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

[Fitzy]

I'm shocked that no one has brought up the uncertain status of Dawson Leedahl and Brandon Crawley with regard to their QO.

I need an ITK to tell me about whether or not Raddysh will be qualified.

Can't make a good salad without Raddysh

This is what I'm hearing will happen:
Strome - qualified
DiGiuseppe - not qualified
Raddysh - qualified
Leedahl - not qualified
Crawley - not qualified

I mean the history of prior general managers and their group leaking to everyone is highlighted just from how often people say that gorts runs a tight ship and there's no leaks. Before it was almost like the press brief knew what was going to happen before the GM did. Now everybody's pretty much held in the dark waiting to know what's going on. If it weren't for the insider guys that we have on this board what the heck would we all know is going on? We would have absolutely no idea. That to me highlights a difference. Gorts seems very much from the school of Uncle Lou in the fact that he doesn't want things and negotiations getting out into the media and being done that way

I do believe that JG learned how to keep things tight from Slats, who was a master at keeping things tight and only leaking things when he wanted to send a certain message.

On the other hand.. Is it ever really that tight?

Oh well, maybe next off-season will be better.

Don't get your hopes up. I have very little faith that Gorton and JD will actually take the advice of this board and make the flurry of obvious trades that we have handed them on a silver plate yet they are too blind to see.

Doubt next year they will actually learn their lesson.

Pathetic leadership.

Sometimes when I refresh this thread twice in a row without a new post popping up, I just get excited that something major must have happened right now, because people are momentarily too stunned to actually post here.

I've a brother 17 years younger than me too. Gives me hope that in case I don't have children, someone will come to visit me at the nursing home in my final years.

@Thirty One will visit you.

Wake up Grots!

whenever I refresh and see that there aren't 10 new pages then I know something hasn't happened

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Is Geo an option here?

 

[NYR Viper]

Can we request one of the mods make this an automatic refreshing thread so I don’t have to keep clicking this shit...

Yeah, makes more sense.

Still relatively new to this forum

Can't wait to hear how Gorton mispronounces Lafs name, like Kappu Kakko lol

"Alex Laferrier.... oh shit." - Jeff Gorton

If he was an actual player, would it mean we just actually drafted him with our 1OA pick instead of Lafreniere?

Alex Laferrier *is* an actual player, and I would guess that once we lock a pick in, it's done.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Wake up Grots!

I’m sure he’s awake.

 

[Tob]

We have to wait for crumbs now too.

Cute that he thinks he's going to make it to old age.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Rangers are in the drivers seat throughout this anticipation a move needs to be made.

The imagine the anxiety from those who need to shed payroll is getting pretty high.

where is he projected to go? Maybe can grab him with one of our later picks if he's in that area.

Wow and he is actually draft eligible this yr. What a hilarious fail it would be. Now I am actually going to be nervous that we might accidentally draft him 1OA

I definitely understand the point but I also realize that when these guys are dropping stuff here many times they're adding the caveat that they're rumbling or that they don't feel comfortable sharing x y and z because they're not 100% sure that it's accurate. I just find that different than the days that Larry Brooks was breaking everything or other of the beat writers seem to be able to have information much more frequently than now. I guess I am kind of just a "Gorts kind of guy." Big fan and have faith he's going to do well by the organization these next couple weeks

 

[FIRE DRURY]

You must be a hit at parties.

 

[duhmetreE]

Was Ottawa offering #33 for Strome? Or 2 late 2nd rounders?

 

[Harbour Dog]

I could be wrong, but I think somewhere in the 3rd-5th range.

I'm sure Sam will be sweating out the draft until Laferrier goes somewhere else.
