Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXXII: Draft Day in Chicago - My Kinda Town?

[TheTakedown]

If Klein retires we have $26 M + in cap space. Be prepared...

We also have room to take on a high AAV short term contract while accruing other assets

 

[GAGLine]

Nash definitely, I see little reason to move Zucc.

We have time on Zucc. Keep him for now and re-evaluate next summer.

 

[E-Train]

The Bobfather says that they are looking at:

Pettersson
Glass
Suzuki
Andersson

Depends on who is available

Very happy with that in that order.

 

[Chaels Arms]

I think they're retooling, not rebuilding.

Trade Zucc and Nash for more first round picks then. Keep and use the 7th and the 21st.

I think the truth is nobody knows what the hell their plan is right now. This move could be just as consistent with the "win now" approach, a retool or a rebuild. Need to see how it shakes out.

 

[mas0764]

No. They need defensemen. Stop trying to trade for MacKinnon. It's not happening girl.

I don't agree that we need defensemen more than we need top line forwards.

Shattenkirk, McDonagh, Skjei and Smith is a good top 4.

We need a scoring #1 forward.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Trade Nash
Sign Shatty
Resign smith
Package for Galchenyuk
Sign Radulov (or Oshie if he can't find a deal with Washington, much prefer Oshie)

Can't remember where I read it, but someone said Radulov wants 7 million a year.

Edit: Just found it:

Radulov wants 6 mil per for 7 years. You want to pay him that until he is 37? No thanks.

 

[bl02]

Only thing that's making me happy about this is that many draft experts feel the 7th pick can be as good as the top pick. Draft is more deep than top heavy.

Edit: Just found it:

Please no. Sign Oshie

 

[Ghost of jas]

Pettersson
Glass
Suzuki
Andersson

That's a nice list.

 

[Boruto]

I don't agree that we need defensemen more than we need top line forwards.

Shattenkirk, McDonagh, Skjei and Smith is a good top 4.

We need a scoring #1 forward.

I didn't say we didn't need forwards. I said Colorado needs defensemen and we can't afford to trade Skjei+ for MacKinnon.

 

[Rick Nash 61]

Random but trading with Arizona reminded me that we didn't lose that Yandle deal as badly as we thought lol.. Duclair is not looking good at all.

 

[TheTakedown]

You're basically signing him for half a season with his injury recovery and age.

Hard pass. Might as well look at Gagner if you can't find a trade partner.

would take a flier on gagner

 

[Griffinbw]

Anyone have an update on Dadonov

 

[Chaels Arms]

We'll know by the end of tonight what the Rangers' plan is depending on whether they trade those picks away.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Where did he say this?

Because outside of Andersson at that spot, those would all be great.

I'm not sure where this guy got it from but this is where I saw it

 

[Fitzy]

Pettersson at 7, Andersson at 21. Heard lots of people say either could drop.

I'd be happy with that.

 

[Filip Chytil]

I have this odd feeling they're going to move McDonagh.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

If we get Pettersson I'll be ****ing blowing up with joy.

I have this odd feeling they're going to move McDonagh.

Sure af hope you're wrong.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Re-sign Smith
Sign Shattenkirk
Trade Holden
Klein Retires
Trade Hayes, 21st OA, 2nd round '18, Gropp for Mackinnon
Sign Thornton to 35+ contract and start him on IR
Sign Boyle

But eventually:

Kreider-Zib-Buch
Nash-Thornton-Zucc
Miller-Mackinnon-Vesey
Fast-Boyle-Grabner
Nieves

Mac-Shatty
Skjei-Smith
Staal-DeAngelo
Bereglazov
Graves
Pionk

Hank
Kinkaid

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Fire Gorton

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I have this odd feeling they're going to move McDonagh.

At this point, might as well.

Should come after this draft though. Stock up on those 2018's.

 

[hi]

The next moves should be:

Trade Nash @50% retained
Trade Zucc
Trade Grabner

Depending on how those trades work out, consider trading McDonagh.

 

[Blueblood9]

Can someone do a quick.rundown on those 4? They all centers?
Only read up on d that early

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

How is it we give up what two first round picks for an aged St. Louis and two high picks and one of our best prospects for yandle yet we get one pick back for two players?
Are we allergic to asking for picks? Wtf? Make them send a couple of seconds back as well

It's actually absurd when you break it down like that. NYR management is completely inept.
