Nash, Grabner, DD and Holden / Kampfer are likely all gone.

As far as the other names go, those expecting more trades are likely to be disappointed. A maximum of one trade where Gorton is likely to get an enticing overpayment offer.

Tend to agree.
 
Top tier targets for me would be:
Jesse Puljujarvi
Max Domi
Kiiril Kaprizov

They depend highly on the cost. I wouldn't part with a sure fire player like fast for any of them. I'm big fans of those players but their current teams don't need a life line from us and I'm not big on acquiring question marks for proven commodities.
 
Random thought...Gorton loved Keller in his draft year and wanted to make a deal for him. Would you trade McDonagh for Domi and Keller?

Arizona wouldn’t do that.

Keller is one of the new faces of the franchise. McDonagh is guaranteed to walk in a year and a half. It’s not worth it from here prospective.
 
This is my dream deadline plus draft:

Deadline:
Nash to Tampa for a 1st in 18’ and Foote
Grabner
for a 1st
Holden
for a 3rd
Ryan McDonagh and one of the late 1st for Joel Eriksson-Ek, Kaprizov and Brodin

At draft:
Shatty, Vesey and Nieves to EDM for Puljujarvi
Marc Staal
@4.5m to Carolina for Marcus Kreuger
Jonas Brodin, JT Miller
and one of the late 1st and our 1st in 19’ for OEL and Max Domi
Draft Brady Tkachuk

Kreider-Domi-Buch
Ziba-Lias-Puljujarvi
JEE-Chytil-Zucc
Kreuger-Hayes-Fast
OEL-Pionk
Skjei-Foote
Graves-TDA
Hank

Tkachuk
joins the team when he college season ends. Kaprizov for 19/20.

Thoughts? :)

Rangers best center has been bumped to wing for Domi who may not even be a top 6 guy?
 
McD not playing tonight with a "lingering upper body issue."

Commence speculation...



Wonder if he just becomes a summer trade at this point, rest doesn't seem like it's going to fix the injury he has. Assuming he will need off-season surgery, will any team give up top assets for the two playoffs runs if on one of those runs, he is already injured?

Rest will definitely heal a broken bone.

Doubt surgery is required. If it were, he would have had it already.

Was not aware of the broken hand rumor. Ain't that NYR luck, can't even get out of a fire sale in one piece.
 
Listening to the full Bobcast, and this was mentioned in the Sabres section, but has merrit in regards to Nash:

Sounds like they're having a hard time getting the 1st+prospect+lesser roster player that they want, but would take a Martin Hanzel type return (1st+2nd or 1st+prospect). This was mentioned for E Kane, but Bob talked about it as an issue Gorton has likely faced as well.

I'll take a 1+2 or 1+prospect for Nash.
