I would think Kreider would have to be involved if Newhook were on the table. If its Buch then its probably Kaut and a pick

Buch has more value IMO. His production isn't far behind Kreider's, though Kreider is more of a goal scorer. He's younger and cost controlled, with another year on his current deal before he becomes an RFA.

It's doubtful that Colorado would give up Newhook for Buch, but that's the kind of deal I feel would be required to move him. He isn't a pending UFA where it's trade him, sign him or let him walk. We have no incentive to trade him unless we are getting a player in return who can potentially be better at some point in the future.

re-posting in here.

So, as of now. We have
1. Panarin
2. Zibs
3. Chytil
4. Kreider/Buch
5. Lemieux
6. Howden
7. Gauthier

assuming Gauthier takes off.
Strome will likely be here for 1 more year and more than likely traded.
Assuming one of Kreider/Buch are moved. ( If not both )

On defense things get interesting and further show that some changes are on the way.
1.Trouba
2.ADA
3. Skjei/Lindgren/Hajek?

Trouba and ADA are set in stone. Who's the 3?

What can a Skjei+Buch package net us? Skjei+Kreider? Skjei+Strome/Fast?
 
Why does everyone wanna get rid of Fast? It's not his fault our rw depth isnt up to par. He is fine as a 3rd/4th liner, and he would max out as a 3rd round pick as a return.

I think every penny counts ... gonna suck to see him go but they can run Kakko , Buch, Gauthier , Howden on RW

Until there's a signed contract, I think it's premature to say ADA is "set in stone".
 
People are gonna hype themselves up for Newhook then want to lynch Gorton when we trade for like Jost or something

It doesn't have to be Newhook, though I am trying to speak that into existence, but if the return is Jost for Kreider, with some of these other returns, yeah I'd be pissed.
 
A Ranger blog who I don’t want to give exposure to is saying Fast might be traded before tomorrow’s game

So either they stole it from us here, or they know something lol

Very good chance Fast is traded.

Strome is more questionable right now.

Buch is generating a lot of interest --- including Calgary.

Great stuff Edge!

Don’t like Calgary’s LDs and hope they don’t go for any of them (assuming Hanifin isn’t an option)...
 
Please don't be similar to the TB deal for McDonagh. No to something like Heinen/First/and B prospect. although I don't hate Heinen just afraid he may be a product of the Bruins efficient system. Their first is tricky. Hopefully if we get their first Tampa wins division and Bruins don't get to conference finals. Still that first won't be very high

That isn't a fair comparison, McD had 1 year left on his deal. CK is a pure rental.
