Roster Building Thread - Part II: Entry Draft Edition

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Who said we are interested in Malkin? What are you all talking about??

Looking for sources? Look no further than my username, friend.

 

[Leonardo87]

Does this mean Malkin is gone?

Likely, That is a lot for an inconsistent forward who is lousy in his own end. Sure, he’ll put up numbers skating with Crosby.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Both of those numbers you just listed are the issue

Where are we gonna find a center cheaper than 5.5 outside of the bargain bin.

 

[Trxjw]

Linking your client to the Rangers is on the first page of the "negotiate a deal through Twitter" handbook.

I'm sure Drury will ask if Kadri would take a favorable deal to play here. No harm in asking. Certainly not happening though.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

First of all, read my 2nd line where I say they shouldn't give the farm to get him.

Secondly, you're on here putting Kravtsov and Blais in the same breath as Patrick Kane. But please continue to tell me how I'm the dense one.

You are the dense one....I never once said Blais or Kravtsov was as good as Kane....what are you smoking? I said we're adding Blais and Kravtsov to this team which already made it to the ecf and we dont have a center. You must mean Kane will play center, i can't believe you said that....see how this works, i can say stuff you never said too.

Woof, that feels like an overpay in cap and in term.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

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

Down.

Playing behind his comrade Shesty might light a fire under his ass.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

The league needs to do something about this Arizona loophole, such as abolishing the hard salary cap and raising the hard salary floor instead.

Make cap space a tradeable asset.

 

[DialUp]

I'd rather have Brett Howden center Panarin than have to look at Malkin's jacked up face for 82 games. Dude has a face not even a mother could love. Like a troglodyte. Derp. Lower lip drags on the ice. F that guy.

He looks like he was hatched from a dinosaur egg.

Libor Hajek is going to take the guaranteed RFA $800K 8th defenseman money while perfecting the perfect cheesesteak recipe as a healthy scratch and retire at 26 and open a food truck

Penguins driving Malkin right into the Rangers arms

 

[RGY]

If Samsonov was smart, he would take a 1 year deal with a Rangers team on the up and up, inflate his numbers and go get paid next offseason.

I think they still have space for Malkin. I think.

The Penguins are planning for the heat death of the universe to come in 2025.

Rangers aren't inflating anyones numbers. We're a horrible defensive team.

 

[Circus86]

Look again sir.

Still over cap. Or am I missing something here?

 

[RGY]

Rangers aren't inflating anyones numbers. We're a horrible defensive team.

Hmmm. Ok. Georgiev seemed to do alright getting a contract. Defense continues to grow and mature.

But sure, super horrible defensive team.

If the rangers were as bad 5v5 as everyone makes them out to be and Igor truly is the only thing that saves them last year than how would any lesser goalie benefit from coming here and being exposed to constant high danger opportunities against?

We’ve churned out goalies like no ones business. Our goalie coach is really good.

This is a dumb comment.

team defense is more than just the blue liners, and Georgiev had terrible numbers. Colorado gave him the contract because they think he's better than his numbers, pretty much the opposite of inflating. And they would know all about that, re: Grubauer

Can you blame them?

They are in the unique situation that they will give term to anybody who asks.

They know they’re just gonna tear everything down in a few years, and nothing they do today will be consequential.

Thank you! Well said.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Rory Drury?

 

[bleedblue94]

In all seriousness, at 32 years old what kind of contract is kadri getting? How long to bring the aav down how low?

 

[DialUp]

6 or 7 years. Too long.

 

[Kocur26]

Just because someone has a blue checkmark it doesn't mean they are legit. Twitter gives those things out to anyone with a pulse.

@Kocur26 Don't post crap like that again. Your final warning.

I don’t have Twitter - that was sent to me .
