I understand that, but then once you've made the deal where you put him? And where would that new prospect fit in with all the other ones we've accumulated? If it's a player so young and green that they belong in Hartford, that's fine, but you've still got $5.8M of Cally sitting in the bottom six taking minutes/games played away from Stinky, Vesey, Fast, Lemieux, Lias, Strome, Beleskey, Boo, Brickley, Gropp, Ronning, Gettinger, Fogarty, Lettieri...

I realize that many of these guys are going to be career AHLers, but in terms of building a roster some may belong there every bit as much as Cally.

You put cally in goal. Duh

I'll never understand why teams/media need to tweet this stuff. Like he's gonna come out and say "Oh yeah, the Rangers are a steaming pile of donkey feces"

Serious question for debate, not a ball-bust...

Is there any point to making a move like taking on a bad contract anymore?
I feel like this rebuild quickly jumped over the need for such things. We all already dealing with guys being in the way of the next generation. Why add more players we know have deficiencies and contractual speedbumps?

how did it turn into the Islanders need to trade Dobson for Trouba and then it turned into the Rangers trading Pionk?

how the hell did that happen

Just make sure you don't get what Big Papi got.

the guys clamoring for the Rangers to trade for a bad contract to take on another 3rd line asset remind of Geena Davis in Major League when she wanted Marla Hooch to bunt because the infield was back

stop thinking with your tits fellas, we want a big summer here

Panarin next, if he fails, Marner, Point

Most likely because the Isles were never in on Trouba and Chevy was trying to use the media to add perceived value but ended up just confusing himself

I think Brooks was just fishing for pageviews on that one

I got such a kick out of this part:



Oh so the Islanders might trade Dobson but the Devils won't trade Ty Smith

Just make sure you don't get what Big Papi got.

No..that would be wonderful

I don't hate that move from the Flyers.

That's a pretty bad trade for Philly. A 2nd and 3rd for a 32yo defenseman with one season left

No..that would be wonderful

All it takes is 11 grand and a ticket to Santo Domingo!

edit: just kidding... I feel bad even typing that out.

I guess they feel they can recoup it at deadline if they have to?

Rangers traded a 4th for McQuaid and were able to get one back at deadline, I don't know though, getting a 2nd and 3rd back is tough

Maybe, but that seems like a lot to pay for a guy that amounts to a one year rental. A 2nd OR a 3rd and it looks fine, but that just seems a little excessive. Not a disaster, but not good asset management.

Must mean they really don't like Myers and Morin. Gotta figure they would leave Hagg as the #6
