News: NYR actively looking for a Center & Right Wing before deadline.

[5cotland]

Emily Kaplan said on the live broadcast that:

- Rangers are looking to trade for a center and a right winger.

- Willing to part with their 1st Round Pick if the deal is right.

- Made calls on Scott Laughton but Flyers price is extortionate and priced the Rangers out of a trade.

- NYR have told GMs that prospect Gabe Perrault and Brennan Otthman are not being part of any trade.

I’ll save everyone the Buch jokes and get it out of the way.

I wonder what 2 2nds to STL could get?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Nucks trade them Lindholm.

So Drury doesn’t want to give up anything of value.

So can’t expect any player of significance coming back.

Must be a #4C they’re looking for if they won’t give up Perrault or Othmann and they can’t even get Scott Laughton with what they’re willing to give up.

With the poor quality of the late 1st round this year, don’t think anyone is giving up a legit top-6 C without one of those two prospects coming back.

Colton Sissons + Trenin might make sense in that case, if Nashville sells.

 

[Nakawick]

Crosby and Rust

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Not every rental is going to return a 1st round pick or an equivalent prospect. Some guys will fall through the cracks. More likely at wing than center this year.

That's... that's... that's Victor Olofsson's music!

We don't need a legit top 6 C. We need someone to replace Chytil on the 3rd line so we can move Brodzinski down to the 4th line.

Top 6 RW? Completely different story, but I don't see the Rangers getting one if their best available trade chip is a late 1st.

 

[Random schmoe]

Mantha at 50% and Dowd.

Can you name a rental that garnered a blue chip prospect?

There is plenty of value in the Rangers pool which could fetch a decent rental alongside a 1st rounder but other than Guentzal, there is no rental worth that.

 

[BLNY]

Erat for Forsberg.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Henrique obviously

They don't need a top-6 C. They need a 3rd line C to play between Kakko and Cuylle. They also don't necessarily need a top-6 RW. They need someone to play with Zib and Kreider (which is a bit different). Ironically, these are similar needs as a couple of years ago, where they got Copp and Vatrano (plus a 6th round pick) for a total of Morgan Barron (not a top prospect or a prospect anywhere near the level of Perrault and Othmann), two conditional 2nd round picks, a 5th round pick, and a 4th round pick. So just two years ago, the Rangers got a C and a RW without giving up a top prospect or even giving up a guaranteed 1st round pick.

 

[Akrapovince]

Honestly, if Giroux was in his last year of his contract I think he would be the perfect Swiss Army knife player for the Rangers.

You can put him basically anywhere in that top nine and you will be happy.

 

[abo9]

Dont they have Ziba and Trocheck at center?

If they want a 3rd or 4th line center, understandble that they wouldnt want to get rid of blue chip prospects

 

[atreyuavenged]

You can have 1 slightly used Ryan Johansen.

 

[5cotland]

Erat for Forsberg.

Erat wasn't a rental

Right, my point is that I don’t think you’re going to get a legit contender-quality 3C for a pick in the late 20’s this year.

 

[BLNY]

Erat wasn't a rental

Does the fact he completely checked out count? lol

 

[Byron Bitz]

Josh Norris to NYR for a 2nd round pick and Will Cuylie

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Dumb. We don’t need a RW.

We need a dman or 2 because Tuba and Lindgren are killing us

 

[Coyotes19c]

Nick Schmaltz?

Except...they did. Two years ago. Copp was a key part of the ECF run. And they didn't even give up a guaranteed first in that deal.

Read my post again… key word is “this year”.

I also don’t consider Andrew Copp to be a contender-quality 3C, but I suppose that’s neither here nor there.
