Speculation: Roster Building Thread L "Please Do Not Pester the Vetted Posters"

German potato pizza. Terrific.

Well, Bauernflammkuchen, with creme double, leaks/onions, bacon and potato .... YES SIR!

In terms of what we'd be trading or what we'd be acquiring? Or both?

Feed me some more breadcrumbs, I'm bored at work today.

All of the guys on that list are in play and part of active, ongoing negotiations. With the exception of Shattenkirk, who I haven't heard anything different than what I've reported over the last few months. If that's changed, fantastic. But I don't have anything on that front.

You can't be from NY if you even use the word Neopolitan for Pizza. Maybe for desert but not for Pizza. It's either Sicilian or Regular.

Mrs. Savant is in the restaurant industry. Talking more about the trend.

She works for a very famous chef in the area, whom is about to open a Neapolitan pizza place (albeit in North Carolina) and the quality of Neapolitan is something we argue abou . Figured now was a good chance as any to get some internet acquaintances to break a tie.

This pizza talk is much needed and so, so silly.

I'm from Long Island so I am into the real doughy, extremely cheesy and fattening pizza.

Semi-related topic - Nothing beats my grandmas pasta sauce, from Naples, it felt like she'd start making it Monday morning for Sunday eve, stirring for seven days straight. RIP.

I had to endure years of Japanese "pizza"... and as a result, in a reactionary move, the thicker the crust the better!

Pizza is much improved in Japan these days.
this place is excellent

That Canucks 10th overall pick screams us on that board. I know they have the draft, but I don't think those fans are giddy about a player they would draft there and wait. They have their youth there now and are probably in the same class as we are in the rebuild and are looking at adding pieces.

Kreider + small add for 10th overall?

Wonder what Veseys value is strictly from a draft pick standpoint? Maybe a 3rd? Could he get a 2nd?

God bless'em all. I have the fortune of being bros with a semi-italian dude. His Nona's cooking is just magical. As was my nanna's cooking, although she cooks persian food, same grandma magic.

Vesey is 7th and canucks 1st rounder is 10th. Vesey for the 10th overall!!

I'd just assume keep Shatty. He may rebound. And either way the team needs a few vets. In actually don't see a huge logjam on defence as I'm assuming Smith is now a forward (who can take shifts on D).

Pretty sure its safe to say those players in the article are all on the table tomorrow.

 

[Alluckks]

My only issue in the last thread came from spread of misinformation. Some posters committed the sin of tacking on their own speculations/hopes/hyperbole to actual slight hints from real sources. It makes it not only confusing for someone new walking into the thread and trying to decipher what is a legit rumor and what is more of the same for an offseason roster building thread, but also it just squanders the legitimate pieces of real information that we have been given. It’s like sensationalist media that takes one small ounce if truth and then runs wild with it and completely conflates the source the information even originally came from. All the Tkachuk, moving #2 pick, Draisaitl, etc.

That said, let’s get all of the following out of the way now:

Stay holding

Balls in the air

Hang on

Heating up

50/50, 60/40, 70/30

Almost

Fire AV

Unless someone wants Smith, I'm fine keeping him here and using him as a spare or extra forward. I don't see an urgent need to get rid of him or his cap hit.

My grandma made the best meatballs. She lived with my parents and I until her passing. Used to help her make them every Sunday as a kid. Unfortunately the recipe was gone with her passing. I have never had a meatball come close to hers but I was too young to remember how.

Is someone cutting onions in here?

 

[Tawnos]

Think that was just a very poorly crafted sentence.

Still loses points

Can Shatty play the off-side?

Trouba
ADA
Fox

I don't see where Shatty fits in unless Fox is completely unprepared. I think they were anticipating him playing in the NHL. But maybe you give him some time in the AHL, call him up mid-season and hopefully Shatty performs at a level decent enough to trade him during the year (assuming we can't move him now).

I don't see any reason why we would move Smith. He is the perfect spare part to have. Sure, he is absurdly overpaid, but that's not an issue this season.

Was getting pizza this week. There's a place by me on Long Island that makes a Sicilian pie with Vodka sauce and fresh Mozzarella. It makes it hard to stay on a limited carb diet. It's so damn good I could eat it every day!

Devils traded 9th overall for Schneider when the draft was at the Rock. That said, I don't know that Kreider is a good fit for them. Like us, they'd probably be looking for someone younger. Though, they did just re-sign Edler to a 2 year deal, so who knows.

But maybe you give him some time in the AHL, call him up mid-season and hopefully Shatty performs at a level decent enough to trade him during the year (assuming we can't move him now).

I definitely don't want to activate the condition on the deal. So Fox has to start in the AHL and can get called up for the end of the season, where he won't get to 30 games played. Anyhow, I don't expect Fox to make the team immediately. His skating is a question mark to me.

 

[Leonardo87]

The pizza talk carried over to this thread?

Exciting day thus far!

Someone say Pizza!?

 

[Lion Hound]

I'm finding it hard to believe the Canucks will deal the pick. The draft is in their own building. Would think are going to bring a guy up to that podium tomorrow.


Edmonton, Colorado, Buffalo, Florida would be my top 4 choices to make a trade tomorrow.

In a similar boat. Everyone says North Carolina is known for its BBQ, but in my opinion South Carolina BBQ blows it away. I will say the quality of the bakeries here is outstanding. North Carolina has the best breads of anywhere else I have ever lived and it is not particularly close. A place opened a couple of months ago that even makes bagels that stand up to NY/NJ, which was a shock to me. Different eating experience but a bagel that stands out. I just try to eat my carbs early so my body has time to get rid of them. That's how it works...right?
