Breaking: Rangers Get Yandle
UPDATE: Yup. I'm mad. They traded Duclair, and 2016 first and John Moore for Yandle with AZ paying half salary. I can't believe that A) they traded Duclair because AV is an asshole. B) That they traded their 4th 1 in a row. And C) That they had to do this because they signed Dan Bowyle instead of keeping Stralman. We get a good player - but the future is gone.
FURTHER UPDATE: They have to find more picks! I'm really mad about trading Duke. Absolutely loved that kid and what he could have been in our top 6. Looks like they kept Buch instead and are now extending MZA instead of trading him. Maybe they just couldn't stand the idea of having made 3 great third round picks as now Tambellini is also having a breakout season -- but after he and Buch and what's in Hartford the forward Cupboard is pretty bare.
Still Yandle is good and was the guy to get from Az rather than Vermette. A former first round bust named Chris Summers is also coming back in the deal, and we may have given up another pick to go with the first.
Yandle is signed through next year.
PICKS UPDATE: Rangers gave up 1 of this year's 2's, next year's 1 and got a 2016 4th round pick back. UGH! They still need more picks.

ugh - just don't get how you trade Duclair. So silly. 2 cups or Bust.
Yup. Hate trading Duke. Loved the Duke and Buch future.
Dumbbbbbbbb
Yep, hated trading prospects and picks but I look at it like this. The Rangers core is relatively young and the older ones are just hitting their prime. We could also eventually trade some of these players for prospects/picks. Sometimes you need to go all in, this apparently is it.
