Because Berard is prob going to be dealt in the next 48 hours

Yeah and it’s most likely going to be a dumb trade.

But hey who cares, we got Lindgren Goodrow and Trouba to grit us through the playoffs!!

 

[duhmetreE]

From the games I have watched him he's looked bad defensively. Even Sens fans are putting him in every trade. Seems like they have already had enough of him.

being on Ottawa and out of position doesn't help

Our Best prospect (maybe second to Perreault). If he is traded it better be for a young player with some term.

well I hope that is the case but its a gamble if we are giving up good young assets.

 

[Kovalev27]

I have Berard as our second best prospect and most nhl ready behind Perrault but it has felt like the org has been hiding him behind Othmann all year. Strange but he’s def the one they’re dangling right now

he has a decent body of work to go off of. The biggest concern was health. He's showing he possibly improved in that regard

 

[NYRKing]

Based on Brooksie write ups:

- Wennberg for 2nd plus mid prospect
- Sounds like a no go on Vatrano as Drury apparently balked on a 1st
- Kakko is staying

Only question is who is the RW to acquire? Haven’t heard any credible reports on that.

Also, pretty sure they’re happy with the D. Lavi likes Gus.

[Hire Sather]

There have been plenty of opportunities to give Berard a shot this season and they haven't done it.

I don't think the organization is too high on him

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Also, pretty sure they’re happy with the D. Lavi likes Gus.

Gus is one (of many) tired mofos. He needs to sit out the next 2 and take advantage of this sparse stretch of games.

 

[Kovalev27]

I have zero problem getting duclair if it comes down to it. One of the few guys that can at least skate and play rush hockey with Mika and Kreider. Be interesting to see them together.

The Rangers called up Rempe and Edstrom because they needed size in the bottom 6. Rangers arent going to call up Berard to play on the 4th line. If Kakko is gone by Friday, Berard is the perfect replacement. I find it very hard to believe Drury wants to trade ELC guys over a guy who is a pending RFA who is open about it wanting more ice time, despite doing nothing with it.

 

[BBKers]

Seems like they are awaiting the trade call for Wennberg. Retention issues...

That line needs another floater like I need another hole in the head. Duclair does nothing but cherry pick and get beat defensively.

I bet Lindgren would have value as a young veteran to a stupid team like Buffalo. Rangers are spinning their wheels with this guy playing top pair even strength minutes, but like with Mika and Kreider, I dont think the coaching staff sees a better option right now

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Not sure what makes me want to puke more, the idea of trading a boatload of assets & then signing a RW who's on the wrong side of 30 to a 7 year deal or the fact that our "rebuild" produced literally 1 top 6 player.

Our rebuild has produced players like Laf, Kakko, Miller, Schneider, and Chytil. It's also turned around the teams fortunes from missing the playoffs for 4 straight years to what is likely going to be a 3rd straight 105+ point season. It's really not that bad. Also, a rebuild is not just about drafting. Trades and FA acquisitions are all part of it. We also added Panarin, Fox, and Trocheck as part of the overall upgrade of the roster. Go ask fans of Buffalo, Columbus, Ottawa, Arizona, how their rebuilds are going.

Eh. He's 20 and small. I suspect they don't want to rush him but I'd be shocked if they just didn't rate the kid

 

[bhamill]

I think you're misconstruing what I am saying. I agree adding Guentzel now would be helpful. What I disagree with is that when you sign a player like Guentzel, who is likely to get 6-7 years, you have to look down the road. Guentzel isn't Panarin. Panarin was 27 when he became a UFA and you even said you're concerned as Panarin and Kreider age. What do you think will happen with Guentzel in year 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7? You have to look at what is coming and the cost/benefit of the acquisition and the long term benefit/hindrance of their cap hit.

The Rangers aren't in dire need of another wing. They just aren't.

I agree, paying Guentzel 8 mil till he's 37 or 38... BAD idea. If we get him he's a rental.

The Rangers have talked to Philadelphia about Laughton. The Rangers could end up playing Philadelphia in the playoffs. The Flyers have a high asking price on Laughton for all of these teams. There is no guarantee the Rangers play Carolina in the playoffs.

I didn't bring up Guentzel or Buchnevich. The Pittsburgh guy is a LW. The Rangers don't need another LW. He is looking for a huge contract. Buchnevich is the last guy Drury should even consider. Trades Buchnevich for a Blais and a 2nd and then trades two first round pick assets and another asset to reacquire him. Drury looks like the biggest moron in the history of the National Hockey League.

Is he trying to win a cup or what? Buch is the best player available at the Rangers biggest area of need. He has term and his cap hit is a bargain. Make the f***ing deal.

 

[NYR Viper]

Because Berard is prob going to be dealt in the next 48 hours

Why would this be? Most teams don't trade their high end prospects

I have Berard as our second best prospect and most nhl ready behind Perrault but it has felt like the org has been hiding him behind Othmann all year. Strange but he’s def the one they’re dangling right now

Where are the sources for this definitive shopping you're claiming here?

 

[McRanger92]

Seriously. I feel like everyone has their fan fiction on the situation between Drury and Buchnevich but nothing has ever confirmed. All I know is, Buch is on the market and the Rangers need a top 6 forward who is a fit in the locker room.

 

[NYR Viper]

Eh. He's 20 and small. I suspect they don't want to rush him but I'd be shocked if they just didn't rate the kid

The guy plays a perfect game for what the team needs but because he hasn't been called up in the fist 60 games in his first pro season the team is sour on him. Interesting thoughts...

 

[duhmetreE]

they have better options.

KAM Fox
Gus Trouba

but they are scared of the County Club bromances. but you could also argue Gus Schneider is better than Gus Trouba

 

[NYR Viper]

Panarin Zibs Laffy
Kreider Trocheck Kakko
Cuylle Eller Wennberg

KAM/Chych Fox

I could get behind that

Seems like they are awaiting the trade call for Wennberg. Retention issues...

Any word on the cost
