ITK have been a thing for year in the soccer game and has gotten to the point where there is tons of people throwing around loads of shit, hope we ever get to that point. Suprised to see if around here though.
 
This is why you sometimes have to root to tank. The chance that the Rangers would win the Cup was significantly less than the chance to win 1OA. Plus you pick earlier in the later rounds as well.

Rangers window is now opening up. It's a great time to be a fan of this team.

the best part is we did no such thing as tanking this season. That’s truly a wonderful thing about getting first overall this year. Showed some improvement and we were playing pretty well second half of the season
 
Curveball for you guys.

ADA signs for, I dunno, 5x5 tmr.

Fox is the RD that gets moved. I know. I know... Shocker....

It’ll never happen. Buutttt, let’s try and play this scenario out. What do you guys consider fair 1-1 value?

Please spare me the, “OMG DIE IT’LL NEVER HAPPEN” nonsense. I know how unlikely that scenario is. This hypothetical scenario is being presented because I can guarantee you Gorts has fielded calls on Fox. And, the fact that if you’re big-game hunting like Gorts has like it been, it’ll ultimately include some of our untouchables.

Just curious to who you guys see as fair compensation after his sensational rookie season.

Thinking out loud here - let’s say the offers for ADA are mediocre. But, some teams are offering a stupid return for Fox...?

Trouba
ADA
Lundkvist

That’s a damn fine RD group.

But for shits and giggles, let’s say Gorton gets an offer so ridiculous, that we have to settle for Trouba/ADA/Lundkvist longterm at RD.

What would you guys move Fox for straight up?

Id say Zegras. Or. Ottawa’s 3rd overall.

Rangers wouldn't trade him after literally forcing his way here last year

f*** the both of you’s! :laugh:

You literally missed the entire point of that post.

I’m not suggesting we should trade or entertain the idea of trading Fox. Hell, I listed him as one of our untouchables before Players like Zbad and Panarin.

What I’m asking is, what would you guys consider as a fair return for him if Gorton decided to roll with Trouba/ADA/Lundkvist.

This thought has definitely crossed my mind. Just never posted it because it's taboo to even mention Fox in a trade.

But, hypothetically, if Fox is the deal breaker for Buffalo in an Eichel deal? Tough call. I know if I'm Buffalo, and #1/Kakko are off the table, Fox needs to be included or it's a hard stop.

probably hardest guy to get fair value for. I guess Zegras but Anaheim won’t deal him. He’s part of the core four going forward. Shesty, Kakko, Lafreniere, Fox.
 
100% agree. And, at the end of the day all you need is that 1 team.

ADA has been a good NYR though. I know some ppl judge him because of this or that, but as a “problem child”, he’s been a fine player for us.

He didn’t bitch when he was benched and scratched. He’s been, by all indication, a good teammate who’s loved by his teammates. He’s made us proud by dropping the gloves against bigger opponents to redeem his peers. And most importantly, he’s produced. And not just this year. ADA’s potential and production started taking off the previous year. And he built on that quite a bit.

I’m confident GM’s are aware of these facts too. Or sucks that he’s not LH. Or that we’ve become strong at RD in the blink of an eye. He’s really grown on me and exceeded expectations.

I think he's the kind of guy that deserves an A on his chest soon. Tony's making his bones playing hockey. Kid's a great interview. Good face behind a camera, and he steps up for his team. Smaller in height but pound for pound... he can TKO a dude or two. He's not afraid. Tony's got a lot going for himself, and is a new age athlete for the game in the social media age.

There's a lot of good with Tony DeAngelo. The Rangers certainly don't lose by keeping Tony.

As weird as it would look, this would be one of the landing spots I’d hate the least. Ovechkin is one of my favorite players of all time so I’d say Caps are my 2nd favorite team, even though I don’t believe in having a 2nd favorite.

He can also get in the Rangers way to prove point. Rangers would have to go through WSH if both teams are contending. If the Rangers meet Henrik in the playoffs, I'd love to see a day game in WSH with the next game back in NY. Bet you Hank goes lights out on the day game, takes the train up to NYC, has dinner with the fam at a restaurant of their choice, and goes lights on the next game. That would be a Kingly thing to do.

Yup - I guessed this.

Right now, if you’re the Rangers GM and you have an opportunity to extend ADA and move Fox for Zegras....

Do you pull the trigger...?

I do not want to move Fox - but at the end of the day every player has a price. If the offers on ADA are garbage, but I can get arguably the best Center prospect in the NHL for Fox, I pull that trigger as painful as it is..

I’ve been drinking and I’m posting a very improbable scenario — but, it’s something that crossed my mind and wanted to hear some of your thoughts. So far, you actually answered my question, where other posters posted the garbage response I kind of expected.
