jsm7302 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 27 Years Old....One more year on his contract...Possibility?? McDonagh, Grabner and a late round pick for Mr. Karlsson? I know he isnt on the better side of his 20's but...you still need experience in a room in order to build young guys. We need a dynamic talent for our less than dynamic roster pieces and it doesn't get much better than Karlsson. Id at least make the call and inquire. That still leaves Nash and others to acquire draft picks. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a dynamic talent for our less than dynamic roster pieces and it doesn't get much better than Karlsson. ^^Point is he is a dynamic talent with a lot left in the gas tank and a good mentor to our upcoming young roster. Kind of similar to Jagr when he was here...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Falco Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Speaking as a big fan of Karlsson, I would have to say no to this. He?s going to command max term/money on his next contract and we?ve already got one that?s got this team handcuffed . I know he?s an elite talent, but he?s not the answer.

Rangers4Life Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It just doesn?t make sense to trade for him. It?s not like we are contending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Falco Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It just doesn?t make sense to trade for him. It?s not like we are contending. It doesn?t. But I took the OP?s suggestion as someone to build the defense around. Either way he would cost too much in assets and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 That's not even close to what it would cost to acquire him. McDonagh, like Karlsson, has one year before UFA. You think he's staying in Ottawa? Or Grabner? More like Skjei, Buchnevich, NYR 1st and conditional 1st.

Kind of similar to Jagr when he was here...... His injuries make this a really bad move for a team trying to get younger. Picture Bobby Orr as a Blackhawk.

BrooksBurner Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 A bit too old to "start building around". By the time the Rangers are re-built, Karlsson will be 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It doesn’t. But I took the OP’s suggestion as someone to build the defense around. Either way he would cost too much in assets and money. Definitely agree with this. It's not that he's not a great player (hope this year is an anomaly), it's just that his cost would be very very rich. And then his next contract where he wants what he's worth, no thanks.

Blue Heaven Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ottawa is going with a rebuild, why would they trade Karlsson for McD/Grabner? At the minimum it would cost the Rangers 2-3 young players plus picks. No way, shape or form would Ottawa want McD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Heaven Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I think McKenzie just tweeted that the cost for Brass, is a 1st, player, and prospect Edit: It was LeBrun :tweet: @PierreVLeBrun Senators talking to teams about Derick Brassard; price is believed to be a 1st RD pick, top prospect plus 3rd piece. Brassard has another year left on his deal next season at $5M AAV although it's $3.5 M in real cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 That's an absurd price for Brass. However, if he goes the UFA route after next season I would go after him as a No. 2 or 3 center, if we continue to be weak at the position. As for Karlsson, why even talk about Grabner? The Sens are out of the playoffs and have zero use for a UFA. I don't think any of us really have our hands around the degree to which Karlsson's injury/surgery have impacted his play or stand to do so in the future. I don't think we have the goods to trade for him. The Sens don't want McD. While Karlsson would highly likely sign a new contract with the Rangers, the Sens would likely get just one year out of McD, who they'd probably end up trading at the deadline next year.

NYR2711 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Karlsson isn't going to help. We can't trade away our players for a rebuild and then bring in more high priced free agents. Its pointless to trade away our guys then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfrancesa Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I guess the idea of rebuilding hasn’t sunk in for some. Rebuilds don’t start by trading away picks and your young assets for an aging star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Karlsson is having one of the worst seasons of his career and will cost a fortune. the guys on TSN radio said if they were a GM they'd be very very weary of signing him. He may not be fully healed -- and may never be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
