Good Afternoon Everyone:
Here is your third open thread of the day. There will be a new thread at the top of every hour, with updated information from the previous hour.
Let's try and avoid all the Fan Posts and Fan Shots about trades, so we can keep all the information to the threads.
Remember, a full recap of the day's events and more tonight on Blueshirt Banter Radio at 8 PM
Have at it kids.....
Update by Joe Fortunato:
11:47- The Washington Capitals kicked off their expected buying-spree by grabbing Dennis Wideman from the Florida Panters. The Capitals sent a 3rd round pick and Jake Hauswirth back the other way.
Richards rumor of the hour: There are people saying that the Rangers are close, there are people who are saying that the Rangers walked away and everything in between. We won't know until anything happens, so keep that in mind when you see all the rumors. Don't forget that Brad Richards is the hottest topic at this year's deadline. All we know for sure is that he would only waive his NTC for one team, and it's the Rangers.
It's noon now, so the trades will be coming in rapid-fire, make sure to keep it here for all the updates.

sure it makes no sense to trade him
for subpar packages. but the avalanche would trade him for a package that would appeal to them, i.e. talent with restricted salaries so that they can fit duchene under the cap
unless you put a package with a guy like staal or callahan in it, its not happening.
so basically, makes no sense for the rangers.

Staal and Callahan
are in vastly different classes. Callahan plus a blue chip prospect and 1st round pick could make sense for the Rangers
I think Thomas has fit Gordie Clark’s description of ‘dominating at your level’ before moving up in the world.

Well, Thomas still has another year of CHL before he can go to the AHL, so you can expect him to be there for another year while presumably Werek, Hagelin, and Kreider sign in the offseason.

yea, that NCAA nonsense was so bad for Stepan and McDonagh’s development, wasnt it?

Lot of people don’t realize how an extra year of development works out. Stepan, McD, Staal (OHL). You rush Kreider, you get stuck with Grachev 2.0 or the next MDZ project.
Blueshirt Banter, We've got some balls! *It's just pain.*
Krieder is already dominant at NCAA level. He is also a year behind Step, so it makes sense to pull him to the Pros after this season. Puts them on the same schedule, right?
he may be dominating…but he’s also been streaky for BC let him get some more time to get acclimated and if he goes pro then maybe start him with fudgie the whale

They can sign Thomas and have him on a ten game tryout next fall. If there is no room or he’s not ready it’s back to juniors for a season.
there is a max of 50 players under contract though, so that comes into play

CT can sign their own players. The Resevre list is for Ranger 2 way contracts only. You can always sign guys to Minor league only deals.
oh so just let them have crap so we can rush prospects and relive what has gone on with MDZ and Grachev. makes perfect sense.
by Michael Gleich on Feb 28, 2011 12:34 PM EST up reply actions
Grachev
Is still just 20. He hasn’t really been rushed. And he’s had to deal with a role change from center to winger
MDZ wasn’t exactly rushed. The Rangers thought he was ready, he sure looked ready the first 30 or so games of 2009-10. MDZ will be fine. He just needs to mature a little, which is not unheard of for a 20 year old.
Don't know if I'd go that far
MDZ made the jump from juniors to the pros and he never once looked ready to play in his own end from juniors through the end of his rookie year.
Here’s the difference
MDZ came in too early, and is now in the AHL.
McD spent an extra year in school and a few months in the AHL, and has actually filled in for Staal against 2 of the top offensive teams in the East.
Blueshirt Banter, We've got some balls! *It's just pain.*
To be fair, McD is filling an easier role. Offensive DMan is the rarest commodity in the NHL so it would make sense that it is the hardest thing to develop into. All the Rangers are asking McD to do, and I love the player and think he’s fantastic, is play solid in his own zone.
Sorry I touched a nerve with the NCAA comment. But personally I feel it is a bit overrated. It seems to be a league that is inferior to the CHL, but I could be way off base there
Also, the fact MDZ is in the AHL as a 20 year old doesn’t make him a bust. He still has plenty of time to develop.
To be fair
McDonagh is actually much more developed as a player in general than Del Zotto, whether he’s playing as a defensive defenseman or not. And he’s also facing a lot tougher competition than Del Zotto has been able to handle. There is nothing at all about McDonagh’s role that is easier than facing the cupcake competition MDZ has.
he was a winger in Junior so it was not a position change, unless you think he played center over Hodgson and Duchene.
He clearly turned a pro a year too early and I dont want to hear about how he had nothing to learn in Juniors because everyone knew he had issues he needed to work on beyond scoring totals.
by Michael Gleich on Feb 28, 2011 12:40 PM EST up reply actions
Yes he was a winger in juniors for one season
But he was a winger with Hodgson and Duchene and a pretty stacked Brampton team. Maybe he didn’t need to refine his abilities much for them to have success. One season with a very talented supporting cast might not have been enough
How many do we have now?

It seems like recent draft picks don’t count towards that list, only signed players. A lot of older Whale players that are creeping into the non-prospect stage of their careers (ages 24+) are RFAs after this season. I expect alot of them to be gone in the summer.
Werek, Hagelin, Horak, Campbell are all likely to get contracts this summer from the “prospect” ranks.

Though Bucci’s right, if the Stars know Richards won’t re-sign with them, then to not get anything is criminal.
Blueshirt Banter, We've got some balls! *It's just pain.*
Richards just addressed the media
According to Sirius208 update he said he hasnt been asked to waive his NTC, hasnt been told about any deal & “skated the hardest he has since the concussion”
Were they saying "Boo" or "Boo-urns?"

Im getting the feeling this is going to be quiet till 2 then have a bit of a frantic 2-3 oclock hour.
People who are overpricing their players will all of a sudden realize “shit, time’s run out and I have to dump this expiring contract for something!” and the ball starts rolling.

I wonder if Dale Tallon thinks he’s playing NHL11 on XBox and doesn’t realize it’s affecting his actual team.

He does have his niche, but he is taking a roster spot from someone next year, and with the emergence of Wolski and Zuke, he is rather useless. His contract is very movable. I don’t dislike the guy, but i have other plans moving forward. Hopefully the brass does too.
by The Blue Seats on Feb 28, 2011 12:36 PM EST up reply actions
I’d hold him and move him draft day. That skill will come in handy while we’re fighting for points, better to have 3 than 2 guys.
Not opposed to getting rid of him, just wouldn’t do it just for the sake of doing it.

Because they can get away with it
from the amount of talent the Canucks have. Luongo has been prepared to win a cup any year
Maybe it means he’s actually got enough luck to win a Stanley cup…or that the entire Boston defense and Thomas get some Mexican stomach-flu that keeps them out of the finals.

Notice the difference...
.. between Melo and Richards, as far as how the players handle it. Melo saying “if it doesn’t work out in NYC, I will take the Nets” vs. Richards decisive “I will only waive for NY” shifts who has the leverage. Kudos to Richards because “NY or bust” puts Sather in the driver’s seat. At 2:59, Joe N may realize it is Sather’s best offer, or be empty handed in July. Hopefully Sather doesn’t blink and his best offer is reasonable to us fans.
