Roster Building Thread - Part VIII (2023-24 season)

One wonders if NYR are in on Ethan Bear. Seems like he would fit our system. Drury might be reluctant to bench Schneider however.

I don't think it's that out of pocket.

Aging stars tend to come here. We're seen as a contending team. If the Penguins go belly up, I don't see Sid sitting around and watching it.

I log off for 3 days and now we're trading for Crosby? Makes sense to me

Nothing would surprise me less, in fact its the most likely outcome eventually. NHL Stars want to play here before their careers end. It would be unprecedented because we have such a history with him and the Penguins. Ive always thought we should lean into that part of the franchises history more as a fanbase, but i digress.

All hypothetical and just good banter after a few off days, but if Crosby asks to be moved id put the percentages at:

30% rangers
25% Avs
15% Habs
15%Hawks (Bedard)
15% The Field

Bigger rivals than the Rangers and the Penguins have made trades.

It probably doesn't happen just like anything we discuss *probably* doesn't happen but I'm surprised people are against it.

A player like that coming here is really f***ing cool.

Sid asking for a trade or signing somewhere else just seems like absolute fantasy land, no matter how bad the Penguins could be. He has won his cups, and while I'm sure he's still one of the most competitive guys in the league, I'm sure he also cares for legacy as a 1 club man.

Crosby? I’d rather not win the cup than win with him on the squad. Good lord.

why? it's not like he's a dirty player or a bad guy. he just whines to the refs a lot, which is annoying when your team is playing against him, but he does it because he wants to win. he just has a burning desire to win, i would love that on my team.

For what he is gonna cost + salary command moving forward
if doable
would prefer to overpay for Sanderson and lock in to him at [hair over] 8 per for long term prime

Why exactly are they trading a 21 year old that they just locked into $8x8? I mean, yeah, that would be awesome! Throw in Stutzle too!

It's fine to covet other players, but it's pointless to keep bringing them up over and over again when they are nigh untouchable.

Crosby will be a life long Pen. Next

Even if he wasn't, can't imagine him wanting to come to New York for some reason (shocking, I know). If there would be some motivation, I think it would be to play with either MacKinnon or McDavid. Or Marchand 🤢

IF you were correct [your position was accurate] then yes.
But I am not conceding that is the case as assuredly as you suggest.

Will he cost, yes.
Overpay? Certainly

But is that overpay in certain currency we can part with which still is too much for Sens to turn down?

THAT is the question.

Look, there’s a 0% chance Crosby will ever wear a NYR jersey, so this discussion is idiotic to begin with any a total waste of time. Enjoy your Sid the Skidmark wet dream though.

I understand its 0% but saying youd pass up a cup is moronic
 
Machinehead said:
Sanderson is good but he isn't "blow up your roster to satisfy overpayment" good.

I'll never understand paying a guy 8M+ out of an ELC who isn't a top 20 player. Burn your leverage for. Uh. Good feelings? If you suck they're gonna demand a trade regardless.

Interesting if anyone has pondered if Drury could/should try to pry Buch back? 5.800 for another year, but there's a cap increase and we have probably some bottom guys contracts expiring.

Isles get Robert Bortuzzo for a 7th.

Pulock on IR


We need our 7th for Sid.

Gonna cost more than that assuming double retention. Probably talking *multiple* sevenths. Luckily the rangers have quite a few surplus sevenths.
The real question is, do we keep those picks to eventually overwhelm Edmonton for McDavid.

Arthur Steple reported over the summer that Drury is not a big Buchnevich fan. That trade is not happening. Judging by the return on the trade, Drury didn't think very much of Buchnevich who is playing more LW than RW in St. Louis.
