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

[effen]

Then why is Laviolette still employed?

Nudes.

 

[LOFIN]

Kadri would be the ultimate Lou move.

If he goes anywhere, it’ll be there IMO.

Toronto is what makes the most sense

 

[rangers1314]

Boston should be in on Kadri

 

[IDvsEGO]

Then why is Laviolette still employed?

Im sorry Lavi is a mistake?
The coach that took us to the ecf, got Laf to be a rising star instead of a potential bust, and maximized a roster which included Igor playing bad for the first half AND missing Fox for a month and still won the presidents trophy

 

[LOFIN]

Boston should be in on Kadri

They probably would, but I have a hard time seeing him waive there.

 

[Good Intentions]

Id take Guentzel at 8 over Panarin at 11.6.

I get it, but no. I hate Guentzel and do not want him here, period.

 

[NYR Viper]

To put it in perspective, here are a couple of guys who are projected to make around what Kakko is making per AFP:

Kasperi Kapanen - 2 years @ $2.4m

Sam Lafferty - 2 years @ $2.4m

Jordan Martinook - 3 years @ $2.7m

Taylor Raddysh - 2 years @ $2.3m

Jack Roslovic - 3 years @ $3m

Yakov Trenin - 3 years @ $2.6m

I wouldn't say Kakko @ $2.4m is a bad deal at all, considering he is one year removed from 32 ES points

He didn’t “get us” anywhere, he’s no different than Gallant who also “got us” to the ECF.

Guentzel 8 years hell no
I guess some will never learn

 

[kovazub94]

Let’s go Brandon!

 

[Filip Chytil]

 

[Levitate]

Reinhart scored the most important goal in Panthers history in game 7, after scoring 57 goals in the regular season.

9.5 cap hit.

Panarin's cap hit is 11.6... where are the rings and big playoff goals? 1 goal 2 years ago against PIT in the 1st round doesn't cut it.

who cares? what's the point of posting this? you're just yelling into the void, not contributing anything

you got a solution? trade panarin, sign reinhart? force panarin to be a better playoff performer? reinhart wasn't even "that good" in the playoffs, 16 points in 24 games.

don't just vomit your random thoughts onto the message board, try to have a filter and at least contribute somethign to those thoughts

 

[NYR Viper]

Chris Drury was the 2021 IIHF Men’s World Championship GM for Team USA. On that roster? Matt Roy

 

[DanielBrassard]

Must be signing Pesce then if they are trading Marino. Honestly if he wasn’t on NJ he’d be a good option to replace Trouba.

 

[Gardner McKay]

He didn’t “get us” anywhere, he’s no different than Gallant who also “got us” to the ECF.

Given what he had to work with, I think we should consider him for sainthood.

 

[Filip Chytil]

As I reported before, Nashville has interest in Stamkos if he does. My colleague Chris Johnston has speculated that the Detroit Red Wings are another potential option. There would be several suitors, of course, for a 40-goal scorer and a character leader like Stamkos.
I wonder if the Vegas Golden Knights would come calling if they can’t re-sign Jonathan Marchessault?

On Kane:

So discussions are ongoing with Monday’s market opening looming. Kane’s preference, I believe, would be to stay in the Eastern Conference if he moves on.

 

[Boris Zubov]

He didn’t “get us” anywhere, he’s no different than Gallant who also “got us” to the ECF.

Lavi did a lot of good things during the year, but he did not have a great post season, that's for certain.

 

[will1066]

I don't want to see Kane and Stamkos's names anymore.

 

[kovazub94]

I get it, but no. I hate Guentzel and do not want him here, period.

That’s also besides the fact that it would take $9m from the Rangers on a 7 year contract while Panarin has only 2 years left on his. Wake me up when Guentzel hits 90 points for the first time (now without Sid) which Panarin did 4 times for the Rangers.

 

[Daves a mess]

mika's already signed for a long time no need to extend him!

Lock him for 8 more now! Picture Mika with a hatrick in 2032 on Jonathan Quicks son.

Florida should only give Reinhart that deal if he stops with the twitching. And for the love of god, Pidto stops with the REIIIIIINHART next season.

Lol. That's the only think Pedo does that I enjoy.

I need to get a life.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

I don't want to see Kane and Stamkos's names anymore.

Why not? They're the most talented options available that will actually take a 2 year deal, which is basically a prerequisite.

 

[Daves a mess]

Yeah, but we have Ben Harpur with a healed boobie.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Lavi did a lot of good things during the year, but he did not have a great post season, that's for certain.

I like him as a guy (just as I did Quinn and Gallant) but as far as his coaching abilities, he’s left a lot to be desired so far

Why not? They're the most talented options available that will actually take a 2 year deal, which is basically a prerequisite.

Because we don’t need a top 6 winger.

We need to revamp our defense and our bottom 6

 

[Levitate]

Lavi did a lot of good things during the year, but he did not have a great post season, that's for certain.

I think he did about as good as he could with the roster he has

One of the big reasons Gallant was let go is he clashed with Drury and some players said they wanted more actual coaching and guidance

Getting to the ECF is a pretty good post season regardless

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Given what he had to work with, I think we should consider him for sainthood.

Gallant?
