Speculation: Roster Building Thread: New Season Edition

[IDvsEGO]

but then we'll be f***ed, cap-wise. No win situation lol

If all of them go nuts, we buyout goodrow and we're fine. We have enough cap to bridge at least 1-2 and then pay full price for laf. and the cap potentially goes up next season, and again we'll have a bit more cap to work with.

I would not mind Stralman back here on a PTO. i can see Ben Harpur here on a PTO. Muscle and toughness for camp.

Ben Harpur being replaced by Fred Claesson is the biggest reason we didn't beat Ottawa in 2017. I'll pass.

nevermind Chara I truly miss Buchnevich and I'm tired of pretending we couldn't keep him

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Last thing we need is Chara slotting in on Panarin’ rw blocking the kids

Time to let it go

Kravtsov is going to recreate this moment when Gallant makes him stay out there for pulling off the between the legs deke and driving to the net instead of passing on a 3 on 1

Motte going to Ottawa

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Ottawa is gonna be competitive team this year, I'll laugh my head off if they put Toronto out.

 

[NYR2007]

1 year 1.35 for Motte

 

[Beer League Sniper]

1 year 1.35 for Motte

I can't see us being unwilling to give him that contract. Dude waited too long and everyone's cap space evaporated. Worse places to land than Ottawa, though. That team will be competitive this season.

Zero vet presence outside of broken giroux. They're not scaring me yet.

However, I think they'd f*ck Toronto up.

I don't think we were unwilling. More like incapable.

Defense is a work in progress and their goaltending is questionable, but they've undoubtably gotten a lot better this offseason.

I can see it blowing up in their faces as is the case when you have that level of roster turn over, but they've done things that have made sense. It's honestly the route I would have rather gone rather than the JG game plan of THROW MONEY AT EVERYTHING BEFORE WE EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE.

That Reaves contract is looking brutal right about now lol

 

[Circus86]

That Reaves contract is looking brutal right about now lol

Yes. But it's only 1 more year. I would argue that Goodrows contract is one of the worst ones currently. I really like Goodrow, but that contract was not really that good the moment it was signed. And seeing for what good 3-4th liners are signing now....that contract is looking like an albatross lmao.

 

[Vitto79]

That Reaves contract is looking brutal right about now lol

My thoughts exactly . One of the reasons Motte is gone

 

[IDvsEGO]

That defense looks like shit though. They might be in games, but theyre still not a playoff team.

Even Giroux isn’t much a presence. Career loser

New York Rangers — Vitali Kravtsov, RW: After it seemed like Kravtsov and the Rangers were barreling toward a divorce, he’s expected to compete for a job with the team and is likely to start the season on the roster. Kravtsov has the clear tools to be a top-six forward in the league due to his large frame and high-end offensive skills, but his consistency and pace issues have dogged him for years. If he can look like a player at camp, it will be a massive boost to the Rangers.

Who are the most interesting 2022-23 training camp prospects to follow from each NHL team?

As NHL training camps prepare to open for the 2022-23 season, it is time to highlight the most interesting prospect to follow for each NHL team. This list is not meant to simply outline every team’s top prospect, but instead identify the player whose progress will be the most fascinating to...

theathletic.com

This is a huge season for Kravtsov's NHL career. The Rangers need him so the opportunity will be there.

Trocheck replaces Strome.

The Rangers need to replace Copp, Vatrano and Motte.



Maybe Cuylle can become a factor this season.

 

[MrAlmost]

Are we going to have a Rookie Camp thread? Or updates will just be here until Training Camp?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Cullye should make this team over Carpenter and Hunt, it wont likely happen though
