If I offered you $20 today or $10 worth of Lottery Tickets, would you take the Lottery Tickets on the off chance that you would make more then $20 and possibly even hit the jackpot?

Not a great analogy. You're acting as if MSL is a sure thing. How many times have we seen "proven, top vets" come here and not duplicate their previous success?

But to take your analogy further, if you gave me $20 today and the other guys already have $50, what difference does it make?

Wait, what's this crap about Miller?

TB wants a young prospect with Callahan for St. Louis. Posters are hoping it's not Miller. Some posters (like myself) believe Miller is overrated on these boards.

 

[RGY]

Half hour until practice. Will Callahan be out there? Will Boyle be out there?

 

[irishlaxburger2]

Boomer is sticking to his guns and thinks MSL will be a Ranger by 3:00.

Not 1 for 1

 

[slipknottin]

Wait, what's this crap about Miller?

The forum has decided they want to move MZA, Miller, Cally, McL, Kristo, Fast, and a first for MSL.

 

[17futurecap]

So in 5 hours the Rangers will either give Callahan a long term extension or trade him for a guy who is 38?

Oh good lord. An overrated 20 year old.

 

[SupersonicMonkey*]

if i had a dollar for every time I've heard that on these boards

And if we all had a dollar for each time the Rangera brain trust lied to us about being a contender...

Not every prospect makes it. You keep the ones with the highest probability. Thats what successful franchises do.

 

[jskramer83]

Not a good analogy.

A better one would be:

If you offered $20 today + death tomorrow, or $10 worth of lottery tickets..."

Why is it death tomorrow? Do you really think one of these prospects we have is the savior of the franchise?

Is there not going to be an NHL Draft in 2015, 2016, or 2017? Or are there going to be no more young players to be had after this year?

No way. I think the guy has good potential. He just hasn't realized it. He's been excellent since being called up.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

This will be a WOAT deadline

That seems likely, though the other option is to do nothing (for now) which may be the prudent choice.

Why look at successful franchises like Detroit when you have the model of consistency in our team!

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Sather is growing older and doesn't have the best health. Not sure there's much time left for him as our GM.

Trading for MSL is likely his last stand. Sad and misguided as it could end up being.

I'd buy into this, and perhaps even be a bit sympathetic, if he hadn't been making half-assed "now, now, now" decisions for 14 years

 

[Ardi44]

Remember Shanahan's stint here? He was really good for his first season. He proceeded to completely fall apart rapidly and then retired. He was roughly the same age as St. Louis.

At that age its risky and guys can rapidly fall apart.

and i remember the coach over playing him...incorrectly so. and these boards clamoring for Nigel Dawes to take his spot.

Shipping out a handful of young parts for a 38 year old and a dilusional shot in the dark to win a Cup this year will result in crippling this organization's future for years.

 

[Off Sides]

Miller is the 43rd youngest player this year to play in the NHL. MSL is the 11th oldest

Pretty much this.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Boyle?

You think Sather even had Boyle's situation on his radar? LOL.

There won't be an NHL draft for us with how easily the majority of you (and sather) are willing to throw away picks for people who were born before christ.

 

[Lime]

Has there been any rumors on Brian Boyle?

 

[blue2noise]

Shipping out a handful of young parts for a 38 year old and a dilusional shot in the dark to win a Cup this year will result in crippling this organization's future for years.

The final piece will be not buying our Richards again. That stupidity is still pending.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

This will be a WOAT deadline

For the Rangers? Maybe. For the league? Probably not.

 

[RGY]

Boyle?

Ha i doubt it BRB. Id prefer to keep Boyle.
