Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LX

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Well said?

 

[Leetch3]

I would expose Lindgren over Ekholm honestly.

I think both for the trade and expansion draft protection I'd need to be able to extend him...you can find 1-2 year stop gaps as UFAs. Are you extending him at 31? and at what cost? At 31 you could extend him 4 years without a huge risk...but I'd hate to lose lindgren and then a year later lose him as a ufa.

The Ducks at #6 are wiling to move their pick. Their scouting director Martin Madden said the Ducks aren’t married to the pick. The Ducks believe there is a top tier 1-3. The players 4-12 have the same value. The Ducks believe it’s a really deep draft until the mid 20’s. He spoke with Eric Stephens of The Athletic. Long time Ducks beat writer.

The Ducks are looking for a player to help their current team or pick up another pick by moving down.

Tony DeAngelo is a fit for them. They need an offensive D. Right-handed shot. They offered Kevin Shattenkirk a multi-year deal last summer. Their need is still there.

The Rangers pick up #6 and select Marco Rossi who is compared to Nicklas Backstrom. He should be there at #6. The Rangers get their center. Rossi isn’t far away from playing in the NHL.

DeAngelo and #22 for #6 and the Bruins #1 pick if they don’t want to swap #6 for Tony.

Please don't put this on the main boards lol. Gonna have another 15 pages of thread Anaheim fans stating how bad ADA is.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I would absolute trade Tony for #6 overall

I also have a hard time believing Gorton would do the same. H. Lindholm would be the obvious target in any trade with Anaheim imo

 

[bbny]

And the 5th pick isn't enough of a consolation prize for you guys to take the other one? Again, just crazy value there.

Yup. The truth is it doesn't matter enough to me to say no. I'd say yes in either case since it qualifies in my book as an overwhelming offer. I was just being dramatic in my preference for Stutzle over Byfield.

i think the Ducks need to commit to a rebuild

 

[JimmyG89]

Just draft Lafreniere. The hope would eventually for him to be the first line left wing while Panarin is falling off his elite play to all star level and Kreider fills in the 3rd line slot or moves over to RW (he's done it some in his career).

We'll find a center that we can draft or acquire for 2nd line minutes. Either Chytil steps up or they'll get one via trade. Losing out on Lafreniere, even for someone like Byfield or Stuztle and another top 5 pick is not worth it for this team. We already have one of the top and deepest systems. Take the elite level talent and identify a center at 22 or via trade to invest into.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

I wasn't making an analogy. One of your reasons for preferring Byfield is you don't think Stuzle is a center. I am just saying that even if that were the case, we still didn't get a center.

I understand your point about thinking Byfield is the better prospect. Not arguing that either way, seems like there is a lot of mixed opinions on that one.

Right, and if we’re not getting a center it’s ok because LAF IS BETTER THAN BOTH. Hence, not comparable.

 

[NYSPORTS]

He has always been considered a significantly better prospect than Hughes, Kakko, Hischier.

Laf even looks a bit like Stamkos b/c that white jersey. Highlights, reading up, his height, his weight etc seems much better than others.

Very good potential yet wasn’t sure about Hischier, i did not like the Hughes (looks like a very young high school kid) option b/c he’s of his size and said he had “to work on his shot” while Raty is already jumping around some boards for the 21 draft.

Laf appears to be the no brainer.

 

[Maximus]

A deal of DeAngelo, Chytil, Kravstov and the Carolina pick should be enough. But I doubt that there is a deal to be made. At least not right now. And frankly, not sure if it is the right at this point for this Rangers team.

You may be right as I said was just spit balling because the thought of Eichel on this team is simply very tantelizing.

Do you think Buffalo would take Robertson instead of Kravstov and keep the rest of your proposal the same? I really don't want to deal Kravstov at all as I could easily see him blowing up somewhere else. I'd rather it be here. Giving up Chytil is tough enough but you got to give something to get something is the old adage.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Id love @Edge take on this but i feel like if a Deangelo + 22 for 6 deal were to take place our choice there would probably be Holtz

 

[Fireonk]

Right, and if we’re not getting a center it’s ok because LAF IS BETTER THAN BOTH. Hence, not comparable.

Just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. If you are getting an offer where the 3rd best asset is the #5 pick I think you have to take that and run.

I saw the rumor that they were willing to trade down that came out of 31 Thoughts. Where's the rumor that they're willing to trade it outright?

They're supposedly interested in Laine as well. I don't think the Ducks are hunkering down for a multi-year rebuild even though their fans seem to think they are. They're not going to waste the prime years of Gibson, Lindholm, etc, just to trade everything that isn't bolted down for draft picks.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I can't see it happening. Although Tony is definitely something Anaheim lacks (a player with any kind of offensive talent), I don't feel like Tony has that kind of value, and the drop from 6 to 22 is huge. I don't see why Anaheim wouldn't just draft Rossi or Drysdale or whomever.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

TBH knowing what we know I have a hard time seeing Rangers taking Rossi if one of Sanderson or Raymond are there. I also would not be surprised to see them go Lundell in that spot, which would be a total “This is our guy” Rangers move for better or worse. Hell if you’re trading away Tony take Drysdale in that spot. Worst comes to worst Nils or Drysdale one gets traded for a guy like Eichel down the line.

Yeah, if the Rangers are picking 6th, I would be willing to bet that if Sanderson is there, he’d be the selection.

And that’s a pick I’d be doing backflips over.

 

[Raspewtin]

if you can get 6 for Tony and 22 me and @Machinehead would drive Tony to SoCal ourselves.

So long as I get to tape his mouth shut.

 

[bleedblue94]

Who would you pick there?

I believe it would be between holtz and sanderson

 

[Trxjw]

I feel like I'm always underestimating Tony's value around here but I gotta say, I don't think 6 for TDA and 22 is very good value for us. Don't get me wrong, I'm as high on Sanderson as the next guy, but giving up DeAngelo for a huge gamble doesn't seem like the kind of move Gorton would make.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Rangers doomed if they start losing young and less costly players like Lindgren for an aging and more costly Ekholm types.

Yeah I feel like Gorton would trade Tony for a more established player if he did trade him

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

So underwhelmed by Rossi as a prospect.

Ooh, buy low sell high. If i can land a young center in the top 6 of this draft for ADA and #22 i think that’s a good risk to take.

Could free up Strome cash in the near future, not pay ADA and if Krav is ready they can move Buch. That’s a lot of extra cash
