Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXXII: “The Year of the Plague’s” last one...

[Rangers in 7]

Buy a #13 Laf or a #10 Panarin jersey instead. Pretty simple.

This whole conversation is going right over your head.....

Unless we find out that Messier is a terrible person and the Rangers unretire his #

It’s a f***ing number on a hockey jersey. Get over it.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

It’s a f***ing number on a hockey jersey. Get over it.

We shouldn't be surprised after seeing how fans in general responded to Ho-Sang using no 66 on the Islanders.

 

[Ola]

Is it true that camp will start 15 minutes before the first game?

Jesus take a chill pill my lord

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

If a jersey number means something to someone, it kind of feels just as pointless for all the heroes to tell the person who it means something to that they're wrong or it's silly to care

The irony here is delicious

I've been out of the loop... is PLD available?

Sounds like he wants out at the very least.

Can't imagine CBJ would want to trade him within the division though- and if they did Kakko is a more realistic ask than the Chytil+Kravtsov package people have been floating here.

Why Kakko? Why would the Rangers bid against themselves? Chytil+Kravtsov+ would surely be an extremely competitive offer against any others they would receive.

Not long before he signed, it was reported that PLD was looking at a change of scenery.

Then he signed a two-year deal, but reports are still indicating that he wishes to pursue a trade.

I figure every team in the league would have an offer, and if I’m CBJ I’m asking the moon of a divisional rival. When they traded Ryan Johansen it was iirc a one for one for a young star defenseman in Seth Jones, have to think they would ask for Kakko or Fox, a single high level piece over two solid ones.

TBs synergy is off the charts

I love how high and mighty you seem to be here. All of my comments were genuine and playful. You come in here acting like your hot shit....pathetic

The thing is though every team in the league isn’t going to make an offer and I’d be surprised if it were half. In a vacuum yes but each team has different needs, assets, management, economic factors that would factor in here.

I mean they can ask, but that doesn't mean they'll get it.

RyJo was also more established and productive at the time he was traded.

There are so many combining factors that would have me argue against this. The current economic landscape, flat cap, and the amount of teams so tight up against the cap. Also then add in the teams that have the assets to matchup and make that trade. Sure CBJ can ask for whomever they want but they arent getting Fox or Kakko. CBJ also wiped out a lot of assets/draft capital in Panarin’s last season there because they went for it. It would be more sensible to take multiple quality pieces.

This reference is actually something worth noting. There seems to be a possibility of three “disgruntled” situations developing with him, Eichel and Barzal. Trade one organizational headache for another.

Is Barzal disgruntled?

I mean I wouldn’t be surprised but I haven’t heard of him wanting out

I said potential as in if Isles unable to to sign him to a new contract.

 

[SA16]

Barzal is probably disgruntled that he’s going to make less money because he plays for a coach that believes in Stone Age hockey that supresses his numbers

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Barzal, Dubois, Eichel, Werenski all could plausibly be available in the next 1-2 years. <eye emoji> Good time to have assets and they happen to align well with NYR org needs.

(not that Barzal is realistic of course...)
