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

[bernmeister]

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.

still not good enough going forward, and its a big assumption KK would be enough in seller's market

Maybe I’m not one to talk but whatever happened to acting like an adult when your name and profession are attached? These two deserve each other as far as I’m concerned

 

[RangersFan1994]

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

Rangers offer Kakko and 1st. Get this done Drury. Farabee brings grit and physical p;lay in his game. Good complete player

 

[bernmeister]

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.

yeah but Zeg is big enuf

hell no
KK better and stop giving away picks

 

[LOFIN]

We short circuited our rebuild betting on talent (Panarin) and look at what's happened.....we should stay FAR away from Panarin Lite at all costs.

I mean this team has played in two ECF in the last 3 years. They did some things right.

Like I said, I don't care if they get Zegras. My main focus is on the D-corps of this team.

Kakko is not better than Farabee.

What do we add for Philly to throw in Konecny too

Miller?

 

[LOFIN]

Flyers are about to bring in Mitchkov, why would they trade away big pieces now? Farabee is under term for a decent deal.

 

[NYR Viper]

Philly is going to get scraps for Farabee. He’s on the outs and has term on his deal. I don’t think that many teams will be lining up to pay him $5m a year as a ‘maybe’.

Drury should be in on this. He is the type of player they need and in the perfect age. Get it done.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Disappointing there is almost nothing out there about the defense…either Drury is playing it super tight (quite possible) or it’s truly not even a consideration

 

[rangers1314]

Sounds like Todd McLellan to CBJ, per Buccigros

 

[Tob]

Look at all of you falling for all this misdirection.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

And if Igor gets $13M I might change my username to @SnowblindNYR2.0

original post Brooks made stated

Jere-Me Roenick and neither Alexander Mogilny nor Patrik Elias? Members of the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee should resign in disgrace.

which is kinda unprofessional to call out people in this manner.

Kakko would get destroyed by Torts.

yep. Torts not a fan of Farabee either apparently.

I mean the Goodrow waivers thing and Kakko re-signing came kinda out of nowhere. Drury seems to keep tight lips, which is fine by me.

 

[mike14]

I’m assuming you are giving % of cap hits at the time these contracts were signed, yes?

Sorry, stupid time zones...

Yes, those percentages were at time of signing. Although it doesn't change much if you do the % on the year they won the cup, Crawford and Quick are the two biggest movers and they drop by about 0.6%, Fluery and Holtby at 0.5% are next

yeah but when has Brooks ever acted professionally?

Is there anything out there about anyone?

Some of the usual people attaching the rangers to names for clicks but haven’t heard anything substantial at all on anything other than Kakko.

I mean even the Kakko extension came out of nowhere. What it tells me is that Drury runs a tight ship, and all the info the insiders/reporters get out of Rangers is via other teams.

They’ll likely send him out west.
I can’t see the flyers do us any favors dealing farabee to us so he can be a giant pain in their ass the next 4 years in division games….
I do like his style of play and contract.

TBH both him and Zergas are interesting target…. Zergas knows his offense. Putting up 60 pts as a 22yr old is solid….
Put him in the right environment with a veteran winning team( like NYR) apparently where he would like to be near home and he might surprise some people….
Thing is, we might not see his best hockey til he’s 25-26……

I like Zibby-Zergas-tro better then Zibby-Tro-chytil…..

He’s def in the boom or bust basket…… probably don’t get a chance to trade for him at the current price he is now if he has a healthy productive season……
Might be worth the gamble.
We need talented centers. And he’s under 25.

I really have no clue what the plan is going to be for the roster. I’m sure he’ll try and grab at least 1 FWD and 1 D from the bargain bin, like last season…. But he could make 1 or 2 large trades early as the draft this season….
I rather avoid a second showing of Kane unless he’s dirt cheap…..
What zergas/kane have me cautious about is their injuries… we already have Fragile Fil on the books..

I wonder what Frederic would cost to get him outta Boston…..
Edstrom-Frederic-Rempe/vesey could be a fun 4th line

Electric boogaloo?

 

[Synergy27]

Farabee seems like a perfect Torts player. I wonder what’s really going on there.

Also, my phone just now tried to autocorrect Farabee to Garbage. I’ve always liked the kid but perhaps this is a sign.
