Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XVIII

[bleedblue94]

I think they’re bad opinions

You cant say I haven't contribute comments and then say they are bad ones. Just move on and try to troll someone else please.

 

[Avery16]

Kinkaid sucks, he's not a realistic NHL backup for a team trying to win.

He’s also far from our biggest problem, compared with our C depth

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Oh Jesus, Tony D can serve it right in our face. Tony D and Rod Brind'Amour, f*** me. I don't like this at all.

And he'll knock a Ranger out. Calling it now.

 

[Savant]

is Tony D the replacement for Hamilton?

Yes. 100%.

They will let NJ give him 9m a year and call it money puck.

 

[bobbop]

I told you this was going to happen.

Dundon makes his money in undervalued assets.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

You really wanted to be in the bottom 5 for 5 straight years? sorry not sure if you're being facetious or not?

Ok, not necessarily five years, but 3-4 years, yeah totally fine.

Specially with the two upcoming drafts.

 

[haohmaru]

maybe Fast put it a good word for him

You know Georgiev didn’t

 

[Avery16]

Think that is actually a pretty good landing spot for DeAngelo. Can't see him wanting to sign up for the Canadian media if he had other options.

Everyone who wanted the HF chatter to cease takes the L on this one if he is staying in the division.

He blocks Joey Keane

 

[LamoTheKid]

I’m all for Carolina losing Hamilton and plugging TonyD in his place, lmao.

 

[wafflepadsave]

id put it at less then 1% the rangers offer sheet him

What’s the percentage of real rumors coming our way?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

So when we trading Georgiev to Car?

 

[Savant]

So when we trading Georgiev to Car?

Supposedly Canes want Raanta

 

[NYR94]

 

[RGY]

Damn was hoping to trade Georgiev to CAR lol

 

[Daves a mess]

Maybe he’ll feel more at home south of the mason-dixon

I know I do.

 

[bl02]

Oh Jesus, Tony D can serve it right in our face. Tony D and Rod Brind'Amour, f*** me. I don't like this at all.

And he'll knock a Ranger out. Calling it now.

He's gonna put up 40-50 points easily if he gets pp time on that team. A team we have to deal with in our division next year.

 

[Thirty One]

My favorite Tony D stat from this year is that Adam Fox passed him for the team lead in 5-on-5 goals against in late February. Fox had played 301:52. Tony had played 81:46.

He can be elite at what he does well. The scope of what he does well is limited though, and he hasn't played a good game of NHL hockey in 16 months. Haven't seen the figure, but I'm sure it's a worthwhile risk for Carolina.

 

[Fitzy]

He's gonna put up 40-50 points easily if he gets pp time on that team. A team we have to deal with in our division next year.

And he'll be tremendous on the power play and a trainwreck in his own zone.

 

[bl02]

Ok, not necessarily five years, but 3-4 years, yeah totally fine.

Specially with the two upcoming drafts.

I hear you but I just don't see how we can be that bad like bad on the same level with NJ, Anaheim, Buffalo etc and not see Kakko, Chytil, Miller, Laf totally regress or not develop

 

[jacko23]

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

That would ruin Benning's Christmas.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I’m against trading for Reaves but let’s trade for Reaves so he can beat Tony’s ass the first time he mouths off when the Rangers are playing Carolina

 

[egelband]

If you can make Mika and Danault work at $13-14MM combined, preferably with one or both getting less than max term, it's very compelling.

If you're talking more like $17MM combined with max term for both (bringing both well into their 30s), that's a lot less interesting.

Based on the deals we’re seeing, the flat cap isn’t taking much of a bite out of free agent deals. I guess the thinking is that it’ll be the lower end guys taking the flat cap hit. Danault will probably get closer to 7m and Mika closer to 9m. Not many steaks to be had among the upper tier of players. Is my sense.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

He’s also far from our biggest problem, compared with our C depth

I'm not saying he's our biggest problem considering he's the 3rd goalie on the depth chart right now but he should not be Georgiev's replacement if we move Georgie. That would be a mistake. Keeping him as 3rd goalie as depth is fine but going into the season with Kinkaid as our backup would be a problem.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

He's gonna put up 40-50 points easily if he gets pp time on that team. A team we have to deal with in our division next year.

Do not like at all. The division will be nuts.

Heh, who knows, maybe we'll be a bad hockey team in 2021 and I get my high pick.

 

[bl02]

And he'll be tremendous on the power play and a trainwreck in his own zone.

If he is paired with a decent pairing LD he will be fine on that team. The dynamic offense he can bring will offset his below average d
