MODO Hockey Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Not under contract for next year, barring re-singing him before 7/1, he walks. In theory this makes a player less valuable on the trade market than a similar player with term left on his contract, since the buying team has control of,the player longer. I see. Thanks!

PerreaultForever Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 My gut tells me Kane ends up going to Pitt and we get a lot less than we think we should. Probably dead wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpandean Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Not under contract for next year, barring re-singing him before 7/1, he walks. In theory this makes a player less valuable on the trade market than a similar player with term left on his contract, since the buying team has control of,the player longer. I'd say that it makes him less valuable to a team that is rebuilding, as they would be looking for someone to help them going forward, rather than just a rental. However, to many teams looking just for a rental, it might make him more valuable than if he had years left. It all comes down to what the team wants the player for. The Rangers, as sellers, are not going to be looking for rentals. They will want what we want: picks, prospects and/or young players in the league. Kane is not really any of those.

Ho-Chi-Sock Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 My gut tells me Kane ends up going to Pitt and we get a lot less than we think we should. Probably dead wrong. Better than my internal pessimist telling me that Kane won't get moved at all/will suffer some horrible injury right before the deadline.

Rasmus_ Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) You havent seen Zucarella much...https://youtu.be/IjDI5LXK5lo Yes, I've seen Zuccarello plenty. I don't discount that he's not a great talent. This team needs to stop adding players in their 30's who will be in the decline before we're in serious competition. Trading the best rental on the market for a 30 something that may upgrade the talent pool, but deflate the purpose that this team is NOT GOOD.

Outside of Pominville, who are all these players in their 30s they keep acquiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I wouldnt trade Zuch straight up. But as part of a package of Kane and Lehner for say a number 1, Zuch and a Grabner or a prospect... Problem is Sabres need a D prospect and not sure the Rangers want to let any go. They are rebuilding and looking for picks - or prospects themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 The Rangers have had 2 first round picks since 2012. Both of those were in 2017. Since I don't believe they would move those 2 and I doubt they move this years, that leaves almost nothing in their prospect pool I even want to discuss let alone actually trade for. I wouldn't trade Kane straight of Zuccarello because of his age and the Sabres desperate need to add young talent to their pipeline. Zuccarello is good but not at all what the Sabres need right now. Zuccarello would better be served on cup contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least started skating in timbit hockey? All good teams have a mix of veterans and youth. You still need to ice a team every year and can't keep waiting foe that magical time when everything aligns and you can then add veterans.

As long as the contracts are decent, we should have a good amount of vets on the team, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
