Roster Building thread - Part X - (TDL edition)

[Charlie Conway]

Can't see Novak being available. Solid numbers the last 2 years and a step forward this year. Would cost a pretty penny.

Wonder what the plan is for Jones long-term. Assumed 3LD next year or offseason trade?

Analytics may theoretically work for baseball, but they turned the sport into an unwatchable mess. The NBA has been unwatchable for over 25 years, so I'm not sure what role analytics play there.

Analytics do suck ass for the product/watchability of baseball. 3 true outcomes bums being valuable, shifting, TB Rays, etc. But I don’t understand how they clash with exciting hockey. Hockey analytics pretty much exclusively favor fast skilled high IQ players in favor of plodding cones

I know you have your sources, but I would have to agree that the Rangers won't want to part with Laf now that he is really getting better every game, and with better luck would have even more points. At the same time, Ottawa likely wants nothing less. So chances are we will miss out on another Tkachuk and it will be unfortunate.

Rangers would probably offer Kakko, Chytil(cap and potential for his return), 1st and maybe Lindgren? Fun to think about. Would likely add a prospect too.

Also, I feel like he is a pretty strict LW. Last thing we need. Haha

 

[cheech70]

Now we know why Kaapo moved up to 1st line

 

[The Crypto Guy]

See, that gets my attention, a GM in attendance. Could care less about which low level scouts attend games.

 

[17futurecap]

Feels like the only 3 players he would be looking at would be Kakko, Rempe and Edstrom.

most hockey analytics are just descriptive at this moment and outside of maybe carolina I'm not sure they've been heavily used to influence how a team plays. Carolina might also just play that way because it's not necessarily a bad way to play.

 

[RGY]

Please god no. Do not trade Kakko for f***ing Henrique and/or Vatrano. Full stop.

 

[McRanger92]

Think about this…would you trade Lafreniere for Brady?

Not at this stage. Tkachukles is a bit of a selfish player imo. Evidenced by his fight with Mackey that sparked us a few weeks ago

 

[Machinehead]

f*** Brady

Kakko for Zegras tho? That intrigues me more in the summer but it does intrigue me

 

[duhmetreE]

No sale

I’m not giving up Laffy. He’s about as untouchable to me as can get

I’d give up Perrault. Major salary would need to move out, Trouba

If the idea is building a team that can win in the playoffs I see Laffy being pivotal long term. He’s been our best 5v5 guy next to Panarin

Hmm. Kaapo back on line 1 and Pat " the little ball of hate" flies in. That was his nickname right,

IMA speculating about this

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Kakko for vatrano and Henrique would be so abysmal.

Vatrano would become so hated in his second go around here.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Hard no for me right now, but definitely worth considering in the summer, depending on what the entire trade would look like.

[DanielBrassard]

If they trade Kakko for Vatrano that would be so aggravating.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Hopefully it’s for goodrow lol . This team is moronic if we trade young players for over the hill henrique and a one dimensional vatrano.

Yeah I just meant from a team building standpoint which is still going to have a huge influence on what kind of games you’re watching

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

It’s entirely possible that Columbus would want Zegras so it’s possible they’re being watched.

Rangers have had eyes everywhere

 

[Vitto79]

Quick dress Jones

 

[BBKers]

Frankie Vatrano: Pat don't trade me, please!
Pat Verbeek: I ain't gonna trade you.
Frankie Vatrano: Oh Christ, thank you! Thank you!
Pat Verbeek: [Pat looks at Asst, GM Rob DiMaio] DiMaio, trade that piece of shit!

It was always Frankie Vatrano
Interesting to see what the bounty will be…

That would so blow.
