Roster Building Thread IV (2022-23): Luck of the Irish

[BroadwayHustle]

Not to mention:

A.) Trocheck has been pretty damned good and brings elements that Buch simply doesn't have.
B.) Center depth, for the first time since the Hindenburg, is not an issue on this team
C.) Chytil has been pretty damned good.
D.) Buchnevich, believe it or not, has a cap hit higher than Trocheck's.

Didn't Buch start to PK at the end of his time here?

Buch supposedly was willing to sign for ~5.8m, which is still more than Trocheck and he would have never been moved to Center here, so all of this is moot anyway.

People just miss a homegrown player who actually blossomed before we traded him

 

[surlysailor]

Goodrow is obsolete with Vesey and Trocheck under contract. 3.6 mil is better spent on a top 6 RW than a bottom 6 RW/C who they dont like playing center.

But, but you can’t put a price on intangibles. No other player can bring what he does for a smaller contract

 

[Avery16]

So we should've held onto Buchnevich, who is not a center, so he could be our 2C AND you think he'd be a better center than Trocheck? Come on.

Can we ban mentions of Buchnevich on this board? Sheesh.

Trocheck might have Panarin and Kane, but Chytil is our 2C.

Go ahead and tell us what other ideas/speech you'd like to ban.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Ranger’s fluff piece:

Positive sign that Motte wasn’t wearing a no contact jersey

 

[mike14]

Go ahead and tell us what other ideas/speech you'd like to ban.

- the 94 trade deadline, including how many cups we would have won without the trades
- Mess as coach
- Avery
- Kravtsov
- comparisons between Hughes and Kakko
- mor tuffness!!!!
- Dolan's musical ability or lack thereof
- bad pizza

Who cares? You need more than two good centers

 

[Greg02]

- Dolan's musical ability or lack thereof

You are now facial recognition banned from all MSG properties.

Going to make it hard to attend your next JD and the Straight Shot concert.

Half of these are things really pushed by one poster lol

 

[I Eat Crow]

I don't think we'd have the cap space or the picks.

I just hope Zegras doesn't sign a mega contract in Anaheim and lock himself in there. Sign a medium term deal so you can hit UFA sooner please.

I would think if NYR wants to acquire him before he's a UFA the most likely scenario would be he demands a trade and some negotiation through media makes it clear the only place he'll sign long term is here to get rid of other suitors. Seems unlikely though. That or he signs a deal with trade protection and once the NTC/NMC clauses kick in he demands a trade here.

Zegras for Panarin next summer. Deal will be one for one.

The point is that Buch wouldn’t be our 2C even if we’d kept him and groomed him at C. And he likely would have beat out Trocheck.

Why are we talking about Buch? We traded him for Tarasenko

 

[n8]

Lundkvist scratched tonight. road to 55 points is gonna need a big push next season.

He won't sniff it.

 

[duhmetreE]

We'll be fine without Goodrow.

If there was no cap, sure, we'd keep him as a 4th liner. I just dont see the value at this point keeping him into next season

 

[Dijock94]

He has to go or we’re going to end up losing one of Chytil, Miller or Lafreniere

I know fighting is down but he's one of the few willing guys we have, probably find someone cheaper but they would need to, still need someone to handle that from time to time.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

No we won’t.

It’s been covered so many times in here. All three are getting bridged.

 

[Dijock94]

No we won’t.

It’s been covered so many times in here. All three are getting bridged.

Chytil has been bridged. They are also going to try and save 3-5 million to fit Kane in for another year watch.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Well yeah if they want to keep Kane then Goodrow HAS to go.

 

[Alluckks]

Well, if we just assume that Gallant will do what we don't want him to do and actually sticks with these lines, then at the least we can rationalize that good veteran players can figure out how to play with each other with enough time. Kreider-Zib and Panarin-Trocheck both have worked well with positive eye-test and fancy-stat results. Tarasenko is a very good vet, and Kane is a very good vet. Hope is not lost that they could legitimately just figure it out and get better over time. I'd rather root for that than do the world is burning and woe is me and f*** all of you here shenanigans.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Goodrow is a dime a dozen player making over 3.6M that we can get for half. The sooner he is gone the better. 1 big point in the last 15 games.

Terrible signing.

 

[Savant]

Terrible signing.

Goodrow, Gourde and Coleman were all available, and they went out of their way to get Goodrow, who has the worse of the three and played LW. Never made any sense

Terrible signing.

The Rangers need a long run this year so Drury can say “look at all this grit and leadership you should trade for.”

His contract kind of stinks too in terms of money, it’s the one Rangers contract that isn’t front loaded. He’s owed 10.1 million dollars in cash in the next two years.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Goodrow, Gourde and Coleman were all available, and they went out of their way to get Goodrow, who has the worse of the three and played LW. Never made any sense

Gourde is always injured and Coleman is more of “scoring depth.” Goodrow is a Swiss-army knife. He’s a very important player. A different player than Gourde and Coleman. I could’ve understood trying to get Gourde but he was under contract and Goodrow was not.

Not worth $3.6M, but when they got him I understood the reasoning. If they move on, it’s because they’re in a different spot in their progression and just need what he brings for below market value.

The amount of points Goodrow gets doesn’t matter. It’s not why he’s here.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

its time to promote laf. lets see what the kids got.

also ive been dying to see kreider and chytil together for an extended look.

when healthy:

Laf - Zib - Tarasenko
Panarin - Tro - Kane
Kreider - Chytil - Kakko
Motte - Goodrow - Vesey
