Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXIV: Less than 24 hours till draft time

[Thirty One]

Something I haven’t really thought about...who’s supposed to take all of our offensive zone penalties if we move on from Strome?

Could bring Pouliot on as a coach.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Strome and ADA for Monahan

Wouldnt be good value for the Rangers. I doubt Strome and ADA go in the same trade, but for giggles. ADA, Strome and #22 for Monahan, Hanafin and #19.

 

[RGY]

Edge and BBKers have been pretty quiet since earlier in the day. I totally get it, they have lives, but I also think they live for these events on the calendar putting even more focus in. Could be they are silent right now because theres some work being put in by management. Or its nothing at all.

Either way I have enjoyed the info they have shared.

think you guys are overrating Strome and ADAs value to be honest. Monahan’s 25 and just had 82 points the year before this.

 

[Rangeri]

Why. You get a young 2c on a decent deal for two guys they clearly don’t want to keep.

They combined 112p together when Monahan had 48. That is bad value for Rangers.

BBKers is probably passed out on a park bench somewhere.

 

[Gardner McKay]

From listening to Micheletti tonight maybe he threw out a subtle hint that ADA and Strome packaged for 2c.

ADA alone should fetch a damn good 2c.

 

[wafflepadsave]

No, it would be announced. Trades that happen every year ON draft day are still announced by insiders hours before the draft. But I wouldn't get your hopes up about Eichel.

I’m not. Bettman is who I can’t stand.

 

[Roo Returns]

A lot of work goes into every trade. Probably 1 of 100 conversations ever amount to anything, so there's that.

Remember sometimes we overvalue our players a little bit here too. TDA has potential, but how is he viewed by the rest of the league?

Rangers historically usually have to pay $1 on $.50 so there is that aspect as well.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Agree to disagree. Monahan didn't have a good season and there is a reason he's on the block.

 

[Trxjw]

I'm sure there are teams that see a lot of value in ADA and others who wouldn't touch him no matter how cheap he came. Seems like the Rangers have found at least a couple of teams that are on the more positive end of that spectrum. Hopefully we get good value and can address a need or two.

The market seems to be a bit light on centers at the moment so I would expect somewhat of a premium to be paid there.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

FWIW, Edge usually checks in late at night, so maybe we'll see him post here in an hour or so

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I think they're going to go after Wennberg after hes bought out.

I don't hate it. Not that I'd expect him to be a top 6 guy, but I do think that he can revive his game here to the point where hes useful.

 

[Kupo]

I’m not. Bettman is who I can’t stand.

He has a very punchable face for sure. And he’s weird. He does this head-twitch thing which creeps me out, but I’m probably an asshole for saying that because it’s probably involuntary.

Despite my dislike for him personally, I think he’s done a quality job growing the NHL, and for that, I respect him as our commissioner.

I kind of feel dirty for saying this, but I think he really has the leagues best interest in his heart.

Wouldn't mind that one bit

He's kind of an ass, but hes grown on me ever since he embraced his heel status.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

For anyone who missed the "draft" preview, this covers the RFA stuff they talked about.

Is it me or does Micheletti not look well?

 

[Leetch3]

Our local insiders are radio silent trade incoming!

they are hitting F5 waiting for someone here or on twitter to report something

 

[Gardner McKay]

To each their own. I don't get the Bettman hate personally. He has done great things for the game.

That would be a stellar move IMO. Really hope that happens.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

No, I meant Edge and Bobbop!

I have no faith in the Rangers beat writers.

100% agree. And, at the end of the day all you need is that 1 team.

ADA has been a good NYR though. I know some ppl judge him because of this or that, but as a “problem child”, he’s been a fine player for us.

He didn’t bitch when he was benched and scratched. He’s been, by all indication, a good teammate who’s loved by his teammates. He’s made us proud by dropping the gloves against bigger opponents to redeem his peers. And most importantly, he’s produced. And not just this year. ADA’s potential and production started taking off the previous year. And he built on that quite a bit.

I’m confident GM’s are aware of these facts too. Or sucks that he’s not LH. Or that we’ve become strong at RD in the blink of an eye. He’s really grown on me and exceeded expectations.

How is he defensively and on faceoffs?

 

[Lion Hound]

He doesn’t look right. Maybe a makeup thing?

Then there’s Valiquette. Looking like a finely groomed Chewbacca!

I don't love it, but if he's cheap enough, he might not be a bad two year deal to be another guy exposed in expansion

 

[Lion Hound]

I think he totally slipped there. I’d bet there is a deal already on the table.
