Rumor: Trade Rumor/Speculation Thread XXVII: Viva la St.Louis! [Mod Warning post #1]

Even better. If you can make that deal, do it.

Can you imagine a top line of Kreider-Barkov-Nash?

I agree. Might even be better to flip Stepan for him.

So Stepan, Top Prospect, 1st or 2nd for Barkov. What would Florida think of that?

Kreider - Barkov - Nash
Pouliot - Brassard - Zucc
Hags - Richards - Cally or Miller
Boyle - Moore - Carcillo

Florida's owner is an ex-Ranger fan correct? Get the man on the line.

He was. My dad actually grew up with him in Brooklyn. They went to school together. I'll tell him to give him a buzz

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I would also move Kreider for a potential top center

 

[GregSirico]

I'd trade Kreider for Barkov. I'd have to duck past all the anvils his fanboys threw at me, but I'd do that deal in a heartbeat.

However imagine putting Kreider and Barkov on the same line?

With Nash..

Tell him to give us Barkov for a bag of pucks.

Lol, I'm glad someone braved the Kreider suggestion. I was thinking it but assumed I would be ridiculed for saying so.

Regardless, it is this kind of ballsy move that is necessary to acquire that elusive piece for this roster.

I really like Kreider and Stepan and i think they're both potential answers to the bigger idea, but maybe we can move one for a potential top flight center.

What other young centers would you guys move them for besides Barkov?

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Disagree that they would ask for him?

Hahaha. Fair point. No, disagree that he'd be an appropriate centerpiece of the deal. Barkov OOZES potential, but McD is already a legit #1D. Florida would need to add IMO - and I don't see the Rangers making the deal in any case.

How about Stepan, Skjei and Kristo?

Stepan slots in behind Huberdeau, Skjei gives them a stud LH defenseman who may well develop into a McDonagh-type and Kristo gives them a scoring winger (whom they can give the necessary 80 NHL games required to retain his rights).

 

[Gardner McKay]

Oof .. I love CK ... but man that deal ...

Then that opens up another hole. A top 6 winger. I'd still make the deal I think depending... Kreider + what for barkov?

Ryan O'Reilly

So the rangers shouldn't sign cally, they should buyout Richie, and shouldn't go after stastny or vanek in the offseason......so whos gonna be playing those mins?

Somebody that is not them

I'd do that, prefer to keep Skjei though, I really like him.

I think Stepan holds a lot of value. If you add a good prospect, like Kristo, Fast, Allen, McIlrath, etc. and add a 1st, you might get him to listen.

Even sweeten it with another pick for all I care.

Stepan
1 of Kristo, Fast, Allen, McIlrath
1st Rounder
2nd Rounder.

Is that close?

Is Florida shopping Barkov or something?

A left winger is much easier to replace then a top flight center. We have strength on the wings. We need a #1 C.

Also, I'm not as high on ROR as others are. I wouldn't mind him, but he's not a gamebreaker like Barkov will be.

I wouldn't offer up the farm for him. Mackinnon or Duchene on the other hand

Highly doubt it

I'd go Stepan, Allen, Kristo and a 1st.

Can we not discuss what kind of ballsy trade this team should be making, instead of trading for a 40 year old?

Those guys rarely get shopped, but we see them moved sometimes.

Forsberg and Seguin were both moved last year, rather shockingly. It happens.

enlightening

 

[AHB*]

I'd go Stepan, Allen, Kristo and a 1st.

I truly believe that something like this could get them to listen.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

It's better than going round and round on Callahan lol

Thought about that too, but if I'm FLA with Gudbrandson already there, I really want Skjei. I'm a big fan and would prefer to keep him over every prospect you named (except for MAYBE Fast), but I'd include any of them as the prospect piece - gotta give to get.

no. HF is just being HF.

Trading for a player that was just taken second overall in a relatively deep draft, who's already playing in the NHL at the age of 18 isn't ballsy, it's a pipe dream.

Absolutely. I can do that deal and keep both Skjei and Fast? Sign me up.
