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

[NYR94]

Where do the Penguins find these guys like Tanev ? He has been a real thorn in these 4 games with the Penguins . He has been like a buzz saw ...his wheels never stop turning .

When the Rangers play the Penguins these days you hear the same names over and over--Tanev, Crosby, Guentzel, Marino and Letang (when healthy). Not much Malkin. But you're definitely right about Tanev and his wheels in particular, that motor that never stops got him a lot of buzz going back to his college days.

I wish this was handled more quietly. By waiving him and no one biting we’ve advertised that he has negative value. We probably have to retain or take a contract back in a trade now. This could’ve been an internal suspension instead of the spectacle it turned into

Who said that?

90% of the NHL board and quite a few posters here.

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

He'll magically get bent over yet again and probably like it lol

 

[True Blue]

Oh makes sense. I thought you forgot them.

No, just how I read the tea leaves as far as team construction is going.

he has a horrible contract, sure hope he earns it.

There are mean people in the world...Boowaaah.
Find a good trade partner and get it over with..

 

[Do you want ants]

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

Why wouldn’t they trade him in the division if that’s the best package?

If he’s such an issue in the locker room don’t you want him tearing apart a rival from within?

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

The overall point is that on each side the Rangers have two close viable candidates for one open spot.

 

[Cag29]

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

The more interest the better it gets. Especially if we retain money. He’s a hot head but a very good PP QB.

Which is a good problem.

Seriously???? Go back and look at the "Waived: Tony DeAngelo" thread on the trade board when Herman's BS report was first posted.

 

[RangersFan1994]

would the Rangers be stupid enough to trade a substantial piece like a 1st or Kravtaov with DeAngelo just to dump him?? this scares me that they would something this stupid

Maybe we have different definitions of 90%. Agree to disagree

“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

That’s exactly right. And they are thinking oh I can fix him.

Well, right now his cost is at approx $10 million for 6 games or $1.66 million per game.

can’t wait to how this works out for the cap strapped Rangers :/

You let him rot and eat the cap hit instead of paying that price to move him

 

[RangersFan1994]

I'm all for it, but the team can't really afford any more missing centers. We're so short on top producing centers as is.

he isn't healthy and not producing. its not like he is producing much.

 

[Cmox]

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

Cheaper haul and a on retained short contract might intrigue some

I just hope they don't do a panic move

No. They are not going to do this. They would just buy him out instead...

No way.

If it went to that direction, send him home and buy him out in the offseason.
