Roster Building thread - Part X - (TDL edition)

[New York RKY]

Fair, but I mean there are no cup favorites. Upgrading to Guentzel on the first line, Wennberg in the middle on the 3rd line and having Igor continue to play in god mode, I'd have a hard time seeing how we wouldn't be one of the favorites, even with Trouba and Lindgren.

Trouba and Lindgren see your doubts and raise a “watch me!”

 

[bl02]

He has been a point per game player for the last 6 years. I'd ship our 1st, Kakko and a prospect out if I thought we had a snowballs chance in hell of re-signing him. He is worth it.

we can't sign another winger for what he is gonna want to be paid (8 million plus) and not to mention the term.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

He's a proven 3C who plays a complete 200ft game and is a good transporter of the puck. He is also, what I would consider a plus skater. Not in the way that Kreider is but he can scoot.

He's 29 years old and if we look at his past 3 entrances into the playoffs, 2019-2020, 2020-2021 and 2022-2023 he has a respectable 14 points in 30 games.

Only 2 of those points on the man advantage

Sorry. Forgot to add the sarcasm/haha tags. It was hyperbole. Though, that doesn't change the fact that Tuch is a very good player and just about the only name mentioned that checks all the boxes people bring up.

That all being said, I don't think he is even available so...moot point really.

I did think it was a bit of a weird one!

 

[huerter]

It's wild to see how peoples opinions are so different in here.

You can go with the former high major DOBO or the Gen Z lunatics.

 

[NYR Viper]

 

[bleedblue94]

suspect team rules violation. jackets are almost certainly not trading him. why would they?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Buffalo doesn't have a single player or combination of players/prospects that are worth Adam Fox.

This is hyberbole & viewed solely with Rangers colored glasses. If Buffalo offered Dahlin & Tuch for Fox, I'd make this trade yesterday.

 

[Peltz]

We already got one of those, re: Mika Zibanejad.

Mika Zi-when-ejad. Right?

 

[Riche16]

pittsburgh is dreaming if they think they're getting all that for guentzel

You don't expect them to say "...but we'll settle for a 2nd & a prospect in the end" do you?

 

[New York RKY]

I mean if we read the tea leaves it’s pretty clear the rangers want a shut down checking/matchup and possession line. If Wennberg is the target putting him with Kakko could give you 2/3rds of that line. As for the 3rd piece I would love for it to be Cuylle but my gut says it would probably be Goodrow (barf) in big games/down the stretch.

 

[zlev]

going to go hog wild right now

IN:
Guentzel
Wennberg
Hanifin

OUT:
Kakko
Lindgren
Goodrow
Robertson
1st, 2nd, 3rd round picks
(probably more prospects too but hear me out)

LTIR:
Trouba

Kreider-Zibanejad-Guentzel
Panarin-Trocheck-Lafreniere
Cuylle-Wennberg-Vesey
Edstrom-Brodzinski-Rempe

Miller-Fox
Hanifin-Schneider
Jones-Gustafsson

still dont think this teams good enough. or under the cap either.

 

[bl02]

didn't he look like prime Jagr vs us the last game in Columbus? lol

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Curious, from what Wenneberg sounds like and how productive Brassard was with Columbus. Is it possible Wenneberg blossoms into a poor man's Brassard?

 

[New York RKY]

Mika Zi-when-ejad. Right?

The answer: Mika Zi-nevera-jad

I'd be pissed if Goodrow was not put on the 4th line and kept there.

 

[NYR Viper]

seattle has so many d men, that is worthless for them. they would want a forward back.

They really don't for next year. They are losing Schultz next year. Borgen, Dumoulin and Larsson are UFA's after next year

 

[New York RKY]

I'd be pissed if Goodrow was not put on the 4th line and kept there.

Oh I agree 100% but judging by Lavi’s utilization of him in a “playoff type” game it leads me to believe he buys in the non-existent intangibles hype.

 

[DanielBrassard]

If you want a true shutdown line, Vesey-Wennberg-Kakko.

 

[Peltz]

pittsburgh is dreaming if they think they're getting all that for guentzel

As far as I'm aware, he's the grand prize rental of this TDL. They're going to get at least some of that for sure.

 

[NYR Viper]

Curious, from what Wenneberg sounds like and how productive Brassard was with Columbus. Is it possible Wenneberg blossoms into a poor man's Brassard?

I think that's unlikely. At 29 years old, he is what he is. A smooth skating, 200ft, ~30 point center.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Sorry, I would 100% be all over this. Guz would be a mammoth addition for this run.

 

[bleedblue94]

They really don't for next year. They are losing Schultz next year. Borgen, Dumoulin and Larsson are UFA's after next year

you said they dont for next year and listed one player they are loosing. everyone else is two years from now. is robertson taking schultz's role next year? completely different types of d men, doesnt seem to fit. so then is robertson going to be their 7th d next year? you think they prefer that to a forward? i dont

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

So when is this Wennberg trade going down?

 

[bl02]

Sorry, I would 100% be all over this. Guz would be a mammoth addition for this run.

You're trading Kakko, a first and Sykora for a Guentzel rental?
