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

[bl02]

Not too put the cart before the horse, but Kane doesn't strike me as the kind of player who would be happy playing for a small market or a non contender. I think he either signs here or goes back to Chicago.

good point. I think Chicago would easily outbid us to get him back albeit I realize that rarely happens where a player traded signs right back with his original club. In this case (especially if they win the Bedard sweepstakes) he would probably go back to chicago.

He might want to chase the Chicago all time records.

Is it happening today? I swear I read some tweet when I was half asleep last night saying that it's happening today, maybe from Avery (Spittin Chiclets)

 

[McRanger92]

I doubt that....but it might be the only option available with no cap and almost no depth . Is Othmann ready for prime time in NYC ? It is a huge jump .

He better get ready because if he wasn't too young he wouldve been in the NHL this year

JT Miller trade watch 7.0

Not sure how the Penguins have any assets to win a trade for these two.

 

[leetch99]

Tampa fans say he's the slowest skating defenseman they've seen.

Have they watched Harpur ? Bad enough Harpur is slow.....but his shot is pitiful . I was wondering if he had limited mobility in his shoulder ? Rangers will LTIR Lindgren and will grab a dman I think .....if that is possible .

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

The Canucks signing miller to that deal and then not being able to afford to resign Horvat only to then decide to trade miller a few weeks later would be a bigtime WTF

Yeah all signs are pointing it to happening after 5pm est today

 

[KOVALEV022473]

So either recall Schneider today and make the Kane deal tomorrow or Kane deal today and recall Schneider tomorrow? Did I get this right?

Maybe

Yes I really hope they do.

I guess you could say they're ... not fleet of Foote.

Penguins gutting the farm to add JTM and still lose in the first round? Then they'll be left holding the bag with that albatross contract in 2 years when Sid is looking to move on to a real contender in his twilight years? Make it happen Hextall!

I wonder if they will get more or less for Miller since he's signed to that big contract???
Would it turn off a team to have to pay Miller for 7 more years? I doubt Vancouver will retain beyond this year.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Cal Foote is terrible. Stuck out like a sore thumb every time the Rangers played Tampa and he was in the lineup.

Not even sure how much of a farm there is left in PIT, maybe Poulin or Pickering

 

[GAGLine]

People are scared to move Lindgren as if Fox isn’t one of the best defensemen in the world and could make it work with one of us as his partner lmao

I'm scared of moving Lindgren because we have absolutely no one to replace him. Anyone good enough to fill a top 4 spot is going to cost us more cap space and/or assets.

The NHL should follow the NFL's lead and permit teams to restructure contracts to get cap compliant. There's no reason we should have to trade Goodrow when we should be able to change the remaining 4 years at 3.6M to 5 years at 2.5M, for example, or something along those lines

The NHLPA would have to agree to that, and I don't know why they would.

[bl02]

Would rather let these guys (especially) Lindgren heal for a few more days/games but doubt that happens.

 

[leetch99]

Now apparently Miles Wood is going to single handily beat us in the first round.

If I sent you a 5'er....can you send me 500 back ?

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Cant believe Patrick Kane will be a Ranger.

Zibanejad should play. A bruise won't get any worse. He's probably just sore and swollen as all f*** right now.

Lindgren should sit for a bit though.

Rangers getting one of the greatest winners and players of this generation for magic beans. Unreal. I dont think it will fully sink in for a bit.

well if there is swelling I would sit him vs a philly team we should beat anyway but I'm not a doc.
Yeah shoulders are tricky. Let all that inflammation and pain go away before continuing to get checked into the boards on that shoulder.

what farm?

theyre gonna have to send 43728114537821 picks to make this happen, or somehow figure out a way to take the full cap hit.

They were all primed to trade Miller at the absolute highest his value would ever be and somehow ended up buying it themselves.

What really makes it funny is that horrendous contract doesn’t kick in until next season lol.

 

[New York RKY]

Patrick Kane finna miss the net so many times in his first game, in true rangers fashion that his new name will be Michael Del Kane.
