Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXVI

[aufheben]

Murray pretty decent too.

But he’s held together by bubble gum and is essentially a rental.

 

[NYSPORTS]

The difference is no one is talking about locking up Strome long term.

And the fact that Montreal gave 40 million to a third liner is their problem.

Respectfully, that’s a Canadian problem. I don’t believe they set the market. Strome is a RFA and can be signed for one year.

I like bubble gum

I can’t think of a team that would want Ryan Strome and can actually pay him

 

[NYSPORTS]

Columbus makes the most sense for Hall. They can actually give him a long term contract

good call. Wonder if that is what is best for Columbus or Hall?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

no brooks asked the question and Gorton answered him. Gorton didn’t bring it up randomly before that did he?

I didn’t watch the entire interview only clips so you’re probably right

Still I think it’s trade related. It’s obvious the trade situation for Tony didn’t materialize as Gorton would like and he’s letting everyone know “yeah we have 3 great RD, we don’t have to move anyone right now”

That’s how I took it

 

[Kovalev27]

I wouldn’t go near the kid. He’s kryptonite but I think losing Panarin they’re desperate and a guy like hall who probably normally would never go to Columbus, in these conditions may consider it

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

They traded two NHL defensemen today for an ECHL player and a 5th lol

 

[RangersFan1994]

Wennberg, Wallmark, Hinostoza, Kuhun, Cousins and Forbert should all be getting calls tomorrow from NYR.

and if they have room for a Clifford and I don't want Martin although I can see it happening

 

[NYSPORTS]

personally, i think it’s a good call for Columbus yet a bad fit with Torts. Two nice centerman up the middle yet defense first coach.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Wrong thread.

 

[duhmetreE]

If a player has a modified NTC, that has no bearing on the Expansion Draft, does it? Would it need specific verbiage?

 

[Avery16]

I can’t think of a team that would want Ryan Strome and can actually pay him

Only teams with lots of cap space and that can't attract FAs. How many of those are out there?

 

[bl02]

He will get rude awakening if he tests market or at least one would think. Even teams under cap are hurting for cash.
He is better off taking 4 million for a year or two and hope he gets to play with Panarin then test market when hopefully things are better.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Lundqvist will sign at 12:05 and then Pietrangelo will hold up the market until Tuesday. The NHL network will re-play the draft rounds 2-7 on a loop to break up the slow UFA news.

I hope not.. I bet Pietrangelo already made his decision

 

[bl02]

Only teams with lots of cap space and that can't attract FAs. How many of those are out there?

And out of those how many want to spend the cash albeit I guess some of those teams have to reach the cap floor

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Ottawa makes sense for Strome when you consider they A)desperately need bodies on that team and B) more likely than not could recoup at the deadline what they traded for him so it’s a wash

But I guess at that point why not just go shopping during free agency for bodies and not lose anything but money

 

[Tob]

So CBJ unloading like $10M willy nilly like they did, giving away assets for next to nothing, Hall has committed right? Ariz gave him permission to talk to teams since they weren't spending. That'll make our division tougher next year.

Nah, because CBJ is still coached by Torts. I dont think you can just swap out top-six players, subtract a whole D pairing and not have a lot of adjustment. And we all remember who sucks at adjusting.

 

[Zynbanejad]

I don’t get the Strome concern. We stand firm on the QO. He’s not gonna leave if we say no to $5M or whatever he wants. He’s not dumb. He knows if he stays another year, he’ll have another “great” season alongside Panarin thus increasing his stock.

arbitration rights

 

[Zynbanejad]

arbitration rights

if he goes to arbitration, can’t we just say no and lose him for nothing? He also knows the risk going to arbitration. He won’t hit this seasons numbers ever again and risk a bad market for him this offseason.

 

[wafflepadsave]

But he got 40M because he’s 6’5 and viewed as a rare power forward

strome is neither of those things and every team in the league knows he’s not very good. No one is giving him that money

And thus no good trade offers.

 

[Leetch3]

Vince’s podcast today talked specifically about Tony moving to the left and him feeling more and more like that will be the case. I don’t think Brooks brought it up coincidentally. I think these guys have been hearing this recently.

by the way again on Fast I believe from Gorton’s message the Rangers have made an offer it’s just not a great one and it’s up to Fast what he wants to do

I think it was fed to him to ask but to put the option out there for trade leverage. they don't want it out there that we have to move someone on the right side...they might try it if no one gets moved but I think thats the motivation right now

 

[NYRangers16]

I think a lot of teams will be willing to go higher than we will. Haula might be more of a TDA trade acquisition in a year or two.

e: I think Haula is in the group of players that won’t get edged out by the flat cap.

Sadly you are probably right.
