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

[Vitto79]

Who? Why? No.


Also, Kravtsov should absolutely be ahead of Trouba on PP2 at this point.

Saves cap space w Blais out is the main real.
Bury Rooney

Mackey is a 6 2 D. Can’t hurt to try over Hajek

 

[TheDirtyH]

Just talking with a cousin about the team and pinned down my biggest gripe in a saying. All the forwards either play like their trying to be Panarin or Barclay goodrow. In either case it's an abomination to watch.

they should all get on the same page and walk down the royal road as one group.

 

[NYR Viper]

Anyone see that Hinostrozza was waived today?

 

[McRanger92]

Garland is a feisty fun player who is badly overpaid. $3-3.25 MM is the right number. They will at some point probably trade him with retention.

Meier really intrigues me. I love the opportunity to add a top end player in his age sweet spot. Similar to Chychrun in that regard. The price will be very high and the off-season path is either another trade out or moving a veteran contract but the short term reward is tantalizing. Would take a big set of cahones by Drury.

A big balls move would be exciting. Drury has the length of Igor’s contract (2.5 years) to win imo. Get aggressive on a potential star player like Meier or Chychrun. Let the chips fall where they may in the off-season. As long as Drury can just lock up K’Andre long term in the summer we’ll have the core to win a Cup

 

[SA16]

Garland scored 39 points in 49 games and then 52 points in 77 games. 3-3.25M for him is laughable.

But you just can't let the chips fall where they may. There needs to be a plan. Meier is going to cost a lot of assets including a 1st this year + a prospect and maybe a 1st next year, and he's going to command 8-9 mil per on a new contract. That's a lot to give up for a rental who I just don't see them signing long term. If there was a viable way they could trade Panarin or Trouba then yeah but I think that's unlikely.

Interesting. Sabre’s have a lot of depth at RW.

1RW Tuch
2RW Quinn
3RW Olofsson
4RW Okposo

Hinostroza hasent scored a goal all season.

He would add some speed. Kills penalties. Right handed shot.

Depends on the return. I’d trade a spare first and Zac Jones for Timo and at least the right of first refusal on him in the summer. Who knows what happens after the season ends. I just think it would be a worthwhile move to make at this point in the team’s trajectory.

High cap hit but I much rather him than Blais

We needs forwards who can actually score although he can replace Blais who doesn't score either.

What we "NEED" Is to keep both 1sts this year, DRAFT someone(s) who can put a puck in the net and move forward instead of cutting our own balls off in the hopes for some mythical, magic run the way we constantly did with Hank.

I hope they keep the picks as well, however…I would bet money on it that he will be adding significant rental players.

Henrik never had talent remotely close to what the Rangers have around Igor

 

[LORDE]

Henrik never had talent remotely close to what the Rangers have around Igor

Most of the guys he had weren't as talented but they also didn't vanish the way our "talented" players do (Rick Nash aside)

We need to keep the 1st's this yr

No one will change my mind on that... certainly the way this "talented" team plays isn't going to change my mind

 

[Kane One]

Yeah, but at least they all had some spirit and never gave up. When this team plays a bad game, the majority of them look like a bunch of losers.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that Drury is going to move a first, I just hope they keep one of them

'Rick Nash aside' is a pretty damn big aside when was our best goal scorer.

In the Hank window he had no room for error. Give up 2 goals and you might lose. Igor went down 2-0 in two straight elimination games and his team was able to give him the goal support to come back and win. Hell, our LEADING scorer in the 2014 run to the cup was Ryan McDonagh with just 17 points in 25 games. Zibanejad and Fox had 24 and 23 points in 20 games this past run. Kreider and Panarin had 16 points in 20 games.

Those 2012, 2014 and 2015 teams definitely had grit and determination and never say die attitudes and they almost got there, but they just didn't have the firepower at the end of the day. This team has the firepower and talent, they just need to get that effort never say die attitude and mentality more consistently.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Yeah, but at least they all had some spirit and never gave up. When this team plays a bad game, the majority of them look like a bunch of losers.

Funny thing is Kreider was on both of those teams.

Agree to disagree

Rich you seem pretty impatient with Laffy- are you going to be patient with whomever they draft?

 

[McRanger92]

This team gives up? Their whole identity is comeback wins. Led the league last year and 4th this year after a bad start. Are people really this down on a good team because the kids are developing slowly?

@duhmetreE why is your boy Labanc scratched?

Do folks really think we can develop a player that can put the puck in the net on a consistent basis any time soon?

It’s our organization’s Achilles heel.

 

[Fitzy]

I don't see who we'd go for that would cost a first in this draft. Jones or Robertson sure, but not a first rounder.

You are correct about needing a plan. It’s either move Panarin (which will be on the table if he has another shitty playoff) or trade Meier and recoup assets. You can do a lot of things in the off-season you cant do at the deadline.

Go big or go home.
