Speculation: Roster Building Thread LI: Something happen, please...

[Gardner McKay]

If the Devils pick Kakko, I certainly wont be back. For a year atleast, until I can change my username again

If the Devils pick Kakko I foresee a lot of sponsorship signups in HF's future.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

You all got paid!?!?

 

[Tawnos]

The amount of HF name changes between both Devils and Rangers fans would be enough to tear a hole in the space time continuum.

There was a Star Trek TNG episode about that very thing. Eerie how well that show predicts the future.

And the conspiracy thickens.....NHL and the owners of HF colluding to get more money. Like the popups werent enough!

That is just from the last 2-3 roster building threads. There are others but they aren't active much anymore.

@flyline, Megusta too. Trying to think of all the guys that banned my previous 47 accounts.

 

[egelband]

I'm worried that with George on the way out eventually with Shesty being the crown prince, the lack of goaltending prospects will sway management into a weird 2nd/3rd round reach for a goalie on Saturday.

They've got three legit goalies already and a highly picked guy as well as their fourth. And a couple other guys who are reasonably-well-regarded. How many goalies do they need? How many nets are there?

That many eh? Good to see that you turned the corner

They aren't really active anymore. The Flyline account hasn't been active in a few years.

 

[InTheShift]

Halverson was trash. Puck handling doesn’t make up for the fact that he can’t stop a puck.

Canucks about to hire Chiapet per Lebrun

Gorton is plotting

Lol. I’ve found Jesus.

This makes me sad

At this point I don't think anything is going to happen. We will keep Kreider and draft Kakko and not get Zegras or Cozens or anyone like that. It would have happened by now.

 

[Blueblood9]

Wouldn’t surprise me.

But some of you also know the background there.

I dont would love to hear the story

Lmao.

Or it can happen at the draft once the Rangers see that the guy they are targeting is on the board. They can already have a deal in place pending the guy being there.

Also keep in mind its only 8PM western time right now. I'm sure teams will be talking for a little while still tonight

[NernieBichols]

The scoop is they should have tried him as a forward, but they never did.

That’s a really good point man.
I can’t believe gorton didn’t think of that and try it.
Or Quinn.
Good eye man

Stepan trade happened at like 1230 on the day of the draft

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Cleasson and Halverson not back. Not surprised for either as it was a matter of available spots.

No more goalie picks in round 2 please. Go boom or bust only.

 

[Edge]

So, here is the rundown.

By now we’ve discussed or I’ve given enough hints to deduce:

The Rangers have had conversations with Buffalo and Edmonton involving Buch. Those talks have also included Names and Vesey, JP and Nylander. Nothing new to report tonight. The ball is with Edmonton and Buffalo.

The Rangers have talked to Toronto. It’s not Marner or Kadri. Nylander and Kapaned were mentioned. Nothing imminent.

As has long been suggested, the Coyotes and Avs have shown an interest in and engaged in talks about Kreider. The Avs have been more aggressive today. We’ll see how/if Arizona responds.

No one still wants Shatty as of 10:30 tonight. Par for the course.

The Rangers still would love to get in range of players they like in the draft. We’ve outlined combine interviews and guys they like, even if the board isn’t head over heels for some of those names.

We’ve talked about Vesey being viewed in a similar fashion to Pionk by some teams.

Speaking of Pionk, we talked about him on a recent pod. Talked about his departure being a matter of if and not when. Talked about him having higher value than the board realized. Now we’re talking about him being one of two components in a trade for Trouba.

Speaking of Trouba, we talked about the Rangers not chasing the price into the stratosphere. They obviously did not.

So, am I missing anything short of social security numbers and home addresses?

And why would it have happened by now? Just curious.

Went back theough the thread to check the time (you’re right about it) and man, some of those posters could use the benefit on hindsight

Yeah but if you were really good you’d force these deals through by grabbing Gorts by the balls. Useless...
