Just saying. I've been hearing this same line for 2 decades now. Every decent Swedish defense prospect is apparently "the next Lidstrom."
- gergeswillems




I don't think he ever said he was the next Lidstrom. He is obviously just comparing their style of play which is similar. I imagine Mattias grew up idolizing Lidstrom and took after his game. Like many Swedes do



If he's half of what Lidstrom was that is a win



Really glad he'll be furthering his development with the more prestigious Frolunda organization

The NYR would most likely buyout Staal. That will free up money.

Habs up and coming Swedish sensation Dman Mattias Norlinder (the one that reminds Per Hagglund of Nik Lidstrom - a journalist who has covered the SHL for 30 years) pulls off the Forsberg on Lundqvist

This kid is already NHL ready



Romanov, Norlinder, Brook, Fleury, Struble, Harris, Fairbrother. Schhhwing

JG and Panarin? What about Zibanejad? That line would be deadly. Small line but deadly.

As a Rangers fan, this is intriguing. My question is, does Gadreau play the right side as well as the left? Panerin and Kreider are both left wings.

Rangers hope Chytil will be able to replace Strome at 2C, but that's a greater need. Hoping K'Andre Miller or one of a couple other prospects will eventually replace Brendan Smith as Trouba's partner, but left D is also a bigger need.

Well there’s the dumbest thing I’ve read all day.

Unless the plan would be to use the cap space to acquire lehner, Calgary would just hold on to JG and use him as an “own rental” until he walks as a FA. We’ve been desperately needing another top six winger the past 2 years, to get one in on an ELC for three years would be perfect
- RedC21


Wouldn’t say no to Laf obviously, but the Flames don’t just need a winger. They need a RW.

I dont think it is even that realistic from a transaction value standpoint, but how in the world would the Rangers do this under a salary cap that is likely not going up? They have 67 million committed to 15 players. Gaudreau will command minimum 7 million. So they would have about 6 million to spend on about 1/3 of their lineup.

He’s not a UFA, so not sure what exactly you’re talking about.

He would be a top line LW on most NHL teams including the Canucks.

Even better than a 34 year old louis eriksson that’s making 6 mill for 2 MORE seasons after this???

Not according to canuck fans/numbskulls.

Congrats on being one of the worst teams ever in hockey and still losing out on the 1st pick! Get use to that, it's going to be a long, long time before you muster some type of relevancy again

JG playe RW in college and I believe tkachuck may have played that side a few times this year when mangiapane had reps in the top six. I would expect one of those two to slide over

If they make the trade next offseason than maybe. The Rangers’ cap situation this year is shot. They still have Shattenkirk’s buyout of like $6 million and the cap is going to flatline so not likely that trade happens. Total dead cap space will be almost $7.5 million.

They just Signed Panarin last summer and extended Kreider recently. Both play LW. Does JG play RW? Nope. Not that I know of.

They will have around $12 million to sign 7-8 players. JG takes up more than half of that.

Rangers don’t need JG. Unless they move Kreider which they won’t. So dumb choice as the best trade proposal. Thanks for coming out.

But they did win cups before...at least they were relevant at one point.

I mean it’s not like they’ve been in the league for almost 50 years and have never won a cup.

You would have to be EPIC shtty to do that, right?

Just like your posts. A huge pile of dog $hit. When was the last time your team won a Stanley Cup? 45 years ago? I'm sure you remember 1997
