Teams showing interest in Georgiev? — The Fourth Period Seems a bit surprising to me. I guess we’ll see.

 

[BBKers]

2 long shots
Bostons first rounder and one of Studnicka/Fredric. Would we do that for Ryan Strome (plus a very small add perhaps)?
Or Minnesotas first, Jack McBain and Viktor Rask (cap dump) for Ryan Strome, a 3rd and a pure contract dump (someone like Jacob Elmer)?

I'd be for this just for the Simpsons jokes alone.

If you are a Colorado, you could do worse for a backup.

We should’ve Done it Done it Done it last summer.

Sending Strome to Boston for Studnicka & 1st would make the Nash haul even more absurd.

Fredric would absolutely fit what the Rangers need.

 

[rangers1314]

I'm very interested to see who ponies up to get Ullmark out of Buffalo.

Colorado, Toronto should both be in there.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Studnika and a 1st is an easy yes for Strome

you do that everyday of the week

Columbus is "really open for business" right now. Something I just heard. Anything that we would want and would be realistic from that direction? Jenner? Roslovic? Laine??!! Not sure myself

Isn't Jenner out for the year?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He is.

 

[bleedblue94]

Legitamate question, if NYR trades smith and they are making an organizational push for the playoffs, who is taking his place in the lineup? It probably wont be another rookie if they are focused on the playoffs.

 

[bleedblue94]

Roslavic in, Strome out, net assets and cap space?

 

[BBKers]

Did not know. Thanks

Foudy?

Shesterkin (25)

 

[bleedblue94]

Foudy?

have to believe they keep the young controllable assets that they can have long term. laine and negotiations is probably a mess just waiting to happen.

I saw something last night speculating that teams would be interested in Foligno. If they’re already willing to move Roslovic, I’d easily trade for him.

Looking at it objectively, I struggle to see how the NYR are going to provide the types of opportunities players like Kakko, Lafreniere, perhaps Kravtsov, and perhaps Chytil are going to rightly deserve - hopefully over the next ~season or so - without moving out some bodies.

All these kids need to work on their games, but if we are being objective they are also quite blocked on the depth chart. And the vast majority of coaches are going to defer to giving opportunity to the veteran players.

PP1 - Panarin, Kreider, Zibanejad or his replacement, Fox are locked in here. That's one spot open over the short/medium term, meaning likely that at most one of Kakko/Lafreniere get an opportunity. Then factor in Strome and Buchnevich still being on the roster. Sure, maybe Kakko could take Kreider's spot, and Lafreniere could take Strome's spot...but then they are paying Kreider/Strome based on production that includes more PP time than they would currently be getting. I.e. diminished value both on the trade market and to the org in terms of $ / point production. I.e. Trouba.

In an ideal world Buchnevich should be the guy they keep, and Kreider should be moved due to the relative depth between LW/RW. But that's not really realistic for obvious reasons. I fully expect Buch to be the odd man out. They need to free up the depth chart a bit, and paying Buch based on peak production in this short season when we know he is not going to be on PP1 anytime soon seems like bad $ allocation. Some team should offer something really good for him. NYR will have a really good "story" when shopping him - he's a great player.

I'd move both Strome and Buch this weekend.

Gotta believe CLB and the Rangers are looking to make similar deals this particular TDL. Doubt there's a match to be made between the two.

Never say never, of course.
