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

[New York RKY]

With so much front-loaded firepower, do we even need decent goaltending anymore? @SnowblindNYR

If you ask him we never had it lol

 

[mas0764]

I'd add a Braun type of defenseman.

or let Robertson and/or Jones get another audition, especially with KAM suspended

Give Jones or Robertson time. They are the future. Let 'em get their feet wet.

 

[duhmetreE]

So is Kravtsov.

Even with that being true... you still normally get some value back. Yeah he's a flight risk but that's just really bad. Hopefully what's his name? could be a 4th line cog in a year or two. I guess then it would be worth it

Give Jones or Robertson time. They are the future. Let 'em get their feet wet.

I think Robertson will surprise. a bigger Lindgren with a touch more offense.

 

[Leonardo87]

Rangers had multiple scouts in Anaheim last night, ANA just claimed Scott Harrington from the Devils, so think one of their D may be on the move. Kulikov?

Wonder with Lindy hurt, and Miller suspended 3 games, they pull the trigger for a LHD? Could use the depth. Kulikov can play either side.

Next years is supposed to be shit IIRC.

That might be 2025 though. There are a trio of exceptional status CHL players this year who won't be eligible until 2026 though.

Gavin McKenna 2026 draft....granted exceptional status by WHL . He just broke the scoring records for the Canada Games Hockey tourney last week here on PEI......he is playing with team YUKON believe it or not and played 44 minutes again Team PEI in one game .....that is unreal . Google him. That hockey tournament has had Crosby-Kariya and others as alumni.

Honestly nothing to complain about here. Rangers literally gave up basically nothing.

They kept the 2023 #1 and ALL of their prospects.

Wouls it have been better if the condition was winning the cup? Ofcourse but I don't think that was realistic.

Gallant you have the pieces, get us a cup!

 

[leetch99]

The conditions in these deals always f*** us. We never get the conditional first our way. The condition never happens.

Seems fitting as they say.....The Devils in the details.....

 

[bl02]

We actually have the higher of the picks. So we could still end up with ours if dallas make wcf or scf and we bow out in 1-2rd

correct. I was responding in reference to if we won the cup this year and picked 32. We would get Dallas' pick

 

[Shadowtron]

Absolutely nothing to complain about. But I am neither excited nor upset by this. Feelings are somewhere around meh. Seems more of the same old same old in Rangersland. A story we’ve read again and again…with the same ending lol. Fingers crossed he’s not an OLD 34. But for the cost, I guess you take the chance 10 times outta 10, imo.

He is going to walk into the dressing room, see the collection of superstars, and take one big sniff before addressing them.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Are we done? D depth? Don't like Harpur as our 7D

$2,250,000 Cap hit. Can they even fit Kulikov?

Ducks would have to retain.

 

[Lion Hound]

If the Ducks...maybe Nathan Beaulieu? He only makes $850k

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Like how could anyone complain. The Rangers added ~100 career playoff goals and ~200 career playoff points between Tarasenko and Kane for Blais, lower of the Rangers 2 2023 firsts, conditional 2nd and 2 4ths (one which can become a 3rd). Then a 2025 3rd for the retention

 

[New York RKY]

 

[duhmetreE]

I know for now it'd be Trocheck playing with Panarin and KAne... hopefully he can start hitting on his shot. Posts start turning to nets...

but Chytil makes sense long term... let him re-sign first... He's pretty close to a 2023 Anisimov.

Kakko with Zibs, to add to their possession.
Tank with Laffy and Chytil.

It's been written

 

[ManixLiquid]

What is the projected lineup now?

 

[Leonardo87]

If the Ducks...maybe Nathan Beaulieu? He only makes $850k

Please no. Lol

 

[17futurecap]

If the Ducks...maybe Nathan Beaulieu? He only makes $850k

We don’t need another bottom 5 dman in the league, Harpur is enough.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Leafs pick up another 1st? Who is out there that is still worth a 1st? Chychrun?

I just don’t get it man. Some people just don’t want to win

 

[DanielBrassard]

Surprised it took a 3rd for the double retention.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Spicy.

Thought Sandin may be on the way out after the Leafs acquired McCabe yesterday.

 

[Lion Hound]

What will the D pairs look like tomorrow?

Do they have enough space to recall schneider or the game?
