4EverRangerFrank Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 We were hopeful for Duke to be an asset his first time through then something went off the rails. He's visited more teams than a Greyhound Bus hooker. So he showcased a bit the other night...I'm not looking to go a second round. Bring on Thomas the Tank.

I don't remember him being that fast. I'd think lots of teams may have interest. He may fetch a pretty penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost like he was showcasing himself… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I agree that they need (or likely will end up needing) a wing for Zibanejad and Kreider. Duclair would be positive. Tarasenko would be positive. There’s a few guys the Rangers could target but I’m really not sure how it would work cap wise or asset wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both suggestions are awesome ideas. We know Tarasenko can work here. After watching Duclair on Sunday, I'm on board to bring him over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 2 things worry me about Duclair. 1. What would it cost the Rangers? Kakko? 2. Why doesn't any team want to keep Duclair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why doesn't any team want to keep Duclair? No idea on cost. As to the other thing…. Yeah. Me too a little. I think it has something to do with the injuries he’s had. And surely the flat cap hasn’t helped him. But you’d think someone would want a guy who can score 20-30 goals and is still only 28. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Looked like Tarasenko was auditioning to return last night. If the Sens drop out of any chance at the playoffs, he's a good fit. The 2nd year of his contract might not even be that bad with a rising cap. Question becomes what will they want, and on that, Othmann and Perreault are probably nonstarters. Being they were docked a 1st round draft pick, that could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tarasenko is the pick if it all lines up, and is on a 1 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t likely to get a premium prospect for a rental. A 1st probably gets that deal done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would trade a 1st for Tarasenko in a second. They need another RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll need retention… and possibly double retention. So the total cost will likely be higher. But the big piece going the other way will likely be that first.
