Speculation: Roster Building Thread Part III: Day by Day

[Savant]

August 15th is still a little while away, NCAA Free agents that can be sign. Options are pretty good this year... Kerfoot, Butcher, few others I am missing

Would rather have Toninato than either.

Just got back from lunch. I hope we traded for Crosby while I was gone.

Holden + 2nd rounder gets it done IMO

I heard they're willing to take on Staal's contract as well.

Staal @ 50%
Holden
2nd Rounder

for

Crosby @ 50%
Kessel @ 50%

Pens might have to add, but it looks fair.

How can we give up a 2nd rounder? Our farm is barren. Crosby is almost 30 with a huge contract. I say Holden and Staal for Crosby if they retain 34.17%

We obviously flip Crosby for MacKinnon because he can have great chemistry with Kreider on LW and Zibanejad on RW

 

[Boruto]

The smelly smell smells like El Jeffe is trying to package Holden to upgrade our center depth or get rid of Staal's contract. I'm sure if he was trying to swing a deal for a 3rd rounder, it would have happened by now or at the entry draft. It's also likely that AV likes Holden too much to trade him for a 3rd rounder or less even if Jeff wants to recoup some assets.

What about Nate on LW, Zib on RW and CK playing center?

Are you vetted.

Crosby has NMC. Can't do that, can't be held hostage.

Build, build, build.

Ugh is there anyone like Crosby but 21 or younger with a small contract that we can trade for?

I mean, they're not as good as Crosby, but I'd be okay with grabbing Matthews or Eichel for Holden + 2nd.

I thought we already knew Lorb was a credentialed inmate of the insane asylum?

he turns 30 in 2 1/2 weeks so he's too old. do not want

Not as good and they aren't going to make us a cup winner.

Although. Look at the contract McDavid just got. Do we really want Eichel at such a major contract? He's already gotten one GM fired, and hasn't even made the playoffs yet! The real question is what do you want more, Holden, 2nd rounder, Jeff Gorton, or Eichel?

Not to mention he'll be 30 in 3,388 days.

Never mind. Eichel #notworthit

I've been on some stronger meds lately.

Dolan can put an offer on his house in exchange for him waiving his NMC

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Cody Franson? Is he even good enough to make Hartford?

I feel Franson is slowly reaching Ehrhoff-territory

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Perhaps some insight as to why the Rangers chose to buy out Girardi instead of Staal...?

 

[Mac n Gs]

Staal's one redeeming quality is his reach and ability to break up 1v1s. His game fell off a cliff later in the year, but he usually fared well when put with a guy who moved the puck for him (Stralman/Boyle)
