Roster Building Thread - Part II: Entry Draft Edition

[Jauffre]

Unnamed Chicago radio insider sounds promising.

A man has no name.

I'm personally most excited to see what stuff can do out there.

dont disagree, but as much as i dont want any hawks here i think kane would be an ideal rw for kreider and zib. zib would easily break 50goals next year. kane as a setup man on the right leaving zib open for one timers and his ability to transport the puck through the NZ would be a great compliment to those other two players that struggle with play making and getting throught the NZ w possesion

You want your best bet to turn into a good backup on the market, go out and sign this guy and let Benny work his magic

 

[bl02]

Wow caps gonna let go both goalies?
Never thought Vanacek was any good but thought Samsonov had some promise

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Here is a guy you take a shot on as a back up if hes open to it.

I gotta imagine some team with deeper pockets and a need for a starting goalie will take a shot at him

Moving money is hard in this league. All of these teams are having a hard time moving money.

Nemeth for Henrique at 50%? The Rangers can't trade their best asset in this trade.

While Nemeth for Henrique at 50% is wildly in our favor and I would support it all the way, that just doesn't seem realistic. Henrique is still a serviceable middle 6 center with good speed, a good head and strong in the dot. Him at 2.91 is value for any team. Moving money is hard, but Anaheim isn't the one that needs to move money, the Rangers kinda are with Nemeth. Anaheim has more then enough cap space.

Would be pretty hysterical if Kuemper signed elsewhere and the Caps are left with someone like Phoenix Copley as their starter

 

[EdJovanovski]

Here is a guy you take a shot on as a back up if hes open to it.

This makes the Georgiev trade/signing look even worse now lol

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

This makes the Georgiev trade/signing look even worse now lol

For Colorado, that is.


Would Samsonov agree to come here to be a backup to Igor? I'd love that. Let him learn under Allaire and build his value ala Talbot, Johnson, Raanta, Georgiev, etc.

 

[EdJovanovski]

For Colorado, that is

Obviously lol

 

[rangers1314]

Ilya Samsonov is very intriguing

 

[Mac n Gs]

Found our 2C option for next year: BRETT HOWDEN

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Here is a guy you take a shot on as a back up if hes open to it.

Agreed

 

[RangersFan]

Chicago tanking for Bedard, we'll help. Give us Kane and pay his salary and we'll assist you in that tank.

The chaos people are looking for in a capped out flat cap world isn't at the draft or deadline, it's the non QO and bargain bin diving on Wednesday and Thursday.

 

[rangers1314]

The Ducks didn’t Q Sonny Milano

 

[Bruner4329]

I don't want to see Othmann back in the OHL and I want Cuylle up too.

Any chance you'd ice Othmann and Cuylle on the 4th line this year?

(Is Othmann a sole LW? Or does he play both sides?)

Based on what. How do you know they are ready and more importantly what good is it sticking them on the 4th line if their play time is limited which impedes their progress.

 

[Tob]

Almost all of these non QO players aren't worth it.

 

[Raspewtin]

The Ducks didn’t Q Sonny Milano

ooooh that would be a nice add

 

[Tob]

 

[I Eat Crow]

Whoa.

Samsonov still has a lot of time to turn it around. I thought the Caps traded Vanecek because they would keep Samsonov. Head scratcher for sure.

 

[rangers1314]

Almost all of these non QO players aren't worth it.

Define “it”

 

[Crease]

Rangers qualified Kakko. Why hasn’t he signed yet?

 

[irishlaxburger2]

Rangers qualified Kakko. Why hasn’t he signed yet?

The fact he hasn't signed yet, in addition to how last season ended, has me getting all sorts of bad vibes.

I know offer sheets don't happen. But the Rangers are practically begging for it at this point. Playing with fire.
