The Graves deal is regrettable, in retrospect, but I had no problem with it at the time. Graves' development had stagnated, so we took a flyer on Bigras who was an interesting project.

I'm glad it worked out for Graves, though I still think he's about half the player his numbers suggest. Throw him on an average team and everyone would have forgotten about him--his numbers would reflect the 5/6D that he most likely is.

I would guess Colorado eventually sells high on Graves and his next team is like, uh, why did we give up X for this guy?

I could be wrong about him. I don't lose any sleep over that trade, though.

I knew right away we got screwed on the Graves trade. How can you give up on a solid prospect without even trying them in NHL.

46/50.

Fast
McKegg
Di Giuseppe
Haley
Beleskey
Staal or Lundqvist in a buyout?
Gropp
Leedahl
Fontaine
Fogarty
Nieves
Lettieri
O'Regan
Crawley
Raddysh
Ebert
Berube

All those guys are impending RFA or UFAs. I would guess half of two-thirds are gone. Of course other guys will be signed for both NHL and AHL roles, but Day didn't put them in any kind of bind.

Either way, the termination has to be mutual. If it isn't mutual the club can still place the player on unconditional waivers and try to go this route, but the player can grieve it. That rarely happens though because usually the player also wants out of the deal. As a club, we're one of the more active in the mutual termination category.

I never understood why they did not like Crawley isn't he basically identical player to Lindgren?

For whats worth, Forever Blueshirts reported that they heard, from a reputed insider source, Crawley is being considered for summer 2020 expanded roster.

My guess it is logistics issue, Rykov is probably in Russia, Hajek in Czech Republic, while Crowley is in New Jersey?

In any case he only received 9 games in AHL this season, they really gave up on him it seems, but he looked pretty good in the preseason games I watched over last 3 years.

Graves reminds me a lot of Matt Hunwick.
 
Sean Day has the tools but no toolbox, I seriously thought we stole him in the draft. I'm not sure what he has going on mentally or whatever that won't let him connect the dots but it's a massive waste of talent.

assuming that something didn't happen that we aren't aware of, i'm thinking that this is another situation where the rangers try to do the right thing for their players. day had no future here so rather than burying him in the echl he know can go see if he can get a shot with another club, in the ahl or europe....

My question has always been whether or not the Rangers wanted Fox and tried to trade up but were rebuffed. Calgary took him at 66 and Day was 81 so a sizable gap that an extra 2017 3rd or 4th may have shrunk.

Considering the lengths they went through just to get Fox means he must have been very high on their draft board.

As for Day, it is what it is. Anyone who watched his draft year saw the risks outweighing the reward. He never put it together or seemed to enjoy playing. Maybe coaching or scouting will be his thing. Or an agent.

would have cost a lot less to trade up at that time.
 
They didn't need to get rid of Day to accommodate Gross, who would have had a tough battle to win a spot in Hartford anyway.

It's a mutual contract termination, it's not like they "cut him" to make room for another player like you would in other sports.
 
The amount of anguish that some of you go into is really...shocking.

This move..this player...is a one-liner mention. It's not even near the map of relevancy.

Not every prospect or pick has a future. The majority just hold a temporary spot in the A (or lower).
