I hope the Yotes get McDavid, that would be one insane team to watch. Plus, unlike the Oilers, they have competent management and coaching staff who will make sure things don't go off the rails.

 

[Yawnier]

already did that with 2013/2014 drafts

don't have their first in 2015 or 2016 now

It'll actually be 3 years in a row for the Rangers.

God damn.

You don't see that often in the cap era

 

[Kilvin]

Arizona won this trade on Duclair alone, heckuva player.

 

[MetatronM]

Zuccarello getting 4 years, $4.5m, NTC, according to McKenzie.

Well that's one bullet dodged.

 

[Red_Man]

Arizona making out like bandits. Good for them, now hopefully they get McDavid and relocated to a place that actually deserves a hockey team.

 

[calder]

God that first period. *panting*

 

[MetatronM]

 

[zroid]

Sounds official now. Duclair, John Moore, 2016 first, for Yandle with ARI retaining 50% of his salary and Chris Summers.

I like the idea of acquiring Yandle. I don't mind trading away John Moore since he seemed like one of the most obvious pieces to trade away. The first round pick is whatever because it feels like we never have first rounders anyway. But giving up Duclair is serious WTF territory.

Yandle hasn't been as good this year as in the past. This deal kind of smells of a Vermette-esque overpayment, valuing a guy for what he was as opposed to what he is. That said, he's going to improve the Rongos. Hopefully it's enough!

 

[calder]

Also, cry more Quick. When mark fucking scheifele is getting under your skin maybe take a deep breath.

 

[Samyy]

Also Ranger's 2015 2nd going to Arizona, are getting back a 4th though lol

 

[Red_Man]

If Rangers don't win the cup this year or next, they're fucked.

 

[Kifimbo]

NYR also giving a 2nd round pick ? LOL.

So complete deal Yandle and Summers and a 4th for Duclair, Moore a 1st (2016) and a 2nd in 2015. Yotes retain 50% of Yandle's salary.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

jeeeeeeesus they also gave up a second this year? my god, my fucking god

 

[MetatronM]

NYR also giving a 2nd round pick ? LOL.

 

[zroid]

Sather don't need no god damn picks

 

[calder]

The prices these rentals and average veterans are getting this year makes me almost wish we were sellers.

 

[Samyy]

God fucking dammit Leafs go get some more picks >=(

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Guenin and Berra for 30 years of NYR's first rounders thanks

 

[Yawnier]

If Rangers don't win the cup this year or next, they're fucked.

Basically. You keep on trading away top 60 picks and your farm system will suffer.

Seems like their window is this season and next season, that D has to be among the best in the east now.

 

[Plinko]

Welp, that just about destroys the market. Huge price paid for Yandle and GMs will now be expecting a ton.

 

[Kifimbo]

All it takes is an injury to Lundqvist and the whole thing falls apart.

 

[Clydefrog]

ey, fuck you steam

 

[zroid]

please someone take Bozak for a 2nd

pls

 

[NYR]

All it takes is an injury to Lundqvist and the whole thing falls apart.

Like his current injury? Check their record when he has been hurt, then talk.

The goal is to win the cup. The goal of 1st rounders is to build a team to win a cup. The Rangers are here, they are not waiting 5 years to win. They have a chance and are taking it.

 

[Spl1nter]

It seems quite likely now that Arizona ends up last in the NHL.

 

[Razorskin]

It seems quite likely now that Arizona ends up last in the NHL.

*Bettman laughs*

 

[Silexx]

@BonksMullet: The "Arizona" Coyotes just retained salary in a trade. Ottawa is officially the cheapest team in the league

😢

 

[Marvie_3]

It seems quite likely now that Arizona ends up last in the NHL.

All these picks and prospects should be getting in the league around the time they move.

 

[Merguson]

God fucking dammit Leafs go get some more picks >=(

With a Leafs game tonight.. I wonder if we get any healthy scratches..

 

[MetatronM]

Like his current injury? Check their record when he has been hurt, then talk.

That was against the Yotes (twice), Sabres, BJs, Leafs, Flames, and Avs, though.

We'll have a much better idea how this is ACTUALLY going after the next week and a half with the Perds, Wings, Hawks, Isles, and Caps.

 

[Samyy]

McDavid in Arizona, ugh

 

[Kifimbo]

Like his current injury? Check their record when he has been hurt, then talk.

That's called a small sample.

Not to mention you played against teams like Arizona, Columbus, Calgary and Philadelphia.

 

[Red_Man]

The prices these rentals and average veterans are getting this year makes me almost wish we were sellers.

This is why MacTavish should unload one of those top pick players, he could pull in a kings ransom right now.

Welp, that just about destroys the market. Huge price paid for Yandle and GMs will now be expecting a ton.

Hopefully this leads to more hockey trades tomorrow.

 

[Cake Boss]

😢

We almost traded for Clarkson!!

 

[Socreges]

What an overpayment. Jesus

Rangers going all in.

 

[ShaneB]

A sellers market indeed. God damn at the prices.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Duclair, Domi, and possibly McDavid, Hanafin, Eichel?

[MetatronM]

I just hope this doesn't turn into our version of the McDonagh trade.

Feels like it could be.


Wonder what number Yandle is going to wear.

 

[jello44]

Maybe the Flyers could get a first for Coburn... >_>

Which brings us to Dion Phaneuf and the rumblings that a deal to Detroit could be in the works before Monday’s trade deadline. This much we know: the Leafs are exploring the possibilities of trading Phaneuf and the Red Wings are looking for a defenseman. Detroit GM Ken Holland and Toronto GM David Nonis have spoken leading up to the trade deadline and the Red Wings will almost certainly be adding a defenseman tomorrow. With Keith Yandle just about off the market, that leaves one fewer defensemen for Detroit to pursue.

Tomorrow/This Summer will be real interesting.

Phaneuf is terrible.

This is the Red Wings. Phaneuf is too young.

Enjoy Robidas.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Phaneuf is terrible.

For 7 million yes, but I think he needs to get out of Toronto and if they have around 2 million retained, it might work out.

Though I just looked at his advanced stats thing and they are awful.

 

[Red_Man]

Yandle was in a very specific role. Lots of minutes but against secondary lines and mostly in the offensive zone. Will NYR change that?

I imagine it will be the same with the Rangers, but it's still a lot to pay. Does anyone have them as a top 5 contender now? I'd still put Hawks, Nashville, St. Louis, Ducks, Tampa and maybe even the Islanders ahead of them.

Phaneuf is terrible.

*Phaneuf hero chart*

 

[MetatronM]

Now that we've traded away the farm, we still have the issue of being dogshit on faceoffs.

Anybody want a....2017 1st round pick?

I don't see us carrying 2 mil of dead cap for the next 6 years.

You know who's good on faceoffs?

Tyler Bozak.

 

[GSG Flash]

We almost traded for Clarkson!!

So what you're saying is that we're cheap unless it involves an overpaid over the hill useless player?
