Rangers have moved their practice back a half hour until 11:30.

John Davidson will address the media at 11, so some kind of news must be coming... #NYR

Rangers will not sit back after the Isles made a big move.

- niteislander

No she didn't.

You only do that if hanks going to toronto for nylander or somewhere as hes been the franchise
- Upstate_isles

.....or Kreider

Couldn’t Trochek have been traded to a Western team?
- potvin05

Would have been nice.

I wonder if there would be any takers for Greiss at this stage. I think it's highly unlikely that we'd actually trade him however since he's a free agent next year and hasn't been all that great of late it would be interesting to see what we could get for him
- keaner17

They can't move Greiss unless they go make another move for a goalie and given what we just paid I can't see them using assets on that. Greiss has historically been streaky, he'll be fine.

I would not mind it if the Isles had a goalie in Bridge that was reliable as a backup.

(frank)ing eh rights.

Feeling amongst league executives is Dorion got a "great" return for Pageau. Two sides had talks on the weekend and #Sens tabled a new offer Sunday but weren't able to bridge gap. As @TSNBobMcKenzie noted today Pageau wanted a five year deal in excess of $5 million per-season.

That's exactly Josh Bailey's cap hit and one more year than he's currently signed for...

now Trade Hoffman to the Isles please..
- niteislander

Now that would be insane

.....or Kreider
- eichiefs9

Yea but hank was the franchise for years kreider wasnt

@vzmercogliano
, #NYR president John Davidson to address media at 11...

My guess is they signed Kreider

Huh...

So would y'all be cool with that? Swapping Bailey for Pageau?

You and I are all over trading Bailey chief.

In a second. Wahlstrom should be ready next year.

Pageau is three years younger and, at the absolute worst, about equal to Bailey in terms of talent. Certainly a more well-rounded player. I'd make that move all day. They could probably recoup at least a 2nd for Bailey at the draft, probably more.

That's what I was thinking, too.

Fair. Tough but fair.

Heck yes hopefully Bailey is finally gone this offseason.

- ses111

True.

I don’t think the Isles sent an official press release on the trade yet. Maybe they are working on a deal and will release it all at once. Fingers Crossed.

True.
- Wildschwein

Have to think Lou's idea is signing Pageau and getting some picks back by moving Bailey and opening a spot for Wahlstrom.

With 24 goals and 16 assists, Pageau becomes #Isles leading goal scorer and third on team in points.

Solid player but this team is missing a 1st line center, with cizikas in the lineup we have plenty of 3rd liners.

Great 2nd line center, not quite the 1st line center I think we need quite yet.
