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

[effen]

I'll 100% take Kane for a year or 2 as our prospects develop. Id rather sign him then take on some crappy contracts wondering if theyll work with the wonder twins.

The prospects are ready. It's a young man's world.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I think EF actually may have beaten me on this one. But we move

What did EF say?

 

[effen]

I just really need him to adopt "the word on the streets is" as a prelude, like that Ottawa insider with a nick name on twitter. Because everything sounds more credible if its coming from the streets.

I'm going to live in the world where this is the NYR twitter person and they get a heads up 5 minutes in advance.

Extremely short term insider with no one bitching at him here.

 

[Mac n Gs]

What did EF say?

It was the tweet about Goodrow being placed on waivers

 

[nyrob13]

What did EF say?

I think his Goodrow on waivers tweet was posted before my comment here.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Libor Hajek waves hi because he can't speak with a feeding tube (he is fine don't worry).

LOL remember when Laffy absolutely annihilated him in his rookie training camp?

I have not claimed to be an insider! Just bringing my people some fun.

Yeah to be fair I’m the one who branded you with this nickname.

Fun? On the internet?? Sir this is a serious messageboard for serious posters making serious fake trades and serious imaginary lineups.

Oh trust me .. I can contribute a great deal in that area.

Don't forget the incredibly serious HF Docs and their diagnoses

Oh there is nothing fun about this.

Who do you think is ready? Just curious. Othmann? Is he ready for big minutes on the 2nd line?

 

[Daves a mess]

And who take themselves VERY seriously.

 

[Synergy27]

Also, living costs? Oh please. Why not make a compromise to the cap where Winnipeg gets extra because the weather is shitty.

I mean, yeah, I’d be fine with that actually. I personally feel pretty bad for Canadians not in Toronto or Montreal who have to sit back and watch guys like Tkachuk and Gaudreau (etc. etc. etc.) just raise up and leave. These are the most intensely loyal fans in the league, probably the world, and they have no other options where they live.

I understand that no system will ever be perfectly equitable. But the whole purpose of the salary cap as I understand it is to level the playing field, and this league has absolutely not done that with this system.

How do I get @nyrob13 post notifications turned on?

 

[effen]

It's less any one guy than letting the gaggle of mid level guys compete and see what shakes out.

Othmann, Berard, Rempe (who knows!), Edstrom (who knows!), Brodz (random fill ins work all the time for short samples), Cuylle (most likely) is 6 guys for probably 3 spots. If they all brick out you can *always* find someone if you really want to.

 

[zlev]

it would be really cool if we ended up signing Guentzel after Carolina gave up all that stuff for him only to lose to us in the playoffs anyway

 

[Fitzy]

Some people will still be talking about Buchnevich on their deathbed

It's our own version of Montreal's McDonagh trade, so why wouldn't we?

It's one of the worst we've made since I've been a fan.

 

[MrAlmost]

Hello again friends.

My waiver senses are tingling.

 

[McRanger92]

It's our own version of Montreal's McDonagh trade, so why wouldn't we?

It's one of the worst we've made since I've been a fan.

Our own McDonagh trade was way way worse and negatively impacted us much more than Buch did. Im very over both, time to press onward.

The Rangers should consider grabbing Barclay Goodrow off waivers. Great playoff performer, competitive guy. Salary is a little high but I think with the news that Barclay Goodrow was waived today, he'll fit right in.

Honestly I'm not really interested in Barclay Goodrow. That being said I'm interested in bringing in that guy Barclay Goodrow. Thoughts?
