Roster Building thread - Part X - (TDL edition)

[NYR Viper]

Yes, I'd prefer Goodrow on a wing with Brodzinski centering 4th line.

I don't disagree with this, but are we then okay pushing Edstrom back to the AHL? Same with Rempe?

 

[bobbop]

Would you trade Kakko straight up for Tuch?

Yes

 

[effen]

Yes

I too would trade a quarter for a dollar.

 

[KennyWu]

I'd carry Othmann on my back to Buffalo for Tuch

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I don't see Rempe playing many playoff games this year, Edstrom maybe but that might even be a stretch. Not saying i like it but its just what i see happening.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Why the hell is this year's trade deadline so late? March 8th seems crazy late. And we only have one game this week (tonight) before the TDL so the next few days are going to feel so long.

Hoping for some league wide movement to happen ASAP and things to happen all week instead of just morning of the deadline.

I'd like to see Drury get his business done tomorrow on what is sure to be an off day for the team and that gives the acquired player(s) W/Th/F before our next game on Saturday.

 

[Synergy27]

Man, Tuch rumors eh? My favorite non Rangers NHLer.

I back up the Brinks truck for him.

I don't entirely disagree, I'm just calling it out. I've mentioned this before but one of the major bonuses if Rempe and Edstrom proving they can play in the NHL is that Drury can safely send them back down to the AHL and not need to carry a 13th forward for the remainder of the year. That will create more cap space for the team.

If we look at the LTIR space + sending Belzile, Rempe and Edstrom down to carry only 12 forward, we are left with $6.825M in cap space for the deadline. That's with keeping Jones around as the 7th defenseman. No need to carry a forward on the roster when your first call-ups aren't eligible for waivers.

Would have been excellent if the rangers could have gotten a deal done for tuch, but there's no way Buffalo would trade him, and trade him here.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

IF Tuch was available, which he more than likely is not, it would be insane not to trade Kakk and/Othmann for him.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Buffalo obviously needs a haul for Tuch. They don’t need to trade him. He’s on a great salary for 2 season after this one and he’s right in his prime. He would be expensive. Great player though, if Drury could work some magic and get a fair deal.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Friedman threw a lot of names out there but no substance so he has no idea. Blackwell? Rooney? Yea ok.

Yeah for a second there I was like is this from 2 years ago? lol

I thought Rooney was done after his injury but he climbed back, nice little write up about him. May need to put a pin in this if theres any truth to a possible reunion. But judging how he finished out his time with the Rangers, hes was pretty ineffective and not much better than Goodrow.

Rooney's path back to the NHL might not have been easy - but it sure was rewarding

[AirGut]

Buffalo never wants to deal with the Rangers simply because they're the Rangers. The FO in BUF can't handle the idea of a player going to NY and winning a cup or doing good, it's one of the main reasons an Eichel trade could never work out

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I guess i'm missing the big hype about Tuch. Certainly wouldn't be trading Kakko and Othmann for him. Seems insane. Had a good year last season, this season he is on pace for 60 points. If we was 22 maybe i'd be excited, not a guy turning 28.

He’s also ugly.

Don’t want him .

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I suspect Drury was just checking on Tuch and that nothing will come of it. As it’s been said, Buffalo has no reason to trade him.

Okposo seems more likely from Buffalo if you’re asking me to give a name

 

[New York RKY]

He’s also ugly.

Don’t want him .

I heard he also puts the toilet paper roll under not over.

I think its more the entire Buffalo team has taken a step back, with Thompson being a big reason for that. They have no PPG players.

You put him on a line with Kreider and man that's going to be a tough line to play against.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I'd take Blackwell back, he'd be a great fit with Panarin.

 

[17futurecap]

Wennberg being held out of Seattle lineup.

 

[Profet]

It's pretty crazy how many teams talk about Rempe before they play the Rangers.

That can't be a bad thing. Maybe they'll spend less time talking about how to break our offense by just pushing slightly suggesting everyone to the outside in the o-zone

 

[RangerBoy]

Wennberg being held out of Seattle lineup.

EF reported Seattle wants to keep Eberle who is nearing 1,000 games and Seattle wants Eberle to play his 1,000th game as a Kraken. Even if the Kraken haven't signed to an extension by Friday, they would keep him beyond the deadline because they believe Eberle will sign in Seattle.

[UAGoalieGuy]

Tuch and Wennberg! Get it done lol (Kakko traded as part of the Tuch trade)

Kreider - Zib - Tuch
Panarin - Trocheck - Laff
Cuylle - Wennberg - Vesey
Goodrow - Brodz - Edstrom

 

[DanielBrassard]

Wouldn't be surprised if he's moved here
