Player Discussion Ryan Spooner

[Filthy Dangles]

It greatly improves your credibility if you've played hockey apparently

Wonder if he'd complain about his own Rel CF% during the games from the bench.

 

[Edge]

So, you’re not in the Zuccarello Super Friends camp of roster construction?

I dunno, I think it'd be fun to see Zucc and Kreider dress up as the Wonder Twins.

Someone needs to put that together.

There's more than one way to skin a cat. You don't have to trade off every asset to get back to where you want to be, and they won't.

No obviously, but let's break it down:

Hayes - this is a pretty good time to capitalize on his value, or possibly wait another year or 2 to have his value grow, but most likely it will decrease due to age and big contract.
Spooner - had a good run with the Rangers we can capitalize on that, and also his value will likely be lower in a year or two due to age and cap hit.
ADA - I am not a fan, I rather trade him have a feeling he is a bust
Vesey - again now is likely the time to trade him because once his cap goes up he might lose trade value especially if he has another under 40 point season.
Zucc - he can stay for now, everybody likes him, he can always be traded later during the season or season after that
Namestnikov - his value is low now, and if he has a bad season it will be very low, so if any teams show interest in him you trade him.

ADA is 22... he's literally not even old enough to bust at this point....

he is heading into bust territory, do you want to trade him when he is officially a bust and has zero trade value?

You need to see how he looks under a coach who actually wants to play a puck possession game.

Let's see what he looks like under quinn

I have a feeling we will be underwhelmed/disappointed.

I would like to package Hayes, Vesey and DeAngelo to Calgary for Rasmus Andersson, Ruzicka, Bennett and maybe a draft pick.

Yakupov was traded for a 3rd round pick the day after his 23rd birthday... so I guess we have a couple months to go before we can decide DeAngelo is hitting rock bottom.

 

[Brooklyn Ranger]

ADA is waiver eligible this coming season--he has no trade value at this point. Might as well see what Quinn and Co. can do with him.

As for Spooner? Honestly, don't really care either way. I'm not really sure he'll be able to stop disappearing for several games. But, he has shown the ability to continue scoring even in less than ideal situations.

his value is in a multi player deal as part of the package for example: Hayes, Vesey and DeAngelo to Calgary for Rasmus Andersson, Ruzicka, Bennett and maybe a draft pick.

 

[aufheben]

DeAngelo is the best puckmover on the team besides Shattenkirk. I’d rather wait and see what he ends up as than use him as a trade sweetener.

 

[Vitto79]

Would they not have dealt Spooner at the deadline ?

I’d keep him on a 1 year deal and flip at deadline

 

[Nickmo82]

Package him and Namestnikov up and ship them off for a guy like Fox or Nichushkin ++

They are wasted talent on a rebuild. Flip for assets.

I've always seen Zucc as more of a Gleek.
