Phil Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 ?But I can guarantee you this: They?ll go back into the Erik Karlsson well if he?s available at the draft. At least check in and see if there?s a way they could facilitate it. And if John Tavares goes to unrestricted free agency, I don?t doubt for a minute that the New York Rangers? ?Because at the end of the day, New York is New York and the Rangers and the Rangers. And there?s a lot of teams ? the Philadelphia Flyers have been doing it, the Vancouver Canucks are trying to do it, the Detroit Red Wings are trying to do it ? we talk about it a lot. The old ?one foot in, one foot out.? So you?re rebuilding on one side, and you?ve got another fork in the road where you?re trying to bring in veteran talent to stem the tide and keep the team relatively competitive to sell tickets and create a buzz in your market.? https://www.fanragsports.com/ny-rangers/mckenzie-new-york-is-new-york-and-rangers-are-rangers/ Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
torontonyr Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Only way Karlsson makes sense is if he re-signs. A rental makes 0 sense to me.
Phil Posted April 9, 2018 Author Posted April 9, 2018 Agreed. They'd get a full season out of him at his current rate and probably negotiate a long-term deal during the season. He's eligible to sign January 1st, 2019. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
Fatfrancesa Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 No thank you. Trying to rebuild. Rangers are going to have to trade a lot of young assets or picks for him. Makes no sense

He's eligible to sign January 1st, 2019. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk You would need some form assurance. That's a huge trade to go in on otherwise. We'd need to give up what we got for McDonagh ++
josh Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Fitting in those three will be tough. Would need to add more to Ottawa to get them to take a contract (Spooner) but even then, that's what we got for Nash... so we're adding more. Would have to look at a secondary trade to unload more cap. Maybe Montreal bites on Zib or Hayes while switching 1sts. Might still have to get picks/prospects for Zuccarello. LLTK mentioned most of this in another thread.
Ozzy Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Lets just rebuild and find our own Karlsson instead of dealing away these coveted picks we shopped for. We're probably not going to be a contender for a little bit, so Karlsson makes no sense to me.
Phil Posted April 9, 2018 Author Posted April 9, 2018 Karlsson is the one I have the least interest in, for exactly that reason. I'm all in on signing Tavares AND Kovalchuk, though. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
ThirtyONE Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I don't see any reason to get Karlsson. The price is going to be guys we're looking to retain ourselves plus the picks we need.
Ozzy Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I can see Tavares, because #1 Centers are a real novelty. JT is a very good one at that. (Too bad Hank wouldn't go for a restructure). I can go either way on Kovie, Phil. I think his best days may be behind him, but he can be very useful with experience for these kids coming up....A good teacher, so to speak. I feel the same about Staal. He can really be a help to some of these kids like Pionk and Gilmour. I'm more interested in who we get to hold the reins of this puppy going ahead. Your boy Keefe's name keeps popping up everywhere I look!

Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk I dont know.. You could see a bunch of teams extremely hesitant to trade for this rental, knowing the cost, and knowing he could be gone in a season... and his recent history of injuries. Teams without assets will be more hesitant. So, you think that is has to be teams close enough to contender to make the deal (or be the NYRs) and have the assets that Ottawa would be looking for. We just happen to have a ton of picks, a bunch of prospects on the verge, and a bunch of young middle 6 RFAs. We cant keep all the players we have, as is...
Phil Posted April 9, 2018 Author Posted April 9, 2018 I know, but it's still a little early to bail on them. Unless it's a Sather special where half the guys going back are warm bodies, I'm just not ready for that kind of trade. To me you're looking at Skjei, NYR 2018 1st (if it's not a top-3 pick), one of 2018 2nd's, plus add as needed. It's a lot.

Vodka Drunkenski Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I hope they don?t become the same ole Rangers again

Sod16 Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Lets just rebuild and find our own Karlsson The last time we found our own Karlsson was when we found Brian Leetch, 32 years ago. It might be a bit of a wait...
Ozzy Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 The last time we found our own Karlsson was when we found Brian Leetch, 32 years ago. It might be a bit of a wait... I'd rather wait than trade away the future, Sod. I'll be patient...I waited 23 years for the first Cup, and presently at 24 right now since '94. ;)
Guest Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Only way Karlsson makes sense is if we signed Tavares already. Since he'll likely go at the draft, that's not going to happen. If for some reason Karlsson hasn't been moved after July 1st and the Rangers signed Tavares, then I'd make a play at Karlsson.
The Dude Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Karlsson makes zero sense, since tje Rangers will win the lottery and get Dahlin.
SaveByRichter35 Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Karlsson makes zero sense, since tje Rangers will win the lottery and get Dahlin. Quoting to throw that positive energy out there
josh Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Karlsson makes zero sense, since tje Rangers will win the lottery and get Dahlin. Skjei, Smith, Spooner, 28th overall, TB 2nd 2019
Pete Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Skjei, Smith, Spooner, 28th overall, TB 2nd 2019 Would rather trade this for Dahlin then Karlsson. But this could get us MacKinnon.
torontonyr Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Would rather trade this for Dahlin then Karlsson. But this could get us MacKinnon. PLZ GOD NO NOT MACKINNON
torontonyr Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 why not? idk I was being hyperbolic for no reason. He's having an incredible year after above average previous seasons. We'd be buying high. Way high.
