Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXXVI - On the Brink of Wasteland

[RGY]

Would love to bring in Vince Dunn.

That Stepan return was... almost fireable

As well as the McDonagh+Miller trade.

We got Lundkvist at the least but still. Giving up Miller for Hajek?

 

[Avery16]

If Smith broke his hand then we’ll all know for sure what happened.

If you're expecting a GM who never makes mistakes, you are going to be sorely disappointed.

Yup. If it wasn’t for the 2nd and 1st picks falling into our laps...

 

[duhmetreE]

Quinn and co are not in control.

 

[tomobson]

The whole board is waiting to hear who got punched. If its Johnson, fans want a contract extension. If it's Kreider, there will be an effort to hack ADA's IP address and photoshop mittens on his school photo.

what if it's Quinn?

 

[Avery16]

I don't think anyone claims him.

Competitive teams dont have cap

Bad teams dont have $$$

Could be the first move to another trade

I agree not every team can or would want to claim him, but I don’t see it being the precursor to a trade. His value is bargain bin now. Unless we’re ok with a 4th rounder or a tweener to eliminate the cap hit, I don’t see it happening.

 

[Savant]

Return was fine. Use of the assets didn't work out. Massive difference. If they listened to other scouts and Nick Suzuki was the pick instead of Lias, there'd be nothing to complain about even with DeAngelo being a psychopath.

But they didn’t.

DeAngelo was always a strange inclusion in that deal. Arizona had a ton of other assets

 

[17futurecap]

Welcome to Rangerstown

 

[TheBloodyNine]

He is absolutely getting picked up. What the f*** is going on here?

 

[Avery16]

Oh man. What if it was Georgiev?? After the botch!

 

[Trxjw]

But they didn’t.

DeAngelo was always a strange inclusion in that deal. Arizona had a ton of other assets

Again, how they used the assets they got has absolutely zero bearing on the trade value they received. Trying to argue otherwise is pointless.

 

[duhmetreE]

I accept mistakes. I'm used to Sather.

BUT When you miss that bad, trading your Captain? along with a young top6 center

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Wasteland achieved

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Once again showing that Quinn has absolutely no handle on this team, the room, nothing.

 

[Avery16]

Who hit his peak and started deteriorating one season later.

 

[LOFIN]

Oh man. What if it was Georgiev?? After the botch!

I don't know about Georgievs temper, but given his world views I'm sure he wasn't exactly best friends with DeAngelo.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

I just know that someone here knows

 

[rangers1314]

The details will come out, I can’t imagine that someone won’t talk.

 

[Savant]

Again, how they used the assets they got has absolutely zero bearing on the trade value they received. Trying to argue otherwise is pointless.

It absolutely does. That’s ridiculous to state otherwise.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

We have now reached peak clown world on this season. Nowhere else left to go but sideways.

 

[duhmetreE]

Who hit his peak and started deteriorating one season later.

Have you not watched McDonagh play?

He's still MacTruck. His contract is rough and I'm not confident he can mantain his play through it but he's still the same player..

 

[Embryo]

Well guys I am not happy. Not at all.

 

[Embryo]

how the hell does this team keep losing these leads, is it from turtling or turnovers or bad goaltending? It's like the AV days all over again. Can't hold a lead in the third, otherwise we play great.
