Speculation: Roster Building Thread Part VII: Return of Beaver Brad

[Miamipuck]

Yup.

Not surprised odc is saying Jagr. He'd take Stu Bickel at 3.5 over Nash. Lisin too.

Hahahaha

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Yup.

And Jeremy Morin

 

[Machinehead]

Jeff Toms?

What's wrong with Stu Bickel?

 

[Tawnos]

What's wrong with Stu Bickel?

I asked that every time the puck was on his stick.

 

[Vitto79]

So are they really not bringing another F in? Going to dumpster dive on waivers ?

If I was to make a prediction, if one of the young D plays well in camp, they might then flip Holden for a forward.

Oilers need a veteran defenseman. I'd be irritated if DeAngelo, Bereglazov, or Pionk was NHL ready but didn't play due to Staal/Holden.

True . I think Berzeglov will be a lock unless he's just terrible in camp

Deangelo has to earn the spot to make them move Holden

 

[darko]

I think ADA is more of a chance to be there for Game 1 than Berez.

 

[Avery16]

If you have a KHL out-clause, would you really invoke it just because you aren't on opening night roster?

 

[Fitzy]

If I was making a million in the KHL versus 90k in the AHL, I'd strongly consider it.

 

[Hire Sather]

Seriously, did Sandy Alderson sneak into the Rangers FO? Why aren't they bringing in any forwards??

Rangers have been content as hell for months. There is no reason at all to not bring in some guys on PTOs and here they are being picked away by other clubs

makes no sense at all. no sense.

Yeah, but those are salaries, not what you make on opening night.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

How is a guy who's never played in the NHL or in North America a lock but a guy who's played half a season of NHL hockey on the outside looking in?

Because we're fine.

Sandy Alderson attitude right there.

I'm assuming that they're waiting to see how other teams camps shake out, then take advantage of either waivers or finding a cheap trade to make.

I think we may have been hoping for a larger move. I think we have looked for a top 6 forward not bottom 6 so we have kept our powder dry. We probably figure that the guys available right now are not worth fighting over.

 

[NickyFotiu]

By the way it sounds like Nash wants to have a bounce back season. That can be very good for us but he may not be thinking along the same lines as HF posters saying he will come back here "cheap".

“Every year I want to have the best year possible. But this year, it’s an important year for me personally,” Nash said Friday at Citi Field during an event promoting the Winter Classic between the Rangers and Sabres on New Year’s Day at the ballpark. “It’s an important year for the Rangers, too. We still haven’t achieved that goal (winning the Stanley Cup) that we all want to achieve.”

probably wouldn't invoke it immediately but also probably wouldn't give you more than a month or so to be brought back up.

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

Jeff Toms?

He had a hat trick once.

I'm looking for a Top 9 type player, just a body. We're not gunna get a legit Top 6er on a PTO. Just want bodies, depth. Injuries can and will happen, Fast already out. I just don't understand doing nothing unless a lot of these guys just see other teams as a better opportunity.

I'm not speaking about a top 6 player on a PTO. I think our management team got some cap room and wanted to keep their powder dry in case a trade for a player like a Duchene or RNH comes along. They didn't want to waste 1.5-3.5 mill in cap room on a lesser player in case a trade possibility comes our way.

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

I'd give two-weeks notice, like anywhere... I don't blame Russian kids at all. Like, "why'd you sign me if you don't want me 'yet.' It's nice to have a kid like AA who's willing to play his way up, but I doubt he'd have wanted to do another year. Bereglazov should be told two weeks for everything (and if they don't stick to it, well we're not in the running for the next Panarin). Let him sign back in the KHL but convince him not long-term. MZA is a real testament to it, they should really use him in negotiating. There are dozens of players not in the NHL that should be.

This + they're probably waiting to see the results from other team's camps. Isn't there supposed to be extra waiver movement before this season because of Vegas?
