RodrigueGabriel Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I can't believe Stone/Ottawa are going to take it to the last day, jerking the entire league around their pathetic shitshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodrigueGabriel Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 They're trying to sign him, so not really surprised.I know. I'm just impatient. Stone should just make a goddamn decision so everyone else can get on with it. How much more genuine leverage can you gain grinding it down to the last minute - relative to all the other business that's gotta get done? This deadline ought to be subtitled, "Escape From Ottawa."

siddious Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I'm not sure what's half-assed about it. They need to draft top end talent or trade for very young top end talent. Otherwise it?s just going to be 10 years of what we just went through.

Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Well, that might be true but they can't move Hank and Hank is the only reason they're not in dead last -- ROW as proof. To say they're half-assing the rebuild though is false. They've traded almost everyone who has any value and have loaded up on picks. They've committed to tearing it down. Aside from putting the hartford wolfpack on the ice, there's not much else they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams don’t take rebuilding lightly because it takes time and pain. Every team in the league wants young top end talent and they don’t give it away because the rangers need it too. Teams aren’t trading it for rentals either at least not what we are offering. You want a top prospect, well then it’s kreider who goes. Want more than one than it’s Zibanejad. It takes years because it takes that long to draft it and develop it. They will try to augment the rebuild with signings and trades but contending is going to require drafting and devolving. They were already behind the eight ball because the cupboard was left so bare. Three years was never realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Take a look at all the recent trades: NJD, ANA, OTT got at least one placement player and a pick. They got real value for their trades What did we get: Two picks and DAL will not resign Zucc one his contract expires. Gorton got hosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Ottawa is going to suck for a long long time. They got a shit ton of picks in the next 3 drafts :tweet: @brianlawton9 Considering the @Senators still have Mark Stone on their roster the picks are already starting to pile up. 5 firsts, 7 2nds, , & 4 3rds over next 3 drafts top 3 rnds. Good time to bolster the scouting staff! Should be fun to watch this play out! @NHLNetwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So are the Rangers, who, as of right now, have five picks in the first three rounds this year. Plus what comes for McQuaid (third), Hayes (first), and Namestnikov (second). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus what comes for McQuaid (third), Hayes (first), and Namestnikov (second). Two are on expiring UFA contracts, Namestnikov will have next year before he is a UFA so we need to get what value we can in order to gain draft stock. It all depends on the draft itself https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got real value for their trades What did we get: Two picks and DAL will not resign Zucc one his contract expires. Gorton got hosed. Njd got Carrick a proven ahl defenseman nothing you want in a rebuild, Anaheim made a hockey trade by dealing montaur, he is not a ufa, Ottawa got Duclair in the Dzingel trade and picks, again who wants Duclair as part of your rebuild? Duchene was the top player in the board so obviously he brings back the best return. The rangers took the best deal they could get. Would people be happier with just losing him for nothing after this busted season ends. Those useless picks we just got can also bring back a decent player in a trade at the draft. Remember what we got for hagelin four years ago? We have to let the rebuild play out. You have to judge it by year. They are still tearing it down, so they really haven’t got past step 1 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 no matter what, people are going to bitch. People bitched about JT Miller who Tampa is now actively trying to shop. They bitched about the return for Nash who is now retired. Bitched about Stephan and raanta. It’s never ending. I’d rather get a 2nd and 3rd than a 2nd and some career AHLer but it’s not as sexy when there’s no name attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The type of prospect you could reasonably expect to get would be no more a sure thing than a 3rd round draft pick. Most of the prospects that would be available in a deal like that would typically be 3rd/4th rounders themselves who have yet to pan out. I think the Rangers are just as well off picking a guy they like in the draft instead of inheriting someone elses midlevel prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 It was mentioned on McKenzies pod. Think it was LeBrun. Iirc he didn't say they were actively shopping him, but that he's a guy they'd package to make a deal happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked what we got back for macdonagh but felt we could of done better. Didnt lose much sleep over Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfrancesa Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Mcd and miller are completely different. They were not ufas therefore deadline day didn’t apply to them. Mcd if available at this deadline would have been the top rental and fetched more than he did last year with Karlsson avsilable. Miller was a rfa and young enough to be a part of he next core. Trading him is fine but it seems like both were moved on Tampa’s terms not ours. The ufas on the other hand have to be traded if they aren’t going to resigned. Even if the return isn’t as you hoped it would be. The market dictates the return. The worst case is not trading them and getting nothing for them.
