it alleviates the logjam the Rangers have with young defenseman (one that needs a new contract) gives the backup job to Shestyrokin and moves the Rangers up to a premier pick

I think you are still missing the change I made.

Your original offer is dog poop.

The log jam is on the left side though. I don’t mind moving up but not giving up TonyD to do it. Fox is a great prospect but hasn’t played a single NHL game, Shattenkirk is worse than Hamirlik and Rykov is a bit away from the NHL.

it's pretty amazing the rapid ascent of Tony D in everyone's minds

I'd trade him in the right deal, but I'd just just about anyone in the right deal

I’m not saying he’s untouchable, but RHD are probably our our weakest point depth wise. Doesn’t make sense to trade from a weakness to add let’s say Zegras and create even more of log jam. That’s also not to say we shouldn’t try and move up, just maybe with different pieces.

Buch, Skjei etc. Swap Skjei with TonyD and I would do that deal.

really the only reason I brought up Tony D was because detroit fan brought up Yzerman and Yzerman drafted Tony D, didn't really think more beyond it than that

Way to go, you created a 2 page argument about trading a player for no reason

Yea this is nuts....28 picks in 11 days. I hope all the GMs have picks ready quick.

Also what if a big trade happens before the draft, Jan is going to need to post about that stuff.

Going to be busy blog season

Give me more

20 58 Buch for 7th and we draft Zegras. You guys doing that?

it's tough call, probably, I definitely like Zegras, it really depends on how the draft is going

I've said before, I am going to be calling for the Rangers to trade up the whole goddamn draft

- nyrangers9479

I don't hate it, but it does seem like a lot upfront. Think about it, you can still get a really good player at 20, plus Buch, plus a dart throw at 58.

I think it depends on how close you think the this team is. If you think we're in the playoff hunt now, why give up on Buch? If you think we're 3+ years away, you can sustain the lag of getting Zegras.

Maybe instead of 58 I'd try to see if I can cough up something later and then use both seconds to try and sneak back into the first round. But this is a good proposal.

I would do this , but only if I know for sure we can sign Panarin...

well no chance of that, draft is June 21st and the window to talk to UFA's doesn't start until June 28th

Lets not be naive here. You and I both know that JD spoke to Panarin and his agent at length while still with Columbus and he has to have a STRONG idea what they are thinking, what their $$$ numbers are etc. He can't come out and publicly state this to the press, but he has to KNOW what the Rangers odds are.

Wouldn’t it behoove the teams to agree with drafting AFTER July 1st? I guess it’s a CBA thing? Probably more likely to see players traded

Jan is gone fishing until Tuesday.



Buffalo and Colorado have come to an agreement on a trade pending Commissioner approval.
Buffalo is now on the clock, pick is in by Tuesday morning (ETA)

IF we sign Panarin losing Buch isn’t that big a deal. If we miss on Panarin Buch is more important. You have to assume one of Chytil/Andersson/Howden get moved to wing. I think Howden is the perfect 3C, Chytil can play on the wing but is Andersson ready to be a 2C? I don’t think so yet but we can start the season with Strome as the 2C and see how things go.
