Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LVII

[Thirty One]

@Amazing Kreiderman what are you seeing that I'm not on Gostisbehere?

 

[RGY]

Just dont see Morgan Rielly as a good defenseman. Yea he had one great offensive season while having a ton of offensive talent around him. He isnt very good on the defensive side of the puck. He is 26 years old and 2 years away from UFA status which he will be looking for another big payday. It would be a piss poor job of maximizing the value of RHD Tony DeAngelo as you plan for next year and the following years, while getting a lesser valued player, all in one trade.

Maybe not “atrocious”, a little harsh, but bad.

No way NYR can get Rielly the Leafs love him

Change the 2 to a 3 and how much of that paragraph applies to DeAngelo?

DeAngelo is not 36 years old, come on now.

 

[RGY]

Younger, RHD, more years of control. All factors that make his value exceedingly higher than Rielly. I would also argue his trajectory is much more on the rise for the coming seasons but thats just my opinion, although I think you would find many who would agree there

I haven't seen his long form birth certificate. Have you?

 

[Edge]

Speaking of Morgan Reilly, I figured the board would appreciate this little insight into the draft day process:

Always knew you were a DeAngelo Birther

So how old am I? I cut Roy Sommer as a player many years ago. Talked to him years later and he reminded me what a mistake I made. Great, fun guy.

 

[bobbop]

Wild won't resign him.

After 15 seasons, Wild not re-signing Koivu

Koivu was a great heart and soul player for many years but he was a healthy scratch for much of the season in Minnesota. He almost certainly will retire.

I'm afraid my software does not have the capacity to answer this question.

Rocky Thompson too. He's a really good coach. Dude's developed a lot of good industrious two way players.

I think the video creator meant best interview.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Two weeks to the draft, hoping for some strong Rangers roster decisions soon!

@Edge nothing new to share I would assume? All seems quiet since that wealth of info you provided on pretty much every front.

Not Edge, but I'd wait until the playoffs wrap.

The weekend leading up to the draft/free agency will be equal parts fun and annoying between legitimate rumors involving the Rangers, Legitimate rumors involving other teams, shitting on the Devils, some hack Canadian writer trying to gain clout by saying that the Rangers are shopping the 1OA, the droves of Habs fans who propose awful offers based off of what that hack writer put out there, shitting on the Devils some more, laughing at the Habs fans when a legitimate journalist shuts down those rumors, the one hilarious Bern trade proposal that has yet to be determined, a special guest appearance by @RangerBoy, A Dagoon tweet where he spells everything wrong and uses incorrect punctuation....

And our wonderful beat writers missing the boat on everything.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Nice to see Ricci still flying his freak flag

 

[Edge]

Nothing to report at this time.

We’ll see what shakes loose post-finals.

 

[egelband]

Apart from Studnicka, I think Beecher would come to mind with a lot of adds but I don't think Boston offers a lot as far as prospects. Can't see Studnicka or even Vaakanainen being moved... assuming they'll need them for cap purposes down the road.

Love it. We’re moving the best player in the deal by far but these guys are off the table because they’re cheap.

 

[egelband]

No way NYR can get Rielly the Leafs love him

Maybe we can get Bracco. If we play our cards right and catch the Leafs in a generous mood.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Toronto can keep Rielly.

Hes one of the most overrated players in the league.

 

[mas0764]

Listening to Leafs Lunch got me thinking...

TDA for Morgan Rielly. Let me preface this by saying I think TDA is underrated on here and I've always been lukewarm on Morgan compared to his rep. But I think the swap of the RD for the LD could help both teams and the extra years of cap control for Tony could be attractive to the leafs.

No
