Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXV

[haohmaru]

Is that NY "significant" or Ottawa "significant"? I hope it's the latter.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yeah Strome won’t be here next year

 

[aufheben]

Not unpossible, but definitely not part of their long-term planning.

I really don’t see what the big deal is but it’s not my call.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Yeah Strome won’t be here next year

And by next year, do you mean start of the season January 1? Because I do.

 

[Vitto79]

Don’t move Fox to the left. He is our best Dman.

Lindgren-Fox
ADA-Trouba
Smith-???

I think that could work.

still doesn’t fix our 2C problem

Tony doesn’t need to move over until Lundkvist comes over and shows he belongs

But I still think they trade him

 

[haohmaru]

Gorton sounds like Strome is due a raise but the Rangers don't think he's worth what the market price is. He's right.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

And by next year, do you mean start of the season January 1? Because I do.

yes.

gorton blame our and said that they were looking to move him. Tough to hold onto a guy when that happens

 

[Fvital92]

Yeah Strome won’t be here next year

And Quinn will be playing him with Panarin instead of Chytil.
Man, that will be Fun!

 

[LaffyTaffy]

So what now, we keep Strome and move him at the deadline? So all because of that the Calgary deal falls apart? @Edge

 

[DanielBrassard]

This would be great.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Wrong thread

 

[Avery16]

hmm I thought they were allegedly dead set against this

 

[bleedblue94]

Sorry, but all because of what regarding the Calgary deal? Did I miss that it fell apart?

 

[Vitto79]

hmm I thought they were allegedly dead set against this

Increase the trade value basically saying they don’t have to move him

 

[rangers1314]

hmm I thought they were allegedly dead set against this

I don’t think they think it’s ideal. It could just be posturing, but it does open them up to more options when it comes to possible FA’s to fill out the blue line.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Add Lucas Wallmark to the UFA market. Potential 3C?

 

[Trxjw]

Sorry, but all because of what regarding the Calgary deal? Did I miss that it fell apart?

Nah, there wasn't any talk of things falling apart. Just teams being nervous about making big deals before or during the draft because of the uncertainty about QO's and who might be available on Friday.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Add Lucas Wallmark to the UFA market. Potential 3C?

Always liked him in his limited time on the Canes.

Overall I feel pretty good about this draft, interesting to see this one play out. I'm good with the Rangers choices, and see why they made it. Will go in-depth later, but I had a number of player that stood out from what I was able to follow or run some numbers on where available. The beauty with kids are that these levels act as a benchmark at differing levels... and you can go deeper and find the real insight after. A la Vierling. Good pick, but not my radar. Tarnstrom... love the trajectory... didn't get on my radar.

There are people who do this for a living, I merely play around with this when I can, so it's not an indictment on their efforts or reasoning. A lot more has to happen for these kids before they make it.

But... if you get into probabilities .... you know that is math... The public data has so many selective sampling issues that it's hard to say boom yes... that's truly significant... or get to the causation behind the statistics. So all that being said, I came up with a wishlist this year of "gets" and players that I would consider, below is the breakdown of the team's that had multiple picks that I would have taken a flyer on:

CLB: 2
VAN: 3
LA: 2
DET: 3
SJ: 4
TB: 2
CHI: 2
CGY: 2
CAR: 6
CHI: 3
FLA: 5
NJ: 3
NSH: 3
OTT: 4
NYR: 2
PHI: 2
TOR: 3

 

[LokiDog]

Walmark I would take on a heart beat. Good 3/4C option for us.

 

[cwede]

Tweet by Carp:
"Rangers made qualifying offers (in order to retain the rights) to RFAs Ryan Strome, Tony DeAngelo, Alexandar Georgiev, Brendan Lemieux, Phil Di Giuseppe and most of their minor leaguer RFAs. They did not qualify Ryan Gropp and Dawson Leedahl. #NYR"

So Raddysh, Fontaine, Crawley QO'd. Am i forgetting another?

 

[Edge]

Increase the trade value basically saying they don’t have to move him

Cause we all know they ain't going to come out and say, "Well to be honest we're really hoping to send him off for a center."

 

[NYR]

JG sounds like someone without a coherent plan or maybe it's just me.
Carry on lol

 

[Edge]

hmm I thought they were allegedly dead set against this

Yeah, because the quote "We're just killing time until we can find a center and one of other options comes along" is going to do wonders for the player-team relationship and any talks they're in.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Gordon should just eat Strome, then we won't have to worry about him anymore.
