Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XVIII

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Anyone have an opinion on MacDermid vs Nemeth for a bottom pairing LD? who would be better fit?

 

[Thirty One]

Wild sign Thurman Mermis.

Nemeth.

MacDermid is awful.

MacDermid is a face puncher 7th D at best. Nemeth can play

 

[Thirty One]

Well Nemeth is good and MacDermid is one of the absolute worst players in the entire league.

So....don't leave us in suspense. Who do you prefer?

 

[bleedblue94]

What was all that grit for if we still can’t protect star players?

Not afraid of retaliation at all.

What? It's not about protecting him, this isn't hypothetical, he's been hurt continuously the last few years.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Well Nemeth is good and MacDermid is one of the absolute worst players in the entire league.

 

[mas0764]

Nice term, too. Six more years of Kreider, who's four years older. Is what it is

If we had traded Kreider to Dallas we probably not only have Jason Robertson but also a top 6 center on board as we had ammo to get up and get one in the Lafreniere draft.

And we could have kept Buch.

But hey! Let's excuse the team because "how did we know we were gonna win the lottery?!?!"

(We didn't, but you don't turn down great value for 28 year olds because this is what happens. Let that be a lesson to us)

So have Eichel and Zibanejad. What are you proposing?

 

[bl02]

Nemeth.

MacDermid is awful.

Figured. I don't watch many Kings games especially with division change last year.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

I can't believe they gave up a 4th for him. Values are all over the freaking place this offseason.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

If we had done this the board would have gone down in flames.

I’ve been calling for MaDermid all week. A 4th in 2023 is worth as much as “future considerations”. Kermit is a true enforcer, you don’t have to play him every game. Only when you think you might need it .

 

[bleedblue94]

So have Eichel and Zibanejad. What are you proposing?

I'm proposing not offering sheeting Petersen.

 

[SA16]

So....don't leave us in suspense. Who do you prefer?

Well according to the chart from @LaffyTaffyNYR it looks like MacDermid (with 6 career goals) is great at finishing so let's go with him.

 

[mas0764]

Dhaliwal is their beat reporter for I think The Athletic

Oh man, if there was ever a time to do it, this is the time.

If you could give four firsts for Pettersson and be done with the issue (ie, no worry about retaliation later) would you?

I think I would.

 

[Circus86]

Wild sign Thurman Mermis.

So he’s better than Ristolainen? Seattle got hosed !

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Lol that's what Avs fans get for poo pooing the Nemeth signing. MacDermind is horribad.

 

[Thirty One]

Well according to the chart from @LaffyTaffyNYR it looks like MacDermid (with 6 career goals) is great at finishing so let's go with him.

Try him in Strome's spot on the PP?

 

[mas0764]

Rangers should consider this

I don't like offer sheets because of the culture.

Can you talk Vancouver into trading his rights though?

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Wonder if Drury calls Benning and offers up a trade and say if he doesn't agree he'll send the offer sheet. That would be gangster, so it won't happen

 

[Doctyl]

I'm proposing not offering sheeting Petersen.

So you have no contribution here to the conversation about our future 1C dilemma? Sick

 

[Fitzy]

I don't like offer sheets because of the culture.

It would cost more in assets to trade for him than to sign him.

If Nilsson didn’t break his ankle on our shitty ice sheet…..

 

[EdJovanovski]

Retaliation from Vancouver?
