nyckrash Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 If I ran the Rangers (and had the D to give up)....I'd do my best to fleece Winnipeg of one of their centers at this moment. - NYCKrash....LGR!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They need centers, too. Remember... they traded for Hayes at the deadline... guys dont like playing with Little, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They don't have a quality center to acquire (that they would give up in exchange for D help). At best, I think you're offering them Brendan Smith for whatever paltry return they offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Literally the only thing we can do with them is offer them Smith and say you can have him for nothing hoping a 1m retention in salary makes them bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They have like $5M+ in available cap right now. If the Rangers simply took back something to offset somewhat, you could effectively just move him to give them a warm body. Letestu. Bourque. Something in that realm.

I feel like they would try to trade us Perrault for Smith which leaves us in the same cap situation unless they retained salary....or maybe Staal? Might be slightly more interest based on pedigree.

Keirik Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Wait, is this a legit rumor or just a random topic? Sent from my SM-N900T using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk It’s just a discussion based on Winnipeg’s depleted d-corps. Been discussed many times recently pretty much with every team that has extra D to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Pionk played 26 minutes and scored, tonight. He always seems to find himself in a position to play Norris level minutes despite possesing a Eddie Shore award pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The only center they have that would be of interest is Scheifele, and that's the definition of a non starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyckrash Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Some GM in the league will take advantage of them right now. I wish Wheeler was available and we had some D to give up for him. The way he played against the Rangers was impressive. Literally the only thing we can do with them is offer them Smith and say you can have him for nothing hoping a 1m retention in salary makes them bite. - NYCKrash....LGR!!

Future Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 You can't trade Skjei yet. He gets at least a full year with Trouba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be slightly more interest based on pedigree. Perrault is interesting, though I think we'd have to sweeten the pot (and I doubt whether or not they'd have any interest in Smith at all). Perrault would get a good get because he's an upgrade to Strome/Namest while filling the same role. The problem would be that he has a higher cap hit and isn't a UFA, so he's a lot more difficult to trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Perreault feels like a slightly more talented version of Strome to me. He's clearly not a 2C either, so why would he be the guy they want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To trade at the deadline too, I mean. He's not a long-term guy but would help you get more of a return for a guy like Smith, potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I see. Move Smith for Perreault, then move Perreault for futures — two birds, one stone. Not bad. But can't you just do that with Strome right now?

But can't you just do that with Strome right now? Yes. AND do it with Perrault. I initially had two thoughts going on at the same time. If you flip Smith for Perrault, and trade Strome, you have a slightly better lineup, plus whatever return Strome gets now. At the deadline, you flip Perreault also. It's basically just adding another - as much as I hate this term lol - asset, while offloading Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Solid plan on paper. Time to give Chevvy a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I don't understand any of this. 1) They don't have cap space, their cap space is just being held for Byfuglien. 2) If that guy doesn't return to hockey, why the fuck would they want Smith? They could use the space on 50 different candidates. Brendan Smith would not be one of those candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsrangers Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Same. Just don't see any value in Smith especially for a team looking to upgrade their D. Now if there is a team looking for a guy with a pulse maybe he's a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
