I dont understand the thought process of people thinking they’d make a deal without agreeing on an extension with Kane. If they can’t they don’t make the trade

Kane isn’t a rental for the NYR

He shouldn't be a Ranger... at all.

makes absolutely no money probably slight step up at this point from Harpur

I almost wanna see it happen just so this place burns to the ground and I’ll be sitting back like Lardass in Stand By Me watching you all vomit

Sure. Why not. The 6th d could be a problem. Marc Staal was a below average NHLer when the Rangers traded him originally. They love that kind of player. Makes total sense. Not to me, but to the brass.

Staal playing what is probably his last year in NHL for former team and making another playoff run as a 3rd pairing dman getting about 12-15min a game, and a ton of experience.....IDK wouldn't be worst decision in the world.

Is this a rumor or speculation based on what someone thinks would be interesting to see

Here is the Meier rumor rrentz (may be someone else) brought up. Whoever they get, if they’re giving up numerous assets needs to come with an extension

Kane says he’d like that in this article

the only thing I see about Marc Staal on twitter is Leafs fans whining about a hit he threw last night

Great interview, but this guy also signed Ben Chiarot. So my mind is in a pretzel.

Can't wait for the incessant female doging about how slow he is and how many goals/wins it costs us.
I simply don't understand this obsession with trying to stick a top 4 defenseman on our 3rd pair at any cost. Harpur is far from the next coming of Lidstrom, I get it. But, I have yet to see him directly cost us a game. It is only common sense that your 5th and 6th dmen will be somewhat flawed. It's the same for every other team. We simply don't have cap space to spend here.

No on the nostalgia trade, unless it's for Zucc.

How I think of it, the better the player, the more depth you have. For example, let's hope not but what if Miller or Lindgren got injured and all of sudden Marc Staal or Ben Harpur has to play top 4 minutes. With Lindgren that might be more plausible given how hard he plays every game. Guy never quits. But he takes a beating.

Edit: Rangers are projected to 5.3 million at the deadline. Gavrikov is on an expiring deal at 2.8 million. That will be prorated. They have the money for that type of player this year.

TJ I think you missed the "If he is moved at all" comment, Its all speculation.

I think Harpur is best served as the 7th D. Would Staal be an upgrade probably not. I’d shoot for something better. The key is not giving up a first rder tho for a dman. We have a good enough top 5 where we shouldn’t feel the need to do that. I’d offer a 2nd and Zac Jones for someone’s rental until someone says yes.

I'm all for the Gavrikov guy.

17 games until the deadline

Dryden hunt has 1 goal for the Rangers, 1 goal for Colorado and 1 goal for Toronto this year

I think he'll get waived again and somebody Pacific division will pick him up so he can score there too
