LindG1000 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Wonder why or wonder if? It definitely isn't. We don't have a single legitimate C prospect. Chytil is that guy for all intents and purposes. From there, I think the next one on the list is Morgan Barron, then Henriksson/Vierling. I think it's more that the 1c stand-in will be the 2021 1st or the guy we take with the 2021 1st.

BrooksBurner Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 They dont need a potential #1C, they have Cozens. You can expect them to want Chytil (C Prospect that can play now) and/or Strome (temporary stop gap) If they want Strome instead of Chytil, even better. Chytil will be cheaper for some time, and probably has a higher ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its not going to be "Strome or Chytil" It's more like Strome + Miller or Chytil + Robertson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Well its not going to be "Strome or Chytil" It's more like Strome + Miller or Chytil + Robertson I would do either combo in a package, without blinking really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Lothbrok Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I'd be very, very hesitant to move Chytil, even for Eichel. I know he's not the player Eichel is, but in just a few games back he's already reestablished his importance to the team, and we're hurting for future centers as it is. Strome doesn't factor into long term plans IMO. Chytil is gonna be a special player. Same goes for Miller. I just don't see how moving him makes us better.

Well, Eichel is better than Chytil and will likely always be. Miller can be replaced by Lundkvist. Eichel + Zib makes the team one of the deepest in the league over the next 5+ years (so long as Zib is eventually resigned). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're prospect pool is weak for potential top-6 Cs. They have a large group of future bottom 6 centers. Howden, Barron (bc people like to include him as a C), Veirling, Tarnstrom, Edstrom, Henriksson, AHL group of Brodzinski, Newell, Richards, Khoderenko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Well, Eichel is better than Chytil and will likely always be. Miller can be replaced by Lundkvist. Eichel + Zib makes the team one of the deepest in the league over the next 5+ years (so long as Zib is eventually resigned). Does Lundkvist play the left? That's would be a nice solve considering if he comes over next year you still have Fox and Trouba ahead of him on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Miller is just so interesting, it's hard to believe they would deal him. He's shown some cracks lately, in fact, he's getting torched on transition, and selling high on hope and promise may be a good idea, but if he pans out...

Eichel + Zib makes the team one of the deepest in the league over the next 5+ years (so long as Zib is eventually resigned). That's what I'm looking at. Eichel/Zib 1/2 punch. Figure the rest out. Right now, if I were guessing, I would estimate a Zibanejad extension around 7.5-8m AAV, which is a nice discount from the 10-10.5m I thought he was on track for. That's more in line with very good 2c money rather than 1c money. Between that and Eichel's 10 million, I would have no problem investing 18 million combined in our top 2 centers.

Dunny Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Eichel/Zib/Strome you'd be set for 6-8 years. Just gotta cut back on Strome's ice time and suppress his numbers. He'll understand. You may also want to hope the NHL does away with face-offs and moves to a corner kick system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I wouldn't trade Miller...until maybe he's 36 years old. That kid is only a few games experience into his NHL career, and he's already playing very good NHL defense. He's going to make more mistakes along the way, as does every rookie, but overall, I'm very pleased with him, and I think he should have a very long and successful career as a Ranger.

RodrigueGabriel Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Not at all. Center is the position to invest in. I still gotta wonder why they traded up for Braden Schneider when there were some pretty good centers left on the board - unless he was always to be trade chattel.

Long live the King Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The longer this goes... Do not trade: - Laf - Kakko - Chytil - Kravtsov - Fox - Miller - Schneider - Lundkvist - Shesty This is the core going forward, along with Panarin. The want to choose from other prospects and picks great. If not, see ya later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I still gotta wonder why they traded up for Braden Schneider when there were some pretty good centers left on the board - unless he was always to be trade chattel. JD and JG talked extensively this summer that they like his game, his style of play. "All of the playoff teams" had "guys like this" making an impact every game. Even in the draft room, prior to the pick, they had their eyes on him and moved up to get him. Even with their later picks, they were 'safe' with their center selections and avoided those boom or bust guys. At the time of the draft, Strome was still unsigned. They said they had looked at moving him (in a package) for, what we can assume, is a younger C. Regardless, they did not seem to be focused on drafting a C to come in and make an impact anytime soon.

BrooksBurner Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Braden Schneider is not only fit what this team needs, there's also a spot for him after they trade Lundkvist in the package for Eichel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 If we're a lottery pick in the draft depending how high the pick is, then I'd consider trading for Eichel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
