Speculation: Roster Building Thread LIV: Free Agency Hasn't Even Started

[Ghost of jas]

I have been hoping to see the Rangers repeat the Gaborik years. now how do they get Panarin to sign for 5 years?

And when can we trade him to Columbus for PLD?

 

[LORDE]

If things end up going the way the Rangers hope, Panarin becomes possibly the 3rd or 4th best player on this team, while being the highest paid. I don’t think that’s necessarily a good thing.

Also, if things don't go the way the NYR hope, then the rebuild fails with, or without Panarin

 

[Tawnos]

Leafs have somewhere around $9-10m to resign Marner at the moment, figuring 2 more D and one more F at $1m or under to have 13F and 7D.

And if the cap doesn’t go up?

Outside of the lockout year which came with compliance buyouts the cap has risen every single season. Why are we wondering what will happen if something that has never happened occurred?

 

[Off Sides]

And when can we trade him to Columbus for PLD?

It's all part of why I do not understand the percentage of cap idea, to me that seems basically like keeping up with the Jones.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Who was traded in the fourth of the contract.

And scored 14 goals in the playoffs in the fifth year of the contract.

 

[SA16]

these deals mean Buchnevich is 3.5 and under

I hope so but I'm not sure. Similar production but he has more of a history of it. On a two year deal I would hope for that but if they go 4-5 I would expect it to be over 4.0

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Gomez's best year, and year prior to FA, also happened to be the 05-06 offensive explosion which helped his contract.

05-06: 3.08 GPG
18-19: 3.01 GPG

Unfortunately not with the Rangers.

You had me at hello

JD cost us a cup.

Boo this man

18-19: 3.01 GPG

Lazy. He had 33 powerplay points - a number he never approached again - and a 13.5 shooting percentage - a number he was never even close to again. Gomez in 05-06 was fueled by good fortune shooting and a year when teams averaged 5.85 power play opportunities per game (2.92 this year).

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Of course. I agree the Rangers can afford him now. And possibly for the duration of the deal.
My main issue is that I still don't see him as the best player on a championship team. And that contract would put him at the top of the Rangers salary structure for seven years (I assume).
It's not to say it couldn't work. I'm just saying I wouldn't make that commitment now.
If he'd take a more reasonable deal like around 10-11%, it's a no-brainer. And frankly I think that's possible. Call me crazy.

I don't think it's crazy. You know, Gorts can say I want you and this is what I can afford. 7X10. I realize other teams can offer you more but anything over this amount would be detrimental to building a contender.

Panarin might be ok with that. That's still a lot of money. Tavares passed on like, 2M a season to play in Toronto instead of SJ. Shatty passed on more money too.

+Panarin +Kakko +Kravtsov +Trouba +Fox +Rykov

That'd be an absurd amount of talent to add in 1 offseason.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Brooklyn?

You rang?

 

[RangerBoy]

Boyle back with Torts.



Pavelski wants to play for a Cup contender. He met with Dallas and TB. He was supposed to meet with one more team.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

I'm sorry you dislike the numbers, but I was merely pointing out the similarities in Goals in 2006 versus last season. Scoring was up. And both players had their best production, regardless of how they scored.

 

[dapowl]

And if the cap doesn’t go up?

It always goes up since the implementation, maybe not each year and each year as much. Actually the only time it didn't go up was around the f'n lockout year.

Also if we talk about a 7 year deal we cannot just look at one season.

YEAR	5-6	6-7	7-8	8-9	9-10	10-11	11-12	12-13	13-14	14-15	15-16	16-17	17-18	18-19	19-20	MEAN
CAP MM	39	44	50,3	56,7	56,8	59,4	64,3	60	64,3	69	71,4	73	75	79,5	81,5
Change		5	6,3	6,4	0,1	2,6	4,9	-4,3	4,3	4,7	2,4	1,6	2	4,5	2	3,0

Also we are getting a new Team that payed a boatload of money and a new TV deal there are always peaks when a new TV deal was signed (I think 11 an 14)

I hope i could help

+Panarin +Kakko +Kravtsov +Trouba +Fox +Rykov

That'd be an absurd amount of talent to add in 1 offseason.

I'm not expecting too much from K+K, Fox or Rykov next season. But I do have high expectations for Trouba though. The kids might very well start in Hartford and that wouldn't bother me one bit.

I'd be floored if Kakko and Kravstov don't start the season in NY, especially the former.

Good chance Fox does too. Rykov is part of a numbers game but he could play his way in over Hajek too (or preferably, they both play their way in over Staal.)

@Amazing Kreiderman

Your boy from 4everblueshirts is creating quite the stir.

How so?

 

[Tawnos]

Looking at things, we know if they sign Panarin, then Kreider has to go and they would have to trade both of Vesey and Namestnikov, or just one and execute a buyout.

One signing creates 3 moves.

 

[Raspewtin]

not only is it a serious injection of talent but we also shed two black holes in Pionk and McLeod.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

How so?

Seems pretty adamant that Panarin is coming here despite everything else point to the contrary.

 

[Bob Richards]

Surely by the time Kakko and Kravstov etc need new contracts, Staal, Shattenkirk, Smith and Hank will be off the books. That's a good chunk of money.

They all come off the same year totaling like $25 million in cap
