Trade deadline thread

The Rangers acquired Braun from the Flyers in exchange for a 2023 third-round pick. The 35-year-old blue liner is a veteran of 100 playoff games and can play on the left or right side, which gives the Rangers some flexibility.

After playing top-pair minutes in Philadelphia, Braun will likely slot into the third pair next to either Patrik Nemeth or Braden Schneider. In 61 games this season, Braun has scored five goals and 11 assists.

Braun is a pending unrestricted free agent carrying a cap hit of $1.8 million.

Always thought Braun was solid with SJ. Definate upgrade from Nemeth though he's been ok since the AS break. Can play either side i guess.
I wouldn't be surprised if they package both Georgiev and Gauthier together to recoup the 2nd/3rds. Chytil could become a nice sweetener to move up in the draft or acquire someone.

People are assuming that Georgiev is an unrestricted free agent he’s not he’s restricted so I don’t give a fuck if he doesn’t want to sign with us he will do what we tell him to do

 

[Ranger71]

Maybe he can have a few more solid starts down the stretch to improve his value even more. Huska could be ready to be the backup or they'll sign a vet. Garand is probably 2-3y away still.

I like the deals. Copp is a good player, is always ranked high in fantasy hockey which means he produces stats. Motte is decent in case someone gets hurt. Braun is good for depth. Always good to have extra dmen in the playoffs.

Goodrow-Copp-Kakko
Chytil-Rooney-Reaves

good bottom 6. Too bad they didn’t move Chytil. He doesn’t fit in

 

[strudwickisthebest]

How about Vatrano with Zib and CK. I’ve watched about 5 games all year (sad to say)

 

[Ranger71]

It will be interesting to see where it goes with Kravtsov. He's eligible to come back over soon but who knows what the restrictions are. Maybe Panarin and Shest can help patch up the issues with he and the organization.

Kravtsov is a pussy. Fans are going to instantly love Cobb. He's exactly the type of player Gallant will love. I'm so happy for Barron. He was fucked over by Gallant. Really one of just a few complaints I have with him. Otherwise, Gallant has been tremendous. Drury didn't do a good job with Barron either. They should have let the kid go play in the AHL instead of sitting around. Same with Hajek. I think the Rangers are going to package Kravtsov, Georgiev and Hajek in the offseason for a number 1 pick or perhaps to the Yotes for 2 secound rounders and a piece they can use going forward.

 

[Ranger71]

Copp is 54% on draws too which is a plus. Another thing that i think factored into who they brought in was that all of these guys have a connection with one anothrr through the USDP and/or Michigan which helps coming to a new team. Makes the transition a little more smooth.

 

[kreidertime]

Islanders need to fire senile Lou. The fact he didn’t sell shows you what an incompetent dumb fuck he is.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

As long as he keeps signing guys like Parise and Clutterbuck to multi-year deals while trading away guys like Devon Toews I say let him stay right where he is.
