2013-2014 NHL Trade Rumours and Announcements

[Johnnydollaz89]

You can have Yakupov. Anything the Rangers or any other team gives up for him will be to much. Goal scorers go to the dirty areas. Yakupov doesn't seem willing to do it.

Edmonton will probably expect a 1st round pick for Hemsky. Remember they got a 1st for Penner. So some team will likely do it. If it's the Rangers it's fine by me.

With so many injuries to goalies I'm surprised Miller is still a Sabre & the Ducks haven't considered trading one of their goalies. I understand in Anaheim's case though. It's tough for a contender to give up a UFA to be in Hiller when he's the only goalie on the roster with playoff experience.

Rangers wont give up a first for Hemsky and his cap hit doesn't fit here, Sather isn't dumb.

Well I think the Oilers might have been there last night to see Frederik Andersen - Oilers would be wise to get one of those goalies at some point

Edmonton Journal also reporting the rumors of the Rangers interest in Yak.

What does New York need?
Well, in the absence of Rick Nash, out indefinitely with a concussion, they could really use a winger or two to play with centre Brad Richards. You, the Oilers, can spare a winger or two – Ales Hemsky, who has undeniable skill level, but really needs a change of scenery; and Nail Yakupov, who was the No. 1 overall pick only two NHL drafts ago, and has the kind of upside that might make New Yorkers think of Alexei Kovalev.
What does New York have to give?
Well, the Rangers have developed a nice nucleus of similar, quietly effective defensive defencemen – Marc Staal, Dan Girardi, Ryan McDonagh. They were all big-minute munchers the last time the NHL played an 82-game season and, along with Michael Del Zotto, give the Rangers exceptional depth on the blueline.
Is there a match there?

Also...

Could the Rangers perhaps offer you a lifeline? Or throw you an anchor? Knowing Sather the way you do, you probably know the answer to that already.

MacTavish & Lowe are in D.C. to watch the Capitals host the Isles. The Oilers don't have anything I want other than Eberle so they must be their to watch the Caps right?:

G or MDZ will be moved soon, I feel it.

The Rangers cant afford to give up their blueline except MDZ but is he enough for Hemsky? By the way the Roosta looks happy:hdn:

So MDZ will be a healthy scratch tomorrow for our game against Monreal, Johnny Dollaz sense's a trade coming...
