do you have info on the part where DeAngelo is open to signing a cheaper long term contract?
He’s an RFA and we’re the team who gave him a chance after being moved twice at such a young age. He fits in really well with our room and I’m sure he’d take something like 5.75-6.5 long term. Also keep in mind the flat cap.. Trouba signed that deal when we were expecting the cap to go up

So who are this year's St. Croix, McColgan, Aaltonen, etc.? You know, the guys who at one point were projected to be top-15 picks, but didn't perform up to expectations.
 
I don’t know what is in his head. It’s more about what he thinks he’s gonna get.

DeAngelo also has 3 RFA years left

So who are this year's St. Croix, McColgan, Aaltonen, etc.? You know, the guys who at one point were projected to be top-15 picks, but didn't perform up to expectations.

A couple players who were ranked pretty high early on:

Kasper Simontaival
Justin Barron
Antonio Stranges
Jean-Luc Foudy
Jaromir Pytlik
Connor McClennon
Theo Rochette
 
Three trade proposals and a lineup:

Henrik agrees to be a backup until the end of his contract (i.e. next year).
Marc Staal is bought out.
Jesper Fast walks.

1. Tony Deangelo and Brendan Smith to the Golden Knights for Paul Stastny, Peyton Krebs, and an unprotected first round pick in 2022.

2. Alex Georgiev and Ryan Strome to the Flames for Elias Lindholm

3. Pavel Buchnevich, Libor Hajek and Lias Andersson to the Oilers for Darnell Nurse and Jesse Puljujarvi


2020 Lineup:

Panarin-Zibanejad-Lindholm
Lafreniere-Stastny-Kakko
Kreider-Chytil-Kravtsov
Lemieux-Howden-Gauthier


Nurse-Trouba
Lindgren-Fox
Reunanen/K'Andre-van Riemsdyk (signed)


Igor
Henrik



Thoughts?

If you want my complete honesty, I hate every single one of these trades for the Rangers. Aside from the Lindholm one which CGY wouldn’t take.
 
I don't think there's a chance he gets near 8M so he's definitely going to be cheaper. I'd imagine somewhere between 5.5-6M. Similar to what Barrie got when he was 24.

That figure for anything longer than a 4 year deal would be an absolute steal.
 
The more I frame my thoughts by reading other posts and via responses I post (or just formulate them without posting), the more I come to conclusion that Gorton’s priorities should start with LD (1 or 2), and the most straight forward way is via moving ADA (one way or another).

Add Sean Day to that list as well. Rangers are notorious for taking those types of players

I could see Stranges as a player the Rangers would target. Super skilled and great skater. Just a trainwreck when the pucks not on his stick

If they value skating, Dawson Mercer seems like a logical target. How likely is it the Rangers go with a player from the Q, though? Lafreniere is a given, but it's been 43 years

Day is due a breakout season after signing with TB.

I think not drafting from the Q is more noticed by the fans and is a coincidence from the team standpoint. I don’t think they care if its the BPA on their list...

I would chuckle though after all the jokes if we get a bunch of players from the Q

It's a pretty strong year for the Q so I wouldn't mind.
