Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXVII

[NYSPORTS]

I wonder if Chytil could find some chemistry with Panarin and Kakko etc.

only if they pass to Chytil. Don’t expect it the other way around until he proves otherwise. Lol

 

[jfc64]

Hell no

In Miller-Rykov-Lindgren-Hajek we believe!

 

[jfc64]

Are you literally going to every team’s roster building thread and doing this?

A handful. And if I could bet on Rangers as winners in 2022 I'd throw in a 100.

 

[RGY]

but get Eichel right?

You starting up with me again? Even though there has been smoke around the Eichel rumors the last few weeks? Even though @Edge hinted there was some things going on there? Even though Adam Hermann has info?

And because its so incredibly comparable debating the team acquiring a 23 year old center to a 29 year old LHD....

Take a hike dude. No one has time for your BS negativity coupled with the condescending patronizing tone you take with anyone you disagree with. You aint running the team. Like has been said so many times before, the fans on this board worry much more about the cap than the actual GMs do.

The kid that I'm most intrigued about is Libor Hajek. Sometimes you need more reps and experience, but really what makes me think he should be able to play well is his body composition and skating ability. He is what I would categorize as a thick boy. At his height and mass and the speed and power he can generate, the guy has the athletic tools of some really good defensemen. We're talking McAvoy, Doughty, Bourque. We know Libor can take a hit like it's nothing... but that's thanks to being a thicker body out there. I'm not suggesting he's going to be a great player, but rather pointing out that center of mass on that body type has it's advantages on the ice

If he learns a little physics and applies said physics to the physicality of his game, you can get a guy who can be a deceptively powerful asset out there, especially in short bursts along the walls. The other thing is that Libor can really fly, so as a puck transporter he's more than NHL capable. The minutes are there for the taking. Someone's gotta grab them.

Idk, I'm not really high on Libor anymore. I feel like Lindgren is what Hajek was supposed to be, just maybe not as much bite. A modern day defensive-defenseman, reliable in his own zone, physical, skates well and can make some decent passes. Truthfully, I don't think any of those things have translated well for him at all. He's still young, next season is a fresh year but he's gonna have to bring it cuz so far it's been pretty ugly.

You know, there's a lot of ground in between overpriced stars and the scraps we have now.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

How should we transform our defense to that of a contender?

Smith is gone next season (with Johnson)

Johnson - DeAngelo
Smith - Trouba
Lindgren - Fox
Bitetto
Hajek

2 yrs:
Miller Trouba
Lindgren Fox
Robertson Lundkvist
(Versatile Vet)

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

K'Andre-Lundkvist
Lindgren/Reunanen-Fox
Robertson-Schneider

 

[Richard Banger]

K'Andre-Trouba
Lindgren/Reunanen-Fox
Robertson-Schneider

Lundkvist will 100 % be there most likely over trouba pushing Schneider out

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Lundkvist will 100 % be there most likely over trouba pushing Schneider out

Agreed

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

So who's the top pick in the draft next year?

 

[Tob]

So who's the top pick in the draft next year?

aatu raty

 

[Fvital92]

So who's the top pick in the draft next year?

It seems it is between a group of 8 guys. In other words, not a great draft tô win the lottery.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Nils gets traded within the next 12 months.

 

[bobbop]

Thank you for this.

Don’t encourage him

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Nils gets traded within the next 12 months.

So we get rid of both Deangelo and Lundkvist?? Is this team allergic to right handed offensive defenseman?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

So we get rid of both Deangelo and Lundkvist?? Is this team allergic to right handed offensive defenseman?

Yes, but they still have Fox and a bunch of LHD who should be adequate to good offensively.

 

[B17 Apricots]

Don’t encourage him

I got a ton of laughs out of it I loved it

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Nils gets traded within the next 12 months.

No sir

 

[duhmetreE]

IF... big IF..

If we trade ADA and/or Lundkvist, I'd look at Savard. Nice compliment on the right side for our young LHD. Can lock him up for 2-3 years to help mitigate the 'transition'

Twats were ringing that he's available. UFA next season.

Holy meltdown

 

[Crease]

I don’t see a situation where neither DeAngelo nor Lundkvist is a Ranger in 2022.

 

[Savant]

Nils gets traded within the next 12 months.

I could see it, but that has to be for a very big fish. One could certainly argue Nils value might never be higher than it is now

 

[NYSPORTS]

I don’t see a situation where neither DeAngelo nor Lundkvist is a Ranger in 2022.

Would be nice to keep them both.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Would be nice to keep them both.

Not sure how you can when you have Trouba, Fox and Schneider on the right side as well
