BrooksBurner Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Wishful thinking by Brooksie. I doubt it is on Gorton's radar screen. After all, there were not even any reports of them making an offer to Zucc last summer or before the deadline. Last summer it made sense to trade his expiring contract for assets as a rental at the next deadline rather than re-sign, even if they wanted to (or still want to) bring him back this summer.

RJWantsTheCup Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Most definitely without a question choice A. I would entertain bringing back Hayes way before Zucc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Zucc and Hayes were as good as gone this year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I can't even believe this is a question, A. But then you trade a first for Zucc 3 years from now when the Rangers need depth scoring before a playoff run. Hopefully Zucc's mom dies that year.

Phil Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Bring him back. He'll be good until his late 30's just like MSL was. He works hard and is the best possible role model for all of our young guys. Also Zib is better with him. Counter: DAL re-signs him to a reasonable four-year deal (due to no State tax) with an NMC and full trade protection. He promptly shits the bed, is made a healthy scratch and tells DAL prior to the deadline he will only accept a trade back to the Rangers (a la Avery/MSL) who re-acquire him for pennies on the dollar and refuse to honor his trade protection in the process. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 assuming kravtsev and kakko make the club, there's no room for him I think they may surprise people and view Kakko as a center. Curious to see what they say after they draft him. I mean he's 18 and has everything you want, why wouldn't you just make him a center? He excelled there a the few games he played this season.

CBrowningPI Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Zucc may just sign with the white wizard to go on a quest to Mordor. Sent from my SM-N900T using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 assuming kravtsev and kakko make the club, there's no room for him Panarin / Zibanejad / Buchnevich Zuccarello / Chytil / Kakko Lemieux / Howden / Kravtsov Andersson / Nieves / Fast Kreider traded. Namestnikov traded. Vesey traded. Strome traded or bought out for pennies on the dollar. Connor Brickley isn't an NHL player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he's 18 and has everything you want, why wouldn't you just make him a center? He excelled there a the few games he played this season. He put up better stats*, but his overall game wasn’t the same. Both Kaapo and Kravtsov put up their best stats playing LW, according to Stat boy Steven I like both on the RW more, but could see them playing anything. Hopefully “we” give them appropriate time to adjust to the nhl game and let them develop naturally into the most successful players they can become Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 i'd rather have Kreider there on LW That's fine. I'm just showing how it's possible to make room (by cutting the fat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 personally, at this stage, I'd take Kreider over Zucc any day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I'd take Hayes over both. He solves the 2C issue. He solves a ton of issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be upset if they added Panarin and re-signed Hayes at all. Panarin Zibanejad Buchnevich Chytil Hayes Kakko Lemieux Strome Kravtsov Andersson Howden Fast I wouldn't be upset at all with that group going into next season.

I'm starting to feel that blood flow again!!! :devil: I would be completely OK with those lines. The defense on the other hand.... Rome wasn't built in a day, Sharpie!! But I think Fox is going to be a vital piece of the puzzle. We definitely have some work to do back there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Everything I've read about Fox and Miller makes me extremely happy. They don't make the club next year though, right? Fox makes it easily unless he has a terrible camp. They didn’t pay two 2nds for him to spend a year in Hartford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
