trade Newhook for LaF straigh-up.

 

[me2]

Peter Griffin, mystery box, boat.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

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?

Shitting on others? I litterally brought up the fact you suggested an old player when the rumor clearly says young and you are getting all tight about that.

 

[The don godfather]

Lysell for him. Bruins are in.

 

[Savant]

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

Bertuzzi can’t play in New York. There’s no deal to be had there

 

[Junohockeyfan]

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

KK was called a bust after his 2nd season by HF non Habs fans and he produced more than Laf!

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

We also have an underachieving 9OA we can add.

This is a steal, Rangers. Three top-10 picks from the last 6 drafts!

So many underachivers. The common denominator - Gallant.

 

[DucksUnited]

Got a gut feeling Montreal will be in on this. They got assets for Chiarot. They can take the chance on Laf

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

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

MORE LIKE rags fans vibrating at the possibility of getting an elite talent for this bust. Lol

 

[japhi]

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

Suzuki, but MTL wouldn't do that.

 

[Viqsi]

We also have an underachieving 9OA we can add.

This is a steal, Rangers. Three top-10 picks from the last 6 drafts!

Would I be correct in also noting that two of those three players have already scored more in the NHL than Lafreniere?

EDIT: Indeed, one of them has exactly the same number of points as Laf in exactly the same number of games played for this season, and the other has one more point. That's a hell of a steal. They totally have to go for that.

 

[El Travo]

Laf is basically Yakupov without the promising rookie season until proven otherwise. If he's traded, it should be at a reclamation project's value. Just keep him and learn to develop forwards.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Kotkaniemi for Laf + Kravtsov ?

 

[BatVader]

While not “young”, Scheifele would be a great fit on the NYR, also fitting into their current playoff window nicely, and they‘d have a really good chance of extending him when his current contract ends, if they wanted to.
But, I get them wanting to get a younger player in return

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

So many underachivers. The common denominator - Gallant.

The Wings offer Rasmussen (9OA), Juolevi (5OA), and Zadina (6OA) for Lafreniere (1OA). It's a steal, I tell you.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Laf is basically Yakupov without the promising rookie season until proven otherwise. If he's traded, it should be at a reclamation project's value. Just keep him and learn to develop forwards yourself.

Lafupov!,

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

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

No, we are not ready to give an Elite young player for him...

 

[JKG33]

Shitting on others? I litterally brought up the fact you suggested an old player when the rumor clearly says young and you are getting all tight about that.

So again, no suggestions from you?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Seems like the rangers want a young talent with high end potential, so I doubt they would be interested in late 1st round picks.
They would want one of Suzuki, Caufield, or the top 5 pick, which are easy pass for the habs.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

So again, no suggestions from you?

No because the rumor is almost 100% bullshit.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

Would I be correct in also noting that two of those three players have already scored more in the NHL than Lafreniere?

Juolevi, Zadina, and Rasmussen have less career goals than Lafreniere.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

No, we are not ready to give an Elite young player for him...

Only have 2 and they aren't available. Romanov+ is the best offer

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Kotkaniemi for Laf + Kravtsov ?

I am not a Rangers fan but is this a joke. Plus is on the wrong side and no one wants to touch that Kotkaniemi contract to much risk involved.
