Roster Building thread - Part X - (TDL edition)

Nothing in terms of cost. Just that patches has interest in coming here, and has the ability to veto any other trade. If I hear anything cost wise I’ll relay what I hear. His cap hit is only 2 mil.

What is Max's game now after all the injuries? Another Wheeler maybe?

Could always have him replace Igor on the PP and turn them all into 6 on 4s.

15+ pages late on this, but Montreal used to do this back in the days of the Original Six since they were so much skilled and talented than everyone

 

[GAGLine]

Tampa is always a threat in a 7 gamer but they lack the forward depth those cup teams had. Jeannott trade was the first strike.

Yeah, they've gotten to the point where they aren't even trying to draft players. They are just using whatever assets they have to add NHL players with term to keep the team on top. With that kind of strategy, the mistakes are magnified.

Happy to get him out of the division. The prick has like 95 goals against the Rangers.

Rangers vs Vegas in the SCF confirmed.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Not truly sure. But if the caps retain 50 percent id give it a shot

Deadline is so boring without Jim Ramsay leaking to the press.

@Jim Ramsay

What do you have for us.

I wouldn’t be upset with Pacioretty, but would prefer to exhaust other options first.

I hear you. I think if we get Pacioretty, it isn't as a main deadline acquisition, rather as a move of opportunity. I'd be shocked if we didn't make other moves in conjunction with that trade.

Another player injury prone. I like him 10 years ago. Now not so much.

Plus Vasilevsky has not been good this season, coming back from his offseason surgery.

 

[NYR Viper]

If Vancouver needs cap space, what about Conor Garland? They tried to move him last year. The Rangers could fit him with the LTIR space. Small guy who plays with a lot of passion. He’d look good on that Zibanejad line

I cant see them moving him at this point. They moved kuzmenko already.

The first strike was signing Vasilevskiy to a mega deal. You can’t have that much cap wrapped up in net. It’s why they have to sacrifice depth and draft picks and make moves like the Jeannott trade.

I mean it may make more sense that trying to trade Lindholm who they just acquired though no?

 

[Savant]

So then why stop there. If we don't care about the quality and number of assets that we are trading away let's see what McDavid would cost if we want the best player.

Because the Oilers aren’t selling

 

[IDvsEGO]

I mean it may make more sense that trying to trade Lindholm who they just acquired though no?

Depends on team chemistry really? Garland has been around a while, might be a real staple in the room, whereas Lindholm hasn't been there that long.

 

[Savant]

I'd rather move a 2nd for Wennberg, than a 1st, ++++. Neither of them move the needle enough.

I wouldn’t. Team is in win now. If they are putting chips in the table I’d rather pay more and get the better guy.

But of course this also isn’t what I would be doing in general so I can only speak on what I see in front of me

 

[Machinehead]

Oh, Lindholm sucks?

Analytics win again.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Pacioretty is too injury prone

Pacioretty is too injury prone

He doesn't need to be healthy for long, and he can score goals. I'd rather gamble on him than spend big on someone else.

3 goals in 25 games, that’s Kakko levels of shit

 

[egelband]

splitting up panarin/tro/laf is a terrible idea.

Can always re-assemble the line if it doesn’t work out.

 

[RangersFan1994]

How about Marco Scandella as a defensive dman pick up?

Scandella has been underrated.


He is a LD

Yes, but he's playing on the Caps, who are 3rd worst in goals scored this year.

He's also coming back from significant injury, but historically, he has always been a good goal scorer. At a low cost, he's worth the gamble.

 

[Tob]

So many teams just f***ing suck this year. There are like 5 good teams. Too many sellers, not enough buyers. Amazing that Monahan got sold for 1st+ so early.

Diamondhands Drury should hold out for some cheap deals for 3rds and 4ths in the final stretch run.
