BadI didn't really watch a lot of the Panthers cup run. For anyone who did, how was Tarasenko?

We weren't intending on paying Stammer $8+M to be a 2nd line winger, yet there we were. Previous chemistry with Sheary was a potential value-add when they signed Guentzel.I can't imagine our plan going into this season was to give the guy who was scratched down the stretch and into the playoffs a chance at being a 2nd line winger. That would be ludicrous.
It's either gonna be Paul (and we find a new 3C) or we acquire a winger via FA or trade.
Also, we didn't pay Guentzel $9M to see where he slots in based on chemistry. The guy is our bonafide first line winger lol.
They have plenty of pre-season games in Orlando to try.They should try Geekie as 3C. Maybe we strike gold with a Calder level rookie season.

Look - posting all this hopefully invokes the reverse-jinx mojo and Hagel and none of this happens and Hagel, somehow, is set on having a productive season being centered by Cirelli. I just don't see Coop (permanently) breaking up the Hagel-Point-Kucherov line.
The main buy-out window is closed, I believe.I am calling it now we are going to claim Trouba from waivers when the NYR waive him, work out a trade for another ex-ranger captain, and JBB is going to call it a day. WE are going to send Sheary for Trouba. We would gain 4 million in the cap wit the trade. JBB will tell us how he improved the defense, got a right handed defenseman,and we got tougher. Honestly it isn't terrible or good, but has JBB all over it. The rangers can then either buyout Sheary or flip him.
Roslovic wouldnt be bad on the right deal. Tatar is just sheary+, he actually does what he is paid to do. He has compete issues at times, but does have skill. I wouldn't act mind both of them for fix our bottom 6 especially if we find a taker for Sheary.I think it's way more likely we sign someone like Roslovic or Tatar for the 2nd/3rd line than move Sheary up to the 2nd. But that's just me.
How much does left vs right shot matter? Tatar shoots left, Roslovic right.I think it's way more likely we sign someone like Roslovic or Tatar for the 2nd/3rd line than move Sheary up to the 2nd. But that's just me.
Depends on who they play with, if they prefer shooting on on wing, and what system the team wants to run.How much does left vs right shot matter? Tatar shoots left, Roslovic right.
I am good with Roslovic. Depending on the cost.I think it's way more likely we sign someone like Roslovic or Tatar for the 2nd/3rd line than move Sheary up to the 2nd. But that's just me.
Some corrections. 5 years, not 10 years ago. But I'll meet you halfway at 7 years with the 2017-18 SC Champion team. Secondly, never inferred Guentzel would spark Tony. Never even implied any player would spark Anthony. I said hopefully Hagel stays productive with Anthony centering him... i.e. quietly acknowledging a potential loss/or stagnant result in doing so"Value add" is doing a lot of heavy lifting when we're talking about line chemistry 10 years ago when they were also playing with Sid.
The HPK line hasn't been a fixture though. Hagel has been moved back and forth between the 1st and 2nd. So assuming Hagel would supersede a guy making $2.5M more than him doesn't make sense. We paid Guentzel top line money...because he's a stud. Hagel isn't on that level yet. I'm not saying that lines might not get adjusted at some point, but we brought Guentzel in to be a 1st line winger and PP guy...not to hope he can spark Anthony f***ing Cirelli.

Guentzel-Point- Kucherov
Hagel-Cirelli-Roslovic
Paul-Glendenning-Tatar
Essymont-Grig-x/Chaffee/Mottee/fa bottom 6 player
That would be a hell lot better than what we currently have.
Stamkos didn't produce much 5 on 5 so I don't think he will slow Hagel or Cirelli much. The powerplay may have a drop off overall if we dont find another top 6 forward.Some corrections. 5 years, not 10 years ago. But I'll meet you halfway at 7 years with the 2017-18 SC Champion team.

So how about we bury this in the dirt and let me know what your favorite Publix Sub is. Square?
If we replaced Sheary with Rolovic that lineup would be better than last years top to bottom.I'd probably take Tatar over Roslovic and put him over Paul on the 2nd line. He's solid AF defensively, and, outside of his scoring drought in his short stint with the Avs, is still a a 15-20 goal scorer.
No way Glendening is displacing Eyssimont on the 3rd line.
I have a feeling Sheary is gonna be on the roster day 1, but hopefully we can move him. If not I think it'd be something like this:
Guentzel - Point - Kuch
Hagel - Cirelli - Tatar
Eyssimont - Paul - Sheary
Girgensons - Glendening - Chaffee
6 years x 1.5 million offer will be coming from JBB shortly. He could sell it as the pitch he made to stamkos, "come on man it is the same money in the long run man ."We probably need a right shot. Only Chaffee, Glendening, and Point are righties (and two of them tend to play center).
Roslovic is a right shot. AFP has him projected getting 3x3.
I am calling it now we are going to claim Trouba from waivers when the NYR waive him, work out a trade for another ex-ranger captain, and JBB is going to call it a day. WE are going to send Sheary for Trouba. We would take on 6 million in the cap with the trade and rangers gain 6 million plus have the option to trade or flip Sheary whenever. JBB will tell us how he improved the defense, got a right handed defenseman,and we got tougher. Honestly it isn't terrible or good, but has JBB all over it. The rangers can then either buyout Sheary or flip him.
If the rumours are true and the Rangers are focing Trouba out; I really could see JBB doing this.
Sorry I had to party with Sergie one last time before he left. But the Lightning always taking the Ranger ex-captains and ex- assistant captains on somehow. Callahan,Boyle,Girardi,JT Miller, and McDonough.I too am thinking of turning to crack after the events of today
For near league minimum he is better than Sheary , Chaffee, or Motte. We got to find some guys that are proven bottom 6 producers.Roslovic isn't a consistent enough performer, IMO. He's hit 20 goals once in his career.
Trade (or someone like Ondrej Kase working out) is probably the route to go.

Another guy I wouldnt signing on a one year deal. I thought he was still on EDM.I'm on the Henrique train
