I liked Gaborik while he was here, so my heart says yes, but given the realities of the situation, uh, no...

Chris Stewart would be a nice fit. I think he has been struggling this year. I actually think he has that every other year skill, similar to Gaborik but is the power forward some of the posters mentioned about getting.

He's the type player who be very helpful for the Rangers. Signed through next year at 4.1per. But, what would the Blues want? And do the Rangers want to part with it.

Thats what I was asking myself. Thinking back to the series they had with L.A I wouldnt think they would want to get softer in the trade as they could find themselves playing L.A in the play offs again. I would have to think Kreider would have to be the main Piece. Not sure exactly how much he is worth so I cant say what the second Piece would have to be ? Maybe Dorsett or Boyle ?

Right now, as it stands, Stewart is not worth Kreider. It would have to be strictly prospects and Boyle as a throw in... and if they can include Pyatt I would kiss Sather.

The cost of a guy like him would be huge, and probably not worth the price. I can see the Rangers playing in the second tier market, where maybe the target players has some flaws. I mentioned Fleishman a couple of weeks back, and I saw Glen mention him today. There are definetely some drawbacks to him, cap hit among them, but that is the type of player I can see the Rangers acquiring, because I think the price would be reasonable.

Fleishman can be quite the productive player, the only knock on him that I can think of is the injury history.

Would they take a flyer on a guy like Stafford ? he has scored before but not in a while but might come cheap or I would hope so anyways

Stafford wouldnt be a bad pick up and he probably would come cheap, Im sure hes fed up with the poopuation in Buffalo.

Yeah, 35 point in the short season last year, and 61 the year before. He can definetely be productive. It would probably cost someone like Miller, however.

Gaborik will never go back to NYR. The 2 main reasons he asked for a trade specifically to CLB was to be away from 1-J.Tortorella and 2-Being far away from the strong media coverage.

Not my favorite target, but if there weren't better options out there, and The Sabres would keep some of his salary, I wouldn't hate it. The guy always looks like a world beater against the Rangers.

I wouldnt give up Miller for Fleishmann, Miller would have to be part of a package for a player with less miles on him.

I was going to mention the salary thing but I have been in the Sabres blog a few times lately and dont think they can as they have taken salary for Pommer last year and this year and in the Vanek deal. Unless you can retain salary on 3 players cause I am actually unsure.

I wouldn't mind any one of Moulson, Cammalerri or Fleischmann. I would trade for Moulson than the other two and probably trade the least for Cammy. Hopefully it'a one of those. Just stay away from Heatley, Heemsky, Havlat etc.

Buffalo just gave up Vanek, a 1st and 2nd for Moulson... were not getting him from Buffalo.

You think he's gonna re-sign there? Buffalo would need to win at least 38 games from now on just to have an outside shot at the playoffs. That team will hit full sell mode very soon.

Personally, I would rather have Fleischman over Moulson, because he is a more complete player. Obviously, I like Cammy as well, but the Flames would need to retain salary, and what could the Rangers give to make it worth their while.

Agree totally.

I agree. Fleischmann is the better skater, without a doubt. Fleischmann also has the versatility of playing center or left wing. The one think Moulson does better is score goals. The dirty, tough, garbage type of goals. So I would be ok with either.

Cammalerri is probably not an option. Flames would have to eat half the cap hit. Flames need forward depth. So one of the forwards we have not named Kreider or Miller, plus a top 60 pick.
