Roster Building Thread - Part XI (Off-season edition)

[Clark Kellogg]

Why?

Here’s a headline from The Mercury News. It’s behind a paywall:

Goodrow likely still getting over ‘shock’ and ‘disappointment’ of Rangers’ move, Sharks’ Grier says​

last week called

Dial-up connection, don’t knock

 

[bernmeister]

I wouldn't do that if I was cbj

wouldn't do that if I was Rs

I meant just Mikkola signed and Lindy traded

Not an 11 player, franchise kinda move.

1. still counts, evidences I called it ahead of the curve
2. sometimes tweaks are fine. sometimes its go big or go home

Walman getting traded with a 2nd and a 3.4M contract for literally nothing and we're supposed to believe there's an actual market out there willing to give up quality for Trouba at 8M lol

Trouba at full pop and quality back is pushing it, REALLY

but I've been pushing retain 1.5 = JT at 6.5 add a 3rd get 2 2nds back
THAT is smartest move, cap relief + futures, stop win now on likely a questionable vet

I love seeing stuff like this and remembering the Red Wings comically collapsed out of the playoff race. "Cut the hubris!" - Stevie Y

Trouba and the 30th OA (0% Retained) for Justin Holl will change lives.

NO, stop giving away picks
stop
see above

Rutger McGroaty is apparently not going to sign in Winnipeg this summer because the team wont guarantee him an NHL spot. I wonder what the Rangers think of him.

Sounds like he is available.

2024 1st + a medium throw in
they half-ish recover 1st on a 14OA with a late pick
and get like a Sykora for now

no on moving KK etc

 

[GAGLine]

Rangers really can't afford to take on a contract like Copp with the Igor, Laf, and Miller extensions plus whoever might be added this off-season.

Copp has an extra year over Trouba, but his buyout is cheaper for 2025-26. $1,562,500 vs 4 mil.

Holl only has 2 years left and his buyout number is $1,133,334

 

[RangersFan1994]

Trouba for Copp

I’d do it

 

[DanielBrassard]

Copp has an extra year over Trouba, but his buyout is cheaper for 2025-26. $1,562,500 vs 4 mil.

Holl only has 2 years left and his buyout number is $1,133,334

Fair point but I think I'd rather just hold onto Trouba rather than make that move. Holl as a cap dump maybe makes sense because he could be the 3rd pairing guy and then a buyout after.

 

[rangers1314]

So Colin Campbell and David Poile are in the hall of fame and Alexander Mogilny is not?

That checks out

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I’m waiting for the shoe to drop on what Drury is going to give Grier at some point for taking Goodrow

No way that San Jose charges Detroit a 2nd to take a better player at a similar salary without something coming

I mean I guess it's possible that Grier really actually wanted Goodrow and knew that he could not get him unless it was a waiver claim (because Goodrow would not sign there after a buyout), and that Yzerman was reeeeally desperate to shed some money for a big splash already in the works, but it will be interesting to see what happens.

 

[McRanger92]

Guentzel market is large. Good player but I hope the Rangers steer clear now. No reason to overpay

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Guentzel market is large. Good player but I hope the Rangers steer clear now. No reason to overpay

Yeah, same with Reinhart. If Guentzel's market is this large, Reinhart's will likely be 10x more.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I’d rather have Reinhart , but he’s gonna get like 10mil

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Sam Reinhart is going to ride a 25% shooting percentage to a contract that is going to be 3-4 million more than he should be making.

Guentzel is a better player.

 

[surlysailor]

This could be interesting an interesting add. No idea what his value would be after his most productive season.

[Kupo]

Trouba for Copp

Copp was ass last season. He’s really lost a step.

Time to finally right the wrongs of 2018

"Zegras wants to play for the Rangers. He prefers them over any other destination. He trains with Kreider every summer."
Per Arthur Staple & Peter Baugh today

Guentzel is a better player.

Rangers beat the Panthers if they trade Kakko for Guentzel at the deadline. They still would’ve been wildly outplayed but Igor only needed a couple more goals to steal that series.

Better player and a better fit. Can’t afford him though without massive moves, and we’ll hate the back end of that contract.

Pack your shit up Jovo, you’ve been shipped to Michigan. You were warned yesterday.

BONER

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The hate Zegras would receive from this fan base would make what Trouba and Zibanejad get look like they were Leetch and Messier in comparison.

Better option than Kane? Yeah.

A good option? No. Another one dimensional perimeter player who does flashy shit for the f*** of it.

I don't think they do.

Guentzel wasn't going to help them get the puck up ice. He would have likely been playing out of position on RW with Kreider and Zibanejad and they got locked the f*** up.

 

[AirGut]

no to Farabee and no to dealing with the Flyers. That organization could end up being a real thorn in the ass in the future and I don't want to see us give them any potential ammo.

Can someone explain to me in simple terms, ideally like im a 5 year old from a continent that isnt Nth America, what Dolan owning the Sphere has to do with anything?
The venue is already hosting the draft and all hockey interested eyes will be watching already. How does NYR doing anything on the day/night change any of that?

 

[Crease]

Media two weeks ago: Rangers need to be bigger and tougher in the playoffs.

Media today: Kane and Zegras want to be Rangers, should be a good fit.

Dolan will threaten to blow up the sphere if the NHL doesn’t award the 1st overall pick to the NYR
