all sorts of bloggers speculating about the Rangers moving up to 2nd overall, trading with Carolina.

To me, if they pulled that off, it's gotta be for Zadina to pair him with Chytil

One of the specs postulated Zibanejad and the #9 pick for the second overall pick

after Buffalo takes Dahlin, it's pretty much going to be intense waiting for Bettman to get up there and say "we have a trade to announce"

Going to be either Zib or Hayes. Book it

Well that is interesting especially if we sign Taveras to replace him

That is crazy and scary...guess that guy didn't have many friends there.

Certainly, the fine human being who just stood there recording the scene wouldn't be counted as a friend! WTF. You can't put the phone down and help someone being mauled by a (frank)ing bear?!?!?!?!

edit: now that I watch that with the sound, I realize that there were plenty of people there. And not a single one who would try to help the poor guy.

Won’t know that is the case until after the deal. Are you willing to take that risk?

I would trade Zib. He isn't a number 1. Great on the PP, below average 5 on 5. Defensively stinks. No problem trading him at all even if JT isn't in the picture

ya when things are going well for him hes pretty good but the minute he gets banged up he becomes sorta invisible

concussions are mounting a bit too

Well lets not forget the guy who actually thought it would be a great idea to take a selfie with an animal that can (frank)ing eat you.

Oh absolutely...speculation would be running rampant should Taveras actually make it to July 1

And then there's a glaring hole at Center, can't make that move

Kreider likes BBQ

I agree, I don't like the idea of trading Zibanajed, although if it's to make room for Tavares contract I get it

and if they want Hayes for the number 2, see ya later Hayes. Would prefer Zib, but I wouldn't pass that up.

I think Carolina would be dumb to make any move for number 2. But hey why not

Kreider aint going any where. Rangers are light on wingers

People going ape poop trying to validate Miller on his only goal of the series, he was invisible for most of it

Of course, even then I'd trade Zucc or try and find someone to entice enough to take Staal

whatever, the Rangers have 4 major assets from that trade that will take years to evaluate.

Everyone reasonable knows Tampa won that trade in the short term

hell, even Montreal won the Gomez-McDonagh trade in the short term

Crazy thing is that both teams can win the trade. Tampa was going for it, so they traded assets. If they Win the Cup, and the trade looks great for Tampa, it also looks better for the Rangers. The teams had much different goals in making that trade and the Rangers don't lose the trade if Tampa wins the Cup.

On the Zibby and 9th rumor. I was actually wondering last week whether the Rangers would trade Zibby and the 9th to move up to number 3 (as the Habs need a center).

doesn't feel that would be quite enough - guessing a late 1st or a 'top' prospect as well...
