Huge inside rumor I am hearing.
At deadline, you may see a major deal between Sharks and Rangers, only thing that may prevent this from happening are that Rangers are unsure if they are willing to move Talbot this year but Sharks scouts are really impressed by him and consider him a goalie upgrade over Niemi. They feel Talbot could get them into the playoffs and be there future goalie. If it gets completed, they might move Niemi elsewhere nearly right after.
To San Jose: Carl Hagelin, Oscar Lindberg (prospect), Cam Talbot, Pavel Buchnevich (Prospect)
To NY Rangers: Logan Couture, Alex Stalock
Rangers roster (lines) moving forward would be:
Nash - Brassard - Zuccarello
Kreider - Stepan - Hayes
Jt Miller - Couture - St. Louis
Glass (Fast) - Moore - Stempniak
McDonagh - Girardi
Staal - Klein
Moore - Boyle
Hunwick
Lundqvist
Stalock
Yikes.
What do you think? Good or bad move and for whom?
1.) Couture as your third line C? Doesn't seem like NYR would want that. Wouldn't they take another young player instead?
2.) Hahahahahahahaha San Jose will NEVER trade Couture, too much potential. Can Talbot be a starting goalie? Odds are no, maybe an above average back-up, he isn't a prospect anymore.
3.) This doesn't make much sense to me at all. San Jose wouldn't be able to send Stalock back and then trade Niemi later they need 2 goalies and no way they turnover both goalie spots at the deadline. That package is not enough for Couture. Lundqvist is still injured and San Jose doesn't think Stalock can start yet so why would rangers pin their playoff hopes on him? Especially if he's such a big downgrade from Talbot. I just can't make sense out of it personally.
4.) Also Couture AND St. Louis on your third line? Those would be 2 of the top 3 forwards on the team no way they're lower than second line
5.) Rangers are looking for another C. The lines are unknown as they will be juggled around till playoffs, but they are highly interested in Couture and San Jose Sharks are highly interested in prospect (Buchnevich), and goalie Cam Talbot. Hagelin or Zuccarello would be part of the deal, along with another prospect, that is the rumor.
6.) That doesn't even get you couture. Thornton said he would only waive his NTC for NYR to play with Nash. So if you want Thornton hit us up. If you want Couture, start with Brassard.
7.) Duclair and a first at least would be going for that deal
8.) If sharks give up Couture they would be asking for mcdonagh back

6 for 1 deals almost never happen.
