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

[Vitto79]

Would they?

I mean like, literally yes, but these are easy players to replace.

Reality is they won’t change the core

They need a RW for Zib/Kreider

If they can move Goodrow or Trouba for cap space sure but worst case 2 yr bridge Schneider then Trouba goes

Down the middle is set if Chytil is healthy
Trading Zib is not happening

The pet project is over!

You get another winger for the Panarin-Zibs line.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

If it’s north of 10M, or anywhere near there, I’m out. Contracts like that for goalies kill the team.

Agreed. It's gonna happen though. Groundhog Day.

 

[zlev]

I wanna put Jones with Matt Roy and make that a thing.

Miller-Fox
Jones-Roy
Gus-Schneider?

that would be fine and very doable (as long as we can dump Trouba)

 

[JimmyG89]

If we are going that route and I don't think they will, Igor should be traded this summer.

You have a goalie the whole league would be trying to get. I don't even know what kind of goalie trade you could compare it to. The
Flames wanted a 1st for Markstrom. Igor is significantly better.

Drury is going to re-sign him. It will probably be at 11M per season. The cap will also be ~100M by then.

Yea but Panarin scored the most goals he has ever with Tro.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I still wouldn't give Igor his next contract.

If it’s true the agent is looking at 12M per season I say thank you Igor for all the great play and carrying this sorry ass team to the eastern conference finals twice, but we cant afford to allocate so much to the goaltending position. And get as big a haul as you possibly can for him.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

So did Laf, and he didn't have PP time.

 

[Svenhart2008]

Igor is looking for 12.5? Wow

Igor at the deadline would be interesting because he really could put a team over the top as a rental and no real caphit issues.

Hank's last 2 contracts with us were just over 13% of the cap each time. For $87.7m that would put Igor at $11.4m which is quite the price tag if he is looking for similar.

 

[Vitto79]

I think everyone’s jumping the gun

Just run it back and add a few different pieces

It’s a good team that needs to get better 5 on 5

A full year of Cytil can add a scoring 3rd line

 

[DanielBrassard]

There is zero chance that giving Igor 11-12M is a good idea. They can’t even put a competent team in front of him with his cap hit half of that. And yeah Bob is at 10M but we don’t have all the bargain contracts Florida does, and the tax differences.

 

[haveandare]

If you're doing it right, you don't need a goalie like that.

In general yea, but it’s not that easy to just grab a middling goalie who isn’t going shit the bed when it matters most. I’d rather have Igor and know goalie isn’t a concern in big moments

 

[Machinehead]

It is that easy. There's yet another guy in the Final that shouldn't be an NHL starter like there is every year.

 

[Siddi]

Kreider would be the last guy I would trade despite some complain about him. He better retire a Ranger. Mika and Panarin can disappear. Need more North American tougher players. Not more soft finesse Euro. Go back home

Xenophobe much?

 

[bleedblue94]

Based on what people are telling me he is, it's not unfair.

He's being propped up as a culture-changing player.

Brady is going to be a better player when he isn't supposed to be the main player. Matthew went through that as well when he moved to Florida. Brady can be a leader on a team with the C on someone else's jersey, and a lot of ottawa's issues are based on goaltending which is something he cannot fix.

For ottawa, there really is no win by trading Brady because then they would want another Brady, but the issue is they put the C on his chest way too soon and he forces everything and thinks he needs to act a certain way to drag his mates along with him

If the Rangers can buy out Hank they can buy out f***ing Trouba.

Like I said, it's not impossible. It's complicated

Happened with Wheeler last year

Very different situation in Winnipeg. Very. There was a public fight w the coach

We traded our captain in 2014 right before the best three months of Rangers hockey I've ever watched in my life.

Bc he wouldn't resign. Completely different then trading one that's signed

 

[huerter]

Igor is looking for 12.5? Wow

Discount. He’s supposed to get us a cup, no questions asked. Give him 20% and apologize you aren’t permitted to go higher.

 

[Machinehead]

The point stands that it didn't hurt the team at all.

 

[17futurecap]

Igor deserves to make every last dollar, but not going to feel bad for him when he does sad face after every playoff elimination once he signs a huge contract.

 

[Tob]

It would be transcendental general managing if Drury runs with Igor asking for $12.5M, McDavid money and use that as justification to trading Igor for a haul and rebuilding the team on D and in C. Move Trouba, promote jones, keep Kreider, move Lindgren for a small return, trade 1st next year plus Othman for a nice D man. make life as terrible for zibanejad as possible.

 

[Machinehead]

Also, once again, this is the only sport where I worry about my billionaire ass team spending money. The NHL's cap system can expeditiously go f*** itself.

 

[bleedblue94]

When did I say it hurts the team?

 

[Machinehead]

Then what's even the point
