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

Ducks have a grit GM and want a top 4 D. Time to send someone packing

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Anaheim is a Landing spot for Lindgren

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

If Lindgren is staying, he's not moving down the lineup. We'll continue to staple him to Fox because this organization has no discipline whatsoever.

You have to ship him off just to save us from ourselves.

One day, maybe in the year 2087, NYR will have management that don’t just look at the final score being 1-0 loss and think “well the defenseman did their job!”

Trouba to Anaheim. Trick them into giving us a forward prospect.

If Trouba doesn't have them on his list, that's the spot. They have an abundance of LHD prospects and have Fowler. That isn't the spot for Lindgren. Not to mention they have tons of cap space

 

[MrAlmost]

Bringing in Lindgren, and maybe Kakko(totally my speculation cause Vegas wants players not picks), for Theodore and them sending out McNabb somewhere else, likely Utah, would still give them a good left side with Hanifin, Hague and Lindgren. It will save them money to be able to keep their forward group together and be able to go into the FA pool at RD which is stronger than LD. Of course, it's all speculation.

Edit: Damn. Forgot to quote again. Sorry @jay from jersey

I could see them being dumb enough to block their prospects with him

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Kreider's contract is a steal for us, I'm not willing to move him unless it's a huge upgrade. Sure he doesn't mow people over but find someone outside of Zack Hyman that can score from around the net like he does.

 

[NYR Viper]

Vegas is in a cap crunch.

I know we’ve sniffed around Brayden McNabb before. He’s got 1 year left at 2.8. Nic Hague is RFA but that price might be too steep for us.

Again I’ll ask, why pay the assets for these guys who Dillon is a UFA?

 

[NYR Viper]

The place for Lindgren is Utah. They have no defensemen at all and will be looking to provide a better product on the ice. Lindgren is the type of guy who will be around for a bit and will be a fan favorite. They have a million draft picks.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

He should bring back a decent return, too. We don't have a second rounder until like 2045, so . . .

 

[bobbop]

I think the odds of Lindgren being traded are much lower than Trouba being traded.

Much lower

nah thats where trouba is going

 

[rangers1314]

No I agree, but what if the price is prohibitive for him? It’s another option for a similar style player

I think the odds of Lindgren being traded are much lower than Trouba being traded.

Much lower

Do you have a sense of their ceiling for Lindgren?

 

[Hire Sather]

Yeah, but no, b'c those are the exceptions, not the rule.

I am not cherry picking anything.
It is there in print for all to see.
I called out yes Wennberg, no Rempe, etc etc etc
Did I get everything 111% correct? No.
But did I get it a lot more right than wrong, in real time, including before, not just be-atching about it after the fact? Yes.

Dressing Rempe was the problem. Coach didn't trust him and rightfully so.

It's not the reason we lost, but he shouldn't have played after the WSH series.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I don't know what Minnesota is trying to do or what their D situation looks like but could that be a landing spot for Lindgren?

If the Rangers really want to do right by him, sending him home would do that. What would they need to add to pry Brodin out of there?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Like 98% sure I just saw Kakko out on the street gang

 

[rangers1314]

Like 98% sure I just saw Kakko out on the street gang

He’s living on the streets already? Damn

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

I think the odds of Lindgren being traded are much lower than Trouba being traded.

Much lower

Right, but what are we gonna talk about?

 

[huerter]

Dressing Rempe was the problem. Coach didn't trust him and rightfully so.

It's not the reason we lost, but he shouldn't have played after the WSH series.

Dressing Milton, Diakite, Jeffries and Sims was a problem.

Dressing Jahmai Jones is a problem.

No trust. No adjustments.

 

[SA16]

I think the odds of Lindgren being traded are much lower than Trouba being traded.

Much lower

I think the odds of a player without a NTC and a contract that will be much less than 8M are much lower than the latter.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

I think the odds of Lindgren being traded are much lower than Trouba being traded.

Much lower

I’d be shocked if either gets moved. This team just voluntarily used them in the conference finals

 

[Tob]

The place for Lindgren is Utah. They have no defensemen at all and will be looking to provide a better product on the ice. Lindgren is the type of guy who will be around for a bit and will be a fan favorite. They have a million draft picks.

Problem is there are 31 teams or at least fan based trying to trade Utah their uncapfriendly player

 

[Levitate]

I think the odds of Lindgren being traded are much lower than Trouba being traded.

Much lower

I'm fine with Lindgren sticking around if it's on the 3rd pair and Trouba is gone.

but the Rangers have to f***ing stop running this team like a goddamn charity case. The goal is to win the goddamn cup not coddle Fox's feelings. You don't win by sticking a bad player with your best player because "they're friends" and "they have chemistry" and then you check the stats and the only thing keeping them barely adequate is your top playing dragging the rotting corpse of his friend around the ice

Get.Your.Shit.Together.

Win the cup, not play games trying to chase some chemistry that was barely there in the first place

e: I mean if Lindgren and Trouba are around then we're pretty much just running this shit back and hoping the puck bounces the Rangers way next year a little bit more.

I guess they could get wild and trade Miller instead but woooo boy if they go that route it's going to get even uglier.

 

[Levitate]

Yeah, I like the idea of finding a taker for Trouba (minimal assets coming back, maybe a second and spare picks, but no retention), giving Lindgren a short term deal and moving him down in the lineup, and then "helping" Vegas by taking Theodore off their hands.

Miller - Fox
Theodore - Skjei
Lindgren - Jones

Did Schneider get ol' yeller'd out behind the garden or something?
