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

[NYRFANMANI]

I should've added the assumption of signing Panarin and having certainty to do so.

Also, I was referring to Olofsson the goal scoring left wing prospect, not an LD prospect.

Still just terrible and an absolute no.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Nothing has happened because these GM’s don’t know what the cap limit will be

Cause the NHL can’t get their shit together to be competent

 

[Savant]

Are they crazy/desperate enough to do Lucic+8 for Buch?

I am not touching Lucic. 8OA isn't enough to take that contract another four years

 

[Fitzy]

I think the mega-deal in place looks something like this

Kreider
Vesey
2020 1st (top 3 protected)

for

Nylander
Olofsson
7 overall

The 2020 first is a no go. No way they trade that pick.

 

[Jackpot]

William Nylander is due 8.3 mil on July 1st, no team is going to want to shell that out on a draft day trade. Probably going to move post direct deposit...

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Really think Kreider and Vesey are gone by the end of the day today

Listening to Gorton at the end of his interview you could kinda tell it’s over with Chris. Just my impression

Hope it happens before 8. Don't plan on leaving MSG immediately after the 2nd pick, but don't plan on staying the whole time either.

 

[Fitzy]

Alex Nylander has not been impressive in any way since his draft year

If he had been he wouldn't be on the block.

Buffalo is gonna trade for Vesey again?

I doubt if NY/TOR in particular were in any sort of discussion RE: W. Nylander, that real dollars would have a significant role.

Nobody wants to throw money away, but yeah these are probably the 2 franchises that care about the cash implications the least.

Different GM, different situation.

 

[mas0764]

Well, we're in crunch time now.

This is about the time the Stepan trade was announced.

 

[Thirty One]

Buffalo is gonna trade for Vesey again?

And Chicago was rumored for Hayes. What a time to be alive.

 

[emodwarf]

I did not, unfortunately. I had time to eat at the hotel, eat at Seattle Center (not my top choice), and eat at the wedding I was attending.

I did have some absolutely amazing homemade clam chowder in La Push looking out at stacks off the beach in the Pacific.

That sounds amazing. Hope the wedding was great too!

I’m not saying it’s nothing, but I doubt Dolan or MLS will be overly tethered by that prospect.

 

[Zibanejbread]

 

[Richard Banger]

Been busy all morning. Any new developments since last night?

 

[Raspewtin]

Would absolutely take a flier on Donskoi

 

[RGY]

Absolutely interested in Donskoi. Depends on what he is looking for and what our next moves might be today

 

[True Blue]

Gorton has probably been up since 4:30 training in a barn like Rocky screaming "Kakko!" instead of "Drago!"

Actually that is not what I picture.

Ever read Dune? I just see Gorton as mentat, sitting and recalculating every possible outcome and scenario.

Braveheart?

"KAKKOOOOO!"

Gorton & co. go up to the podium in full William Wallace gear (yes, with face paint).

 

[Leetch3]

Yeah I should’ve included this. The wording from insiders has been “calculated risk”. To me that indicates the Rangers expecting to be a playoff team next season.

fans and the media might say it but I don't believe for a second that the rangers 1) expect to be a playoff team next year or 2) care about being a playoff team next year. every moving being made (including the trouba trade) is about the long term plans, if kids develop faster than expected and we make the playoffs thats great but that would be a bonus not the main goal.

I agree with this right now. The moves we make between now and camp could change my outlook.

 

[romba]

Can we please sticky to the front page "Hey I've been in and out of meetings all day, please update the past 6 hours and 35 pages as briefly and concisely as possible. thnxsomuch". Get that request outta the way for everyone
