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

[UAGoalieGuy]

Looks like Hayton wasn't qualified by Utah.

I am more confident in Edstrom being a decent 4C than Chytil playing more than 40 games next year.

Both of them scare the hell out of me for a team that’s supposed to be a contender

I hear you but at some point we are gonna have to trust some of our Hartford prospects to fill bottom 6 roles. I still think Edstrom and Berard would be very good fits for this team next year and hopefully beyond.

Sign please

Reunite Lafreniere and Hayton

I am not completely disinterested in Stamkos but he seems like the kind of guy who is likely to take that retirement contract in NY and then only be a shadow of his former self. For the term it will require I don’t think it’s smart.

I’m not sure there is a free agent solution for this team this year. One year deals are probably the wisest. Look for trades for young future centerpieces you can buy low on.

If you look at Stamkos’s ES vs PP splits it’s almost exactly like Zib. Hes a PP merchant who’s seen a major decline at ES. I’d rather go the discount route and look at Skinner who is much more productive at 5v5 and has more of a skill set we need.

Just get Ehlers please.

Yes he was

Love Ehlers but why do I have a bad feeling he turns into a ghost in the playoffs.

Ehlers is one of those guys that could explode w/ top PP time. He’s already an extremely efficient player at ES, but hasn’t been given much exposure on PP1. The big concern with him though is injury risk.

 

[NJRangers35]

this is hilarious to me after what the post reported. he had unfinished business, he was the apple of the rangers eye, he wanted to return to new york, it was going to take 3 years and 4-5m to get it one. and this is the contract he got to stay in detroit.

absolutely concerned that this is the player drury pegged to get them over the hump, but thank god a bullet was dodged.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yeah f*** that noise.

Arvidsson will be cheaper and is better.

 

[JimmyG89]

Hope they circle to Vaakaneinen as a potential option to fill the 3LD role with Jones. He wasn't qualified by the Ducks, but he did well in a 3rd pairing role for them. Still young as well and we don't really have competition on the left side internally unless they really want to give Robertson a chance.

Arvidsson is coming for one year? If so sign me up

 

[Kords]

I was hoping for a Kane bargain bin deal after all that “unfinished, I was injured” noise. Now I wish all the worst for him and them. Hope they miss the playoffs and his career is done this time next year.

 

[Kravtsov420]

So what’s the deal now, we’re gonna have to wait for the Trouba situation to unfold before we start going for another option? Not good.

Honestly it sounded like that was coming from Brisson.

It may have worked. Thats a ton of money for Kane basically guaranteed. I'm sure they'll gladly fork over the extra if they make the playoffs but he alone won't be enough.

So what’s the deal now, we’re gonna have to wait for the Trouba situation to unfold before we start going for another option? Not good.

Nah they can operate as if he isn't here and figure that shit out later.

There will be some clarity on that end tomorrow I'd think.

We can go 10% over the cap in the summer. If Drury targets a guy, he can make a deal & unravel the Trouba situation later.

“Jacob, we’re sorry to hear about the arthritis in your hand from all of those amazing paintings you’ve been doing. So that’s why we’re gonna put you on LTIR all season.”

That's a shitty outcome for us. Sure we can use his money for other players, but we can't accrue cap space for the TDL with him on LTIR all year. Send his ass to Siberia for all we care, but get him off the books.

 

[haohmaru]

I’d be having a temper tantrum if the Rangers signed Kane to that deal. Holey Moley. Thank you Detroit!

what an emotional roller coaster.

I'd still send Lindgren there for him

I removed my like from @Paulie Walnutz 's post after reading this. It's good to have knowledgeable posters to help us make better, informed post-liking decisions.

We need his speed badly.
