Slobberknocker Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 you would think that the goal will be to move up in the 1st if the lottery doesnt go there way. or at least parlay one of those 2nds to get another 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/rangers Didn't we get Ottawa's 2018 2nd round pick when we traded Brass for Zibs? Where did that pick go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRangers723 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Never mind. We traded that one for Smith. Yeah that's stings right now. That pick would have been like 34-36 on top of the 2 2nds we already have and most likely the two firsts we will have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Brassard commanded a 1st from Pitts. Still kind of smarting that we didn't get a 1st for Grabner, whatever the story with the Russian might be. Wouldn't mind getting Brass back if he goes UFA next year. Not like we're stacked at center.

Brassard is - a center - not a rental - a more proven socrer - a stud in the playoffs - not comparable to Grabner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The goalie that Ottawa is getting is also probably of higher market value than the prospect we got in the Grabner deal. While Brassard has another year on his contract, his $5m cap hit is reaching a high enough level where that year may not, or should not, add much value to him. When you look at TB, Pitts, Boston and Washington at the moment, one wonders why the Devils are going for a rental, they're not getting past those teams.

-ERIK- Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Great so Brassard wins a cup this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 He's a one-trick pony rental. As good as he's been I just don't see any team giving up a 1st in a super deep draft for 20 games of the guy Cheap one trick goal scoring pk expert? Feeling like the Rangers kinda lost an opportunity to get value for a guy that should be in high demand. I feel more of this coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're too hung up on the picks, both are ancillary in these trades to the prospects. In short though, 2nd + Rykov is a much better return than just a late first.

paddynyc Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/rangers I want to puke every time I look at that Staal contract. :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Plus there's a fairly good chance Pitts' 1st ends up being 28-31 and the Devil's second is 46-50. Not that big a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short though, 2nd + Rykov is a much better return than just a late first. A late 1st and early 2nd are pretty damn close....also getting a prospect with high potential is a pretty decent return for Grabby. I'm cool with that deal, even though I'm surprised NJ parted with what was seemingly one of their prized prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Some info on Rykov from BSB. Ewww. Scouting report makes it sound like a wet dream for AV. AV is staying. FUUUUUUCK. I don't like the thought process about how hes played in the KHL, so tgat means hrs good. The same was thought about Bereglazov. He couldn't make the roster and jetted back to the KHL. The KHL experiment hasn't worked for the Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly Devils fans are not happy that they traded Rykov away so he isn't this bust prospect you think he is. As much as you want to deny it we got a fair deal maybe even a slight overpayment from jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOBODY was giving us a first rounder unless it was a total fleece job I have a feeling teams will get better value for lesser players over tje weekend. Holden yielded a 3rd. Grabner is worth more than a 2nd and a throw in. Grabner is the type of player teams are dying to add to their playoff roster. Hes a super utility player. He does an important role incredibly well and adds more than just that role. Sorry. Im slightly disappointed in the return. The pick is good. The prospect is underwhelming and a reach.

Not really true. Grabner had plenty of interest BUT you are dreaming if you think you were getting a bigger return. I mean Pittsburgh was interested BUT theyw erent giving up their first and had no prospect that was any good other than the goalie. Not sure what you have against Rykov. Like I said he was highly valued b the devils fans and he is playing in the KHL now and doing pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueShirtsEnforcer Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It?s a fair deal overall, even though a deal I personally didn?t wanna see happen. Only because I really like Grabner, he?s a great two way player and extremely fast on his feet. Yes he?s streaky and has his moments, but he?s been one of the few assets to the team. Of course we all understand the need to add fresh and young blood to the team and you need to leverage where you can. It just sucks to see Grabner go, but I think he?ll do well in Jersey.

Bereglazov was an undrafted free agent the rangers gave a camp invite to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anymore it would have been highway robbery by us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
