Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXXI: Trade Everyone For Everything

[TheTakedown]

Lauren Dauphin > Derek Stepan confirmed. They don't need a center anymore.

Lol

In all seriousness, I know nothing about these prospects, but holy hell Dauphin is the definition of bust...

Yeah I see that now, wow. I thought it would be more. Welp, definitely don't understand this one then from Chicago.

Yeah, you don't expect Connor Murphy to make that much.

 

[RGY]

People are way too down on Murphy who is only 24 and has been playing on awful Arizona teams. Chicago got younger and Murphy will be sheltered by Keith and Seabrook handling the workload

 

[E-Train]

I'm pretty sure the Rangers have both of those assets.

Thought it was coincidence.

 

[Tawnos]

What if you're basically helping out a fellow GM by giving him an asset(s) for a guy who was going to walk for nothing at the end of the season?

And next year, you could be the one in the same exact situation.

He'll do better in Chicago...

But I just don't see the motivation to make this move.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Apparently Steve Greeley is now an associate GM with Buffalo

Quite a shame

 

[nevesis]

Holy ****

 

[TheTakedown]

This trade from Arizona also shows something interesting....

They're going after some experienced players who know how to win. Chayka wants vets, he wants guys to put down a framework...

I'm starting to think it wasn't the "we need to start winning" argument that got Tippet fired... It was the "Chayka wants to win X way while Tippet wants win Y way"

 

[Ail]

Yeah, you don't expect Connor Murphy to make that much.

Or be signed to a 5 year deal, lol what the fudge. Well you know what they say about assumptions.

Wow. I am also hearing there is a Panarin/Saad deal in the works.

Woah....

 

[BBKers]

Rangers are waiting to see who is available at #7 before they close an eventual deal for Stepan with Arizona

yeah but if you're trading for a guy who has 5 years left at 3.85, and you have to shelter him, that's not a good trade.

 

[FLYLine27*]

This Arz GM always wins trades..so i'm a bit nervous.

seabrook can't handle any workload, he's terrible defensively

Go on.

 

[EpicDing]

Holy ****

Wow. They just farmed Saad out to CBJ I guess

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Chicago just traded saad? Why they going back on that

Stepan, to a tee, fits the bill as someone experienced who knows when to do what.

And now with Tippet gone, Dvorak is no longer a coaches pet, I think the rangers have a shot at getting this guy...

Imagine if Dvorak was the reason Tippet got fired.. lol

Okay what in the absolute **** is going on now?

Where is Capt McDonut?

 

[RGY]

Not surprised. Saad for Panarin would be a great deal for Chicago imo.

 

[Raspewtin]

Holy ****

no ****ing way

Chicago can't be that stupid can they ?

 

[Thirty One]

This Arz GM always wins trades..so i'm a bit nervous.

How many trades has he made?

 

[EpicDing]

As they should imo

 

[Tawnos]

I would think Hjalmarsson going to Phoenix is going to be an ultimate test of team effects on metrics.
