    look how quickly Hayes made an impact....Kreider also....win now? what does that mean? this next season? the next 2 or 3? No reason a top pick cannot come in and contribute right away

    that salary addition is a product of " win now" mentality by the way

    I wish Pens were stupid enough to trade Nash for Malkin

    If we add McDonagh to the deal, sure, maybe we'd get Hall or Nugent-Hopkins.

    The only way they get a roster player is if Chiarelli panics right before the draft and offers Yakupov. Even then the Rangers would probably have to add Klein, which is fine since he stinks, but it's a huge longshot.

    Klein stinks, you kidding...did you watch him this year? He was arguably our best defenseman till he broke his arm, with a cap friendly contract

    Yeah, he was hot for two months then went back to being the same mediocre 3rd pairing Dman he's always been. Yandle helped carry him in the playoffs when they were together but they can get someone to do that at much cheaper than $3M per.

    Disagree he played well the whole season right up until he broke his arm, he wasn't the same in the playoffs

    If you think Talbot on his own could return a player like Taylor Hall, then I'm really not sure what to tell you. I'd like to assume maybe you're joking?

    Yeah maybe your joking, a starting goaltender for an underacheiver who is wearing out his welcome in Edmonton, 14 goals and 38 points big fucking deal

    Well you can have this opinion if you want it, just know no one in the entire league shares it and you're going to be massively disappointed when you find out what they actually got for Talbot.

    I'm a Ranger fan which means I know they will get shit for him, I'm used to disappointment, a draft pick is a waste for us, but you are overselling Hall, Nugent-Hopkins is much better

    Well I certainly disagree, but either way Talbot isn't getting you anywhere close to those players nor should he.

    I disagree with you, as always, Yakupov is doable as is Justin Schultz...you underestimate desperation, quality tending is a commodity
