Roster Building thread - Part IX - (2024 edition)

[mas0764]

If there is smoke building around Buch to NY, I really don’t want to give up a first.

 

[NYR Viper]

Pacioretty is interesting. Make it conditional on games played. If he’s healthy, even if he isn’t scoring, he’s effective

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Go for Kaliyev or someone like that someone young that wont leave so soon.

I’m with you. After bobbop said Kaliyev had a New York connection I searched and found that when his family immigrated to the U.S. the settled in Staten Island and stayed there till Arthur turned 12.
Hopefully Drury can get Blake to give him to us on the cheap.
If he is waived LA will lose him for nothing. Put him on Zibanejad’s right.
Potential upside with limited downside.

Is there? But I would gladly give up a 1st

coming off serious injury. Can he keep up with play/Skating ability?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

If Drury moves on from Kaapo Kakko this summer I feel somewhat confident that Brett Berard can anchor the third line playing his off-wing.
Berard could have a potential ceiling of a Yanni Gourde type.

St. Louis is in position at this moment, any smoke is speculation rather than reality.

St. Louis is in position at this moment, any smoke is speculation rather than reality.

Doug Armstrong gave that interview back in December and he was pretty clear St. Louis is in rebuild mode.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Even if Buch is available, he isn't coming back here.

Goodrow is Vincent.

 

[bernmeister]

Please enough with 4th line one dimensional Kaliyev.

I wish they'd bring up Berard and plant him on the Zib line for a few games, he's playing great, he adds what that line needs.

concur x 2
if no takers on Kal and he is super cheap, fine but after this season
stay w/what we have and add youth

Jones probably goes. Can you see him in the playoffs? he Could use more ice elsewhere

For funsies are we agreeing Rempe , Belzile go down . A new C and RW come in

Jones traded . New bigger D in

No, we are not agreeing to move Rempe

Belz can def go
if somebody is earning it, let him replace Good

other choice is a D upgrade is gonna cost
maybe we can do a Yankees Chapman gets Torres
and
deal Vesey for a D upgrade, directly or indirectly

Is there? But I would gladly give up a 1st

Again, no
no more youth for rentals

is it not enuf that we enjoy how effed the Isles etc are, and you wanna be a lemming and jump off the same cliff

Is trading one player a rebuild? Because out of Buch they don't have a single player with any reasonable value that isn't signed for many more years.

 

[bobbop]

coming off serious injury. Can he keep up with play/Skating ability?

Watch for Ranger scouts at Caps games. They will know whether he still has any gas in the tank.

 

[AirGut]

I'm willing to go to war with Buchnevich, like how it always should've been, he's that type of player, what is the actual price though? Can Drury realistically pull that off?

Don’t know:

He has a full NMC.

 

[MrAlmost]

I know it wasn't great, but damn team we gotta let go of the buch trade. We have a great team and great wings coming up.

 

[AirGut]

he's still one of the best Rangers forwards I've seen come up through our system, tough to let go. Can't help but imagine how lethal the KZB line would be nowadays.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Is there anyone legit reporting the Rangers are in on Buch?

 

[AirGut]

he "thinks" Buch is likely to be traded by the deadline

 

[bleedblue94]

Chabot's been overslotted due to lack of talent his whole career and played absurd minutes but he's the same guy now he was at the end of his ELC.

Doesn't PK at all. Trouba-esque takeaway/giveaway ratio his entire career. Misses significant time every year.

They paid him $8M straight out of his ELC with no arbitration rights. Wouldn't get $8M now on the open market at 27. They're just dumb.

I wonder what he does in a different environment

 

[bleedblue94]

Doug Armstrong gave that interview back in December and he was pretty clear St. Louis is in rebuild mode.

He has also sold in the past when he felt the team wasn't going to do anything in the playoffs even if they look like they will make it.

Thanks for the insight on the scouts, hopefully Pac has something left

These are the trades should make. We dealt high picks recently. Now let’s try to make sneaky moves. McBain RFA from Coyotes is another guy Drury should target. He has an an POS type of game. Big physical 3rd and 4th line centers that can play regular shifts are valuable. Depth is always a good thing

 

[SML2]

My player I would like to see them go for is Yanni Gourde. I heard on NHL radio the Flames may move Kadri but he has too much hit and term. If you look at Gourde as a two season rental, which realistically is this teams window, it makes alot of sense. If Seattle falls toward the bottom in the next two weeks that's my guy.

2/3 of his career points are 5v5. Career CF is 56.3%. O-zone starts are a little high - 58.9%. ATOI is 12:24. I'd take a flier on him if the price is right.
