Speculation: Roster Building Thread III (2021 Offseason) - “Simple Jack”, "Will over Skill", "Drury in a Hurry"?

[Clark Kellogg]

He was fired, not resigned.

He can go wherever he wants.

Think Doc Rivers couldn't coach the 76ers because he was with the Clippers last season?

He was relieved of his position. Still under contract an was being paid by the Rangers.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

The outrage is J.D. knows who we will be targeting with our draft picks. Columbus has not had recent success in drafting and we have.
if you are J.D. whose list will you be using come July?

I don't think anything changes that much. He'll know the Ranger list (which is likely the close or the same to some people in their room) and he'll have the CBJ list. There are differences of opinion in every draft room.

 

[Daves a mess]

i just want Dolan gone, any way possible ugh worst owner ever

John Spano disagrees.

Hate to break it to you, but JD is not worth compensation on any level.

Hes a dime a dozen front office guy that has decades of connection to this franchise.

Beyond that, minimal value.

If they didn't want him to go somewhere else with all the secret information, they shouldn't have "relieved him of his position."

There is no list in May.

Well, that is what happens when you're fired in the front office in sports.

You get paid for the contract that was signed. Fully guaranteed.

Dolan has had a half dozen head coaches and GMs on the payroll at the same time.

You don't think Adam Gase isn't getting a Jets paycheck right now?

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

There is no list in May.

Sure there is. Doesn't mean it's the final list.

 

[Daves a mess]

And if the Rangers get anyone this offseason, it would be to take Cizikas from the Island.

I dont know. Feel like this guys playing style is starting to cause him to breakdown. Always seems like every few games he's skating off the ice in pain somewhere. Plus he won't be cheap.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

So the new guy comes in to the organization and in the meeting where they are discussing their prospect list just tells everyone to shut up and use what he recalls as the Rangers finalized list?

The Blue Jackets have pro scouts who have been following these kids for years. They aren't going to change their opinion because Gordie Clarke or Nik Bobrov like player x

So the new guy in as the President. The boss who has seen the Columbus recent track record when it comes to drafting and had joined a team that had some success in drafting. The same J.D. who signed off on the trading up for Braden Schneider and then explained to the Rangers staff on why you need to draft those types of players. Fast forward to the 6 minute mark if you don’t want to wait any you have any doubts that J.D. is not in control of the team that he is President of.

Cizikas isn't getting a 5 yr deal.

I'm not going to overpay but I like the idea of weakening a rival while fixing a glaring hole at the same time.

Wouldn’t you agree that is worth 3 months more of pay just to be sure. J.D. still gets the job and if Dolan can flick off a 250k NHL fine he not worried about paying Davidson for three more .

Yup. Agree. I'd love him on this team on a 2 yr deal.

Yes, agree and that is why he couldn’t have signed with Columbus unless given permission from the Rangers.

 

[SRHRangers]

Yes, agree and that is why he couldn’t have signed with Columbus unless given permission from the Rangers.

No. He was fired and is allowed to pursue any job he wanted to.

And the Rangers would have to pay his full contract unless there was a buyout or out clause in the writing.

If he resigned and tried taking the job, then the Rangers would've gotten compensation from the Blue Jackets, or they could've blocked it.

You're reaching bud.

If they didn’t want him to go somewhere else with all the secret information, they shouldn’t have him allowed to sign with Columbus until after the draft.

I don’t believe that is correct.

 

[Off Sides]

It's going to be terrible when Columbus trades for the pick right before the Rangers and they take Sebastian Cossa at #15

 

[True Blue]

i said as of now. not what his future will be hopefully like Marian. is that batter

No. Just as much of a scorching take.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

At pick 15 and in this draft, even if they get the guy they like second best it’s not gonna make a hell of a lot of difference.

 

[True Blue]

Sure there is. Doesn't mean it's the final list.

All draft lists are made final......well before the lottery and several months before the actual draft. Duh

If they didn't want him to go somewhere else with all the secret information, they shouldn't have "relieved him of his position."

Is that like going from McDonald's to Wendy's and sharing the secret sauce information?

 

[a tribe cq]

This is what my offseason is looking like in total with signings, re-signings, buyouts etc. The only thing it does NOT include is expansion choice. Bogo isn't a necessity with Smith but was including as sort of a product of a possible Smith replacement, Nils wasnt an option and Cizikas could possibly make less.

 

[NYRKing]

The centers and RW in the top 9 are too similar. Pretty much all finesse playmakers and scorers. I like them all but this has to change and my feeling is it will this off-season.

Disagree whole-heartedly, all three are heavy on the puck and strong on the boards. Buch and Kakko get into the dirty areas on a regular basis and all three use their size to protect the puck very well.
