Speculation: Roster Building Thread 2019-20: Part XXVIII

[GoAwayPanarin]

I’m really concerned what you will do with your board name once Staal leaves in 5 years (1.5 as a statue on defense and 3.5 as James Dolan’s offensive consultant for defenders)

I’ll be too busy celebrating to even care tbh

Zucker and Galchenyuk were on the TSN Trade bait list. Zucker was #11. Galchenyuk was #36.

Kreider is #1. DeAngelo is #8. Buchnevich is #12.

I actually agree with most of your posts , humor me, (not the right wording), do you want to see them trade DeAngelo and Buch? And what would your realistic return be like if they did?

 

[Fitzy]

Pittsburgh wins the trade IMO

Kind of hard to tell until we know what the 1st and Addison turn into.

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

we’re not going to have players on ELCs forever.

How many of these young kids getting paid? Kakko? Probably, I hope. Fox, probably. Maybe Chytil? Kravtsov be lucky If he gets Buch’s current deal. Most of them are getting reasonable second contracts.

You can't evaluate things based on results like that. I edited my post to add more reasoning but suffice it to say they're not gonna be paying as much as you think IMO.

Interesting that DeAngelo and Buchnevich are so high...

 

[Ghost of jas]

The path to keeping Kreider and DeAngelo involves moving Skjei, Strome and likely buying out Staal.

Not seeing the problem here.

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

Not seeing the problem here.

It’s a win-win.

Zbad alone is going to cost over 10M in 2 more years. That’s 28M tied up in 3 forwards. 6M for ADA. That’s 14M between him and Trouba. 42M in 5 players. Keep doing the math. Buch? Strome? Chytil? Kakko? Fox? Igor?

We might be able to make CK’s salary work for a few years but look down the road, it will really complicate things. And we’ll be stuck with him because he’s not signing without a NTC.

The problem is I don't expect management to move on from any of them.

 

[wafflepadsave]

I’d be happy if Pageau was traded this week.

you’re paying whoever is brought in to replace him in the top 6 at least 5 million per. Whether that’s next season or the year after that/ They can make it work with the extra 1.5/2m they’re paying him.

Then we missed on a good deal of them and we won’t be winning shit

 

[NYSPORTS]

Either there goes my Addison dreams or they just got better

when did Glen Sather start consulting for the Penguins?

They can promote from within. Kakko and Kravtsov have both played at LW quite a bit.

Or, we can target a Center and move Chytil to wing.

You’ve already convinced yourself we need Kreider and can’t go on without him, similar to what Zucc’s fan favorites were saying last season.

how much do you think Chytil is getting on his next deal? Or Lindgren?

I’ve repeatedly said he’s more than likely getting traded. I’m just pointing out that it’s not nearly as impossible to keep him as some posters here want you to believe. That’s all. You wanna trade him for a draft pick and a questionable player. That’s cool. Some people like pumpkin pie, some don’t.

Kravtsov hasn’t played a single NHL game and you got him on the second lime.

no worries, the cap should be at $175 million with Kreider playing the 3rd line and league won’t file for Chapter 11

Not sure. They have time to grow and improve. But hey, spend like an American w a ton of credit card debt all you want. That’s not how to run finances or win a Stanley FUNKING CUP

 

[EdJovanovski]

Glad Trouba sees what many posters don’t

 

[Avery16]

The TSN list is compiled by…writers, not GMs or scouts.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Man Zucker is going to be a great fit on Pittsburgh.

That’s the right move for them. They should be pushing their chips in as long as they have Sid and Malkin still on the team.

You’re not sure? But you know it’s somehow going to be a problem? Cool.

You'd think people woulda learned after penciling in Chytil for 35 points and second line status last year when he got 23 with a trampoline for a stick. Or Andersson walking into 3rd line duty and whoops he can't skate. Or Hajek looking like the good version of Jacob Trouba for 5 games last year before breaking his shoulder and this year he looks like Jason Strudwick. Or...

Spicoli speaks up.
