And Sabres.I thought only Arizona was allowed to accumulate 1sts?
Only if Kekalainen really likes Chytil. I'm kind of ambivalent myself.Rangers scouting Them tonight
Texier for a 1st and Chytil enough ?
I seriously doubt it. Wingers are not a need here.Pittsburgh’s first would be in the 20s or hopefully 32nd. Pittsburgh’s 1st + defensive stalwart Zach Aston-Reese. Get a cheaper winger to replace Rust/Kap/Zucker all or some may be gone after this season.
Texier is finally coming through as a top-6 forward with skill and speed. The only issue is the Jackets need a center and Tex is showing he is most effective as a winger (which the Jackets are loaded up on with Laine, Voracek, Bjorkstrand, Nyquist, Chinakhov, Domi, etc. etc.).
A 1st is fair, especially if it is coupled with a roster player as a cap dump.
His primary drawback is ability to stay healthy.
I'll let someone else field this one because it's just too easy.so whats the price
Willing to listen != trying to sell.They spent all of this time patiently developing him for years, only to turn around and deal him for magic beans when he's finally realizing his potential?
Odd way to interpret it...taking calls means hes for sale.
Might work to read the thread title?so whats the price
What is with all of these teams asking for 1st rounders and a prospect for guys who clearly should not bring back that kind of return? It's just bizarre to me.
Why would a team pay a prospect and a 1st for Texier when they could add to that slightly and get someone like Boeser or Miller? It's just odd. Texier is definitely unique due to being so young and cheap, but still. I'd rather add a bit more to get a substantially better player than spend that kind of capital on someone like Texier.
Why trade him for a 1st, who if you are lucky 2-4 years from now, will be another Texier?
Why would Columbus deal Texier? He's one of their most valuable assets. He is a great player and a Canes killer. I'd pay the moon to get Texier on my team. Does Alexandre want out of Columbus? I can't fathom why the CBJ fans would want to deal Tex.
I haven’t seen much at all of him except a playoff series where I was impressed. From reading this, he’s not a center. Does he play RW or LW? If he can play RW then I at least kick the tires on him if I’m the Rangers. If not, I don’t see the fit.

No you're right. This report makes no sense.
If you've got a surplus of wingers (they do) then trade one of the many soft skill guys they have. Tex has a fantastic grit and skill combination. You'd be thrilled if a mid to late 1st round pick ended up like him, so why move him for that?
