RichieNextel305 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Fast forward to about 1:10 in. Talks about Monahan being in play and about how speculation around the league with Chytil being down is a match there for the Rangers with Monahan. Also speculates how and why a deal between Gorton and Drury may be difficult due to what happened with Gorton and the Rangers in the past.

Lord Al Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 With the word going out in between periods that the Rangers are in the mix for Monahan, do you think they would also try to acquire Arber Xhekaj ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a rumor and going around that Drury pushed Dolan to fire Gorton. There was only one guy who said it, but I think it was Keith Olberman.

The Dude Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) We need a center to replace our own Mr. Glass. BTW Kreider probably gave him a concussion here. Edited January 28 by The Dude 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The Kreider thing is a joke obviously but you definitely could concuss somebody who was prone to concussions by doing what Kreider did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Monahan is going to be expensive. Having a great season, can slot in as a middle-6 center in a variety of roles, and at a very cap-friendly sub $2M deal so nobody needs to eat cap space by the deadline or get a third team involved. Would be a great pickup to since we have lost Chytil and Bonino flubbed, but would probably cost us Miller and will leave us with a hole to fill on defense.

I don’t see them having to give up Miller for Monahan. That would be really steep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddious Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 1 minute ago, RichieNextel305 said: Anyone with an Athletic subscription card to post what Staple says he believes are options for us? Centers (delete if I this is posting too much of the article mods) Quote Adam Henrique, Ducks: Makes the most sense as a very capable No. 3 center who can still produce, as he showed with two goals against the Rangers in Anaheim last weekend. He won’t make the Rangers demonstrably faster but he plays an all-around game and would not look out of place between Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko, giving the Rangers a threatening third line. The Ducks appear willing to eat some of his $5.825-million cap hit, which means the pool of buyers could be deep. He’s not worth a first-round pick, but a second might be worth giving up to make this happen. Quote Elias Lindholm, Flames: If Drury is going for it — and, as one Eastern Conference executive noted earlier this week, “why wouldn’t they be all-in when the East is so wide open?” — Lindholm might be worth paying a big price to acquire. The pending UFA is far out of the Rangers’ range on a contract so this would be strictly a rental and an expensive one at that, given that other teams may want to sign Lindholm after trading for him. A first-rounder is surely part of any ask by Calgary, but Lindholm would give the Rangers dangerous depth down the middle. Jack Roslovic, Blue Jackets: Has plenty of appeal for the Rangers since the 27-year-old plays center and right wing and offers some scoring pop to go with a decent third-line profile. He’s also a pending UFA who might not break the bank beyond this season and would definitely cost no more than a second-rounder now. Sean Monahan, Canadiens: An ideal fit in the mold of Henrique, but people briefed on the situation have been saying for weeks what Elliotte Friedman reported on Saturday night: There is no love lost between former Rangers GM Jeff Gorton, now the top Montreal executive, and Drury. There’s also the matter of Gorton having hired two of the longtime Rangers employees Drury has fired, scouting director Nick Bobrov and medical trainer Jim Ramsay. A person who talks to the Canadiens regularly said Montreal’s front office has believed for a while now that there’s no chance Drury even reaches out to Canadiens GM Kent Hughes. Perhaps that changes, but indications are both sides are looking elsewhere. Alexander Wennberg, Kraken: Another pending UFA who doesn’t bring the same sort of well-rounded game as Henrique but would help the Rangers. Cost might not be so high, though it seems Seattle still isn’t convinced that it’s selling. Yanni Gourde, Kraken: This one would take some creativity, given Gourde has another season at a $5.16-million cap hit after this. So the Rangers would have to send a contract the other way — those clamoring for Barclay Goodrow to be gone, take note — plus some assets to make this work. Farfetched, but Gourde has the right makeup to be a solid 3C for the Rangers. Kevin Hayes, Blues: Welcome back, old friend? Hayes was a popular Ranger and would be again five deadlines after he was dealt to the Jets for a first-round pick. The main problems here are the Blues are making a playoff push and Hayes has two years left at a $3.57-million cap hit. If the Blues could retain some salary it might work and give the Rangers a very capable third or fourth center for a bit of time. Morgan Frost, Flyers: A bit of a different option here as Frost, the 27th pick in the 2017 draft, has plenty of talent but not a very big fan in Flyers coach John Tortorella. The Rangers do need to get younger down the middle at some point, even if Chytil can return in the future. Frost would cost them a first, for sure, but he’s cost-controlled the next two years beyond this one. wingers: Quote Vladimir Tarasenko, Senators: Ottawawould have to retain salary on Tarasenko’s $5-million cap hit to make this one work, especially in tandem with another move for a center, but a reunion makes some sense. Tarasenko was a solid addition to Mika Zibanejad’s wing last season and will be motivated to earn himself a longer deal with a decent spring and playoff run. As long as there’s no other trade for a right wing coming up behind him this time, Tarasenko could be the answer to the right-side woes once again. Jordan Eberle, Kraken: Maybe Drury can fill both key forward spots in one deal by adding Eberle, still a solid top-six RW, to one of the centers above. Of the pending UFA forward crowd the Rangers could do a lot worse than Eberle, who had a couple of big playoff runs with the Islanders not too long ago. Anthony Duclair, Sharks: Ignore the hideous metrics, since everything San Jose does data-wise this season is colored a deep red on every chart. Duclair still has game-breaking speed and a more rounded game since he was a teenager fighting for ice time as a Ranger. Also wouldn’t cost much. Alexander Barabanov, Sharks: The sort of high-motor third-liner the Rangers don’t seem to possess. Has a bit of a scoring touch too. He’ll be one of those guys dealt at the deadline who ends up making a difference somewhere. Jason Zucker, Coyotes: Arizona is still in the playoff mix out West so this may finally be the year the Coyotes don’t sell everything that isn’t nailed down. On the other hand… Zucker is still productive and likes to get his nose dirty, a couple of attributes the Rangers could use. Frank Vatrano, Ducks: He’s headed to the All-Star Game and the Ducks aren’t exactly spilling over with talent, so moving him seems like a long shot. He worked well with Chris Kreider and Zibanejad two years ago, though, so it’s worth a call from Drury at the very least. Brock McGinn, Ducks: A guy who scored some big goals in Carolina and Pittsburgh and has done nothing in Anaheim. He has another year left at $ 2.75 million so this would be one of the cheaper adds the Rangers could make asset-wise, but maybe not a guy you want to be committed to for another season. Patrick Kane, Red Wings: Just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersIn7 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 With Chytil being done for the season, it’s actually lined up for them to go and get both a 3C and a top-6 RW. Theyll have to do some maneuvering but it’s doable. Just go get Tank and Monahan. It’s there to be had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For him to slot in at 3c on this team - and yes, he'd slot in behind Trocheck at this point - and to get PP2 time? That's a really heavy price.

I'm not into getting Lindholm as a rental for a feast of players...forget it. I think you hit on a good idea with Hayes, G man. I'd take Hayes from St. Louis and Duclair from the Sharks back on the cheap, and I think that would give us some good balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
