Speculation: Roster Building Thread I (2019/2020) - A Day in the Life

[redwhiteandblue]

So what exactly are the buy-out penalties year by year?

 

[SA16]

I wonder if part of the reason they chose to buyout Shattenkirk as opposed to making different moves is because of their reported interest in Brian Boyle. We know Boyle is a leader and an emotional guy and I have to think having number 22 available for him would mean a lot. I don't personally think they should be looking to sign a player like him (I'd prefer someone more like Brassard who at least if he bounces back could be a 2nd line player) but if they are interested this is just one additional perk to try and entice him.

I noticed one of the TSN guys re-tweeted LBs tweet about the buyout then deleted it and it was done quick enough I missed who did it...

I think I speak for everyone here when I say that that is a totally legitimate reason and now I am on board with the move.

I know the beat writers are saying its Shattenkirk, but I'm waiting for the press release. I don't think the team can handle the bad press and backlash after shattenkirk posted that emotional and calculated photo of his kid draped in a rangers blanket. This is supposed to be a class organization.

TSN has an article citing Brooks.

Let's not forget that by getting a player who wears the same number #22, you save on jersey costs.

Serious or sarcastic?

Come on, get serious. Boyle is 6'7".

My point was there's no reason for that TSN guy to delete his tweet, unless he knows something his employer doesn't.

Im just looking at creative ways to save money sans cap relief. Go easy on me.

 

[mas0764]

Should have been Staal.

Drops the grade of the offseason down to a B for me depending on what else they do.

A bit harsh. I think Staal and maybe even Smith was the smarter way to go, but are they even gonna really feel this pinch next year? We have enough cap space.

 

[RGY]

Neither Staal nor Smith save us enough cap space. Why is that so hard to understand? Would you rather give Kreider away than see marginal player A retained over marginal player B?

Well yes that has been the argument the past couple of weeks. Some were willing to even attach negative assets to Kreider just to move him.

That would be a stupid lazy move.

In this scenario, they open up the right side for the kids. They keep Kreider and Namestnikov, for now, to let them play up their value AND allow teams to gain cap space with each passing day during the regular season towards the trade deadline.

Is it ideal? No. Does the cap penalty suck the next 4 years, especially after this season? Yes.

But there are other teams in a way worse situation than us.

 

[RGY]

What are the chances Kreider takes a contract that doesn’t have expansion draft protection?

If signed such contract, his AAV would be going up to make that concession of not having a NMC at all

 

[Tob]

$1.25 for Brassard

 

[RGY]

$1.25 for Brassard

From who?

 

[archanfelnsx]

From who?

From Zuccarello, he forgot to pay him a few years back for that bagel.

 

[QJL]

So, assuming this is true, that leaves us with roughly 2.8M to sign ADA and Lemieux (once Beleskey and one of Nieves/McKegg are sent to Hartford) - is that correct?

Assuming all the expected kids are on the team, I think both Nieves and McKegg start in the AHL

 

[mas0764]

So then why hamstring yourself next season when you can possibly sign a 2C?

Who?

 

[QJL]

Assuming we go 13F, 7D, 2G, this roster allows us to offer DeAngelo a 2 year bridge in the 2.2m-2.4m range.

[mas0764]

With how many roster spots to fill?

Like 3-5 bottom 6 spots. Easily doable.

 

[Alluckks]

If you were him, would you take that?

If I get the money I am looking for right now and I get a full NTC/NMC the first 2 years of the deal? Yeah, maybe. Gets me paid, I'm in NY for sure for the next 2 years, and I don't have to worry about injury or regression.

7 x 7
Full NMC/NTC the first 2 years, nothing after that

Expose him at the expansion draft - meets some requirements that we wouldn't currently [as it stands] be meeting in forward and cap amount exposure
