Salary Cap: 2015 - 2016 New York Rangers Roster Building Thread Part VI

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Why does Grigorenko need waivers so early?

I may be wrong but I think he has played out his ELC.

Same boat as Mcilrath? Don't quote me on this. Just what I rhink.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Yandle is a core guy. His skill set doesn't exist on this team anywhere else. You move Girardi and or Klein to keep him 10/10 times - they're redundant and their game isn't nearly as important or hard to find.

You move Girardi before Klein.

 

[silverfish]

You move Girardi before Klein.

Unless you're getting a guy who can take first pairing right D minutes back for Girardi, you certainly do not move Girardi before Klein.

I know, I know, Girardi can't even take first pairing right D minutes blah blah blah

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

You move Girardi before Klein.

Girardi is better than Klein.

 

[Matz03]

I know, I know, Girardi can't even take first pairing right D minutes blah blah blah

you already have McDonagh for the top right spot

 

[Kakko]

Girardi is better than Klein.

And makes twice as much

 

[silverfish]

you already have McDonagh for the top right spot

There is no reason to make McDonagh a right-side D on the New York Rangers. He's not as good there. We don't have anyone as good as him on the left-side.

Yandle or Staal? Fine. Not McDonagh.

D corps I'd be happy with next season:

McD - G
Staal - Shot suppressor
Yandle - Boyle
McI

McD - G
Staal - Klein
Yandle - Boyle
McIlrath

McD - G
Staal - Yandle
Hunwick/Hunwick Equivalent - Boyle
McIlrath

Suter - Karlsson
McDonagh - Weber
Keith - Subban
McIlrath

Can Ehrhoff play the right side? Would he take another one-year deal?

 

[Cassano]

If Grigs can't crack Buffalo, why would he make the Rangers, who have better center depth?

Lol so in it wildest dreams mcilrath is still the 7th d

I don't think it works that way.......but I could be wrong.

Gotta stay cap compliant, bruh

 

[haveandare]

Like AV, I'm hesitant to use defenseman on their off-hands....

I'd consider a Staal - Yandle pairing for the upcoming season.

Only due to the fact that he is a right-handed shot, I believe G will be harder to replace than Staal. You add that shot suppressor next to Yandle (after dealing Staal), and that Yandle pairing can alleviate some of the minutes of the Girardi pairing, boosting Girardi's effectiveness in the process of allotting him easier situations.

Let's just get it over with already and trade Nash for Shattenkirk

McD - G
Staal - Shattenkirk
Yandle - Boyle
McIlrath

hhhnnnggggghhhhh

A lot of teams get by fine without being so rigid about handedness. I think av takes it a little too far. I think G is easier to replace simply because he's an inferior player.

Shattenkirk would be a godsend but I'm not holding my breath on that happening.

In that sense then, if Ehrhoff can play the right side, he's exactly the kind of guy our D needs...

Can Ehrhoff play the right side? Would he take another one-year deal?

I believe he can. And he played for AV in Van. He'd be a good option on a 1 year deal, but Id imagine he can get more.

Come play for AV and have a legitimate shot at the cup.

1 year, $4m

Exact deal Pit gave him.

He played half the season and had 2 concussions, he's not getting 1/4. 1/2 at the most. I like his game, and he thrived under AV, but he's a gamble.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

1 year 2-3 mill? Sign me up.

 

[silverfish]

If Ehrhoff gets the equivalent of $2m AAV on the open market on a deal three years or less in length, I will **** myself.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Yandle-McDonagh
Staal-Boyle
Ehrhoff-Klein
Hunwick/McIlrath

Girardi/Talbot for Top-6 winger.

That would be a great off season.

 

[rangers1314]

If Ehrhoff gets the equivalent of $2m AAV on the open market on a deal three years or less in length, I will **** myself.

And considering his recent injury issues, I'd be shocked if he gets more than a 1yr deal.

Plus, if he thinks hes worth more, why wouldn't he want to take less term so he can revive his value and hit the open market again?

A system he knows, a coach he was his best under, if he wants to rebuild his value. Maybe here with AV will give him the best chance at that.

- Zucc will be hitting the ice along with Brassard, Hagelin, Kreider, and Hayes on the 19th for a charity game in Norway. Good news, right?

- Ottawa Senators has put out a wish list of what they think they could get for goaltender Robin Lehner. If that's the price it is for Lehner, this market is looking solid for Talbot, too.

- Some blogger posted the RFA compensation rules. If Hagelin doesn't get resigned and gets offer sheeted, NYR could get a 1st and 3rd round picks for his offer sheet (if they choose to not match).

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Erhoff makes too much sense.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Zucc looks healthy that's great!

 

[Vitto79]

Erhoff makes too much sense.

At what salary ? They wing be adding more than a 2 million player

He really tanked this year. Concussions will drive his market down.
