Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXXXVIII: 3-2-1 TDL almost here!

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

At least Kreider is still productive. This place will be rough when those slumps become longer and longer in a few seasons.

Just around the time his full NMC goes away....

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Again the myth of Taylor Hall continues anon. The comments on what he got in return being incredulous that he could only get that much are mind boggling. A 2nd is exactly what he’s worth. It’s fair value.

It's really hard to give up big value for a guy who has 2 goals on the season.

then again, we gave up a 2nd (it may have been a pair of 2nds) for a guy who had 0 goals on the season when we got Clowe, though he was a great fit until he got hurt. Wouldn't be surprised if Hall finds another gear in Boston.

It’s was definitely 2 2nds haha.

If he can reinvent his game to be a 6'3" beast power forward who terrorizes defensemen physically like he did to Pelech last night, we might not have a complete meltdown!

With the emergence of the young forwards, it really is time to break them into bigger roles and allow them to play with the Vets. I’ve often criticized the PP1 Unit because it seems as though they’re putting all the best players together and praying to god they make something happen with their skill.

Kreider playing with some like Chytil might not be a bad idea. Laf’s shot at the top of the circle might make the PP1 unit more dynamic. Kakko’s ability to guard the puck and with battles along the board show he can play a bigger role. Kravstov has been playing pro hockey against men for awhile now and is showing he can play with the veteran skill players.

I know Quinn’s trying to win, but it’s still a rebuilding team, and you got some pretty damn good tools to rebuild with, who are proving they can play in this league.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I disagree with this. His past alcohol issues shouldn't be held against him when it comes to future opportunities. He's addressed them and moved forward with his career.

To be clear I don’t think his issues should be held against him getting his next job

That said the Rangers are risk averse and combined with the other factors, it’s not a good fit.

 

[NYR Viper]

Spreading out the ice time is what should happen from here on out. The issue being, they still have too many guys. It's why a 2 or 3 for 1 trade is inevitable

 

[Savant]

I know hes out, but would be very interested in bertuzzi.

Just what the Rangers need. Another left wing.

 

[haohmaru]

They’d like to move Staal, eh? L-O-L. Welcome to the party, pal.

 

[Profet]

Just what the Rangers need. Another left wing.

But we can move him to center...

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Just what the Rangers need. Another left wing.

He would be a sweet Lemiuex upgrade

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Unreal this asshole is so untradeable

 

[RangersFan1994]

Unreal this asshole is so untradeable

too bad Rangers can't sue. termination of his contract does not teach him anything. i bet he did this to sign with the Flyers. imagine if this was planned

 

[LannyMcdonald]

Lol, they want to move Staal already. What a bunch of crybabies.

That would have been part fo the game plan when they acquired him...?

Kreider is a pansy, so this will never happen.

I know, he probably texted Pelech last night to apologize for the hit

AL - MZ - PB - 30%
AP - RS - KK - 30%
CK - FC - VK - 30%
CB - KR - JG - 10%

percentage of usage.

Get CK and RS off the 1st PP and insert AL and KK

Until such time that we can move RS and or PB

The Playoffs are a pipe dream and not a realistically one at that.

Give the kids meaningful roles and let them play through mistakes.

Strome ??

Strome ??

If we could get Frederic for Strome, I'd be pretty happy.

 

[NYR Viper]

I'd take Frederic right meow

 

[RangersFan1994]

id be happy with that. Rangers cant have a soft team. we need more board play and grit.
