Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted February 22, 2015 Unless Kenny is prepared to go all in for a blockbuster deal, its looking more than likely that we'll go with what we have. But unlike last year i feel more comfortable with that. Marchenko has come in and thrown a spanner in the works with his play. Babs, although really wanting a RH q/b on the blueline, has a RH shot in Alexy, who will im sure go on to be even better. Alexy and Q as next years bottom pairing bodes well for the Wings. I dont see us doing anything else apart trying to land Petry but im hearing he injured? Kindl Andersson Ferraro for Petry and Gazdic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Petry is hurt, is worse than anyone we have with the possible exception of Kindl who is the #7, and is a pure rental unless he wants to be the 7 here next season. Gazdic would be in the press box in the playoffs, and would probably spend most regular season games there too. From the Oilers perspective you get a guy the Wings recently demoted a serviceable 4th liner, and a guy who's might be a serviceable 4th liner. There is no reason for either team to do that.

Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted February 25, 2015 Kings seems to have traded their 1st (2015) for Sekera... well if that's the price for the rental - I hope that Kenny will not be trading... No need for Legwand 2.0 - no need for the panic moves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightfall 871 Report post Posted February 27, 2015 Kings seems to have traded their 1st (2015) for Sekera... well if that's the price for the rental - I hope that Kenny will not be trading... No need for Legwand 2.0 - no need for the panic moves I agree. Imagine what the price for Yandle is going to be. It will most definitely be a 1st and a rostered player like Nyquist. I would rather us stand pat and see how things go. We are one of the youngest teams in the league and our success/failure in the playoffs this year is going to be a building block for the future. Lets not get an expensive overpriced rental. 2 krsmith17 and TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted February 27, 2015 The price was always going to be high to get Yandle. The fact that he hasn't been traded after how many years of the rumors tells me that he is available but hasn't been actively shopped and/or the asking price is astronomical. 2 TheXym and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted March 2, 2015 Rangers gave up a lot to get Yandle. From what I've read, Duclair is Mantha/Larkin level potential who lit it up with Domi at the WJC. John Moore I'm meh on, but he has potential still. Plus, a 2015 2nd and a 2016 first. We could have matched or beaten that, but no thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightfall 871 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 This is an all in year for the Rangers. Lundqvist isn't getting any younger. Nash isn't young anymore. Their window of opportunity is closing with this team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
