get NYR off that list
- rangerdanger94

Mcdonaugh, Delzotto, Hagelin, Steppan and a bunch moore to resign. Mcdonaugh and Delzotto alone will command 10 mil minimum between the two of them.

Philly is going to buyout Briere and Bryz, thats 12 mill in cap space, they will be fine
- DDM-Coga

Homer will blow that wad on more bad free agent signings

Gagner for Berglund.

Blues get some desperately needed offense, Oilers get a big strong 2nd C behind Nuge.

Win Win.

I guess it all depends on how much Gagner makes and if the Blues can afford it.

- Mr.Awsome

psych.

we only have to resign McDonagh, Hagelin, and Stepan this offseason.

McDonagh and Stepan will get 10 million TOPS between them (closer to 8 or 9 million in reality) and Hagelin will get 2 million. we have over 13 million in cap space and plan to unload guys like Asham and Pyatt which frees up an additional 3 million.

that's not even including the extra 7 million in capspace we'll gain from buying out Richards, if we choose to.

I really don't see a trade between Philly and Edmonton. Both are looking for Dmen.
- Iggysbff

exactly. Trade with a team that has a surplus of D men. EDM's looking for the same thing as Philly. Trade with teams like CBJ, NYR, WIN, maybe STL

Hossa will not be bought out. Fact; bears like beats.

And who's the nerd who said trade Nuge for a top 4 pick this year? (frank)ing nerds.

Del Zotto for Couturier would make sense.

I'd also like to see a PRV for Krieder swap.

honestly you're underestimating couturier A LOT. this kid should've gone 2nd overall. he's gonna be a superstar.
- rangerdanger94

I'd easily take RNH, Landeskog, or Huberdeau over him... May end up being a good player, but second overall is a stretch at this point.

No its not taking him off scoresheet completely, but hey out of the 50 some goals scored in those games, not bad for a rookie. Just saying having him over Gagner as your second line centre, who would you rather have?
- DDM-Coga

Couturier based on potential, but I wouldn't give up key assets for him until he proves something. 15P is a pretty pathetic season unless he was injured and I don't know it

Gagner for Berglund.

Win Win.

- Pilgor09

Berglund aint as good as Gagner. Don't trade skill for a lot lesser skill with size. Berglund had 13 less points than gagner and he shot at 23%. He's a 3C on a good team

Del Zotto for Couturier would make sense.

- Pilgor09

i'd do a DZ for Couturier swap.

i wouldn't do a PRV for Kreider swap though. Kreider is big, physical, can score, has a winning pedigree, and has been a Rangers' project for years and is finally playing in the show. on top of that, they say he's the fastest player on the team...which means he's faster than hagelin...which means he's the fastest player in the NHL and he has lucic size.

- TheNugeIsHuge

Berglund also is X2 the defensive player gagner is. What Berglund lacks in offense to Gagner, it's futile compared to his defensive game.

Great Gagner will put up 50 points a season, he is also terrible in his own end. Berglund doesn't do that stupid poop giving the other team primo scoring oppurtunities.

Plus Berglund would strengthen up our PK.

You can also throw him on the PP where horcoff was to win draws and be a big body in front of the net.

- laughs2907

RNH and huberdeau i can see. but he'd go over landeskog in my book.

either way, he was an absolute steal at #8 and should've went top 4 or 5. again, this kid is gonna be a total stud in the league and you guys are seriously, SERIOUSLY, undervaluing him. and that's coming from a ranger fan who absolutely hates everything flyers.

- rangerdanger94

Yeah I'm aware of the potential with Krieder. Just coming off a pretty bad year.

PRV is just as fast IMO. You don't get the toughness, but you get a better positioned player who has a higher hockey IQ.

PRV is a safer pick to be a top 6 fwd. Krieder you get that wildcard factor of boom or bust.

I dont think the Blues would even entertain the trade though.

why don't you guys move gagner to the wing, assuming you can find another 2C with better size? it lessens his defensive responsibility and you don't have to trade him just for the sake of trading him because you have another 2C.

Will Omark outscore Eberle this upcoming season?

is PRV as fast as hall?

I dont think the Blues would even entertain the trade though.
- mochoson

I do. They struggle offensivley and have basically every player on that roster who can cover up Gags defensive liabilities. The Oilers don't if Gagner plays in the top 6.

Del Zotto for Couturier would make sense.

I'd also like to see a PRV for Krieder swap.
- Pilgor09

Not at all would it make sense.

Del Zotto isn't enough of a two-way defender for me to give up Couterier for him. Not even close. Del Zotto is a great young defensemen, but he's not who the Flyers need.

I'd rather the Flyers give up nothing and simply give Ryan Whitney a shot on a cheap contract than lose Couterier for Del Zotto.

Eberle won't score 50 points this year. (frank)ing guarenteed.

- Pilgor09

They struggle offensively due to the system they play, not due to a lack of skill. Backes, Oshie, Perron, Tarasenko, Berglund, Sobotka, Stewart....there's way to much fire-power there, it's just being under-utilized.

- TheNugeIsHuge

He wasn't injured. He was utilized incorrectly by the coach, spent over half the year in the 4 th line, and had a horrible shooting % I think it was 5.3. He should rebound nicely next year, so I'm hoping these rumors are just rumors.

Not at all would it make sense.

- mochoson

Del Zotto is a puck mover which Philly needs. Whitney is a total scrub that can't even skate let alone make a breakout pass anymore.

It would take a + from the rangers side if they want that deal I just don't think it's far off.
