Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXXXIX: Going 11-3 to close out this crazy year should do it!

[Off Sides]

We could use a good shit-stirrer.

Okay, yet

Panarin, Kreider, Zbad, Strome, Trouba, Smith, are vets and other than Smith they are all signed for next year.

Buch has over 300 games played.

Howden, Chytil over two full seasons.

This is not a team that is running so many kids, Blackwell, Rooney are like 28 years old too.

 

[Leetch3]

They signed leadership and experience already though.

like who? besides kreider is there anyone on the team that has ever even watched the 2nd round of the playoffs not on tv?

Panarin, Trouba, Zbad, have made the 2nd round in their careers.

A few. Some guys to get the blood up

Not trying to be a jerk, everyone wants some of those types, yet only a very select few players can do that and also be actual good players. Then have to factor in how much they cost against the cap.

Instead of a buyout, does it make sense to trade DeAngelo to the Kraken with a draft pick, so we don't have to lose anyone? I mean I would LOVE to lose Howden, but I don't think the Rangers are as eager.

They won’t want to pay the contract. He’s gonna be bought out at seasons end, cost a couple hundred grand against cap, and they will sign somewhere for 1.5 mil or so on a 1 or 2 year deal to a team that will take the risk on him

Depends. More established guys like Goodrow, Kadri, Wilson, Anderson, Coleman, etc are all known quantities and would cost a lost of assets or cap. But the devils have a guy like wood. The rangers have had a hard on for Trent Frederic for years. He wouldn’t have costed a lot. More now. He would have been an excellent add. It’s about identifying them kind of early and giving them a shot to play and prove themselves. What rebuilding teams should be doing on their 3rd and 4th lines

I don't see Seattle starting a franchise with Deangelo in it. I think the buyout is so low ny would prefer to keep the pick.

Seattle should draft Deangelo and force him to live in CHAZ. He’d make more money off the reality show than he ever will playing hockey.

 

[huerter]

Might as well claim I heard we are gonna be going hard after Bonino because it's a no brainer just like Chara was.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

There might be more interest in DeAngelo after season ends and more teams have enough cap space for him.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I honestly think we'll continue to build from within and hope our older players continue to grow into leaders. Id like for them to try and find a young center that would eventually replace Strome or Zib depending on who gets resigned.

Only after a buyout imo

 

[bl02]

What’s happened to Barrett Hayton? I know the coyotes are not in a spot to trade their top prospects but he probably would fit well here especially considering his chemistry with Laf. Obviously question is what would it take?

Tocchet is not great with kids, he likes his vets and Hayton was not ready. Tbh I'm not sure about Hayton, I want to like him but I think it will take some time before he is ready for the show.

i got shot down by most with the TDA to Seattle

nyr management should be ok w losing Howden since Barron looks close

 

[leetch99]

I don't care about the top 9...it should be able to align itself . Buch moved and Strome moved ...the new fourth line should go like this Barron-Czikas-Brett Ritchie and another option is Barron-Howden on steriods-Geerston ? /Ritchie . Either way....we need some snarl and a prick in that 3rd line C spot . Plain and simple...we have to add 3 guys that are always willing to take a stand .

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Judging by people’s expectations, if nils stays and plays next year he may be the most hated prospect turned young player ever.

 

[The S5]

Just making a random observation. Does anyone get a bit of a Chara vibe from K'Andre? Not exact playing style, but when Chara broke in with the Isles, he was a bit lost. Made tons of awful reads, and was a bit awkward. Hoping K makes huge strides with his IQ and confidence. The potential is there, and he's in a pretty good situation. Definitely a huge cog if the Rangers want to get to be contenders.

Sure, if Goodrow can be signed cheaply as a UFA, I'd be all for that sort of signing if that contract equates to what a 4th line vet should get. Yet if he like Laughton or Lowry, that requires 3M or more on a 5 year deal, I'd be out.
