Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXX: Viva Las Vegas!

[McD37]

I'd wager the house he could have a good career in the KHL.

There is a possibility he stays in NA for another season. Not sure if it will be in Rangers org.

 

[RGY]

Hopefully this is one of the players Vegas wants to flip right away. Rangers should be all over this one.

This is what i was thinking:

 

[Thirty One]

Those big hits and grittiness is going to win over fans' hearts. heart/60 is something you stat nerds can't compute.

I think it makes sense to have a couple fighters on their roster. They're likely going to lose a lot, and that's one thing that will pique some fan interest.

 

[SnowFort]

Is there someone in Europe that could potentially be signed as a 4C?

 

[nyr2k2]

Good for him if he does, but he's not an NHL player and he's hardly even a good AHL player

He's a very good AHL player. I don't know how anyone could dispute that.

 

[Mac n Gs]

For you, M n G - Staal & 21 OA for Miller and Tuch, would you do it?

That's a steal for the Rangers. Top prospect and a RHD ready for a top-4 role for Marc Staal

 

[NYRSchrute217]

We lose a player for nothing. Terrible day for the team and a damn shame.

We lost him for nothing. NOTHING.

That's kind of how the expansion process works.

 

[Doctyl]

I wouldnt be terribly upset giving up 21st just to get rid of Staal. Adding two good players in addition to that? Thats larceny.

I would have no issue if Hrivik got to compete for 4th line C, downside is Oscar had 10-12 goal upside while Hrivik maybe 3-4. Does Pirri now get brought back for even cheaper than last year? He was ok as 4th line C to start the season when Oscar was out.

Pirri has a good shot. The rest of his skills are below average for an nhl player.

 

[Fitzy]

Pirri? No. You want most, if not all of your 4th liners to be options on the penalty kill.

I suspect we'll see a Nathan Gerbe/Max Lapierre type signing to compete with Boo for the spot. Seems unlikely they bring in Boyle/Moore/Mitchell yet again.

 

[Boruto]

Dear god, why did you have to bring up Max Lapierre? I had blocked that out of my mind.

This! I hate this ****ing ******** and I hate this joke of a league!

Lindberg played 9 minutes on the PK last season.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Is there a projected potential franchise player in next year's draft that he's tanking like this? (if all these selections are true)

 

[Boruto]

Lindberg played 9 minutes on the PK last season.

but he seems like a PK guy enough in my mind so I'm going to stick with that.

 

[Mac n Gs]

When can Vegas start announcing if they're flipping any of their selections?

 

[Thirty One]

but he seems like a PK guy enough in my mind so I'm going to stick with that.

Haha, I feel the same way

 

[Boruto]

I'm still trying to figure out a way to trade Hayes for a no lottery protection 1st round pick of a team that is very very likely going to make the playoffs and try and win the lottery that way.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

So what about that earlier tweet saying we traded our 1st rounder

 

[Boruto]

So what about that earlier tweet saying we traded our 1st rounder

I think Silverfish was trolling us.

 

[Krams]

Well, at least trading starts back up tomorrow. Should be a lot of wheeling and dealing, if not just coming from Vegas.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

The biggest winner today is by far the fans, now we don't have to suffer through that ****** ****ing awards show. Up yours Bettman

 

[Thirty One]

So what about that earlier tweet saying we traded our 1st rounder

That was a ruse orchestrated by silverfish.

 

[Krams]

Has anyone compiled a list with all the leaked players selected so far?
