Like I said before. Girardi was on a "maintenance day" at practice today, so his being dealt wouldn't be a shock. His money is spot on, too. $5.5m AAV.

But Girardi, Duclair, 2016 1st is TOO much. Get Duclair the fuck out of there and we're cool.

Situation w/ Zuccarello and Rangers has shifted since yesterday. Two sides have resumed discussions and want to try to still get deal done
This better fucking be true. Could be due to AV's meeting with Sather today. AV has been pretty vocal about his desire to have Zuccarello stay.

When Alain Vigneault says a player has a "maintenance day," it means he either has a career threatening injury or has been traded
The last 3 players to have maintenance days are Lundqvist (still gone, at risk of stroke), Nash (missed game, neck problems), and now Girardi. :D

Getting rid of Girardi's contract is a very good thing for the Rangers so if the Yotes are really accepting it then it's probably sweetening the deal quite a lot. It's comparable to Andrew MacDonald...

Mats Zuccarello and the #rangers are close to a deal.

Good, GOOOOOOD.

Awaiting details on Yandle to NYR trade (pending trade call) but ARI believed to be picking up 50 per cent of Yandle's money.

On the one hand, a defense of:

McDonagh-Girardi
Staal-Klein
Yandle-Boyle

is INSANE.


On the other hand, giving up Duclair is not acceptable.

As cool as it is that Duke and Domi will play together in the NHL, the fact it's on the Yotes, and likely with Strome or McDavid is some vile bullshit

The pieces are changing every second...

Sounds official now. Duclair, John Moore, 2016 first, for Yandle with ARI retaining 50% of his salary and Chris Summers.

I like the idea of acquiring Yandle. I don't mind trading away John Moore since he seemed like one of the most obvious pieces to trade away. The first round pick is whatever because it feels like we never have first rounders anyway. But giving up Duclair is serious WTF territory.

Exciting Day. Slats going for Cup or bust.

We likely got this year only and our window is just about closed, I think, so taking a shot might be worth it.

According to Bob

Yandle, summers and a pick for dulclair, Moore, 1st and another pick yet to be announced

Probably a 4th through 7th coming from AZ and a 2nd (conditional?) Going to AZ

Are the rangers the first team since the leafs in 2010 and 2011 to not have either of their own first round draft picks two years in a row?
