Rangers Ducks talking McTavish

[Harry S Deals]

What other center's are available?

We're not on Dylan Larkin's list.
We want no part of Elias Petersson.
NJ isn't shopping Hischier that we've heard of.

The only other center I've seen on the block is JT Compher. And I MUCH prefer MacTavish to Compher.

I believe it was Confuscious who said sometimes it's better to skip prom than take the fat girl

Confuscious never saw what a low self esteem & Ozempic can do…

Lol good one first thing in the morning

Here is what Elliot Friedman is reporting.

This would be a HELL no from me, btw.

@FriedgeHNIC reporting that he thinks a key part of the Blues offer is the 11th overall pick

Would you trade:

11th overall

For

McTavish
2027 2nd Round (Blues)?

I will hate if we do this. My only thought is we want our second back in the deal to offer sheet another player we have our eyes on?

[TBone]

Holding out any commentary until we know something.

Id be all right with 11 for McTavish and our 2027 2nd back. I'd rather be shipping them something else in addition that we don't want, like Drouin.

I'll withhold judgement until we have details.

I wouldn't until I've exhausted my efforts to trade up and/or see what's available at 11.

If played as a center who would be his facilitator since he's really not one?

These centers who are really forwards feel like a recipe to underproductive money. More Pavel Buchnevich's.

I trust the amateur dept more than the pro side. I dunno I feel like the Blues can get a better player with #11 or jump up to 7th ish. I hate to use that much capital on a guy with red flags. Do we believe MM is a star? Seems over drafted at #3. I'm more comfortable with McMichael at center with his flags or a lesser move for another 2/3C tweener or just make the picks

End of the day I'm just not sure there is really that much difference between 11 and 15. Especially with the way the Blues have scouted the draft recently and had success wherever they've picked.

So I'm inclined to giving them the benefit of the doubt.

And if they truly go for that 2nd rounder back, that tells me they're thinking offer sheet. And thus i couldn't even completely judge this trade until that plays out

So the result could be McTavish and Bourque for 11.

Getting the 2nd back would be interesting, and guessing Dorofeyev would be a possible target. Army could work out a trade with Vegas instead of going the offer sheet route, something Vegas would probably be open to since they know they are vulnerable. Vegas doesn’t seem to have any attachment to specific players - they are just a means to an end, so they aren’t keeping Dorofeyev at any cost.

Not sure I believe these Robertson rumors, by the way, as he would have wrecked our salary structure, where as Dorofeyev would probably fit in with what we currently have. It’s obviously inevitable that we have to pay someone more than $8 million, but if you suddenly drop $14 mil on Robertson, guys like Thomas are probably going to feel very underpaid.

This occured to me too.

Is that our 2nd or theirs? It has to be ours to propose an offer sheet, yes?

Yeah would have to be our 2027 second rounder back from Anaheim that we traded them for Fowler.

Somebody like Dorofeyev is probably looking at the 1st-2nd-3rd compensation bracket. Has to be all your original picks.

The reality is Mctavish is far less of a risk than any of our draft picks, While I'd rather combine assets and get a bigger fish I'm don't know if that is even an option. I gotta think we have already explored other better options with no success.

[juan good eye]

Friedman said he believes our package for mctavish centers around the 11th.. Don't like that 1 bit... better be more coming back hope nyr win. F sake

i swear if that happens fire army and steen on the spot

[zamadoo]

I just think, what do the Ducks want, and why do they want to move McTavish?

As far as what he offers that we could use, I've identified one specific skill: shootouts. If he's a competitor who is hard to play against, I could see him as a fit, even on the wing.

Would a swap with NYR of Lafrenriere be in consideration? Or has he regained favor in NY? I've heard they're shopping Trocheck, but do the Ducks want him? I would.

Again, what do the Ducks want? Just a pick or two? Which would mean just to get him off their team...

[Pierre McGuire]

I wouldn’t be giving up any firsts for McTavish.

Maybe they want those 1st rounders to flip to Vancouver for Hronek.
I hope Army woke up this morning with a clear head.

[Ty Webb]

What about, as suggested above, 11 for McTavish and our second? With the thought that pick would be used for an offer sheet/trade

Didn't we just essentially want Kyrou off our team?

Players sometimes don't work out with teams or coaches. It happens.
