I'm not a big defender of Marincin... but I'd definitely like to see him play a few more games at 3LD rather than 1RD before completely burning the boats on him. At this moment, what do we have to lose (beyond games, of course - which we're doing anyway!)?

Phaneuf?

No thank you.

I don't know whether you are joking or not. But if not, your ignorance is worthy of Harold Ballard.
What makes you think that you couldn't pick up a serviceable player from a team that is head and shoulders above yours? There's no value in grabbing a defenseman that could replace one of the plugs you have, eh? And at less than you are paying your rookies.
I guess you're one of those people in Ontario that is a Leaf fan just because he doesn't know poope about hockey, so why not follow the masses?

Lou reads this blog every day, I wouldn't doubt he's started your new cement boot mold already!!!

He's calling Brian Burke right now asking him how to find anonymous internet posters.

Burke: "So you can sue him, Lou?"
Lou: "Uhhh yeah - that's right, Brian, to sue him."

Let me bring it over here!

How about.....

JVR for Fowler and some other salary dump

Kadri and Gardiner for Trouba


- ThePresident

This! Except I'd swap kadri with another asset not named Matthews marner or Nylander. Not sure Winnipeg could fit Gardiner and Kadri under the cap.

Rielly Zaitsev
Fowler Trouba
Marincin Carrick

I'll bite. Why did the Rangers waive a #4 D?
- 1979AD


New York has Holden, Clendenning, Klein, Girardi and Staal that are all either just a little better or a better fit for the system than McI. But, he is definitely capable enough to play on many rosters throughout the league. Big and tough with a cannon.

AV likes the top 6 the way it is right now and Clendening as the #7 as he's more of a puck mover. McIlrath needs to play so he is being waived to hopefully get him to the Pack.

When does Anaheim have to shed money to fit lindholm under the cap?

Or are they already good?

Now hold on there Tonybere....why is it so important to you we claim Mcilraith? And as mentioned, I don't think we can. 50 bodies.

Also, I'm not sure he's any different than Marincin, if he was, he'd probably be in your lineup.

And yet he's being waived as opposed to traded?

King L is the only D we want of NY's

We can wait for our yute to progress rather than take the Rangers cast offs

I have no idea who he is or where he came from but he came steaming in grabbing the wrong end of the stick, telling some random tale about Ballard and that apparently, I am now from Ontario.
