Sujet: Trade with Sharks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shesterkin_next_GOAT</b></div><div>that wouldn't make your trade any better buddy</div></div>

If you think we will get more than a middle 6 player and a 2nd round pick for DeAngelo (due a huge payday)... keep overvaluing Rangers players, especially one who is disliked around the league, has been suspended for abusing officials and would be on his 4th team by age 24. Labanc had a bad year on the Sharks, as did most Shark players, have you even watched him play? Having a 3rd line that can actually create offense was the key to the Rangers making a 2014 Cup run, this is a 2 line team currently, barely that, with no sure fire forward prospects even close to making the team (Barron maybe?). Please feel free to enlighten me to the haul you think we will get for ADA and Lias who is a throw in that will never play for the Rangers again.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>Dude 90% of the plays went in our favor at the end of the year haha I’m not saying we should’ve won, but playoff hockey being playoff hockey, I’m pretty sure we beat you.</div></div>

First off, I am a Rangers fan... not sure who this "you" is that you are referring to. I would love to know which series you were watching, the Rangers had some chances they did not finish Howden, Mika, Smith missing an open net and Chtyil being robbed, and yes Hank let in some softies, but other than 2 good periods in the 3rd game, the Rangers were massively outplayed. They couldn't gain entry into the Canes zone which led to dumping and chasing (which we could never get the puck), Quinn opted to change the lines that he stuck with for 40 plus games after the first game (which set this team back even worse), Power Play looked reminiscent of the Torts era where just setting up in the offensive zone was an accomplishment, had an AHL caliber 4th line and our big guns were non-existent. Rangers were not even in this series. Reminded me a lot of Rangers Devils 2006 series where Rangers got swept with a young inexperienced team.

Sujet: Kakko with Panarin on Second Line
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GimmetheNucks</b></div><div>Read what i said. I said he is not a first line player and most likely not a top end top 6er. Is he middle to low end top 6 guy? Sure. But no team is going to be competitive with him on the top line.</div></div>

A top 6 forward is someone who deserves to be on the second line and can provide offense. I read what you said, Buch is a top 6 player on most teams in this league. Playing him on a 3rd line with less offensive minded players is wasting his talent and ability. Tom Wilson plays 1st line with Caps and helped them win a cup, it doesn’t always matter what line you are on but chemistry. Buch never played up to potential with AV as he was stuck playing with 3rd and 4th liners, for him to achieve success he needs to be top 6.

Sujet: Smith
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Josh</b></div><div>There is no need for callups, unless there is an injury. Capwise, they are fine. And thats with no movement.
If there is a move, its to free up additional capspace for ADA and Lemieux - and theyll still be flush to the cap.

Brendan Smith is not the guy you want in Hartford, as the Rangers have made it clear that they want to change the culture in Hartford. He broke his hand punching a teammate last time, so I'm not sure how he'd be good for the kids.

As far as Smith with the Rangers/Quinn - while I agree with you, I am being realistic. Smith can play either side on D, and played the wing last season. So, you wont need your callup you are worried about. And I am also not a fan of this guy getting icetime over anyone, let alone a developing prospect. And that's for NY and Hartford. But Quinn has the hots for him, so I think we are stuck watching him for another 60 games this season.

I'd like to see Rykov, Hajek, Lindgren taking the #6 and #7 d spots... but, again, Quinn hasnt been too fond of the young guys not named Pionk or Howden.</div></div>

Brendan smith fought Letteri in AV’s last year when he was out of shape and banished to Hartford. He came into camp in great shape last season according to everyone, he signed the big deal, got married and got too comfortable. He is far from comfortable and with credible coaches in Hartford this season I am not worried about him being there. You said it yourself Quinn has the hots for him and sometimes you have to take the toys away from a kid if you don’t want them to play with them. Gorton has to make the right move here or Smith will play over a kid on defense or even worse over a Kravstov or Kakko when Quinn is trying to send a message.

Sujet: Laine
Rangers don't need a 36 year old center who played about half the season last year due to injury. Team is rebuilding/building (whatever you want to call it). Trading for a player like that would be something they would do at the deadline if they definitely in the playoffs and think they have a chance. Fat chance that is happening and no way are they going after Koivu.

As for Laine, you want to have about 28.7 million in cap tied up in 3 players (Panarin, Trouba and Laine) that have never played for the Rangers? 35% of the entire cap in 3 players... ain't happening, especially when guys like Chytil, Kakko, Kravstov, Fox, and Shesterkin come off ELC deals this team will be in cap hell. Lastly, Davidson and Gorton believe in building the team through the draft, they are not going to undue everything they did by trading 2 first rounders.

Sujet: Without Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lamar1226</b></div><div>1. He's not making the team if we don't trade Names Kreider or Strome so lets hope they do that and get a decent return.
2. I hope you're right but to this point hes played better than Pionk and I think hes worth 3 mil.
3. Hoping so but its weird that no deals have gotten done yet and because of that, I don't know if there is a market for them right now.</div></div>

I think the fact Namestnikov and Strome haven’t been traded mean Gorton isn’t getting fair returns. He’s probably hoping as we get closer to the start of the season with holdouts and injuries or kids not looking ready trade partners will open up. Worst case he waives Strome or Vladdy they go for free but create cap space or they get buried and open 1.075 million.

DeAngelo is definitely worth Pionk money but he doesn’t have arbitration rights. He can take what the rangers offer or he can sit out, sitting out hurts his bank account now and in the future cause he’s likely to get even more minutes this year. His best bet is to take a 2 year deal and get the payday when he hits UFA.

Sujet: Opening night
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spanky227</b></div><div>No, I have him there for a reason. When Vlad was playing with Stamkos and Kucherov he was in the midst of one of his best seasons. He's been a tad unlucky with a PDO under 99, but besides that I really do think he is one of the best plug-n-play players we have (as he can play any role requested). With Panarin and Buchnevich, we have three highly skilled russians on one line-- yes this is more of a 1b line than a 1a line (at least on paper). The purpose of this is that there is a reason Namestnikov hasn't been traded yet, his value is so low that the rangers want to get a better return on their investment into him. What better way to boost his value than to put him in a situation where he can succeed. As we saw with Kevin Hayes, Duchene, etc, teams will overpay for a player that they think will help them win a cup. Do I think a team will pony up a 1st rounder-- he11 no, but a 2nd rounder isn't out of reach if Namestnikov has a solid season. Just look at what Ottawa got for Dzingel who produced on an expanded role in Ottawa after they tanked the last two years, back to back 56 point seasons (they got two 2nds and Duclair). Maybe swap lines one and two and it's more realistic. I think Kreider, Namestnikov, Strome and Fast are gone at the deadline anyway.

Post deadline lines:

Panarin-Zibanejad-(Buchnevich/Kakko/Kravtsov)
(Buch/Kakko/Kravtsov)-Chytil-Buch/Kakko
Lemieux-Andersson-TBD
Nieves-Howden-TBD

For Kreider, I can see a return of various picks (meaning different rounds, not multiple) and Puljujarvi or Tolvanen or another decent prospect that can fill a 3rd line role right now with potential for more.
For Strome/Namestnikov/Fast I can see a return of picks varying from 2nd round through 4th round depending on the season they are having.</div></div>

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Quinn has stated he sees Zibanejad with Panarin on top line, check the end of this article

I understand your desire to improve Vlad’s trade value but I don’t think he will be here come opening night and playing with Buch and Panarin, for as good as they are is not the same as playing with Stamkos and Kucherov, especially with Vlad playing at center with more defensive responsibilities.
