Fatfrancesa Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 So much for worrying about players not wanting to sign here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Nash and Grabner are the only ones skating because they know they are getting traded, and are trying to get this team in the playoffs so they dont get shipped out. Now that is ridiculous, Grabner has been crushing it since he's been a Ranger. You really think Grabs just turned it on in the last month. I guess you are also saying Nash was dogging it, but many observers felt he's been snakebit this year. I think he has been playing hard, going hard to the net with pucks and also working to consistently screen the goalie in the tough areas. Come on man, why are you running with that narrative? Let it go, it is off the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Is there anyway that a post that's being quoted from a poster on your ignore list, be blocked as well? No. Sorry.

LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Now that is ridiculous, Grabner has been crushing it since he's been a Ranger.

Let it go, it is off the mark. May be going hard to the net THIS year. Many games as a NYR he was a perimeter player. And soft as melted butter.

josh Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think the injuries were a huge factor. He did shy away from contact and avoided crashing the net anytime he came back from an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Heaven Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 :tweet: @NicholsOnHockey McKenzie: As of this moment, three pieces seem to be the asking price for Rick Nash. "A first-round pick, a top prospect, and another lesser player or prospect or pick." #NYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 McD, Nash (retain half), Staal (we retain 2 mil per) and a 4th for Marner, Dermott and their 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Of course if Staal complicates things too much, we won't let it scuttle the deal. We can play Toronto off with Tampa. McD, Nash (retain half), Holden or Staal (retain 2 mil) for Sergachev, Howden, Raddysh and their 1st or McD, Nash, Grabner, Holden (retaining half of everyone this year) for Point, Howden, Foote and their 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I think the reality will be a lot less creative or fun. Nash is going to the central division or Anaheim for a 1st and a decent prospect. Dallas and Nashville will be bidding. St Louis would make sense but they do not have a 1st. Not sure how they compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giacomin Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Phil is in the mentions spitting fire. Good job, Phil. What is he saying? Fun strategic idea. Bruins interested in Grabs. Say we get their 1st and somehow Toronto's 1st. One of those teams is getting knocked out in the first round, end up with high pick. Obviously even better, trade with someone who might not make the playoffs. Heard Isles to be aggressive in trade mkt. Isles want Grabs? LA?

josh Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Seller's market this year. Both conferences are wide open, no clear-cut favorites. Negotiate effectively, and you could see some huge returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Seller's market this year. Both conferences are wide open, no clear-cut favorites. Negotiate effectively, and you could see some huge returns. Lots of teams looking for scoring wingers. We have two of the best/most interesting available. I think the Rangers asking for 3 pieces for Nash are aiming a little high but we'll see. I'd be happy with a 1st and good prospect or young player in return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's hard to ignore the idiots. Fifth-leading (tied) even strength goal scorer in the NHL is worth "a third... at best". http://gifimage.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/yeah-ok-gif-14.gif Also, what's your handle?

Phil Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Seller's market this year. Both conferences are wide open, no clear-cut favorites. Negotiate effectively, and you could see some huge returns. And what the Rangers are offering is cream of the crop. Nash is a premire veteran, albeit on a scoring decline, and Grabner is the cheapest 20-goal scorer you'll find on the market, period. There is no reason—none whatsoever—that Gorton doesn't get a first-round pick for each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Rangers asking for 3 pieces for Nash are aiming a little high but we'll see. I'd be happy with a 1st and good prospect or young player in return not only can Nash and Grabner be considered scoring wingers, but also depth, pkers, vets, speed, skill, leadership, experience, willingness, attitude, etc. You can look at Pax and Neal and check off a few boxes, but not as many. Nash and Grabner can fill multiple holes for a team, while adding an additional threat on top of that. Sure, some fans dont see Nash as the same guy, and GMS might not see him as a 40-goal scorer, either, but you cant discount everything else he can bring. I said before, these guys are ideal trade deadline acquisitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago, Pitt, LA and others have stepped up to the plate and have Cups to show for it. We were buyers many times. The GMs that want to pussy foot around aren't ready to be World Champions and bring the Cup to their city. Bold moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
