Speculation: Roster Building LX: The Return of Cap(tain) Crunch aka LB Bus Stop Theme

[bobbop]

I think they'd rather do whatever it takes to move Frolik than trade Bennett.

Pretty good chance they buy out Michael Stone.

Who, under certain circumstances (e.g. Shattenkirk buyout) could be a buy low 7th defenseman candidate for Rangers.

So what did the Leafs do that caused this outage? 7 Free agent signings?

They are going over the cap by paying two players that won’t even consider playing this season. Cheaters!

Leterri signs with us and we cant break hf board?

Wtf!

Christian Djoos is apparently on the block from the Caps after getting a 1y/$1.25M arbitration award. He has excelled when he's gotten the chance next to Carlson and even managed to put up very good numbers with Brooks Orpik as his partner.

We let Freddy Claesson, who was perhaps our best LD last year, walk depite a $715k QO.

Getting a very good and cheap LD every summer is trivial. While elite LDs are almost as rare as unicorns (much rarer than elite RDs), good/decent ones are dime a dozen. @Ola

“Offershat”

When the board was down this morning I checked Twitter to see if a big trade went down and the first thing that was trending was “Chabot.” Almost had a stroke for a sec I thought it was Thomas

going to post what i think is a much more realistic way out of the "cap kerfuffle" we're in. no outlandish blockbusters lol. It will be fairly long and many of you may skip it, but I also think it is realistic and would be the best case scenario aside from the cap magically going up tomorrow. youguys may even want to make me GM after it

Years ago (about 30) I called into WFAN and asked Howie Rose if Per Djoos was good enough to allow the Rangers to trade James Patrick. Howie just laughed at me.

How dare you besmirch Jeep in such a manner?!?!?!?!?

To be fair, Djoos did show some flashes in the half season or so he suited up.

You know, it's amazing. There's work to be done now, but despite the three S's, the Rangers are in PHENOMENAL salary cap shape, even with the Panarin and Trouba signings. Presuming both Namestnikov and Kreider move on this year, the ONLY* players the team has to really worry about signing next year are Georgiev, Fast, and arguably, Strome.

Based on that fact, there's an argument to be made for buying out more than one of the problem contracts; potentially all three.

*Depending on whether or not they decide to give Lemieux and DeAngelo one- or multi-year contracts.

 

[Avery16]

I have been really worried for Brooks while HF has been down. How is he going to write anything?

Just a quick question here... would you guys trade krieder, buch, and skjei for draisaitl

Oilers fans are not going to like his one bit lol.

Hmm. Three players is more than one player. HARD PASS.

Everyday and twice on Sunday.

I hope this was facetious

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Hmm. Three players is more than one player. HARD PASS.

Is it about the number of players? Because I would easily trade 3 for 1 if that 1 player is significantly better

 

[Ken Lund]

Sure but how do we convince the Oilers to do it?

 

[Carlos Ranger]

Just a quick question here... would you guys trade krieder, buch, and skjei for draisaitl

In a heartbeat. I would even add picks to the deal, as would probably be necessary to get a player like that on a pretty great contract.

 

[Vitto79]

How quickly do the Flames trade Bennett?

$7.4m in capspace with another $1m probably coming off when they demote someone. Tkachuk and Rittich as RFA's

I think the rumor was Frolik is who they want to move for space anyway

Hell yeah but honestly Rangers might have to add lol, Drai is ridiculous.
