New York Rangers Rumours

06 Sep 2025 00:55:36
If mctavish is a no go , habs should inquire about Anton Lundell…. Imo Lundell is a perfect fit for 2 c , he plays a 200 foot game and put up 45 points centering a 3rd line , so that number should go up playing on the 2nd line with demidov and laine
MTL sends hage and a 2nd round mtl
To FLA for lundell

Habs trades with rangers for Lafrenière
MTL sends Matheson and 2027 1st round
To nyr for Lafrenière

Slafkovsky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov lundell Laine
Lafrenière Newhook Bolduc
Anderson Evans Gallagher

MTL trades with devils
Habs send : Kirby Dach , 2nd round (Columbus) , 3rd round , Sean Farrell
To devils for : nemec

Guhle Dobson
Hutson nemec
Xehjaj carrier
Struble reinbacher

06 Sep 2025 15:37:32
- why would the champs trade a key piece for futures when they’re clearly a candidate for a Cup this year?

- Habs are on record that Hage won’t be traded. You’re a Hab fan and you know this.

07 Sep 2025 02:10:26
Because Florida is 4.5 million over the cap and by the new playoff cap rule they won’t be able to activate tkatchuk without a trade . I know habs don’t want to trade hage .. but for a 23 yr old cost control 5yrs 5million legit 2 c , I think they should do it ! I personally value more hage than a 2026 15-25 1st round pick but I think Florida does too

09 Sep 2025 15:02:21
From how I read it the lineup just has to be cap complient. I do think Florida is going to have to get creative and may need to move some guys out; but that's why they pay someone the big bucks to do so.

As for the trade Lindell isn't going anywhere. Florida looking to 3peat this year and Lindell is a big part in rhat potentially happening.

Habs should just ride it out with their roster. Goaltending is still meh in the grand scheme. There's hope for Dobes to have continued success and Monty to take another step. Goalies are so hot and cold tho so we shall see. But Dach or Bolduc could take that 2C spot and run with it out of camp and into the season. Demidov could get some looks at 2C as well. No need to make a trade involving any 2026 1st until the deadline where they can see where they are at in the standings.

Last year's playoff appearance was ahead of schedule for the Habs. And they shouldn't look to get of course because of it. Hughes has the chance to make them great again if he builds the roster properly and players develop as they should.

10 Sep 2025 03:00:58
I tend to agree with MG. Why not see what you’ve got and accumulate more cap space for a deadline deal, if needed and warranted? There may be a hot deal to swoop in on, especially for teams that took care of their cap situation early?

11 Sep 2025 15:05:26
Im with MG69 on this. Everyone had an extra year of experience, hopefully everyone is healthy( im thinking of Dach most of all)
Let em play! Interested to see how Bolduc and Dobson fit in, and who will replace Savard, Armia and Dvorak as penalty killers..

Excited for this season!!!!

05 Sep 2025 23:04:28
Trades Montreal could make
1- habs trade with ducks
MTL sends 2026 1st round,both 2026 2nd round and Kirby Dach
To Anaheim for Mctavish ( signs for 7-8 yrs at 7.5 per)
2-habs trades with rangers
MTL sends : Mike matheson and 2027 1st round

So MTL gives up a 1st (in 2026 no less) and TWO seconds to dump price, get two 7th rounders, and Poulin?

For reasons already stated Rielly won’t waive.

03 Sep 2025 16:36:06
Karlsson was a very god player. was. not sure he puts you over the hump.

05 Sep 2025 03:56:11
McTavish is a stud, but you don’t overpay to this degree. This is a can’t miss deal for ANA.

31 Aug 2025 04:10:42
Habs say with it and go all in for the future now!
Montreal trade for ideal 2 c in McTavish
Habs send : Dach, 2026 1st round, 2027 1st round
To ducks for McTavish
Habs trade with rangers
MTL sends laine and Matheson

Montreal get to keep hage which will be on the 2nd line in the future either as a winger or center with McTavish

31 Aug 2025 12:03:39
- ANA deal is close to fair, but ANA gets another prospect to make it happen. However, I’d be reluctant to trade a ‘26 1st…it is going to be a deep draft.

- the second deal is lopsided for the Rangers. I’d rather have the younger Laine than the bread man any day of the week. Matheson, if traded, will bring in more on a separate deal.

31 Aug 2025 13:23:57
No way in the world The Ducks get two firsts plus a prospect plus Dach for McTavish.

31 Aug 2025 17:40:52
For the ducks trade habs add engstrom only if ducks adds Tristan luneaux
The panarin deal is because I feel like the chemistry he and demidov would have would be gold, and panarin could resign at reasonable price to win that elusive cup.

01 Sep 2025 00:23:21
Adding luneau 6foot1 200 pounds RHD with offence
Actually sets habs dcore for the future
Guhle (2 way d) Dobson (offensive d, 2way)
Hutson ( offensive d) reinbacher (defensive d)
Xhejaj or struble ( defensive d) luneau ( offensive d)
Dobson being the oldest at 25 years old.

15 Jun 2025 03:14:34
I’ve been paying close attention to Anton Lundell, and I believe he would be the ideal trade candidate for habs! He’s only making 5mil per for next 4 years!. Florida could then resign Bennett ,ekblad and Marchand,. Habs would have a responsible 23 yr old 2way 2nd line center
Habs send (16 or 17 overall ),( Owen beck or Oliver Kapanen )
To Florida for Lundell
Habs also trade with rangers
MTL sends : (16 or 17 overall) engstrom and struble ( but might have to be matheson)
To nyr for Alexis Lafrenière

15 Jun 2025 19:21:33
Doubt FLA moves Lundell. They're very likely to lose Bennett this offseason so they need him as a 2C. If they were to move him, my guess would be that they move him for a better C

15 Jun 2025 19:22:43
I'm saying Bennett likely won't re-sign because he's probably the most attractive center option in free agency, so I'm guessing a lot of teams are willing to put money on the table, which Florida has a limited capacity to do

18 Jun 2025 15:17:37
I bet Bennett stays. They have a chance to go for three and that opportunity doesn't come around often. I won't be shocked at all if some team friendly deals are made to keep them together.

24 May 2025 23:03:46
Montreal has 18 million in cap space
I think if they want they could trade laine to Vancouver for a 2nd round which would clear 8.7 to make it roughly 27 million
Montreal trades with wild
Habs send 17th overall, 2nd and 3rd
To wild for Marco Rossi sign him to 6yrs 6 million
Montreal trades with rangers
Habs send 16th overall, Newhook, struble and beck or Heineman
To rangers for Alexis Lafrenière 7.4 per
Habs sign Johnathan Toews 1yr 2,5
MTL still has 15,5 million in cap space
Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov Rossi Lafrenière
Dach Toews Gallagher
Anderson Evans flo xhejaj

25 May 2025 00:12:13
Just remember Hutson needs to be signed. And Demidov soon as well. I know cap is going up, but both are gonna command a hefty price

Id kick some tires on Kuznetsov from KHL.. I'm not a huge fan, but I'm thinking for Demidov .. maybe a 2 year 4m per..
Love to see Lafreniere in a Habs uniform, but not at expense of Heineman , Struble ect..
Whats exciting about the Habs is the depth they have with these young stars.. They need the Heinemans and Strubles to win. I think some minor tweaks are needed, but now it's time to let the boys grow into what they are.

25 May 2025 02:16:22
By the time Hutson new contract is up the cap is rumoured to be 8.5 million more so habs would have 24 million + Mathesons 5 million off, so there’s plenty of money for demidov and Hutson then the next year there’s Gallagher and Anderson off the books that’s another 12 million . Habs are in a great spot!

29 May 2025 13:53:15
I don't see the Canucks making any trade for Laine, but I could see a trade where Habs acquire 15th overall, for the 16th overall and 1 of the Habs 2nd round picks.
This would be contingent on whether Carbonneau is available at 15th.

18 May 2025 16:39:00
I wonder if habs would consider adding zegras on the cheap .. (5.75 1 yr)
trade for Lafrenière (7.4 7yrs)
And trade back for danault (5.5 2yrs)
Habs trade: 17th overall , laine (cap dump)
To ducks for zegras
Habs trade 16th overall, engstrom , beck
To rangers for Lafrenière
Habs trade: Newhook , 2nd round
To kings for danault

Slavkosky Suzuki demidov
Lafrenière zegras Caufield
Dach Danault Gallagher
Anderson evans heinemen or Flo xehjaj
MTL still have around 9 million in cap space

18 May 2025 18:33:35
The only team saying yes to any of those is Montreal.

20 May 2025 13:18:30
Habs decline all and stay the course.

You are the MTL "Pinball" of trades.

23 May 2025 18:15:11
To me, Beck should somewhat be considered untouchable. The kid is gonna be a tremendous leader as well as great penalty killer and 3rd line center man for potentially 10 years. He will be the type of guy that you win playoff series with.
He might not be flashy, and won't score 30 or 40 goals, but he will do the little things that don't get noticed on a stats sheet.

16 May 2025 01:23:49
Montreal trades with ny islanders
Montreal trades: 16th ,17th overall, Mailloux,Josh Roy, Owen beck , laine (if it takes more I’m listening if I’m Hugues)
To islanders for : horvat and Dobson (signs at same cap as Caufield)
This still leaves habs with cash to go sniff around rangers about panarin ( 1yr , 11.6) or Lafrenière (7yrs , 7.4)
For: Newhook , engstrom ++

Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov horvat Lafreniere or panarin
Gallagher dach Anderson
Heinemen evans Flo xehjaj

Hutson Dobson
Guhle Carrier
Xehjaj Matheson

16 May 2025 03:43:18
The Islanders would do better trading each guy separately. The only really desirable pieces are the two picks and you're trying to dump Laine on them as well.

I can't see the Islanders having any interest at all in that.

16 May 2025 14:02:15
Full respect to Horvat and Dobson, but there’s other options that won’t require so many assets.

22 May 2025 13:49:21
Not sure what the Habs cap situation is looking like, but Ekbald would be a great add for them on the backend. These playoffs he's really come into his own. Reminds me of Pietro as of late. Gives them the option to deal less assets to go after a 2nd line center ?‍♂️.

12 May 2025 03:14:39
Two trades that would solidify end of habs rebuild
1- mtl trades with rangers
MTL sends : Mailloux, 16th overall and Adam engstrom
To rangers for: Alexis Lafrenière ( 6foot2, 200 pounds) 23 yr old 6 yrs left at 7.4 per
2- mtl trades with ny islanders
MTL sends 17th overall Joshua Roy and a second round
To islanders for Bo horvat (6foot1 215 pounds) 30 yr old 6yr left at 8.5 per

Slavkovsky Suzuki Caufield

Newhook Dach laine

Habs could try and trade for pending free agent Rasmus Anderson
MTL sends : heinemen, second round, struble
To Flames for Anderson
Def
Anderson Hutson
Carrier Guhle
Xhejaj matheson.

12 May 2025 16:14:07
- seems like a huge overpay for Lafrenière, who took a big step back this season.

- Horvat is a great target for MTL, but the Isles would likely want a better prospect than Joshua Roy, who I just don’t see developing into an every-day NHL player.

- Andersson is very good, but MTL would be better off graduating Mailloux or Reinbacher. If neither is ready, a trade for someone with more term than one year would undoubtedly be favoured.

12 May 2025 17:40:44
I'm thinking for Horvat the Habs would probably have to offer up Micheal Hage , which I wouldnt be comfortable doing, however to get these type of players, ya need to give up something as well.

Id like to see Lafrenier be added, however, I don't know what that looks like atm..

Have the management given up on Dach as the 2nd line guy?? I'm torn on this. I dont think I'm quite ready yet. However his injury history is obviously worrisome..

14 May 2025 14:38:14
I haven’t given up on Dach yet . Tage Thompson is a hopeful comparison, he started coming into his own at age 24, that’s where Dach is now, but I think for this year he’s better suited for the 3c role.

05 May 2025 03:59:56
I believe rangers are gonna go for a retool, I think they’ll go after Mitch marner and to do that they’ll have to trade panarin and or will give up on Lafreniere after a 45 point in 82 games
This is where habs should strike. Panarin would be perfect for demidov
Habs trade : Newhook, Anderson, both 2025 first round, both 2025 2nd round picks , Jaden struble and Owen beck

Rangers Trade
RSmith*

Leafs Trade
NRobertson
2nd Round Pick 2025

*Rangers retain 50% of RSmith s expiring contract.


Can actually see this happening.

05 Mar 2025 20:37:35
“Can actually see this happening. ”

Compared to what? The stuff you normally post? ?

- Based on the two 1sts, a 2nd, and prospect that TAM just gave up for Gourde & Bjorkstrand, your offer can kindly be described as “hopeful, optimistic, naive, with a touch of rose-coloured glasses”.

- Robertson isn’t the prospect you think he is. He’s played parts of 5 seasons now. Teams know what he is, and he’s a smallish 3rd liner who hasn’t been able to play regularly in Toronto despite the leafs needing young guys on cheap ELC’s. Robertson is just a throw-in, and nothing more.

05 Mar 2025 23:09:17
Here’s a retention comparable:

- DET got a 4th for retaining 25% of Gourde’s 5.1M deal from SEA to TAM.

- SEA is retaining 50% as well, so you could reasonably deduce the 2nd is for retention.

Looks like the market is clear for what retention costs at this deadline.

If this is the case, Pinball’s 2nd is for retention, and he’s proposing Robertson for Smith. (That ain’t happening anywhere but fantasyland. )

06 Mar 2025 19:49:25
Smith just got traded for a mediocre prospect and a 3rd with the Rangers retaining 50 percent of the contract. Pinball for once offered something better.

07 Mar 2025 09:41:26
Well said CC. That was a strange one, but it looks like the Rangers asking a vet “where do you want to go”, and accommodating him. Good for them, but it will take a lot of work to rehab the perception of how the NYR treat their players after a season like this. Dolan is killing his team, and has been for years.

02 Mar 2025 16:33:39
2 Trade Proposals

Nashville Trades
O'Reilly
LSchenn*

Toronto Trades
Domi
Timmons
Minton (AHL)

*Preds retain 50% of LSchenn's remaining contact.


NYRangers Trade
RSmith**

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
2nd Round Pick 2025

**Rangers retain 50% of RSmith's expiring contract.


Leafs improve the 3rd line without giving up the farm except for Minton and a 2nd Rounder and are at the cap limit after retention from The Preds and Rangers.



Thoughts ?

02 Mar 2025 17:23:12
You need to include draft pick compensation for salary retention. Chicago retained 23% of Seth Jones' salary for 5 years and received a conditional 1st round pick in return.

Your last trade offer for O'Reilly was better.

O'Reilly with no salary retention for Domi, Minten or Cowen, and a 2nd round pick would be fair value.

17 Feb 2025 01:51:20
Seeing rumors of Crosby going to Colorado because of winning and friends with mackkinon. Thought I'd take a shot. Pittsburgh: Crosby......Colorado: 2025 nyr 2nd, 2026 col 1st, Casey mittlestat, callus Ritchie. Cap should work for now. Or Pittsburgh retains maybe a couple million put their other 2025 2nd and something else.

24 Feb 2025 20:49:17
I do think Crosby will retire as a penguin, just value wise I was suggesting.

Timmons


*Rangers retain 50% of both RSmith and Borgen's expiring contracts.



Thoughts ?

31 Jan 2025 05:58:01
You do know teams pay for retaining salary?

31 Jan 2025 15:32:54
No he doesn't Tury, he just thinks every other team is there to serve his team by retaining salary and accepting unbalanced trade values.

05 Feb 2025 18:16:53
Value wouldnt be fair for the Rangers even if Borgen was still a pending UFA.

Oh, they extended Borgen for 5 more years? I guess that means you should add Kampf to make this even less fair for NYR.

09 Jan 2025 00:07:59
Vancouver decides to trade both.

1st trade

Detroit sends Dylan Larkin $8,700,000 (whom requested a trade earlier this year)
and use their Projected Cap Space
$3,437,594 to aquire:

Elias Petterson $11,600,000


2nd trade

NYR sends
(c) Filip Chytil (4.4)
(rw) Alexis Lafreniere (2.325)
(D) Braden Schneider (2.2)

To Vancouver for:
(c) J.T. Miller - 8m
(rw) Kiefer Sherwood 1.5M

09 Jan 2025 12:47:46
the rumour about larkin requesting a trade was false! wings say no to this trade!

09 Jan 2025 14:27:54
Larkin did NOT request a trade earlier. And I would not accept Petterson for Larkin 1 for 1. Patterson has more talent, but Larkin's compete level has never been questioned, and he is a leader, unlike Petterson.

09 Jan 2025 15:43:29
- IF the Larkin rumour was true, VCR would do both trades.

- Both DET & NYR are weaker after these trades.

- 2 troubled teams like NYR & VCR should be able to come together on a trade where they can exchange problems to see if a change of scenery could help either or both.

10 Jan 2025 15:12:31
Skill-wise petey > Wings, BUT value to organization wise, Larkin should be untradeable. Trading a captain is not a good look and he is the foundation for the Wings.

The NYR is interesting but didn’t they have JT already? I also think Laf has earned his spot so it’s unlikely they trade him.

04 Jan 2025 21:13:18
Moving some big pieces off the flames.

To TOR:
Kadri (2mill retained each year)
Klapka

To CGY:
Danford +
2026 1st OR 2025 2nd +2026 3rd
--------------------
To NYR:
Rasmus Andersson
2025 NJ 1st or 2025 FLA 1st(whichever is later)

To CGY:
Braiden Schneider + 2025 NYR 1st
2

05 Jan 2025 06:06:40
The first trade looks alright. Might be tough to trade Kadri knowing that he's got one foot out the door.

Last trade I doubt NYR would trade schneider. I think NYR is pretty high on him. But never know what Drury will do!

04 Jan 2025 16:19:58
If Austin Matthews is put on the shelf for the rest of the regular season I have a proposal that I can see happening.

NYRangers Trade
Zibanejad

Toronto Trades
Minton (AHL)
2nd Round Pick 2025


Considering what The Rangers have traded away and got for Trouba and Kakko this is about right for Zibanejad imo.

This will give The Leafs the centre they are looking to acquire as Zibanejad check marks everything.

Rangers obviously tearing some things down helps them Cap wise and more prospects for the future.



Thoughts ?

04 Jan 2025 17:27:55
I think we should keep minten and trade Cowen.

04 Jan 2025 18:23:10
Hrenklin
If you are The Rangers do you want Minton or Cowan?
Leafs would have more Centre depth adding Zibanejad compared to RW is why Minton from both Teams makes the most sense, Cowan is still a higher prospect than Minton is imo, can't go by that tournament he is going to be I believe a star player in the end.

05 Jan 2025 03:30:20
Cowan's stock went down drastically after the tournament. For a returning player he looked so out of place. Hopefully he can regain some form in the back half of the season and get his stock up.

As for the trade I don't think the Rangers have entered into a complete fire sale yet and even if they do I doubt Zibby is one to go. You don't sign your franchise goalie to that type of money and then trade a guy like Zibby who keeps you somewhat competitive. NYR is in shambles though so who knows.

05 Jan 2025 05:57:26
How does Toronto fit Zibanejad contract in, when everyone is healthy?

Please try again

Toronto needs forward depth and Defence more than anything.

05 Jan 2025 13:52:46
BumbleBeeTuna18
This can only happen if Matthews is injured enough to go on LTIR for the regular season, in the playoffs there is no Cap.
That's how it fits.
