Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LX

[bl02]

This can be a real exciting time around the league and definitely for us coming up tuesday eve.
Just stepping back and looking at it when have we have such a mix of "vets" who could play, unreal prospects and more coming along, and cap space? This is like being up 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter. Just don't pull an Atlanta Falcons in the superbowl. Be a little more patient and look 2-3-4 years down the road.

Well this throws a wrench into any possible Klefbom/Nurse deal

Good. I don't want either one of those guys.

Klefbom was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning he breaks his legs, and every afternoon he breaks his arms. At night, he lies awake in agony as his heart attacks put him to sleep.

I'd love to get my paws on Eichel. Ever since Bob dropped the vile, I'm hooked on whatever he dropped.

That last line legitimately made me laugh out loud. Well done.

If the Rangers are pursuing trading ADA this is a good thing. One less player on the market. If nothing else, this will scare other teams away

 

[NYR Viper]

The average age of the players we have signed, plus Laf, is 24.

This is bonkers

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Is Stamkos' injury history and contract length too scary to even think about? I feel like he could probably be had for a reasonable price right now with where Tampa is at cap wise and obviously he's still one hell of a center(when healthy).

Yes.

 

[Polar Bear]

The Stamkos train left the station a long time ago. Lol

Do not want Stamkos. So injury riddled

It's now the Eichel train until further notice.

 

[Polar Bear]

I refuse to even enter the damn station until next off-season. It's not happening for now. lol

It's happening. Embrace the bullshit.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Stamkos is only signed until 2024? That’s not too scary. Live a little.

 

[NYRangers16]

Do we attempt to sign Chytil, Howden and Lindgren to favorable deals? Hoping they pan out

Yes!!

 

[RangersFan1994]

I have a feeling it will be Barkov if Panthers move him. ill take both though.

 

[NYRangers0723]

The problem is the cost would be astronomical. I understand Fans want to win this very minute but let’s finish the rebuilding process. We have done a great job and have gotten some luck. We moved up to get Kakko now we win the lottery.

 

[Rongomania]

Oh man... either one and it would be so deadly.

I'd be happy either way as long as laf/kk/Shesty stay

 

[Ori]

Yap, Yap Staal gone.

 

[Levitate]

I feel weirdly hesitant about Eichel. Just really not sure if it's the right move...I dunno why exactly. Part of me wonders if there's some of those BS "character concern" type things going on in my head, how much of the issues in Buffalo had to do with him as well? The fact that even though he's a star player, he's had trouble staying healthy and hasn't put up quite what I'd consider truly elite numbers.
What would be the cost, what would be the effect on the team the Rangers are trying to build?

e: personally I think it's doubtful it happens but I guess you never know. For some reason I'd rather have Barkov but maybe that's dumb

 

[Kravtsov420]

Sigh with the Eichel stuff. We waited a while to acquire this much youth, and before we even know what we have, it’s trade it all away for another big name.

the more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Guys if we add Stamkos we'll have another obvious buyout candidate. We love buyouts around here. Don't want to miss this.

Uh, you do realize the big name is a little less than 24 years old, right?

I cant imagine it is barkov, would you want two elite centers entering ufa the same summer?
