Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXXXVI: Spring into action (GMJG outta hibernation?)

[EdJovanovski]

I can’t wait to see Brett “the hit man” howden to take on the role of forechecker on the 4th line.

"the hit man" LMAO

 

[Tob]

Where are you seeing this?

no where. Just my personal feeling.

 

[Kovalev27]

I couldn’t be happier. Awful player

 

[Tob]

"Hey Rob, I got another one here that hasn't really worked out, you think you can take this one too?"

 

[Vitto79]

I actually think the Lemieux trade is to make room for Barron, not Kravtsov.

maybe eventually Barron but for now it saves some cap space and makes expansion protection clearer

Gauthier over Howden please

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

The pick is this year, which I don't think had been confirmed up until this point.

This is a great year to take middle round flyers, IMO, given how little scouts have had a chance to see the kids play.

 

[Daves a mess]

Bye Brendan. To LA for a 4th.

 

[DialUp]

Will never forget the time Lemieux reminded Domi that he f*cked his sister.

 

[Avery16]

Garbage return. This is the kind of trade that losing teams make.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Cap Friendly showing the pick as a fourth this year. Rangers now have 2 3rds (Jimmy Vescey) and 3 4ths (Lemieux, Nemestnikov) and no second (Mark Staal)

[Oscar Lindberg]

The team doing this 3 goalie BS again really is unbelievable

Tells you everything you need to know about what they think of Georgiev right now. His stock has never been lower

 

[Tob]

Can anyone help me figure out who was the last D man the Rangers signed to a 4 years or longer contract that actually finished their deal without being traded, waived, bought out, or sent down? I got as far back as 09-10 when I first started watching hockey but couldn't fine one. I thought Rozy might have been it but he was in that WW trade to the yotes.

A pick and cap space for a waste of space who can't pick a corner? That's the kind of trade smart teams make.

 

[NYR]

The NYR decide to use this kid as a regular than turn around and deal him for a 4th rounder?

That's a terrible return but this crazy front office be JG'n again lol...

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Imo this has to do more with Barron than Kravtsov; Kravtsov was gonna fit anyway.

 

[Kords]

Bummed he never lived up to his potential. Will be super bummed if that happens with the Kings.

 

[NYRangers16]

Sad to see Avery pt. 2 go

 

[Kovalev27]

yah kings got screwed

 

[Bluto]

I really want NYR to send Kakko and Laf down to Hartford for the rest of the season to get 1st line, 1st PP, and PK minutes

Unlikely, he really isn't very talented.

I’ve been thinking for a few weeks now that this needs to happen with Laf. I think it could help him in much the same way it helped Chytil last year. Kakko is playing well and I don’t think a few more minutes against lesser competition will help him one bit.

I pray to God the trend continues with Trouba

All aboard the Ryan Reaves train!

Girardi the first time. A four year 3 mil contract roughly. It was the second long extension that was the mistake.

Actually, pretty sure Staal was the exact same scenario. Edit- yeah I was right, staal lasted a long contract for under 4 mil, and we made the same mistake with him as Danny g

Avery actually had skill lmao
