Rangers trading Zucc? They have traded his two best friends in in the last 12 months?
- TPC

Where did you see Zucc trade?

They created Cap space for only this year. Zibanejad is arbitration eligible next year.
- tomburton99

Zibjanejad is 6 years younger than Brassard and we get a 2nd rounder

I mean, I love Brassard but Gorton may have hit this one out of the park

I did say Brass should be the one traded.. , You're welcome
- mdw7413

you sure did

Where did you see Zucc trade?
- rangerdanger94

he's saying that bc hags and brass have been moved. they were the tri-pod

I have felt for a long time that either Brassard or Stepan would be traded, those feelings had subsided though.

I am kinda blindsided

they created cap space too, I bet more is coming

Seriously. They'll protect Staal, Skjei and Mcodnagh, and Lundqvist. That leaves them only able to protect 4 forwards. Zibanejad and Jooris have to be protected because of Arbitration. So who's the odd men out? Stepan, Zucc, Hayes, Kreider, Fast, Miller?

Look at the arm jiggle on this one. I've got to think this is the longest walk she's taken in quite some time.

Doesn't NMC not count towards the Protection?

Lets just enjoy this Tom. We will worry about that next year.

It counts and you're required to protect anyone with a NMC.

They do count. Have to protect them. Staal and Lundqvist must be protected. Girardi and Nash can be exposed because they only have M-NTC.

yeah, I really am a Derick Brassard fan

I watched his MSG special and he trained back in Ottawa during the summers, he is probably pretty happy

I was told they definitely don't have to protect Skjei

6th overall in 2006 for the 6th overall in 2011...
We're gonna win this trade

- jimbro83

Ok, but that still leaves somebody else this team being exposed. They are going lose somebody. My bet is on one of the Matt's not being happy.

She wasn't a protester, she was trying to get people out of the street to hit the McDonalds

Tom please get laid

This trade also screws up the Rangers potential protection for the expansion draft.
- tomburton99

How? They would have protected Brassard and they'll protect Mika. It's a wash unless I'm missing something.

Listen I'm not going full NYRsux here. When that happens, I'll just go pork Chiefs.

yep, I agree, expansion ramifications on this are the least of my thoughts
