Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXXVIII - Calm in the eye of Desolation?

[True Blue]

Jones. Lundkvist as well.

This is where we diverge. Gorton and JD are not building a team to have Fox, Jones, and Lundqvist in the lineup at the same time.

I believe that Lundqvist will ultimately be an asset that is used to bring in another asset. And gun to head today, I think that Lindgren is here over Jones.

@Kakko Schmakko was defending his actions that is why I was responding to him. And lmao your right I’m throwing a tantrum. Let’s just sweep this away and never talk about it again... typical.

Indefensible

 

[duhmetreE]

Yandle has 3 years left... at 6.35M.. THREE years left. He's 34.

Robertson is right around the corner... Why would we trade for another Staal like contract.

 

[Kovalev27]

“All of a sudden “sounds more like teams found out it wasn’t a racially charged incident and feel more compelled to give a guy that talented, that young and relatively inexpensive another shot.

There are certainly markets he’ll be more umm welcomed in than others is my guess

A player like Borgstrom from Florida. A similar situation as to some of our past youngins. Decided to stay in Finland, still unsigned but I believe he has a NHL opt-out clause. From what I've gathered, he's playing better now @Amazing Kreiderman would know A LOT more

It makes a lot of sense. He's been in the NCAA and excelled greatly there ( Quinn's specialty? ). He's a promising young center that still needs to put it together. Was not happy with his role in Floirda. Florida has Barkov and Lundell for the future.

I have my reservations about Borgstrom who is already 23 years old and really hasnt done anything special at any level since his draft year. I really wouldnt be inclined to give up much for him. It is well documented he has fallen out of favor with Florida for awhile now and they still havent been able to trade him.

 

[nsvoyageurs]

Meanwhile, back in reality land, FOUR teams are interested in him....

Use your head, man

Which teams? Seriously asking; haven't seen interest expressed elsewhere.

 

[duhmetreE]

Börgström is playing alright. He's not lighting it up in Helsinki to be honest but as a change-of-scenery type it wouldn't hurt.

He would not be a any help this season. It would be a move for the future

you dont think he would come to the NHL if a team traded for him? this year?

6:14PM: According to Darren Dreger on TSN, there is “a ton of interest, all the sudden,” in Tony DeAngelo and a trade could happen “within the next few days.”

NYR News > There is “a ton” of interest in Tony DeAngelo

Remember what I told you about talent.

Everyone figures they can fix the personality problems. You can’t fix someone who doesn’t have enough talent.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

It depends on what the loan deal is. Liiga doesn't really do short-term loan deals in general so I assume it was a loan for the full season

 

[True Blue]

Interestingly Robertson - Lundkvist seems as much of a natural pair as Jones - Schneider.

I like Robertson - Schneider as that young Girardi-Staal. Or even better, Sauer - Girardi

 

[LaffyTaffy]

We couldnt move him all summer but all of a sudden everyone wants a piece? Probably speaks more to our ask during the summer.

 

[Cag29]

Who's defending ADAs actions?

People are just tired of emotional tantrums like yours because you despise a guy. It's not based on what actually happened in the tunnel.. We get it, you have a deep rooted disdain for the guy and his tribe.

Ada had many chances and he finally used the last one. I liked him also and wanted him to succeed.
because if he does well the team does well.
Georgi and Ada both had terrible games and were on in OT. Both were exhausted. They both handled it poorly. Ada was out of Chances Georgi wasn’t.
All the other hearsay is BS. It’s done let’s move on.

 

[Machinehead]

Dreger reporting there is A LOT of interest in DeAngelo. Could be moved in the next day or two.

But I thought he would never play in the NHL again?

Who said that?

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

WTF happened to Rykov?

Kind of laid an egg in Hartford, now he's with CSKA in Russia. I only listened to a handful of Pack games on radio but the people here who watched said he wasn't very good. I guess we still have his rights. Evaluating defensive defensemen outside of the NHL seems extremely difficult.

Even if his year in Hartford was just a down year, I get why Russian guys who are only good enough to be marginal NHLers tend to just stay in Russia. It's probably a better life being a bigger player over there.

 

[True Blue]

I figure at some point we're gonna have to unload some of our riches on D to fill a weakness.

That was always going to happen. All of the prospects in the system cannot possibly play here at the same time.

 

[Machinehead]

Yandle has 3 years left... at 6.35M.. THREE years left. He's 34.

Robertson is right around the corner... Why would we trade for another Staal like contract.

A Yandle deal would obviously require retention.

With the emergence of Miller, though, I'm honestly not sure what Yandle does for us.

Someone needs to bear the brunt of this board...

WTF happened to Rykov?

Left behind by the other prospects

I like Yandle, but no thanks to that third year, and the buyout is ugly on that last year too, hard pass.

Like the commentator said last night Talent always wins. Hopefully Gorton can work some magic.

 

[Mandar]

Gotta figure they won’t be sending him someplace local. Probably out west somewhere (Hertl?....I’m dreaming, I know).

 

[JT Kreider]

Who said that?

Everyone when Adam Herman first released his report that the Rangers had concerns with DeAngelo's treatment of Miller and by including the Zoom incident in the byline insinuated that Miller was the victim of racial discrimination.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Like the commentator said last night Talent always wins. Hopefully Gorton can work some magic.

don’t hold your breath. The guy was benched one game into a new contract for slamming a door.

Oh makes sense. I thought you forgot them.

He was never untradeable. We just tried to trade him for Dubois and CBJ of course got and accepted a much better offer.
