Sujet: Another Laffy to MTL ACGM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howie</b></div><div>Firstly Mackie is nyr depth dman not starting so Harris is not really a need.
Next Anderson is overpaid and frankly who will have a better season next year Laffy or Anderson. You mention that Anderson is better than goodrow but that's not the player he's replacing lol.
As mentioned in many agms before and here as well nyr aren't trading Laffy for a return that isn't a homerun of a return and this is more of a ground out.</div></div>

Harris is also an upgrade over Gustafsson and would be a great insurance policy if NYR can’t re-sign Lindgren.

Also, if you say that Anderson doesn’t replace Goodrow, you can’t start making a one vs one comparison with Laffy.
You say Anderson is overpaid but seem to forget I included a 1.5M$ retention so 4M$ for a 20-25G power forward is more than reasonable.

You need to take a step back and look at the trade as a whole. The Rangers would be a better team for the next two years with this package and their time is now, not in five years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GoofyFoFoofy</b></div><div>Off the bat this trade won't work cause Goodrow probably has all of Canada on his 15 team NTC.
Let's say he waives though. I don't like this trade from the Rangers' prospective. The value is there but none of the pieces you're sending are exciting. It's just a 1st + a lot of B prospects + a middle 6 forward who I would take Laf over. Rangers are trying to win a cup now and this won't make them better. Laf has been disappointing so far yes, but he's still put up about half a point per game in the NHL and the Rangers still view his ceiling as very high. The prospects you send over don't seem close to that ceiling, most of them maxing out as middle 6 forwards and bottom 4 dmen. Harvey-Pinard is interesting but he's also already 24.

If I were Drury I'd much rather see a trade with one A prospect and a 1st.</div></div>

The thing I would disagree with what you said is “this trade won’t make them better”.

Anderson is an upgrade over Goodrow
Harris is significantly better than Mackey
Harvey-Pinard produced more than Laffy in limited NHL time (although very unlikely he keeps this pace as I mentioned). Obviously Laffy has more value and upside but you get my point.

From my perspective, NYR get better in the short term with a much deeper lineup (plus add a B prospect in Ylonen and a first that could be top-15).

Adding a top prospect and a first does not help them in the short term so I think the only kind of deal that makes sense for NYR is something like that: quality depth players at very reasonable cap hits (Tampa Bay style trade).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Nope. So, a Vezina Winnipeg goalie pulls some depth pieces, but a 24 YO unproven goalie somehow pulls a 40G, 6 time PPG 1C. How does that work?

When you're trading star, impact players you want similar or similar potential in return, not filler to pad the bottom of the lineup. Of course those offers aren't considered. Bottom of the lineup depth can be had for much cheaper.

Late firsts and bottom of the lineup depth doesn't get 2 star players, retained for an entire year.</div></div>

A former vezina winner who’s now 30, potentially a rental (and/or who will likely command a 9M+ contract with too much term) does not get you the moon.

Especially when there is virtually no market for a goalie.

There are literally 2 teams that could use Hellebuyck AND afford him cap wise: NJ and BUF. Unfortunately for the jets, it affects Hellebuyck’s value big time
