Speculation: Roster/Trade Discussion Thread: Draft and FA addition

[Guyute]

I like McTavish. The numbers don’t look great, and he’s another slow forward. But he’s just 23 and the underlying numbers were solid in the playoffs.

 

[NYR94]

Sullivan would have to introduce him to the defensive zone.

 

[ManhattaKnight]

Borgen maybe . Schneider is going to be waaaaaay better elsewhere

Well they always are

He’s a good reclamation project but I don’t want to overpay.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Someone call Colony Grill and ask for some updates on trade talks

Just based off the neck beard alone, I'm out on McTavish

didnt the knicks get a chopped under appreciated guy who broke out?

 

[EdJovanovski]

We should not be acquiring or drafting a single player whose skating is not a strength. Let alone one of the slowest skaters in the league.

[Riche16]

They already had a duck in the reflecting pool. It was...no longer swimming.

Yeah... that was my point

 

[Waltuh]

im gonna hold my breath until the trade is announced if i die drury is culpable

[Sam Rosen]

Wow seattle's offer to robertson was $15Mx8yr. DENIED.

 

[JimmyG89]

Yeah, but McTavish is not related to John Turturro.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I think Seattle dodged a bullet & Robertson is gonna regret not taking that deal.

If we can trade Gabe and keep him at the same time I say we do it.

Skating speed is way more important for defenseman than it is for forwards.

Panthers threw out a group of forwards who could barely move collectively and made 3 straight finals (winning 2 of them.) They just added another one who also can't move and everyone is creaming over it.

There can only be one Gabe

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Nothing happening tonight its already past Drury bed time

 

[Good Intentions]

Cuylle-McTavish-Marchment would be a fun line to watch

In Nashville?

 

[17futurecap]

Vince tweets like he’s posting on a message board.

 

[Sam Rosen]

5OA on the table if McTavish goes no bucky like his name suggests he should

 

[eco's bones]

I actually like McTavish and think he could help us. That said everything comes down to 1. how much and 2. I don't like the idea of us getting in a bidding war for pretty much anybody. You figure out what you're willing to give up and you might try to underbid from that but you don't go any farther than what you're willing in the first place.

On the 26 overall though---we'd be very lucky to pick a forward at that spot who would end up better than McTavish and the guy chosen at that spot is probably at least 2/3 if not more years away. I wouldn't give up #5 for him.

As for his cap hit. League average cap hit next year will be close to $5. He's at $7 and long term. By the time his deal is up he'll probably be around average. It's not a big deal and the Rangers will have plenty of cap.
