So when they announcing the Smith re-signing since they can protect him now?

On July 1st.

If they have an agreement in place, it would really make more sense for them to hold off on announcing it so that they can take advantage of a team who needs to move a D.

Was just about to post. He followed it up with a tweet about his NTC kicking in on 07/01. The ball is rolling it seems...

 

[RealCatFishHunter]

yes!!!!

 

[Gardner McKay]

You know. I like Stepan. But after the crap he pulled in the playoffs telling Lundqvist to calm down as the team was playing like absolute ass... He can go as long as its for an absolute haul.

Stepan + Raanta + pick for Trouba

 

[Griffinbw]

Stepan + Raanta + pick for Trouba

Please no

 

[Ghost of jas]

Gut telling me we are looking at a Step for Galchenyuk and the 26th deal. And if it happens. I think it means the Rangers still see him as a center.

Stepan + Raanta + pick for Trouba

As long as the pick is a late round, i am more than happy with that

 

[RangerBoy]

I would trade all of them except for Skjei, Zibanejad,Buchnevich and Vesey. Lundqvist has a no move and makes a ton of money. The rest of them can go.

Sounds like a solid deal to me. No complaints based on what I've seen of Galchenyuk

Putting all the pieces together, its the move that makes the most sense.

It's a risk, but a worthy one IMO.

Stepan + Raanta + pick for Trouba

That would suck for the Rangers.

yup. said all this right after it happened.

feel the same.

I think Stepan is dealt. I think Gorton is blowing it up.

I think this is likely as well, and I'd like the move. Still think Galchenyuk can be groomed as a center, it would be better to do it here considering he wouldn't be thrust into #1 ice time and responsibility unlike Montreal who has center depth comparable to the Coyotes.

Stepan + Raanta + pick for Trouba

Omg. FFS can we give up on overpaying for Trouba already? The guy is going to want 8 million on his next contract. He isn't worth that.

Stepan + 4th for Galchenyuk + 1st + Beaulieu

 

[RangerBoy]

The Rangers have a protection slot on D. Options.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I think Stepan is dealt. I think Gorton is blowing it up.

I hope so. The window is closed with this group. Get younger and more skilled.

 

[Griffinbw]

If we deal Staal do we end up switching protection models?

This. Although I'd prefer Scherback to Beaulieu

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Maybe we trade Stepan for a defenseman before the expansion draft.

Speculaaaaation.

 

[offdacrossbar]

i really think the feel henrik can go hard for 2 more seasons. he can be elite or certainly good enough to win not all for 2 more years.

i agree that deals will be made ala the brass/mika deal.

stepan is the most logical guy. do they feel they can move him for right handed d help like trouba ? if so, then they feel pretty good going mika. hayes. lindy. nieves ?

or do they need to upgrade the center with a pivot coming back. galchenyuk ?

i do believe there will be some legit changes.

 

[aufheben]

lol I dare you Montreal, trade with us again.
