Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXXVII: Another Thread Bites The Dust

[Griffinbw]

Buffalo is going to overpay to get Shattenkirk.

Damn shame.

Not sure about that.
Eichel and Foligno are both due for a pay day. It'd be risky throwing 8 million at Shatty long term.
I don't think Shatty signs in Buffalo for less than 8. It'll be us or Jersey

 

[Griffinbw]

He doesn't have to go to the highest bidder though. But Buff would be a good spot for him. About 5 hour drive from home, young up and coming team, he'd be by far their best defenseman.


I'm still hoping we sign him.

McD-Shatty
Skjei-Smith

is a bonafide cup contender top 4.

Better than Risto? Maybe right now but that won't last long

 

[nevesis]

 

[Levitate]

that's a pretty big solid from Klein if he does truly retire considering he could probably manage some other way to stick out the last year of his contract on IR if he wanted.

Maybe he decided he just super wants to go play elsewhere and can't without retiring

 

[Griffinbw]

Just pay the man!

 

[rangers1314]

Brooks says NYR are in on SK but he would need to leave "millions" on the table to sign here.

Nash+ for Galchenyuk/RNH/Wennberg/Duchene would definitely get my attention

I'd hate Nash for Galchenyuk. I really don't see what people like about him, he needs to be catered to in myriad ways to be a useful player. Nash is so much more versatile. RNH/Wennberg/Duchene are different stories, though I think any of them would require a pretty big + with Nash.

Edit: I'd way rather give Thornton a little cash sweetner for a 1 year deal to play with his buddy Nash than trade Nash and another asset for Galchenyuk, or even RNH who isn't so different from the Stepan situation we just got out of.

 

[RGY]

Richards left money on the table to sign with the Rangers

 

[Fugazy]

Give us the hometown discount Shatty. You know you want to.

 

[NYR Viper]

Hartnell and Pouliot would be fantastic signings. Both add size and a little physicality to the lineup and they can provide secondary offense.

 

[RGY]

Still hoping for Shatty and Thornton and then go from there.

 

[Levitate]

Hartnell and Pouliot would be fantastic signings. Both add size and a little physicality to the lineup and they can provide secondary offense.

except they're both wingers...

the issue with Shatty has always been whether he'll take a hometown discount for the Rangers or go for the big money

 

[Thordic]

Hartnell and Pouliot would be fantastic signings. Both add size and a little physicality to the lineup and they can provide secondary offense.

Hartnell, on a 1 year contract, would be fantastic. Something like when we got Prospal on the cheap.

I'd take Pouliot as well, again for a cheap contract though, but I'd prefer Hartnell if we were signing a depth forward.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Richards gave up a bit of cash to come to NY.

Shattenkirk is going to have to give up Salary and term if he wants to play here. I can't see him turning down 7x7+ from NJ or Buffalo if hes only being offered 5x6 from NY.

A bonafide contender top-4 and we traded Stepan. Cup is ours, right? Stepan was holding us back

Could see $6.5 mill for 6 years from the Rangers but yeah that's giving up a significant amount

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

You want to give Thornton 6 mil? **** that lol

Hes on the open market my guy. It's just for 2 years. If you can get him cheaper then fantastic

Can't give Jumbo that much at this point in his career. Just can't do it.

Pouliot can play both, IIRC.

Guess we can chill with all those Staal to FLA rumors
