could you envision life without step if duchene comes back ?

i mean, is that a deal you would make depending on the particulars.

using stepan to add a true 1C is enticing. then we re up on brendan smith and sign shattenkirk.

27/shatty
76/42

duchene
mika
hayes
oscar/nieves

What are you talking about? Nieves is a clear 1C...

17 points in the 24 games that Zibanejad was injured. Try again.

i find it amusing that many here who pimp stepan as a solid 1C also throw shade at hayes and call him a 3C.

brain farts aside, hayes has more natural talent than does derek stepan. he's yet to put it all together but at 6'5 and 225 lbs, kevin hayes is far from the slug he is portrayed as here.
 
Duchene is due a huge pay raise in two years. Are we paying him, Mika, and Hayes? People need to consider the long-term financials of these moves. That's why Step locked into his price tag now is such a good deal. 55 points a year, all situations play, and has the best goal metrics on the team year in and year out.

How do you guys like Myers out of Winnipeg? Can't imagine he'd cost much considering they're currently in the 8 skaters model (protecting Byfuglien, Trouba, Enstrom, Myers)

Zero interest in Myers. He's 27, 2 years left on his contract. I don't want to sign him long term at 29 even if he is healthy.

Hopefully we lock down Mika long term so hes cheap (relatively)
And get real, what the hell are we paying Hayes for? I just don't see it
 
I don't understand all the fuss for Duchene.

I'll buy that the Colorado situation had an effect on his production last year, but he straight up mailed it in and hes actually lost a step (unlike Stepan, who is just slow.)

He's barely cheaper (and will only be that way for 2 more seasons) and while his highs have been higher, he's already showing actual signs of decline.

Stay the F away.

But Montreal fans say it's an albatross contract...

Montreal fans are ****ing idiots and hate the Rangers because they can't wrap their heads around the laws of physics re: Kreider/Price.

I don't care what they have to say. Stepan is worth every penny of his contract. The ******** fallacies being posted endlessly about him are so ****ing annoying. Want to move him because it'll help set us up long term? Fine. Don't act like he's this worthless slug who's going to be an albatross when in reality he's going to be in his prime these next 3 years.

not buying into that signs of decline stuff.

that team last year was toxic. forget the numbers, the whole team mailed it in.

duchene is 26 and can still fly. he fits this team like a glove. the avs will move him and pretty much all teams will take a look. he's a legit high end 1C.

its more than just a lateral move. its an improvement and fits the gorton model.
