Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXIII - As the bell tolls, who will stay who will go?

[Blueblood9]

He would be a great stopgap for Miller. Absolutely.

would a martinez+ for ADA work?

 

[SA16]

Any interest in bringing in Jack Johnson as veteran LD depth? After getting rid of Staal we really only have Brendan Smith that fills that role and he's not exactly considered one of the team leaders nor will he necessarily even be on the team to start the year.

I don’t think that’s fair at all. Twitter is a much larger pool of anonymous users. This is a much smaller population. You can be better than that and control yourself. If you know the ITK is getting heat, don’t push buttons. Don’t tag them, don’t bring their info to the main board/trade board. Keep it in house. It’s not that hard.

If people have "insider information" that could truly jeopardize a source, it's incumbent upon them to act with discretion. If you actually have knowledge, and posting it could get someone in trouble, and you post it anyway, that's not the fault of anyone on HF for posting it on a different board or hounding you or whatever. That's your choice to put it out there. If someone is getting heat they shouldn't post, or if they do, they assume the risk.

90% of what's posted is BS, I can tell you, but that's a separate discussion.

I need Gorton to trade for a 7th rounder RIGHT NOW

 

[broadwayblue]

Why haven't they qualified Strome?

 

[Raspewtin]

Martinez is dog shit why would we do that?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Jesper Fast's rights to what team lol

 

[Irishguy42]

How about....no, to Martinez

 

[Fitzy]

I understand the logic of trying to build a team around two star centers like the Penguins have done so successfully.

But if you go that route, you're going to have to let guys like Panarin, Kreider, a lot of the high paid wingers go eventually. The hypothetical finagling to keep Zibanejad is going to lead to the departures of good players at the wing and defensive position.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

WE can do better than Martinez for cheaper with UFA's tbh.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

I feel like Fast's rights could def fetch a 6th rounder at least, he has tons of teams interested in him.

 

[EpicDing]

Martinez is inextricably linked to 2014, he can kindly f*** off. Don't want to be reminded of that every game thanks.

 

[Blueblood9]

im just trying to get my mind out of the Eichel track calm down just asking a question

 

[Gardner McKay]

would a martinez+ for ADA work?

I mean, if the + was their next 9 1sts...

Trading 24 year old defenseman for a worse, 33 year old defenseman would require massive additions.

 

[Kocur Dill]

A reminder that the head of the IOC is named....Dick Pound

There was a kid on one of my bus routes whose name is Peter Hopper.

 

[NYRangers0723]

. Agreed

Why haven't they qualified Strome?

Brooks wrote what I've seen written elsewhere, regarding Strome and the situation with him being arbitraiton-eligible:

"Those numbers would likely elevate Strome, who had a cap hit of $3.1 million last season, into the realm of the $4.75 million neighborhood.

That would likely be too rich for the Rangers, even if they do have the space under the cap to accommodate it. Remember, too, that Strome is a season away from unrestricted free agency, so we’re probably talking about No. 16 becoming a trade-deadline rental property.

And yes, the Rangers would have walk-away rights, but only if the award is above $4,538,958. That could be close to the award if the arbiter goes low. It is unlikely the Blueshirts would extend a QO without being comfortable having the power to walk away from it."

Is the plus Krebs and Glass???

Martinez is a net negative.

Thanks. But couldn't we just accept the award and then trade him for whatever we can get?

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Nothing will ever top Dick Butkis

 

[RangersFan1994]

so this means they get an extra day because they are working on a trade or a long term contract?

 

[LaffyTaffy]

IDK what we would do without our vetted posters. Having at least some tidbits of information available outside of the twitter insanity keeps us all more or less sane.

 

[Savant]

Martínez would not be the headliner if ADA is going to Vegas, but I’d take him in the deal for sure.
