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

[NYRFANMANI]

We are due for a steal.

 

[Levitate]

If the Rangers are going for it, as all signs indicate - it wouldnt be smart or make sense to trade Jones.

Lindgren is already hurt- if one of Harper/Miller/Mikkola is out then you are looking at Hajek or Roberston taking their spot. Jones is the most seasoned of the 3, 2nd in line to that spot. You need retain depth.

I dont' think Jones is in the Rangers plans and they'd rather have a different kind of player to call up for the playoffs

 

[Daves a mess]

With the chance that Dallas could fall out of playoff contention or even into a wild card spot and they went to the trouble of adding a condition to the Tarasenko deal of the LOWER of the two picks, I would be shocked if they traded a first for Kane.

(Not to mention, several reports that Drury isnt dealing their other first round pick).

Yes, Drury likely didnt think he was in on Kane after the Tank deal, but adding that condition to the deal shows me they really want to keep not only one pick in the first but also the higher one.

1st in 24 might be on the table. Better not be for this year.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Why do people think a first for this year is on the table?

It’s not. Hawks writers are already preparing the fan base for a light return and one of them is straight salty about it. Read things from people in the know and ignore your own anxiety.

 

[pld459666]

If we thought the kids were bad deferring with Kreider and Mika and Bread and Tocheck, just wait until you see them with Patrick freaking Kane lol. They may never attempt to shoot the puck again.


Just for the record, the deal could be a 2nd and our 8th ranked prospect and there will be people calling it a massive overpay.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Zac Jones, Brett Berard and a conditional pick. 2nd rounder that converts to a 24 1st if we get to Conference Finals

 

[Machinehead]

I'm sure there's issues that I'm missing, and it does benefit teams with deeper pockets a lot more; but if the cap is mainly (only) about ensuring a 50/50 split of HRR, could you not set the upper and lower limits during the off-season like they do now, make everyone be under the cap for Day 1 and then allow unlimited trading throughout the season as long as you don't end up under the cap floor?

That way that total player payment is met and if teams want to load up big for a run they are going to be penalised by spending for those assets and then spending again to get rid of them before the next Day 1.

What you're describing is something of a soft cap which is why you've seen many people on here advocate for that.

They COULD feasibly do it

 

[Clark Kellogg]

There is a guy, that played here already, has playoff experience and is in the AHL right now for a team that would probably take anything for him.

It might be time to bring Michael Del Zotto back to NY.

Let him buy a ticket like everyone else.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Rangers fans be like:

"Generational winger for absolutely free or you can literally go f*** YOURSELF"

Yeah. Not getting that part. Setting themselves up for a meltdown.

Wutevs

 

[Profet]

I swear... i'm going to be like 60 years old and find out that Del Zotto signed another 2 way contract.

 

[Machinehead]

I just wish it would happen already. People being on the ledge over hypotheticals is so much worse than usual.

 

[broadwayblue]

I really hope they stop with the conditionals for reaching the ECF. Cup or bust. As if making the ECF is worthy of giving up a 1st round pick.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Why can't he play Wednesday if the deal is made then?



Exactly. I wanted another defenseman anyway.

What time Wednesday?

 

[Taluss]

Careful what you wish for. Kakko and Kakko may have to deal with a lot of emotional distress cases

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

For all we know Kane could literally already be in NY ready to go when it all goes down.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I really hope they stop with the conditionals for reaching the ECF. Cup or bust. As if making the ECF is worthy of giving up a 1st round pick.

It definitely is lol . No one’s gonna cry over losing the 30th overall pick, or at least they shouldn’t.

 

[Taluss]

Oh yes they will lol

 

[Machinehead]

That's not their field. You're looking for Schneider, Schneider, and Lindgren.

 

[Hire Sather]

What time Wednesday?

Not sure how it works in terms of what time but it's been said the Rangers can afford to recall Schneider and complete the trade.

 

[bobbop]

Carolina definitely going after Miller.

I’m not so sure. Big contract. Big money. Not Dundee’s style.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

It definitely is lol . No one’s gonna cry over losing the 30th overall pick, or at least they shouldn’t.

32nd overall pick thank you

 

[Gardner McKay]

It definitely is lol . No one’s gonna cry over losing the 30th overall pick, or at least they shouldn’t.

Are you new here? If we won the cup, two years later people would start bitching about how Drury sacrificed our future for a cup.

 

[Synergy27]

For all we know Kane could literally already be in NY ready to go when it all goes down.

It’s 2023. Someone would definitely have tracked his flight if that were the case.

All of this suspense and silliness has been worth whatever the price is. This shit is way more fun than watching games.

 

[bobbop]

This Kane deal is going to sting more than most here expect.

A gentle reminder that Kane is a first ballot Hall of Famer. Not sure anyone else recently traded can say that.

What about William Cockwood?
