I just don't get trade Hayes for a ready top 4 RHD, we are set there this season with Shattenkirk, Pionk and DeAngelo, we will probably suck, but we will discover if any of these players can be in the long time plan of this franchise. I would rather get a stud prospect plus than a Hanifin type of player.

ROR has done what Stepan has done on a team that has basically nothing else to work with. Guy is definitely a #1 center
Karlsson took a team that had no more talent than what would be left here in NY (before additional reinforcements are added) to the Easten Conference Final last year. Just sayin...

And they fell short and look at them now. Before this year they were kinda stuck in no mans land. I don't want to be stuck in no mans land.

Damn. Someone posted the following proposal:
Karlsson+4OA
for
Zuccarello, Namestnikov, Day, 26OA and 28OA
It's difficult to say no to that. Having 4OA and 9OA plus Karlsson? That's exciting.

Of course it's exciting, that's a horrible deal for Ottawa and a fantasy for us

Karslsson AND 4OA for Zucc+Names, a longshot in Day, and 2 picks that could be something or nothing. If that was to happen, Gorton will be indicted on highway robbery. I like that package though, Karlsson here would be magical

Zuccarello (1 year removed from UFA), Namestsnikov (RFA), Day (1% chance of being an NHL player) and 2 late firsts.
If you break it down:
26+28+Namestnikov for 4OA
Zuccarello+Day for Karlsson

The gap should be described as a sliver.
Marginal difference between the two players overall games.

Stepan was always a legitimate guy to hang your hopes on when you needed something crucial to happen, our terrible season can be attributed to him being gone.

One would think that they would want the Rangers to take back Ryan I'd that was the deal.

And then promptly lost to a more talented team. His team also had zero business beating a mediocre Rangers club and did so on the back of a crazy during of breaks and bounces (I seem to recall EK himself scoring from behind the goal line on Hank).
f*** this anything can happen mentality.

This seems like a straight up regurgitation of the last several pages of this thread.
I want nothing to do with moving up from 9. Stay there and take the bpa faller.
Do what you can to move up into the next tier (12-20) and grab one of those guys too.
Keep the late first because there's going to be someone good available there too.
Pick Russians with later picks as others avoid them.

Where’d you hear Hughes? I’d be ecstatic if we grabbed him (I have him ranked 3rd) didn’t Brooks mention Bouchard? Hope we don’t go after Kotka though
Hughes is mentioned in that article.
Any of the top 11-12 aside from Bouchard would be A-ok for me
Will Chevy and Trouba be able to work something out? It’s easy to say that you want something done quick, but if things struggle to go forward and a lot of water already have passed under a bridge it can get ugly fast.
Calm before the storm for Jets? Draft is in focus, but other issues already on the radar
Gorton should call Chevy about Petan. I’ve asked this before, why not arrange a sign and trade? Stastny on a 2 year deal, retain 2m and trade him for Petan. Circumvention? I am far from sold on that. There are many situations very much like that, use the tools the CBA provides.

I worry about Hughes ability to play defense. I get the whole...who needs to defend if you always have the puck...but sometimes he's gonna play against guys like ovechkin Crosby mcdavid hall matthews etc etc etc....you still gotta defend...he's gotta be one of the weaker defenders from what I've seen and read.
