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

[Fitzy]

It might be a surprising concept to Americans but in other countries and cultures you can be friends with and work with people who have different political opinions than your own.

Not to be overly patriotic but there are countries with far larger political divisions than our own.

We are pretty bad right now but we aren’t in civil war territory

This is 110% true. If people would just go out and speak with each other many would realize this.

I wonder if Foligno would accept a higher dollar 2 year deal.

 

[Kocur Dill]

Nazem Kadri could be fit for glaring Rangers need

Interesting. He could have worn out his welcome in Col.

Does this clown remember the Bryan Trottier experiment ?

Woof. Who, besides that twatter guru could forget!

After 3 years of Quinn, I think an established name is what’s needed. If it’s Gallant or Boudreau, even for 2 years, you want that comfort ability factor behind the bench knowing the guy is an established Pro

 

[FIRE DRURY]

The second to last #24 ever worn by a Ranger

Would’ve been hanging from the rafters if Quinn just gave him a chance.

 

[McRanger92]

What about Ryan Murray as a LHD option?

Feel like we should aim higher

This may be nothing or it may be one of those remember where you heard it first notes.

One of my peeps told me today that the Blues are "unhappy" with Robert Thomas. He's a pending RFA and apparently (in their eyes) he really slid backwards this season. He may be available to solve some of the other Blues issues.

If true, that's a guy I would definitely be interested in hearing more about.

Aspirations, Actions, Entitled Privilege, Rage, Actual sequences of events and, sadly, the echoing voices of my innocent youth say otherwise...But OK. There are such countries that are worse off. True. I have been there and seen them. But being marginally better then a cesspool of a shithole still makes you nautiously smelly.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Not a parody. We need better depth and a better bottom d pair. We don’t need to improve much at center.

We need a center who can do the dirty things, win faceoffs, and play a full 200ft game. None of the centers you mentioned do any of that. Our skill is on the wings. I would be very disappointed if i see the same 4 centers trotted out there. Barron should be getting his time at 4th line, while strome HAS to go. He adds nothing to this team

Was in their article in the athletic today too.

Oh..trying for 3 years to trade him...LMAO...it keeps getting better . So...they basically were trying to trade him before he even arrived from the Coyotes and yet signed him to two deals in 3 years. Were you and Gorton close ?

This past season was his 4th season within the organization, they realized quickly upon trading for him that he was not a fit, he was however an asset and needed to be signed in hopes of not losing him for nothing.

I could also care less about your giggles, just figured i'd relay something that i've heard from people that are either at or above Gorton's level while he was a part of the org. No sweat off my back, youre an internet stranger and so am I, I could care less if you believe me and I'm sure you could care less that I'm telling the truth.

If they have a young family, which many do, you better believe it’s an enticement. Just like most people with young families.

I doubt NHL players view as a crucial part of a decision that Disney World is nearby.

Kravtsov for Thomas?

Makes no sense.

If we were in our cup window I would say sure, but why would we trade away a good asset for a player we will have for likely 1 season that we arent even making a cup run. Only way I consider him is if we are getting him for dirt cheap.

Look younger, much younger.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Kravtsov for Thomas?

What? No.

 

[bobbop]

Kravtsov for Thomas?

No, too rich. Perhaps a defenseman

Didn’t see that but makes sense. My friend told me on Saturday and I was too lazy to post sooner.

I do have factual info - everything that has been said by the Penguins ownership. I’m also using this thing we lawyers use called Logic. Your Crosby idea is wrong and bad. They are not even rebuilding, they fired one GM based on an ownership mandate to compete and they just finished at the top of the conference. Crosby is NEVER getting traded the the Rangers. Never ever ever. You’re wrong, move on from it.

Time will tell if he finishes as a Penguin and never traded . I can see him being traded and then coming back after this deal to finish. It's a business...stars get moved all the time . He likely has one more chance at the playoffs next season and then things start to happen . When they miss the playoffs watch the wheels fall off the wagon . Rangers moved on from the King when so many said it would never happen . Maybe you were in that camp ?

 

[RangerBlues]

One way or another
This team needs to add 3-4 centers into the system with varying skill sets.
Keep the pick and even move up if possible.
There are more than enough assets to make a trade for one.
There is plenty of money to sign one.

Rangers bought out Henrik, they didn't trade him to the Penguins. Not in any way, shape or form a similar thing to what you are suggesting. Once again, you are 1000% wrong, and are showing an inability to evaluate and also live in reality.
