If I wanted to add a bunch of middle 6 forwards to the team I can just look in free agency. The Rangers have so many “good” prospects that I am not a fan of at all. Their value is in guys I don’t think believe have realistic expectations to become cornerstones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) On the Instigators this mornign Dreger mentioned there was a "sleeper" team in the East who might emerge in the Eichel sweepstakes. I also saw a tweet saying depending on how the Seth Jones situation plays out with the Blue Jackers, Columbus might have 4- 1st round picks (currently have 5,25,32). I wonder if they are that team that sends us 5, 25 + whatever they have to offer? Do they have any great prospects?

The sleeper team in these situations is always Made The ***** Up Because These Guys Need To Cover Their Butts. Calling a sleeper team in the east gives him a 50% chance (okay technically slightly less than 50% but 46.8%) of being able to say he called it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 14 minutes ago, Thorny said: If he's after futures, I wonder if (and hope there isn't) there's a chance there's a self-imposed deadline? I wonder if he'd be inclined to take a lesser deal right now because if he doesn't, he'd have to either change his futures ask to next year's draft (which is tough as you don't know where teams will be picking) or change his opinion on futures/now players, which seems unlikely. I wonder at all if keeping Jack becomes an option I suspect many current offers are built around picks in this year’s draft. Some (Rangers, Wild) can easily be shifted to a similar asset post-pick. Some (Ducks) cannot. If Adams played his cards right, he had acceptable offers on the table by last night and he is playing them off each other to maximize return. If he hasn’t got an acceptable offer yet, it’s unlikely he’s going to get a better one after the draft. Eichel is a front-burner move, not something you circle around to after Plan A falls through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling that Columbus is trying to get additional assets for an Eichel trade in the trade for Seth Jones. They are asking for Kirby Dach or Alex DeBrincat for Seth Jones. If they get something like that they may have enough to make something work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at their page on Cap Friendly, https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/bluejackets , and they only have 4 skates signed past this next year. That feels really low? Not that I know much about the team but there's nothing they have that would make an Eichel trade palpable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but if they got Dach in a Jones trade, a Dach/5OA offer is competitive with the others we’ve heard. I’m still hoping for a Ducks deal, preferably one that leverages Zegras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their value is in guys I don’t think believe have realistic expectations to become cornerstones. This is typical of any NY sports team, probably because of the huge media circus surrounding them. The Yankees are notorious for pumping up their scrubs like they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. Meh. BTW, as others have stated, if the NYR do not absolutely blow GMKA out of the water with an offer that is head and shoulders above everyone else's, then I tell them to go pound sand. They are going to pay me an Eastern Conference and 'big city' premium to get their star into MSG or they can leave me alone. The mere fact that they're still in on this says that they will pay. Call their bluff because I don't have to deal. I'd tell them that, if they're serious, any deal includes Lafreniere. Period. If they say "no", I tell them "don't call back until Lafreniere is on the table because it's the only way you're getting your foot in the door...and you can shove Kaapo Kakko straight up your arse." <click> Edited July 23, 2021 by ExWNYer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
