Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXXV: July 1st Is Coming...

[Filthy Dangles]

10/5 lineup

Kreider-Zibanejad-Nash
Miller-Hayes-Zuccarello
Vesey-Andersson-Buchnevich
Grabner-Hrivik/Nieves-Fast

McDonagh-Smith
Skeij-DeAngelo
Staal-Kampfer/Klein/UFA/Prospect

 

[RGY]

And Staal....
Give him away. I'll take a bag of pucks and send a 2nd.

We need our 2nd.

I doubt they can move Staal although I would love it because it would open up a spot for Bereglazov/Pionk/Graves.

But if anything he is bought out next year.

10/5 lineup

Kreider-Zibanejad-Nash
Miller-Hayes-Zuccarello
Vesey-Andersson-Buchnevich
Grabner-Hrivik/Nieves-Fast

McDonagh-Smith
Skeij-DeAngelo
Staal-Kampfer/Klein/UFA/Prospect

No point to signing Smith if that is the lineup.

Smh that is ugly.

McDonagh-Smith

That's disgusting. Not bad on the blue line but that forward group... we need another center

 

[Kovalev27]

Now Shattenkirk can't skate?that is just fake news. Like absurd. Guy is a very good smooth skater. Comparing to Stepan? Stop

Alternative facts

 

[RGY]

Shattenkirk cant skate and McDonagh is just average.

 

[eco's bones]

If magically Staal is traded, and we sign both Shatty and Smith... Our defense might be the best in the league (Nashville?)

McD-Shatty
Skjei-Deangelo
Smith-Bereglazov

Sure AV would mismanage it, but no matter what there's always two solid D man on the ice.

Not just Bereglazov--DeAngelo is going to get every chance to make the team.

 

[Thirty One]

Shattenkirk is definitely an above average skater for a #5 defenseman

 

[Griffinbw]

Not just Bereglazov--DeAngelo is going to get every chance to make the team.

Bereglazov will make the team. Guarantee it. Call me in October

Deangelo is a bit more up in the air, but based on what they gave up for him I expect him to make the team. Maybe Pionk though.

 

[Tawnos]

Not just Bereglazov--DeAngelo is going to get every chance to make the team.

Right. And if they have just an awful camp, the team will put in a waiver claim in the first wave of them.

 

[Savant]

If Shattenkirk and/or Smith isn't signed they should be trying to move McDonagh for a Kadri/Trocheck/Tyler Johnson type. There is your center.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Make Typical Ranger moves and get Marleau and Thornton on Broadway? A decade too late but oh well...

They've made one move like that in 12 years.

lol we're getting both? Where is that coming from?

Wait, people are saying he's an awful skater?

When do we get back Jagr?

 

[RGY]

Make Typical Ranger moves and get Marleau and Thornton on Broadway? A decade too late but oh well...

We are certainly not getting both.

Rangers have been transitioning away from the "Typical Ranger moves" for a while now.

I just vomited at the thought of both Tyler Johnson on this team and the havoc that a McD-Hedman pairing would create for tampa

 

[Kovalev27]

That's what I just read here. Amazing.

By the way names I'm hearing rangers linked to Thornton bonino Shattenkirk Smith coming back.....

We're all in

 

[E-Train]

Then pick up Kurri, McSorley & Churla.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Shattenkirk's skating has definitely dropped off IMO. He's far from an elite skater.
