Speculation: Roster Building Thread II (2022-23): The Puck is Prepared to be Mounted

[GAGLine]

Might be in play for adam henrique as well. We’ll see

Henrique has an extra year on his deal. Even at 50%, that's probably not going to work.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

The move is Blais, Hajek and a pick to Ottawa for Motte and Holden.

2 players the Rangers are familiar with and fill a need. Motte adds speed, pk and aggressive play to the 4th line. Holden is a steady, cheap, veteran LHD.

I don't know what all this talk is about Goodrow, but he won't be traded. He is objectively better than Motte, but it's not Goodrow vs Motte. It's Blais and Brod vs Motte. Motte wins that.

I said a month or so ago that id love to trade for motte and holden in some kind of package deal. And then assuming were not going after patty kane, land someone like jvr/ror.

Kreider-zib-kakko
Panarin-trocheck-jvr
Laff-chytil-vesey
Motte-goodrow-gauthier

Lindy-fox
Miller-trouba
Holden-schneider

Ahh youre right. Thought he was ufa after this season

I don’t see the Ducks moving Henrique now, unless it’s an offer Verbeek cannot refuse. He has been critical with player development for Anaheim. Plus he has another year left after this one.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Oh c'mon! I had to root for Donald Brashear, Arrron Asham and Daniel Carcilo. Adam Henrique? f*** that!

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Goodrow was acquired as a playoff team piece. He’s a winner. Why does anyone think management is looking to get rid of him now that we are a team that can actually make some noise in the playoffs?
And if they do trade him, out of necessity, I doubt it’s to a non playoff team. It will be more likely a contender would want him. IMO, of course. Thing is most contenders don’t have much cap.

And Motte frankly is not in the same category as Goodrow. He is nowhere near a replacement for what Goodrow brings. I do not understand this wild infatuation with Motte.

I agree with your first point, don’t think the Rangers will look to move him.

Second point I disagree. A young, up and coming team will want him as well as a veteran leader who has won Cup(s). Kind of like when we acquired him.

Agreed on Motte. They fill different roles. Motte is a high quality 4th line LW- Goodrow is a mix-it-up Swiss Army knife.

Let’s calm down on K Miller and 7-8 year contracts. He’s got some dynamite to his game offensively, but he’s still very average defensively. 3 yrs 4-4.5M.

I don’t see the Rangers moving Blais. They moved out Reaves for cap space. They don’t have to move Blais. They may push him down to spare forward.

They targeted Blais as a “playoff type” player and didn’t get the benefit of that last year. He’s still recovering from that injury. They will want to insert him into a tough playoff series and see if he can make some noise. Just my two cents.

 

[Avery16]

Currently out with a broken hand. Seems to get injured a lot, and isn't exactly a superstar come playoff time, probably wouldn't be at the top of my list of players to trade for.

When you block a shot with your hand, that’s always a possibility. He played 75 games last season, another 12 in the playoffs. 82 points regular season, 9 in the POs.

His entire NHL career has been in recovery.

I can understand not wanting to pay the price for him, but I agree with you on him being a good fit. Solid 5v5 numbers.

 

[MrAlmost]

If Goodrow is traded it'll be because of the upcoming cap implications. There's certainly a case to be made for moving him for the sake of signing KAM to a longer deal.

I think there is a way this team can sign its players and keep the depth as well. It's what makes Brod, Vesey and the Leschyshyn pickup important. I also think we may see the Vesey deal offered to Harpur as he has fit in well and would be a good bottom d man for the next few years. Good enough to play, but won't be a problem if a young player steps up.

On top of this, I could see the Rangers liquidating some of these RFAs into picks. Goat may be back, but I am skeptical that Krav, Jones, and Hajek make it to next season.

Kravtsov isn't going anywhere - our depth at RW is awful.

If the price is right, sure. But I wouldn't give up too much for him. I think he goes for a lot.

He demanded a trade last season. He’s a pending UFA this season. Has a full NMC. Most likely the Blues let him walk for nothing. If they decide their season is done, or if they see a cap hit out there they want to take on going forward, they may move him (to a team of his choosing) for whatever they can get.

Kakko, Vesey, Goodrow, Gauthier, Lafreniere switching wings, finally Kravtsov being part of the trade for RW? Got to remember that Kravtsov and the Rangers is a marriage of convenience. Sure, it could last beyond this year but outright denying that Kravtsov could be moved for playoff help is silly.

You're certainly entitled to that opinion.

He's arbitration eligible but will likely be pretty cheap. The Rangers need cheap options with upside next year at wing. I don't see him being moved.

So long as kratsov comes in at less than what kakko is making on his bridge. I can easily see the rangers doing a similar deal. And Kratsov looks solid in the top 6 now, just needs to get a few more shots off and get some points.

I think you proved his point that our RW depth is awful

I can see them moving him. I wouldn’t though.

Moving Jones is likely, I just hope it’s in a Lundkvist type move and not for a rental.

With the promotion of Schneider, trade of Nils, and likely moving Jones, the Rangers are awfully thin at D. I think they will invest one of their 1sts in a D. It’s pretty much Robertson and then a bunch of C+ guys.

This is the New York rangers . They will draft a left winger

I think you've got this wrong.

If anything, the reverse of this entire post is closer to being true.

The thing miller isn’t doing at a high level yet is breakout passes. A lot of his passes to the neutral zone tend to be to stationary players which stagnates the offense a bit.
When he moves the puck up himself he’s a bigger threat, but he needs to open the ice more by being better at passing a bit.

Which one of you was this?

Honestly he should just skate it out more IMO.
