rumor/report: Kraken to Select Colin Blackwell; NYR to Acquire Mark Giordano in Deal?

 

Assuming salary is retained, this would be a great pick up. I don't know who goes the other way though.

Send Hajek's ass packing.

Fox/Giordano could be fun.

I cant see over the blood but I am pretty sure Lindgren's face just got sad.

This would involve our pick or a more NHL ready body going to Seattle.

 

It's something like

 

SEA receives:

1st

x

Selection of Colin Blackwell

 

NYR Receive:

Mark Giordano @50%

Ha! Well, I think he'd make a really good pairing with just about anyone in the lineup. Lindgren could certainly se him as well.

Even if they get Giordano at 50% salary retention, isn't giving up the first a bit of an overpayment still, especially at this stage of his career? I don't know.

It's a mid-first in a very weak draft.

Were having this exact debate in the offseason thread

True. It will get traded either way, maybe better for a Tarasenko or part of a deal to move up for a higher pick in the first round to use in a deal for Eichel.

Oh. On my way! lol

No. He's still a tremendous player and leader. He's everything they're looking for minus overt, brute physicality.

 

This type of move would compare to when they picked up MSL or Shanahan.

only reason i'd want to keep it is to take the high risk/reward on Raty

Yeah, fair, good comparisons. I wouldn't be too disappointed if they had to give up the first necessarily. It's a perfect fit.

Send Hajek's ass packing.

 

Seconded!!!! :thumbs:

From all the rumors, Rick Carpinello, Elliott Friedman, others + my source.

Rangers really busy weekend?

 

To SEA: Hajek, Gauthier + 3rd round pick

To NYR: Giordano(sal retained)

 

To OTT: Strome + 1st

To NYR: Ott 1st

 

To BUF: Ott 1st, Buch, Chytil and Jones

To NYR: Eichel.

I’m very much for getting Giordano. Checks a lot of boxes for us. I’d love to see if we can get him with some retention, but even if we don’t, this is the final year of his contract. He is by no means washed up; still a very effective player and would be a tremendous add to the blue line.

He's also not near done yet. Barring a total collapse/misfit, I could see them keeping him considering they were pretty hard after Chara.

For sure. And obviously his next contract won’t be near what this one was, as it was signed during his peak years.

 

I can see him, if he has a good season whether it be here or elsewhere, signing his next deal similar to the one we gave Boyle (who obviously was a shell of himself) for 2 years around an AAV of $4 Million.

 

We should know in the next little bit. Has anyone besides Carp reported on it?

For a second I thought you were talking about Brian Boyle.. almost had to put you on my ignore list

 

 

I don't believe anyone else has reported on the Giordano situation but Carp is pretty reliable

He'll be 38 years old in October. If this does happen, I sure hope he has some gas left in his tank.

Unless his legs fall off his body, he should be fine. He was great last year.

Dan Boyle like, ugh. If I recall that didn't end too well.
