Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXXXV: Sell some now, buy some later

[Savant]

I saw this. Would be curious which of those games were given that distinction. Only last night and a Halak game or two stand out to me in this category.

 

[Savant]

Would you trade Gauthier for Sam Bennett?

I’d rather trade him for Virtanen

Bennett > Gauthier > Virtanen

contracts also considered.

Short memory on your part. I’d say there from my memory at least 6 games this season like this.

Name them please.

3 in the first 10 games. Go look it up

I mean that’s kind of my point though. I could only name two or three off the top of my hand of a statistic that the Rangers are (allegedly) leading. If people can’t name off the bat what those games are, I am wondering how arbitrary this is.

Vally has statistics from a site that officially tracks it. Matches my memory as I do remember at least three games when we were beat by a goalie, but if you’re questioning it then you should spent some effort to support it.

I support it by only remember two or three games, which I named. I’m good.

We have to sign Buch. He’s playing great.

It’s alright he’s learning. He’s a baby 19. Tremendous talent. He’ll get in better shape and come into his own.

 

[blinknyr182]

it feels like the organization is putting not getting bad press of sending these kids elsewhere to develop properly in front of just being patient, they aren't NHL players yet and I don't get how playing 7 minutes a night is helping anything I don't get the thinking here

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Would you trade Gauthier for Sam Bennett?

Calgary says no

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Our kids will be much better once we have a normal offseason, training camp and regular season.... this year has been terrible for player development

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Same argument can be made for trading him, sell high. Though i don't know where i stand on it, he may prove to be too costly to resign

11 games before the trade deadline. The part that I hate is that we have 4 games in a row vs. the Devils immediately following the deadline. We gotta hope the Flyers implode continues in the next three weeks so the picture as to whether to buy or sell makes itself clear.

There is almost zero chance this team is buying even if we do get closer to that 4th spot by the deadline.

The fact that the last six games of the season are against NYI, WAS, and BOS really sucks.

I honestly wouldn’t mind adding a lil as long as the move helps us past this year and it doesn’t cost any tier 1 assets. Maybe like a Jarnkrok or a Bennett. A reliable 3rd 4th line type

 

[bobbop]

The best chance of the Rangers making a trade is finding a 3rd defenseman or a 7th forward worthy of expansion protection at a reasonable price. Possibly a prospect and a pick. Take a close look at teams that have protection problems.

Adding someone like Jarnkrok makes sense if the cost is not a draft pick or prospect. I honestly wouldn't be opposed to trading Gauthier for a young NHL-er that can step into the line up immediately. With how this coaching staff has (mis)managed Gauthier, I can't really be too upset if they trade him away and give the kid an honest shot elsewhere.

Have to beat em if we get in anyway.

Yes I can see him flourish elsewhere in a 3rd line role getting 20-25 goals a year with his tools. Howden might be a late bloomer too. He could carve out a good career as a bottom 6 guy still but I don’t think either of these guys future lies with the rangers IMO.

 

[RGY]

A quality bottom 6 player, preferably a center, would be nice to have.

 

[rangers1314]

I woke up thinking about KK passing up on that shot all alone in front of the caps goal, and just started laughing.
