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

[Savant]

Why haven't they qualified Strome?

They want cap

 

[NYSPORTS]

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

hmm, after the draft. Big difference

 

[Irishguy42]

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

They get an extra day, but not because they're working on something. It just means that the original agreed upon date in the MOU changed and the change seemingly wasn't widely made known to writers/the public. Hence the confusion.

How is Dubnyk fetching only a 5th in 2022. What am I missing here?

 

[Savant]

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

Name them.

Looks like a 21 3rd, not sure what the 5th was about

the only thing I can think of is the 4.33m cap hit. but is that really that bad???

21 3rd is for Donato. 22 5th is for Dubnyk.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Oh Dubnyk for a 5th. Yeah thats weird.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Tyler Johnson stinks now that he doesn’t have top 10 speed in the game anymore. Huge pass.

Yeah he was straight useless in these playoffs

 

[NYR Viper]

What the hell is SJ going to do with Martin Jones...

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."

Yeah. I think the chances of them not qualifying him are basically non-existent. I think they're trying to either sign him to an extension and/or trade him before the QO, letting the other team then deal with that process. It doesn't sound like anyone considers him walking to be a realistic possibility. Who knows, though.

He sucks.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Please No to Tyler Johnson.

He is not the type of player the Rangers need to bring in

 

[NYR Viper]

 

[SA16]

Because Dubnyk was awful last year, is 34, goalies have no value, and there are a million viable UFA goalies.

 

[Savant]

What the hell is SJ going to do with Martin Jones...

Probably nothing.

I know I had seen the date of the 7th reported by a few people on Twitter. IDK how some people got the memo and some didn't.

 

[NYR Viper]

Man, teams are scrambling to create cap space. Makes what Gorton did make more sense

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Name them.

Psysk, Forbort, Hutton, Demelo.

 

[gravey9]

Probably nothing.

Teach him how to drive a Zamboni?

 

[Savant]

Psysk, Forbort, Hutton, Demelo.

None of those players are better than Martínez. Believe a lot of those guys are righty too but could be wrong. Martínez at one year 4m is kind of a bargain.

 

[Thirty One]

wtf is an ITK

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

None of those players are better than Martínez.

All of them are.
