Speculation: Roster Building Frenzy Part XX

[tlk]

The sports business articles are worth it.

beg to differ
I'm not a subscriber and not sure if it falls into this category (close tho), but I've read an article by non other than Amy Lawrence (at least i think it was her) on the Kroenkes. Blatant KSE pitch that was and I'm supposed to *pay* for that? Didn't even finish reading it was so bad.

PS could be nice overall ofc, don't mean to express an educated opinion all football coverage wise

I believe it was during the BLM protests and eichel was completely silent, and then when people were wondering if any buffalo player would say anything, he came up with a statement that went after property damage and ignored everything else entirely.

Good Lord, as if I didn't want him here enough already.

If any moves are to be made it’s in all liklihood during the coming week. It’s very very late anyway. Historically very few trades are made UFA+2 weeks but it happens.

Chris Drury has in all liklihood looked at multiple trades or moves. Ie trade for this guy, send Strome to another team. I am just shooting from the hip, but I would be surprised if we don’t go into camp with basically the roster we have now. Would love to be wrong, but…

The Eichel trade is still looming over this off season. Once/if it goes off there will likely be some follow up trades that are held up right now. Adams is probably trying to use this tension as leverage, even if it is quite indirect. The Rangers do have a decision to make soon regarding the long term center position.

Personally I have no problem going into the season as things are and see how the players adapt to Gallant's new system, and adjust accordingly. If both Zib and Strome have fantastic starts things get interesting for Drury.

We let the rangers backup goalie from 10 years ago play us.

The thoughts of Eichel with us actually makes me sick. He would be the most miscast player in New York since Randy Johnson. I want no part of him here, under any condition. No.

I can't wait for the Jack Eichel PEZ Dispensers at The Garden gift shop this holiday season.

I assume it'll be a headless jersey and the candy comes out of the neck?

He did whatever the Instagram equivalent of re-tweeting is. Some "high performance coach" called Dana Cavalea.

So what? Maybe as a pro jock he was smart enough not to offer anything on a subject that was out of his league.

Yeah that’s gets creepy to me. It’s too forceful. Let people choose when and which fights they want to get involved in.

... but he did offer something apparently ...

Personally, I don't need to hear or care for their (celebrities in general) opinions on any important topic.

Most of them are dumb AF on the topic they are commenting on anyway

don't attach player evaluations and politics

 

[haohmaru]

People are entitled to their opinions. Even athletes. Not everyone is going to agree with everyone. Can we stop with this?

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Let’s throw another log on the fire shall we

 

[duhmetreE]

Lets get back on track here... how are we getting Dvorak? West coast is in a severe drought... maybe we can add water to the package.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Don't distract from the original post I answered. I don't really. It just adds up to the neck-thing and the entitlement-thing for me.

not at all, move on from Dvorak

 

[Inferno]

Yeah this was posted way back when.

I'll just say this.

As someone who has super super pro eichel. If eichel has a fusion..my interest level will be 0. I'd say let's just go with what we have.

 

[duhmetreE]

2 way center
young
can skate
can score
can take faceoffs
has good term
untapped potential

Lafrenire Zibs Kakko
Panarin Dvorak Kravtsov
Kreider Chytil Goodrow
Barron/Hunt/Blais/Rooney/Reaves

Lindgren Fox
KAM Trouba
Nemeth Lundkvist

We keep all of our big prospects and land a longish term option to allow Chytil to develop. 360 win.

Ive have a weird fascination about either of two on the club.

Ive always liked Turcotte just because his name is Turcotte and my favorite player in 1989 was Darren Turcotte.

For Krebs, the year they won Kakko I probably hit the “SIM LOTTERY” button on Tankathon about 12,598 times.

Any time the Rangers didn’t go to the top they had auto picked Krebs in the Rangers spot, so he basically was on the team for me.

f*** it let’s give up multiple assets for either

Was there an actual rumor about krebs or just us wanting him?

 

[duhmetreE]

We let the rangers backup goalie from 10 years ago play us.

If a hypothetical deal was in place, at this point, the Rangers would be either sending their doctors to examine him or reviewing the records.

It would be a multi-step transaction that would obviously take some time.

This has to be a mandate from dolan to win the cup this year. Why else would management sit there waiting for Buffalo to cave regarding someone with a serious spine injury and huge attitude problems?

Seems mutually exclusive, unless you want to trade just picks.

Ok, if we get Dvorak for a 1st and trade Strome for a 1st, we good.

Can someone please provide sources for these “huge attitude problems” aside from demanding a trade and being stuck in hockey hell that was going to make Ryan F’ing Oreilly retire??
