Sujet: EK65 Trade, plan for 2019-20
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>doabarrowroll</b></div><div>I would much rather not take that Karlsson deal. I see no reason to give up so much for Karlsson when we're already having issues with depth, we're already a bad team and you're seriously mortgaging a lot to get Karlsson and eat Bobby Ryan. Hayes, Spooner, Skjei, Lias, AND a 2nd...you cost yourself more by having Ottawa retain too. I dunno, if that's what it costs to get him, I just don't want any part of it.</div></div>

Yeah, I totally understand that view. Im on the fence about it too. But Karlsson is so so good and the possibility of getting him is tantalizing. I think if they go after him, they have a plan in place. They wouldn't just go after him to have a star and not do anything with him. As far as how much I gave up... it is a ton, but I think the Rangers could get him for less. Just not sure how much less. Depends if he is willing to sign with Vegas

Sujet: Tavares
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawkisles</b></div><div>-8m isn’t nearly enough
-NYR doesn’t have the future assets to sustain their current playoff streak.
-NYI is currently doing better in the standings. One would think that if Tavares was that insistent on staying in New York he’d go with the superior New York team.

I don’t have a problem with people making posts about Tavares’ impending free agency. I did the same thing with Stamkos and it’s all part of the culture if this site. But this is just bad reasoning. If Tavares is going to take this big of a discount for another team, it’s going to be for a team that he is certain will get him a Cup. Right now, that is not NYR.</div></div>

Lmfao "the superior New York team" it's been 6 games this season... the Rangers have been the better team every year for a while but you're gonna judge who is the superior team over 6 games? Ill agree that theres no way Tavares would take that discount, but chill with that superior team trash lol. Given the choice I think Tavares might choose a team that actually knows where its gonna be playing in the future. If it was a foregone conclusion he was gonna resign with the Islanders he would have signed already

Sujet: Win Hank a Cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Philu916</b></div><div>So letting both Hayes and Vesey walk is a thing? If Skjei is traded, it would HAVE to be Mackinnon. Sorry but Duchene is a solid 2C, and a good 1 C but Skjei + Miller would warrant Mackinnon. If Gorton decides both McDonagh and Zuccarello are too expensive to re- sign the following year, they need to have Skjei. Hate to say it, I love Mac. I would rather give Skjei 6 years right now for $5-5.5M than McD for $7M per year until he is 36. You can’t win a cup without good enough forwards. The team you have is fantastic, but the following year Zucc and MAC are getting big raises. Buch as well. I’m putting a 3 bc I don’t dislike these trades I just am thinking both Skjei a 1st and Miller warrant Mackinnon over Duchene Hayes and Vesey both walking for 0 won’t happen, if they’re traded this deadline than it makes sense.</div></div>

Yeah honestly I don't disagree with what you;re saying... the Rangers are just stuck between a rock and a hard place right now I think. They probably aren't good enough to win with their current roster, but I'd be shocked if they didn't turn things around and at least challenge for a playoff spot. There's talent but not enough imo which is the worst thing. If they aren't gonna go for it somehow with big moves then they should trade players like nash and grabner and get what they can for them, and then start a true rebuild. But it's New York and it's the Rangers so they won't do that... and you're absolutely right about Hayes and Vesey.. they would trade them instead of letting them walk for nothing, Im just not sure what they could get for them

Sujet: What the F is the Plan Jeff?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BSpadaro83</b></div><div>Just dont have any idea what the hell Gorton is doing. That DeAngelo Skjei pairing could give up as many highlight goals at it scores with the stupid deployment that the Rangers coaches will use. Staal to Dallas makes too much sense after what Hamonic got for NYI. Nieves isnt ready either but we used to have centers and now we dont. The JTM Buch Grabner line will be a disaster many nights. Hayes isnt a 2C. He needs to be free to be an O guy, not a matchup C. What is the plan Jeff? What the hell are you doing. Either blow it up or go all in. This half ass crap sucks</div></div>

I could't agree more... they better have a good plan because if they half ass it and are torn between rebuilding and retooling its going to be a disaster. I know they probably don't wanna give contracts that are too long in terms of years so I think it would make sense to sign an older center like Thornton or Marleau. They are low risk imo because they wouldn't ask for more than 2 or 3 years. I would also sign Shattenkirk to 5 or 6 years at something between 6-7 million but idk if they wanna do that.. Idk what tf they are doing but it better be good
