Honest question, if the cost for Bobby Ryan is AA, Miller and a 1st rounder, you wouldn't make that trade?
- Pete V

i would. how about something like aa, sauer , a 1st and a lesser prospect? they need help defensively. not sure sauer value cause of his concussion and injury history

I would do it. And I would probably do it even if you substituted Kreider for Miller.
- jimbro83

The prospect of having Kreider, Gaborik and Hagelin in the same line up intrigues me. Del Zotto would have fun throwing homerun passes out of the defensive zone.

No need to apologize. I think you're crazy, but no need to apologize.

And just so were clear. I really like Miller. Tough, hardworking kid that would fit right into the mold of these Rangers. With that said, I think he is a souped up Brandon Dubinsky, at best, which is certaintly not a bad thing. I just don't think were talking about Superstar type player.

I agree with you on Kreider, although if the cost for Bobby Ryan was Chris Kreider and some other small asset, I would probably do that as well.
- Pete V

The thing I love about Miller is that he has the grit/hardworking game like Cally/Dubi but he has better skill. I keep reading about his great vision and his ability to finish in front of the net. Gets me pumped thinking of that type of player on the Rangers

Edit: But knowing my luck he will turn out to be a marginal 3rd liner and I will always regret we never traded him for Ryan

You need to get Midnight in here to balance out the numbers, TPC.

But hes not gonna be playing top 6 unless we move someone AND he accepts a role on the wing. Hes not gonna play ahead of Richards or Stepan obviously.

Yea just watch in a couple of years from now I will be crucified on here when he turns out to be nothing more then a marginal 3rd liner

whatever, he'd be better than Boyle at least

Someone still has to convince me Krieder is going to sign with the Rangers. I would hate to pass up a possible trade, and then he doesn't sign. I don't know why but I have this nagging feeling he wants to play in Boston.

Indeed. You bring up a good point. Someone would have to be the odd man out. But I think Miller is still 2 years away so maybe that will play out between now and then

We wouldn't crucify you. We would duct tape you, put you backwards on a donkey, and throw rotten tomatos at you on your way to banishment to the Florida Panthers blog.

- jimbro83

Is Boyle's deal for 2 or 3 years?

By far, and if we dont make a trade, I will look forward to, whole-heartedly, the hope that Miller makes the team and that he takes Boyles spot on the 3rd line.

Didn't know one existed

At least I could still do some Ranger chants

two more after this one.

The big fella plays way too much for such little production

Yep after that 20 goal campaign, Sather fell for trick

He is signing Oldschool He better

Look at Erxion, he didn't want to sign in Calgary. It's happened before, just sayin...

He is going to sign. I guarantee it. There you go, Old School, that should provide you with all of the assurance you need.

Yea I am pissed at the thought of him spurning us for someone else, not your opinion haha

He is a bit of a frustrating player. His line has been good. They work hard. Alot of good shifts, and time in the offensive zone. But there is never a payoff. It's like good foreplay without the ....

I literally accomplished nothing at work so far other than talking to you gents and going to Wegmans for lunch

Calgary is also a crap team. Why would any prospect give up a chance to play for a top team, needing a scorer, in the greatest city ever, in the worlds most famous arena.

I'm sure Sather has some idea of his intentions.
