First Scheifele, now Domi.

This board is on a suicide mission to replace Ryan Strome with Ryan Strome.
I wouldn’t mind Domi, but not to replace Strome. I would want Domi for the 3rd line. A line with like Goodrow-Domi-Kakko could have potential.

A lot can be said about Domi, but he is a very slippery at center ice and hard to contain when moving the puck. Doesn’t need a lot of space and he doesn’t need to have a lot of speed when he gets the puck.

That makes him different from Strome and Chytil and it’s abilities that I think we miss.

I am not at all sold on that he fits in long term. Don’t think he will be very cheap. But, I wouldn’t mind taking a flier on him at this deadline.

Domi has taken 20 faceoffs in 50 games this year. Kreider has taken 111, by comparison.

Domi is 44% on faceoffs in his last 3 years.

He is a chippy winger that has been downtrending for years. He is nothing more than a whatever bottom 6 rental for cheap.
 
If Drury wants to build a complete 3rd line, go get Lehkonen and Jarnkrok. Both should be reasonable re-signings. Jarnkrok plays all 3 forward positions like Goodrow. Lehkonen plays either wing.

Kreider-Zib-Laf
Panarin-Strome-Kaako
Lehkonen-Goodrow-Jarnkrok
Chytil-Rooney-Hunt

Flip Chytil and Goodrow, go after Blackwell instead of Jarnkrok and I like it.
 
Excellent trade for Anaheim. Getting technically two 2nd round picks for Manson. Helleson played with Zegras in the world Juniors, including the team that won gold.

Rather get a forward who is a little more bite and sandpaper especially needed for the playoffs.


Golden Knights trades William Carrier, and Keegan Kolesar to Rangers for Chytil
Bluejackets trade Max Domi to Rangers for Julian Gauthier

Kreider Mika Lafy
Panarin Strome Kakko
Carrier Domi Goodrow
Hunt Rooney Reaves/Kolesar
 
I mean, that's not very far off from what I would have guessed before the Manson deal. Would I be happy if it happened? No, but that's about what I expect his value to be. 2nd and a B prospect.
I agree. Which is frustrating to say the least since we had someone better but will have to pay more to replace him. And Rakell won't be re-signed either.

So the defense market is being somewhat set. I guess MTL could still ask for a 1st for Chiarot, but you couldn't blame a team for offering a 2nd and a prospect.

Anaheim is open for business. If Rakell is on the trip with the Ducks, just let him stay in NYC. Make the move after the game if they feel that way.

The rumor is that the Pens want him as well. That's your direct 1st round opponent. I'm not overpaying, but I'm taking a run at him.

2nd + Robertson or 2nd + Pajuniemi

Fills the middle 6 scoring hole. Allows you to go and get that gritter option as the other forward. Zach Sandford or Johan Larsson. Won't cost much, would be solid additions

It's probably around that if not less.

Manson types are always valued this time of year. Depth scorers tend to go for less.
 
They rolled the dice and held on for a better offer.

Wonder if this pushes him to the off-season now.
Arizona has a huge asking price. Some teams don't share Arizona's enthusiasm for this player.

I read this article a few days ago.

Eric Duhatschek, one of our senior writers, also weighed in, praising the proposal’s creativity but saying it has no chance of getting across the finish line. While Arizona is listening to Chychrun offers, the Coyotes won’t make a deal unless they’re blown away.

“They believe Chychrun’s upside is really high: a top-15 defenseman in the league having a bad year,” Duhatschek said. “Not everyone I know shares that perspective. Some GMs I speak to are actually quite lukewarm on him. Not sure how Joe Sakic feels, but my guess is his evaluation of Chychrun might be different than Bill Armstrong’s.”

 
Hurricanes wanted Manson badly. They are definitely looking to add a dman

Come on man - you're a great poster around here - but this is nonsense.

Scheifele is 13th in the NHL in scoring over the last 3 years and 19th in the NHL over the last 2 years -- a time frame where this board likes to say he's "declining"... this comparison is nonsense. Both of these numbers - while very close, are ahead of Zibanejad - who again, for his career, MS has outproduced by quite a large margin.

No matter how many times people try and compare MS to Strome - it does make the comparison remotely close.

If WPG would say yes to anything along the lines of Lundkvist, Krav, Chytil and a 1st - the Rangers would drive all of them to airport in a heartbeat.

Agreed. The slander against scheifele is completely ridiculous. The guy is a stud and would be the 3rd or 4th best player on this team and he’s probably better then that
