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

[Rongomania]

Panarin needs to work on his plie'


And Kreids apparently hasn't gotten a haircut since the bubble. Haha

Buch totally goofing off already.

 

[Thirty One]

The same way it was handled with Panarin -> let him go to the Rangers

Yeah he isn't playing there beyond this season.

He looks like that kid who always sits in the back of the class with his eyes glazed over waiting for the lecture to end.

My prediction is that this lasts for approximately 2 games

 

[Irishguy42]

My prediction is that this lasts for approximately 2 games

Which will last longer: This or how long the McDonagh-Shattenkirk pairing lasted

 

[duhmetreE]

NHL players are gonna have it 'rough' for a while. IF I undertand it right... IF you play in New York, you may only see around 30% of your 'salary'. Taxes and Escrow..... oof.

Once again, if I understand it correctly, that means a player like Panarin will be walking with roughly $4M a year... oofx2

You can see why players want to go to States with no state-tax.

Shatt-McD was the first thing that came to my mind

I give it two periods.

Did PLD confirm that his trade request stands?

Seriously weird reference coming from Blue Jackets camp as (with hindsight) they blew it with these two.

 

[nyr2k2]

Don't like Barron at C but if it gets Howden out of the lineup I'm all for it.

I mean, they won their only playoff round in team history with that route

Should I actually say “big whoop” or it is implied?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Howden 1C to start the season LETS GOOOOO

It's a big deal to a fan base of a team that has barely made the playoffs at all throughout their franchise history

Not at a cost of not winning for another 5+ years. Their 1C is supposedly here for two more years during which they are far from a contention and then what? Lose him and back to square one again. Wash and repeat.

Maybe they should’ve sold out and showed commitment to build around him, and maybe now he signs long-term and break this cycle.

I would think it shifts him to 3LW as a placeholder to Kravtsov in the eventuality that Kreider or Laf shifts to RW.

 

[cheech70]

Why is this a bad idea? Its worth a shot and we know he has done it before...
