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

Geeze Ottawa has like 59 picks in this draft

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

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

Top 3 protected.

Only top 3 protected.

Doesn't Pageau now push the Islanders as cup contenders? As Ranger fans, probably not something we are rooting for.

 

[Edge]

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

That's crazy!!

It's also survival. Not many people are looking to sign there, and they're not yet at a point where they can make player for player swaps with ease.

 

[Thirty One]

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

The third rounder is fake.

 

[Joey Bones]

Per Elliotte, if Islanders 2020 1st is a top 3 pick, it moves to 2021.

LoL, not even close.

About as much as Nik Antropov made us cup contenders once.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

That should help Kreiders deal for sure. SHOULD

 

[Anthony5967]

Dorion did well. Lou mortgaging two high picks for a guy having a career year in a contract year who's a 14-16 goal scorer.

 

[Tawnos]

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

Its solid. It’s not a haul. It’s a 1+2, which is more or less what we all expected... isn’t it?

The Islanders weren’t a Cup contender before the deal, and they didn’t become one after it.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Top 3 protected.

does the pick turn into a 1st next year if so?

 

[Edge]

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

Could be looking at a teen pick, and one in the mid 40s.

 

[nevesis]

Kreider will fetch a f***ing kings ransom now. This is good news.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

This is the best deadline in years thus far...

Never head deals this early

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

does the pick turn into a 1st next year if so?

Yes.

 

[duhmetreE]

Any chance for a Kreider for Guiranov swap?

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Kreider will fetch a f*cking kings ransom now. This is good news.

Lets hope so

 

[Joey Bones]

Confirmed by three sources now, Byfuglien will not play this season.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Doesn't Pageau now push the Islanders as cup contenders? As Ranger fans, probably not something we are rooting for.

I feel better about our chances of winning the cup than I do the Islanders with Pageau. That team is a glass cannon. They can't score and if they don't get top notch goaltending, they are toast.

 

[Edge]

Its solid. It’s not a haul. It’s a 1+2, which is more or less what we all expected... isn’t it?

Yeah, but probably not with the idea that they could be in the teens and 40s. That's a big jump for imagining the pick could be, say, 26th and 57th.

 

[Hitch16]

LoL, not even close.

They always make me nervous Crypto - the fan base is intolerable. They were so happy in 2014 and 2015 when we came up short.

Come on GMs. Up up and away. The prices of Coleman, Pageau, etc... come on. The Rangers HAVE to get some incredible value back right?
