Big Trade in Rangersville

[Vapor 0]

So this is what a guy told me on the bus from manhattan to jersey for yesterdays game at the CAA....

Prucha and Weeks to the Oilers for Sykora and Nedved.

Nowwww, he was telling me this like it was a done deal all booked and everything. Both of them dressed yesterday. I was thinking that it may be announced today.

I dont know where he got this information from, but a lot of people on the bus seemed to know about it.

In theory it is a good trade because weeks is terrible and Prucha just has not been the same. He may be young, but so was Mike York when we shipped him off to the Oilers for Olympic defensman Tom Poti. Mike York has dont nothing since. He had 1 30 goal season (his rookie year) and nothing since. Could this be the same for Prucha? I like Purcha and everything, but he has had an adismal year.

The problem is that the Rangers could have signed Sykora in the off season, and they did not. They could have also picked up Nedved off of Waivers, and they did not. They are also taking a hit on the cap.

I dont know where this guy got it from... but I guess we will see.

This would be the most pathetic trade in NHL history and I guarantee you the Rangers could score more than another guy who wears black tuuks on their roster for Prucha.

Im going to go out an a limb and say pruchas rookie year will be his best

Edmonton would be stupid to give up sykora he's had a great year there, and they just got nedved, why give him up already? I just dotn see this happening, it's not like edmonton is doing bad....

No offense, but didn't in the beginning of the season you also say you got the inside scoup that the rangers would be announcing a press conference to say they signed Leetch?

And we had sykora last year, all he was good for was an occasional backhand shovel top shelf in the shootout.

I hope this goes thru so it can be filed in the "Rangers get players back they had before and shouldn't have" folder. I still lawl when I think of them getting Kovalev back.

I said it was a rumor, as this one is. Do I trust a guy I just met who was babeling on and on how the rangers were going with win 7-1 (with Orr scorign 4)? You decide. Just some food for thought. I dont see why he would make this up out of thin air.

if the rangers wanted nedved, they would've took him off waivers. & they let go of skyora, just because he's having a good year, doesn't mean he fits the team any better than last year.

they were working out a trade with the blues to get rid of prucha, but davidson said no, he wanted one of their prospects instead.

someone on the subway told me koivu was gonna get traded to calgary for iginla. maybe we should start a thread for random rumors we hear from random strangers so we dont have to make a new thread for them all.

by the way, i overheard someone talking about how they read an e-mail from their brother this morning that said he heard the people at the table next to him at supper talking about a rumor they heard from someone working at burgerking that roy is gonna come back and play for montreal.
