Speculation: Trade / Roster Speculation Thread XXIX: Down To The Wire

[The Gloaming]

Who has sutter been playing with though? With the pens lack of wingers plus their injuries, I'd be surprised if his linemates weren't straight up AHL garbage the entire year.

 

[nyr2k2]

Serious question: outside of the Nash deal, which was a unique case played out over a year due to the fact that the player was pushing it, when was the last time a Rangers trade was rumored more than 90 seconds before it was official? Seems to me Slats always takes us by surprise.

Boomer mentioned Kevin Klein about a week and a half before it went down. I feel like we discussed the Clowe deal for a while before it went down as well. Tim Erixon, though that was a unique situation. Otherwise? You're right, they're usually pretty out of left field.

Trade Cally + Hagelin for MSL and a 4th.

Trade Stralman for a 2nd.

Trade that 2nd for Jagr.

Trade Dorsett for a 5th or 6th.

Call up Allen.

Kreider-Stepan-Nash
Jagr-Richards-MSL
Poo-Brass-Zucc
Boyle-Moore-Zarcillo

McD-G
Staal-Allen
Moore-Klein

 

[RonGreschner]

I have a feeling Boyle Dorsett and Moore will be dealt for another defensemen and another 4th line winger to compliment Miller and Carcillo!

 

[bernmeister]

Yakupov is interesting ... but honestly I am high on Miller, I think he has a lot of upside. I wold probably be willing to move ANY other prospect aside from Miller.

This, recognizing Kreider is no longer a prospect.

Maybe Staal + Brassard + small add?

then NY gets to slide Skjei into LD late next year, long term a smart move.

 

[SlingshotVv]

3deals this deadline already where the hf crew waaaay over blew the value of players. Penner was supposed to return a prospect and a high pick. Pirri was going to return a first at the very least, and now Bryz. I'm really interested to see what the return on Callahan is going to net

[HatTrick Swayze]

Who cares, its on twitter!

So true. If the Rangers include Miller or Stepan in a Kesler trade they are more hopeless than I imagined.

The idea of acquiring Kesler is to add him to a good, not great center group.

 

[Crease]

I'm not totally enamored with Stepan but it's silly to trade him for another C. Acquire a C through other means and move Stepan into the #2 slot. It's like the Rangers set the lineup with two serviceable top-six C's, and then pat themselves on the back.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

They're gonna ****ing sign Callahan. Unreal. Bravo!

Unbelievable.

Ugh.

Horrible.

Eesh

 

[Chaels Arms]

I'm a little bit worried about Kesler on this team. I think he benefitted heavily from getting easier matchups since everyone in the West was keying in on the Sedin line. Plus, the injuries. He's not really a 1C type IMO and I think the Rangers are going to make a mistake if they cast him as such. I definitely wouldn't trade Stepan for him.

Please no.

I might be jumping off my roof if they sign him for $6MM.

 

[KreiMeARiver*]

Can you imagine this nightmare scenario:

Callahan resigned for 6+ x6
Stepan + Miller traded for Kesler.

“@TSNBobMcKenzie: I am hearing NYR and Ryan Callahan are inching towards a contract agreement but they're not there...yet. #TSN #Tradecentreâ€

Not surprised at all. McGuire said on the radio that Callahan's agent is a negotiator, not a lunatic. They'll take it to the wire and eventually get the deal done.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Would some team please swoop in and save Sather from his idiocy?

 

[The Gloaming]

Trade Cally + Hagelin for MSL and a 4th.

Trade Stralman for a 2nd.

Trade that 2nd for Jagr.

Trade Dorsett for a 5th or 6th.

Call up Allen.

Kreider-Stepan-Nash
Jagr-Richards-MSL
Poo-Brass-Zucc
Boyle-Moore-Zarcillo

McD-G
Staal-Allen
Moore-Klein

So we're getting the best RW of all time and playing him on the left? Also, do not want to trade Hagelin for MSL, no matter how much I love MSL.

Penner for a 4th rounder was a great deal for Washington and Bryzgolov going to Minn and Fasth going to Anaheim wonder if Brodeur goes out west to play for the Ducks

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Gun enter mouth

That 2nd scenario won't happen.. no way they get both.
