GDT: The 2020 TDL Challenge Thread - stay the course or buy the horse?

[Edge]

Think we're interested even if Kreider isn't going back?

Quite possibly --- yes.

 

[Anthony5967]

I hope they paid through the nose for Pageau

 

[RGY]

 

[Avery16]

I was told he was gonna get traded for way more than we got

I’m wrong once in a while. This time won’t hurt much.

Pageau's a good fit for that Islander team. Gotta be said at least.

 

[JimmyG89]

 

[will1066]

Pageau kills us though, and now he's in the Tri-State.

 

[Thirty One]

OK, it's a lot LOL

 

[Tawnos]

That’s a haul?

This is HFNYR. We put seven out of two and two together.

Let's spitball for a second and say the Avs and Rangers end up connecting. Let's even say Jost is part of the package. With salary retained, you could be looking at something as minimal as $1.5m difference.

But again, the Rangers aren't going to do the Avs any favors in that regard. It's going to come with a price.

 

[TheDirtyH]

That’s a haul?

For a #3 Center?

 

[Joey Bones]

Big picks in return for Pageau. Waiting on conditions....

 

[Fugazy]

That's certainly a lot.

 

[JHS]

He'd be 11 years younger and cost controlled.

But may never develop into anything like Kreider already is. Your argument is classic "rebuild" mindset--get a younger guy and keep him for longer. The issue is, you just can't make that guarantee and if you can't why make deals that keep the Rangers in constant rebuild mode.

 

[rangersfansince08]

Both @Edge and @bobbop have said Kyrou is in the conversation.

That would be amazing.

 

[Thirty One]

That’s a haul?

Yeah, I was expecting more when Gord Miller said that.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

It's a 1st and a 2nd for pageau.

 

[BBKers]

Good for Kreiders value. And Fast

 

[archanfelnsx]

If Pageau got back a 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd then what is Kreider worth?! Buckle up.

 

[Joey Bones]

Sens now have 3 1sts this year. Two of which most likely top 10.

That's crazy!!

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

gotta be that the 1st stays if the Islanders miss, because thats a very real possibility.

 

[Edge]

That’s a haul?

For a guy having his first 20 goal season, and who's never topped 43 points, I think it's solid.

 

[Kovalev27]

First and a second in 2020 from a team barely hanging on to a playoff spot? That’s a high price

plus a 2022 pick that appears to be conditional
