Roster Building thread - Part IX - (2024 edition)

Where does Drury find one of those players?

He forgot to add “high potential” and “on the cheap” or were these implied?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

They're not.

Lindgren is playing worse and it's hurting Fox. Trouba sucks since his last year with the Jets. Miller has improved but he's being dragged by Trouba. Gustafsson is fine. Schneider was never good at defense in the NHL as of yet and has improved a lot.

Get ready to be read the apologist act lol.

People would be amazed at how much would change if Lindgren were replaced with a good player. I wouldn't be opposed (and at this point, it may even be a good idea) to flip the LDs on the other 2 pairs but even if that were to happen, Lindgren playing with Fox is still a massive issue.

I say this as someone who think his last 7 periods of play have been better. Not good, but better.

Miller-Schneider kind of slapped the brief time they were together.

It's a defensive risk but they always had the puck and we're just about at the point where penalty killing is less of a defensive risk than Trouba.

 

[NYR Viper]

Perry is an excellent bottom six player.

Would much rather have him than crap like Monahan who are non-NHL players in two zones.

THIS IS THE WAY!!!

I would prefer Perry at $1m to Kane @ $2.5m

No one @ me

 

[Raspewtin]

i'm pro signing perry just because i'm so desperate to get some of these shite "bottom 6ers" off the roster at any cost, him still being pretty good notwithstanding.

Aside from Panarin - Trocheck - Laf, this coaching staff is running the worst line/pair combinations possible and it makes me want to tear my f***ing hair out.

Gus - Fox
Miller -Schneider
Lindgren - Trouba

Would be such an improvement

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Hate to say it, but there's something to this. Why are all our defenseman playing worse than last year?

All our players are playing worse than last year except the Panarin, Trochek, Laf, and maybe Kreider

 

[JCProdigy]

Chytil

I'm today years old when I found out that Libor Chytil, Filip's brother, is a strength and conditioning coach and works with a lot of Czech hockey players including Filip. It makes more sense now why Filip is back home when the plan wasn't for an immediate return to the active play.

Icing an AHL bottom-6 as your NHL bottom-6 doesn’t help team defense either. They were a very good defensive team before Chytil and Kakko got hurt. The team defense should start improving with Kakko back soon and one of the AHL guys out of the lineup.

No relation to Libor Halak, Joe

This is what i was thinking as well.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Hanifin may resign with Cal, if he does the options for UFA LD rentals is not looking very good for the Lindgren upgrade idea.

Edmundson, Scandella

Still if we get someone with one year left at our price point, still not good:

Dumoulin, Maata

Maybe we have to get one of these guys and push Lindgren down, switch Gus

Miller Fox
Edmundson Gus
Lindgren Trouba

It’s SOFR, Libor is out

If Detroit is out of it by the deadline, Gostisbehere is available likely.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I saw him but not sure he’s what we need plus his salary at 50% takes us out the Henrique and Perry load up. We could make the cap work getting Henrique and Edmondson at 50% plus Perry for 900k. I guess that would be going for it.

I'd consider Perry and Gostisbehere going for it. Although I'm afraid of the cost of Gostisbehere

 

[Daves a mess]

Blidh called up

 

[RangersFan1994]

RANGERS RECALL FORWARD ANTON BLIDH FROM WOLF PACK | Hartford Wolf Pack

www.hartfordwolfpack.com

Yay more AHL crap over prospects. Can't wait until guys like Edstrom goes back to Sweden, Berard requests a trade with other prospects

If Detroit is out of it by the deadline, Gostisbehere is available likely.

Yay another defenseman that can't clear the crease or defend. Yea that makes sense

At this point I’m convinced you’re purposely being dense.


Edstrom is hurt and Berard needs to play actual minutes in the A.

If Mika can go tomorrow, blidh doesn’t sniff the ice. There’s also the salary cap to deal with, Blidh carries a lower hit than Berard.

They could move guys like Bonino and Brodzinski to the 4th line where they belong. Love that these AHL players are getting quality minutes. I'm sorry but a 1 or 2 game look at the NHL with 11-15 minutes of ice time each game is not going to hurt their development. Maybe a spark is what the Rangers need right now and they'd provide it over some AHL stiff that doesn't have a future in the NHL

LMAO THATS WHERE THOSE PLAYERS ARE!!

Brodzinski got some burn last night out of necessity. This is what happens when you’re down 2 top 9 centers. Please tell me how calling up Berard helps there? Or an injured Edstrom?

Bonino played less than 10 minutes. Leshitshow played less than 7. If Blidh plays he’ll be getting Leshitshow minutes. Chances are he doesn’t play at all.

And no giving a prospect a game isn’t going to kill them, but they aren’t going to get actual minutes playing with this roster right now (see: Othmann.) What’s the point of calling up a player so they can sit and collect dust on their visor aside from the 5-6 minutes they’re going to get for a game rather than some scrub who you don’t have long term hopes for? Berard is better served getting his top 6 minutes this weekend. That will go a longer way towards getting him where he needs to be than the 5 minutes he’d get tomorrow playing with dog water players.

I have no problem with Blidh being called up although I would have liked to see Belzile instead.

The problem is that, despite all the praise Drury has gotten, this team is a collection of AHL fodder in the bottom-6 after just 2 long-term injuries. Drury, in his 2.5 years as GM, has not done anything to give us proper depth, which is arguably the easiest thing to do in free agency if you know who to target.

Or you can make some smart trades. Remember when the Rangers dealt a pick for Brian Boyle when he was part of the Kings. They should target those types of trades if possible.
