If we're not winning games, shouldn't we at least wait to see if our coach gets fired before trading our captain?
No even though I do like Mete. Nothing on the Habs interests me unless you guys want to give up Drouin+. Chucky or any combo of your mediocre prospects we don't have interest inGallagher or Poehling, Mete, 1st
Gallagher sure no problem. No to Poehling , Mete , 1st Montreal doesn't give that upGallagher or Poehling, Mete, 1st

All is good then
That Puljujarvi, 1st, 2nd deal is probably the best one you'd get. Add that to what the Rangers got for Stepan and Raanta and that's a pretty good start to a rebuild
To expensive for the Leafs....
I agree not a matchQuite.
The teams aren’t a match and that’s okay!
Plus Zuccarello would bring in quite a haul. Rangers though, much like the Habs, are in tough to go for a full rebuild because of goaltending.
Where does Zuccarello figure into this?
Rangers could have into a rebuild with Hank for sure. When Shestyorkin comes over he is going to be their Vasilevsky. Hank is in decline. He can’t single handedly get the Rangers into the playoffs anymore and shouldn’t be treated as such.
If they're rebuilding they trade him? I thought that was self explanatory
What I mean is he's still a good enough goalie that he'd keep them out of the absolute basement, they'd hang around as a bubble team
so the Rangers are rebuilding now?
Nothing worse than being a bubble team. The Rangers can try to trade Lundqvist but there are three obvious problems:
The trade market for goalies, his NMC and his contract. It’s very hard for a Lundqvist match in a trade.
As for Zuccarello he probably sticks around because he has a good contract and is very popular in the organization would take a lot to move. I was a little confused because you referenced the Puljujarvi and picks for McDonagh offer.
Yeah fair enough I was referring more to the "good start to the rebuild" comment.
That's exactly where the Habs are with Price. You'll never get anywhere near what he's worth to your own team, and honestly what he'd be worth to the team acquiring him. Best I could see for Hank would be a couple of cap dumps and a couple 1sts, and I think his on ice value is much more than that
I mean the Rangers would have jumped at that.
I don’t know which team, especially that Lundqvist waives NMC for, would go for that though.
Price at least has age on his side
They don't "have to" do anything. They're 1-5 now, depending on if, when and how they turn it around they can be sellers or buyers or stand pat.Probably not. The Rangers has a chance to rebuild last summer but chose not to. They really have to buy now because they took a half measure.
That would be a steal for us....we can't afford the price it would take.leafs offer kapanen, nielsen and a 1st.
