OldSenileGuy posted:I imagine the "keep" list will be the guys you mentioned plus Miller OR Hayes, but not both. And I don't think it's necessarily a "safe" list, more of a "these guys are available but only if you really blow us away with your offer" I agree. Miller and Hayes are both good all-around players who are still pretty young (24/25), will be worth the term and value of their upcoming RFA contracts, and will still be able to play their roles on this team in a few years. Miller probably gets a comparable deal to Zibanejad, while Hayes probably gets less due to his lower point production this year. Both of them will be good pieces if the Rangers try to compete within the next 1-3 years, and their trade value should stay strong, too.

What would the Penguins offer for Miller? They don't seem to have any great prospects or players much younger than Miller. He's only 24 so he's not moving for pure futures - it'd have to be a good hockey trade.

Matt Zerella posted:I thought the reentry 50% thing was eliminated with the last CBA? Correct - re-entry waivers no longer exists. Starting in 1977, there was a waiver draft to start every season. Teams could protect a full roster - 18 skaters and 2 goalies, with rookies exempt - and teams could select any unprotected players, to promote competitive balance and let players go to an NHL team there they could play. It was also to prevent NHL teams from stashing NHL talents in the AHL, but that part of it became obsolete, along with re-entry waivers some years later. The waiver draft last happened in 2003, and re-entry waivers were eliminated in the 2013 CBA. Waivers are favorable to players - if their team doesn't want them in the NHL, any team who will keep them on an NHL roster can take them. If that team wants them back, they don't need to wait 24 hour or risk going to another team when their NHL team wants to bring them back to the big league.

AV used to make a lot of good decisions in deployments and can get the best out of players at times. It's also glaring when he doesn't do these things. He got 34 points out of Nick Holden last year by finding him some sheltered minutes. Now he's playing him on his off side on the first pair. See also, Pavel Buchnevich, fourth liner.

grack posted:You're absolutely delusional if you think a new coach is going to make New York any better. You can complain all you want about misusing players or whatever the gently caress but it doesn't get past the issue that the Rangers' roster simply isn't very good. Any other coach would try to make changes when they are giving up 30+ shots every night and often give up 10-20 more shot attempts then they take. But this is the coach who, early in the season with a healthy roster, iced a team with seven defensemen and three centers. I think he even went with 8D one game.

Why wouldn't the league want another successful expansion team? This new team is a free $650m. If Vegas wins the cup and Seattle succeeds, then the dreams of $1b for expansion to Quebec might happen.

Looks like the Rangers added an AHL defenseman, which makes sense since they've recalled a few of those. The other three guys in the trade are forwards. All are AHL depth, at best.

Last night's game was good. It seems like the rookies made fewer defensive mistakes than the vets have been making. It was great to have Tony D and Johnny Gilmour moving the puck. For the first time this year, we saw a team that could move the puck around the offensive zone, and even recover if the puck left the zone. This is going to be some watchable hockey with these young guys.

Ottawa is not very deep at forward, and are tied for 28th in the league in goals for. Gaborik only has 14 points this year, but that puts him on their third line. Gabby's seven goals would tie him for 6th on the Senators. His legs are literally held together by athletic tape, but he can probably still improve the Sens depth scoring.

Gaborik may also retire before the end of his contract - the last two years are less salary and this one was structured to avoid cap recapture rules. He turns 36 tomorrow. I could see him retiring after next year and leaving that last $6m of his $100m in NHL contracts on the table to play in Europe with fewer games (since he's injured for 30 per year anyway.)

McDonagh is definitely being used like CBJ used Nash - to find out which players are potentially available from other teams. I don't think they trade him soon unless they manage to pry lose one of those almost untouchable pieces.

Dido is a guy who I learned of when looking at who Gaborik was replacing in the lineup. He made the NHL last year at age 27, and has ten points this year, four of them on the power play. Looks like he got replaced by Zombie Marian Gaborik!

Five thoughts: 1) Gaborik scored a goal and an assist in his debut for the Senators - looks like he can bring some scoring depth to a team in dire need of it. They've definitely put some guys on the first line who can't keep up, but Gaborik brings some skills. He has a lot of wear and tear, but he'll have a long summer to get some rest. 2) Phaneuf scored the Kings' only goal in his debut tonight, but scoring a goal doesn't seem that impressive when Ryan Reaves does it first. 3) Rangers took 50 shots tonight and got shutout. That was Halak's first shutout of the year. Surprisingly, he has 42 career shutouts. 4) Neal Pionk led the Rangers with 23:04 TOI tonight. It's not like AV has much of a choice but to give rookies ice time, but that's more than Skjei and Holden. 5) Nick Holden was on the ice for all three goals against. While Nash and Grabner are boosting their trade value, this guy is reminding people that he's only worth a mid-round pick, or maybe a prospect with a third-pairing ceiling and AHL floor.

Skjei has moved from a sheltered role on a good team to a tougher role on a not-so-good team. He still looks good, but he also hasn't been able to use his skating to join the rush as much simply because the forwards have struggled to enter the zone regularly. It's going to be tougher as he takes on tougher defensive assignments (especially if/when McDonagh is traded) but I think he'll also benefit greatly from these young, mobile defensemen that are poised to replace the ancient statues which patrol the Rangers blueline. I don't think Holden was directly responsible for any of the Rangers goals tonight, but he didn't look very good.

5.35m per for Backlund. A glance at his age (29) and point totals (100 in the last two years, but never broke 40 before that) is a bit questionable, but his possession stats are great, and he seems to produce fairly consistently at even strength. Stats don't tell the whole story, but I seem to recall commentators calling him a very complete player with a good defensive game last year.
