I was a big Richards fan after watching him with Tampa in the Finals. Whenever I would get the new NHL game I would trade for him and put him with Bure (The game didn't know he was injured/retired for a couple of seasons). They roasted every team, Bure eclipsed 90 goals

I would still do that deal as the Rangers every time. He was not showing signs of slowing down when he signed.

This guy likes big richards....

Ideal trades:
Stepan for Chychrun or Dumba
Raanta + Day for Trouba
Staal +Skapski for Derek Ryan + Ward
JT Miller for Eberle
- alwaysjoeking

1) No
2) No way Jets do that. C'mon man.
3) Again, c'mon
4) No, are you nuts?

anyone know what the rangers would be looking to get from ARZ? i wouldnt mind getting Connor Murphy - young righty Dman. though i would want something extra as well.

I would love to have Trouba but I want to see how Day pans out. Plus they probably would hang up the moment Gorton offered the deal.

Sounds like the Islanders are hot and heavy for Eberle.... It's such a good fit for them.

I think you're nuts too

no to all the above.

Eberle for Miller!!!!??? why?

Raanta + Day for Trouba....DREAM ON!!!

no to all the above.
- richardson30

You wouldn't trade Raanta and Day for Trouba?? I mean I know WPG wouldn't, but in theory that would be peanuts for the Rangers to pay.

Assuming they either a) don't overpay and/or b) EDM retains salary, yes it would be a good fit. We are weak down the right side.

And everything I said last summer u all want to do now

I wouldn't go that far.

As has been mentioned, you just keep on about how right you are. But, you still don't know all the things that the GM's know. There may be very good reasons we are not aware of to have avoided those deals.
Furthermore, I took a look last night at Coyle vs. Stepan just in case I missed something. Nope, I did not. Step is 2 years older and , yes of course he makes a little more money than we would like, but other than faceoffs there is not a single reason to covet Coyle over Step. 0.3ppg vs. 0.7ppg. and aside from one year, Coyle has scored a whopping 2 points in each playoff year.

If Stepan is going it better be for another center. Just lost Lindberg. Can't lose Stepan too with no replacement.

Any thoughts to Miller moving back to the middle?

He will be hurt after opening night. Suckers!

I'm too lazy to research it, has Eberle every played with Tavares and ever on the same line?

Look, I would do this but it would never happen anyway. I like Sean Day too, kill me.

Any thoughts to Miller moving back to the middle?
- mrhattrick27

I go back and forth on that. He seems to gain and lose confidence very quickly. Not necessarily a good trait for a center. I guess they could work with him in preseason and see how it goes. I would say it would be a last resort though.

Only on one of the greatest goals in Canadian history!!!!

Well, he certainly won't get hurt backchecking!

Hearing he did not get along at all with Buchberger, so new assistant coach might have something to say on this, I think Isles go hard on Duschene, and maybe even Galchunyuk as well. Could get real interesting in next 48 hours.

Pretty soon the Islanders will be better than the Rangers until Snow ruins it somehow.

Allow me

Whoops! Didn't mean to stretch the board out like that! Can anyone tell me how to shrink the video? I'll take it down shortly....After everyone has a chance to watch that clutch play. And the Isles fans here get a chance to see Tavares win something.

I honest to god think Eberle is still riding the coattails of that game.... Wasn''t sure if Tavares was on that line or not.

Tavares was the one who closed off the play on the boards and through it to the front of the net.

And, yes, Eberle has largely gotten by on that goal and his first in the NHL, which was certainly a beauty as well.
He's got great skills, but his all around game isn't in the same ballpark as Miller's.
