Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Off-season Part I

Yeesh

Rangers trade Georgiev Nemeth to Oilers
Oilers trade McLeod Kassian to Rangers

Rangers get a guy who can play in the top 9 and has a bit of nastiness in him. Rangers dump Nemeth . Rangers get some depth at center in McLeod. the brother rivalary would be fun with Devils vs Rangers. Oilers get their goalie.

Why. Why. Why. Enough with Kassian. He stinks.

Edmonton isn’t trading McLeod. Not this year at least

Kassian for Nemeth Isnt that bad. He is better than Hunt McKegg Reaves

We are trying to shed Nemeth’s salary. You want to bring in a 31 year old winger who is making more money than Nemeth…we do not need that. Just because he is better than guys who should be your 13th forward, or less (McKegg), doesn’t mean its a good idea to acquire him.

Again, Nemeth has a no trade list. Bet your life Edmonton is on it.

I forgot someone was stupid enough to give him that type of NTC contract

 

[EdJovanovski]

No you wouldn’t lol

Let's set it up then, being a professional athlete doesn't make you a good fighter. I dont think Kakko has ever even been in a fight lol

Being a keyboard warrior doesn’t make you a good fighter either.

Would you believe that same person was a GM of the year finalist

 

[EdJovanovski]

Kakko would be too scared to even be a keyboard warrior, his fingers would be shaking. I'm serious I'm down for a (legal, contractually agreed upon) fight with Kakko. Any time any place

Being a pro athlete means that hes got better control of his body and understands rotational strength better than your average joe.

If you don't know how to fight, he'd kill you... and then eat you.

 

[Vitto79]

Lou was a GM of the year so yes I can believe it

Nemeth is a bad signing but we act like the extra 1.5 on the cap is crippling . He’s likely moveable let’s see what happens

 

[RangersFan1994]

Like i said scouts for the Rangers need upgrading. A lot of players are not NHL players but played on the team last year McKegg, Gauthier, Hunt, Hajek are all AHL talent. This is Hunt’s first full NHL season at age 26 for a reason. AHL player. he should have been in Hartford all year.

 

[JohnC]

Honestly, Ken Holland is so bad that I wouldn’t even be surprised if he traded Pulju for Georgiev straight up.

EdJovo is full of gluten, so no he wouldn't.

 

[EdJovanovski]

I can't wait to get in the octagon with that fat f***

 

[Boris Zubov]

When I was in college, I used to think I could beat up BJ Armstrong when he was on the Bulls at a time when I couldn't beat up many regular joes. My thinking was he was the skinniest dude in the NBA & didn't look like he'd ever been in a fight. Then I stood next to him & he was 6'3 with REALLY long arms. Even though he was super skinny, he probably would've hit me 4-5x from 3 feet away before I knew anything happened.

You & him can be the undercard before I take on fatso

Don't leave us in suspense. How did the fight go?

LOL. No thanks, my fighting skills never improved & these days my hatred of the Bulls & Jordan has been long since extinguished. Plus BJ seemed like he was a decent dude.

Anyway, my point was I realized I was well out of my depth.

Don't leave us in suspense. How did the fight go?

Well my new nickname was "gummy" & "cyclops" for about 6 months.

You know how mothers lift cars to save their children? I could potentially take out Kravtsov's only competition for 1RW in this fight, there'd be no stopping me.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Marginal? OK Rangers have to be in on this. Edmonton needs a goaltender. Georgiev should be a target.

Turn Georgiev into Puljujarvi.

Trade for PLD.

Trade for Glendening or Haula (faceoffs).

 

[Anthony5967]

Except Puljujarvi is a fast skater, doesn't get exhausted 15sec into his shifts, knows how to shoot, and doesn't have the confidence of an awkward nerd at prom

Man, with the way some are pumping him up you’d think JP was a point per game stud riding McDavid’s coattails. He was okay.

Carpenter and Haula would improve this team. Both played for Gallant.

I'm not that high on him if the price is even moderately significant, it's hard to judge what they mean by his value is "marginal" and that he won't get much. Do they mean something like Georgiev? Do they mean Lundkvist & a 2nd rd pick? I feel like Georgiev for Puljujarvi sounds too good to be true. I think they might be referring to it as a poor return in the context of it being for a former 4th overall pick
