Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXXVII - Holding a Lead for Dummies (Info in OP)

[jay from jersey]

Oh yeah, this goes back way further than him sulking about a benching and already being on third base for being kicked off the team.

I have zero, doubts about that.

Hey edge can I PM you??

 

[Ghost of jas]

You mentioned just a few, and one of them (Kravstov) hasn't even really had any issue? He came over early and wasn't ready. That is not a surprise at all compared to his peers and it evidently did not throw off his development of his abilities considering how well he has fared in the KHL just this year.

Lias had some very real mental health issues. Deangelo is an entire other can of worms. There are many players that have done many worse things or had much worse issues throughout the NHL in the last few years alone.

It is just unfortunate. But frankly, our guys that develop well have far outweighed the number that have not in my opinion. We are still in the midst of a huge turn around in the organization. This offseason involved the final bits of changing over from roster staples that literally dictated the core, direction, and values for the better part of 2 decades.

Considering that Kravtsov not only came back to Hartford and responded to what the coaches were asking of him, then impressed when invited to the bubble, and has clearly gotten himself back into the good graces of the organization, with JD praising him repeatedly the past six months, I do not understand why he keeps getting brought up.

If you had to put a number to it what are the chances we actually can trade the cancer?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Let's do a quick check in on the highest draft picks, can't miss prospects in Rangers history


ahhh shit

Fox, Lindgren and Miller all have one very specific thing in common - they are all college players. Let's see DQ develop a non-college player.

and they were all at least 21 when they started

 

[Edge]

60 percent chance.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

We will get Tony’s side on Parler eventually... probably from the KHL.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Spin and narrative control is one thing, but JD and Miller’s agent denying any real issue or incident here so vehemently is pretty convincing.

They could have easily largely ignored it or given some political non answer the way they did with Saturday’s events. They didn’t; they flat out said it was misinformation that had no basis in fact or reality.

Wait, who is Brodzinski?

Trying to preserve trade value and the possibility of another NHL team taking a chance on him?

They are well behind the point of that without the bullshit puck story.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Trying to preserve trade value and the possibility of another NHL team taking a chance on him?

It's an open secret at this point. You don't think teams have an idea of the situation? There's no reason for them to lie. They've already tanked his value rock bottom anyway.

 

[Kakko]

Wait, who is Brodzinski?

I thought it was Kyle Brodziak for bit, tbh

 

[Edge]

One of the most telling aspects of the presser was the comment about telling Tony “one more thing.”

I can’t see the benching being the starting point for that conversation.

 

[Ola]

Did he clear?

 

[nyr2k2]

Did he clear!

Yes.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Wait, who is Brodzinski?

Who?

I was thinking, what is a Brodzinski.

Like, dude, Dan and I totally Brozinski’d that chick we saw at the bar the other night. Giggity.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Trying to preserve trade value and the possibility of another NHL team taking a chance on him?

That’s a logical argument, but still seems a dangerous game to play. The truth tends to come out. Again could easily have went with a more cagey response.

They aren’t going to trick some team into believing that DeAngelo doesn’t have major baggage by omitting things at this point.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

I think Edge just put it at 60% an NHL tram trades for him. We would likely have to retain salary. I think the only common cause the Rangers and TDAs camp have at this point is moving him to another team in the league pronto if that indeed remains possible.

I thought it was a joke or a term for “I don’t know who the f*** is playing that position” but then I saw multiple tweets.

It’s definitely a term for something I know that much.

Wait what is it called when you’re smoking the Devil’s lettuce via a particular device and you accidentally laugh and the material goes all over the place?

 

[Cmox]

Wait, who is Brodzinski?

NHL 21 be a gm #10 in the 2028 draft

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Tony’s agent, Bob, and Edge are suggesting something is or might be in the works with a trade. That’s all the confirmation I need to hear.

Apparently his first name is spelled

J O N N Y

You can’t make this shit up. Incoming hat trick I guess.

McKenzie? Richards?

 

[Trxjw]

I think someone will take him. It'll be the Rangers eating some of his deal and getting less than they'd hoped, but I think some team will trade for him. Some team with maybe an older room, perhaps more players who share Tony's worldview, and betting on the idea that he'll bounce back and learn from this shit show. If that doesn't work, he's an easy buyout for the new team in a few months.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

McKenzie? Richards?

Sorry, I don’t know who this McKenzie Richards cat is.
