Why would the Ducks do that they are rebuilding and dealing top picks
Pay attention.
they get "a solid player" and ADD 3 1sts from Rangers for 3 2nds, so trading up in each case, to swallow cap they are in a position to eat. Then, on top of that, there is a synergy as to Strome + bread playing together ups their value collectively more than individually. So since it is a relatively short max of 3 yrs, they can get this pair in a groove, then flip. for profit. If they eat part of both salaries, can flip for more profit.
Profit, btw, = more + better assets needed to go rebuilding -> competing -> contention.
Then, as to Lindy, a high 2nd and a good 2nd round prospect is worth Lindgren, who could be flipped for comparable or better value [viz, more if a team is desperate due to injury] and if they keep him, which they should short term for 2 or so years, he is a younger quality add when they deal Forbert.
Why would NYR do that with no replacements they are in win now mode
Because the ballpark $14m in cap space = huge flexibility for the roster, provided we listen to bern and do not hand out oversized contracts like candy, + add nmcs on top of that.
Also bern is totally right, win now = totally wrong.
Let Drury and Rangers bend, buckle, and break in capitulation to that particular fact.
Also I get you have wood for Lindy, he/his game is to be appreciated, but we need to give youth mins. Accept that reality.
Helleson is righty RD, we need.
You act like Panarin sucks . He needs to produce in the playoffs. He will get another shot
Sucking or not, gagging/swallowing/not swallowing after the fact, I don't care.
He does not produce enuf to justify 11+m.
The POs just highlight that.
Productive: yes. Has value: yes. Worth 14m? NO.
Lindgren is more important than you think
One for his on ice warrior like play and two because Fox loves the guy
Lindgren we have to sell high on, don't care that Fox loves.
Must develop youth
I know you are going to give the reasons you stated but it’s never going to happen.
It should.
That is the dominant and overriding pt.
Not my fault if NYR mgmt too stupid to listen to bern, and while we are at it, several other posters, instead continuing w/mo win now stupidity.
At this point, agree. We have to commit to the young players and make sure they're all signed. We have no extra space to work with really because we have Panarin, Kreider, Trouba, etc all locked in and basically un-movable.
My hope is we trade Goodrow and fit Othamm and Cyulle in and whatever holes are left fill with what we have or maybe get someone from the bargain bin.
Full agree and gave it a deserved love, just wanna point out we should not rush into dealing Goodrow unless it is totally worth it for us.
We can start out the season w/him, see how our internal options are progressing, try to help them along, and again, think ahead to exploiting an injury situation that always happens.
For example, today we deal Good w/o retention and take back a 7th, maybe a 6th, as a cap dump.
But if a trading partner is strapped due to injury, maybe we add a 3rd and upgrade to a 2nd.
Like that.
