Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXIX

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

Do youse think Kakko + Fox + Lafreniere is enough to get Eichel + Hall

Someone take away his keyboard, damn monster. How dare you propose something so dark and evil, straight from the pits of hell.

Slipping out of this thread for now.

Don’t worry, it’s only 3 months until camp might start, all players needs it’s full break since like two teams played a few games in like late August. I am sure the Eichel/Toews/Johnson topics will mature like a good wine until then!

With these ingredients I doubt good wine is possible.

Any word on Strome?

I had a dream he signed for 3 years on a very good hit, but the terms were not disclosed. It also involved a penguin and a permanent marker. Failing to see the connection.

Wouldn't expect any Strome news until closer to his arbitration date on Nov 5th

Ha! Well if he’s smart he takes a 2 year 4 million per deal. No ones giving him more if he hit send UFAs

Allows Lemieux to sign a few yrs around 1.5 per

Strongly, strongly prefer a 1 year deal over 2 for Strome.

1x4 is good for both sides. Strome gets another year likely with Panarin to boost his UFA value, in a market that will hopefully have better salary cap situations for interested teams.

NYR should not need to keep Strome that 2nd year. Just not the kind of player you want to invest serious money in as a contender. You go out and try to find a bargain bin replacement like Vinny Prospal for cheap if you absolutely need to.

2 might be better for Strome and what he wants. the market might actually be worse next year with younger / better UFA's hitting the market and even less cap space available.

This cites nothing beyond his arbitration date. Seems speculative. Plus, Forever Blueshirts.

 

[egelband]

Going from 3.1 to 4 is around a 30% raise. Not bad in this date and time. I’d give him 2/8. I think that’s a win-win.

I just don’t see it. That’s not a “marginal” raise, as the article claims. We let Fast walk over less, percentage-wise.

 

[NYR Viper]

If I'm Strome and I'm looking around at the landscape for next season. I want a 2 year deal.

2 years allows exposure to Seattle and he would more than likely be the player they would take as he would have value as a trade chip at the deadline. 2 also gives him a good salary for 2 years in a weird economic climate.

He at $4 is bargain bin. At $5 for several years it is still a very good deal.

There is a world of difference between Strome and Fast.

 

[UnSandvich]

Strome for multiple years at 5+ is a genuinely awful contract.

 

[Crease]

Put me in the camp preferring a 1 year deal for Strome, although it's hard to get a true read on a player in a contact year.

"The Rangers currently have around $10 million in cap space to sign both Strome and Lemieux. Reality is that number is close to $7 million because of performance bonuses. So if we anticipate Lemieux to come in between $1.5 million, which I feel will be closer to $2 million, that leaves the Rangers very little wiggle room for Strome."

Exceptional writing here.

Fox just had the best rookie season for NYR since Lundqvist and some folks are still trying to trade him

 

[TheBloodyNine]

I think they'll come to a deal with Strome. 1 year is my guess. That will keep the number lower because it will take him directly to UFA. At that point the Rangers will have identified a trade target to fill in their center needs.

 

[Avery16]

Agreed, but not in the way you’re suggesting.
