torontonyr Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) No retention. (Nvm, 50%?) Pass first center on a pass first team. He's a sex symbol. I don't know how to feel about this. Edited March 6 by torontonyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe your description of top dollar is a little bit different than mine. Firstly he's paying market value, secondly this draft is crap.

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 also if we're weighing the scales Adding a piece for a potential cup run vs. draft picks who, if they amount to even playing an NHL game, they wouldnt be there for 3-4 years, you pay the picks every time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Hard to complain, he's fine, and the cost was fine. I'm happy. If Vatrano is the other shoe to drop, though, well, that would suck. He blows. Vinny Littieri is on waivers, basically the same player, I might even like Vinny more. Vatrano is just a classic garbage player, on a garbage team playing garbage minutes against garbage goalies. Puts up 28 goals lol The trap is so obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fine disagreeing on the price, but there’s no reason to act dumbfounded about why someone isn’t enamored with the price and/or the player selection(s). He’s not done yet. Still reserving full judgement, but I don’t like the optics because it’s looking pretty likely another move will be made and it will probably involve the 1st and unless it’s Guentzel it’s likely to be an overpay with what’s left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m honestly tired of hearing draft predictions. Weak draft, strong draft, Kakko was a blue chip 2oa, Lafreniere was a better 1oa prospect than Hughes. Yada yada yada. It’s hard to care about what any pundits are saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 5 minutes ago, Dunny said: Nobody knows what this draft is, the perception may be so, but anybody saying that with certainty is simply being foolish. Nobody knows what the players will develop into, however most agree there's a huge talent drop off after maybe the first 15 picks. That second rounder is likely netting you a third round talent in any other draft. Most agreed that Lafreniere and Kakko were things they aren't. That said, since nobody has a crystal ball, all you can do is go with the forecast. Don't be the guy that complains about the winter weather alert after the fact when we only got 4 in of snow... They're only reporting with the models say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know that a guy picked in the late first round is usually a coinflip to become an NHL regular, a guy drafted in the second is more of a 3-in-10 chance....like....we're not selling ironclad things here. We're selling hope. And to be fair - yeah, sometimes teams fuck up enough in tandem that David Pastrnak is sitting there in the early 20s. But that's not the normal case and those situations are pumping UP the outcome data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodka Drunkenski Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 49 minutes ago, Pete said: Not at all. It's a good piece of business. They have a first rounder to trade for their right wing now. The fourth rounder is in next year's draft. They just acquired a defensive minded center who should help stabilize the lineup and he could be sneaky good offensively. It's not sexy but it's smart. There aren't going to be any blockbusters for the Rangers this year. really like this deal, we need this type of player going against the top teams players 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you know that second-round pick is Will Cuylle or Ryan Lindgren, that's another story. But right now, that pick is merely a 17 year old with a 16% chance of making the NHL and sticking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Drunkenski Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 The time for this team is now, they look around the league and see what they need to compete and combat other top teams. Making it hard for them offensively is what this trade does. Good job by Drury on focusing on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
