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

[mas0764]

I’d just put him on wiavers if he refuses to waive his ntc. Obviously it wouldn’t be ideal since unless a team claimed him it would make it tough to add a UFA but still.

He’s been told he’s not wanted. He can make it tough on us… and we can make it tough on him.

f***ing drama

 

[NYR Viper]

Stamkos would be a very interesting add particularly because he can play both C & RW. There is a still a massive question mark next to Chytil's name at 3C and if he goes down at any point in the season Lavi can just pivot to Stamkos and move him to the middle.

He’s mainly a RW at this point

“A league source indicated Trouba may not be inclined.”

That means nothing.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

is Drury fired yet?

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

First Goodrow not wanting to help the Rangers, and now Trouba lol

 

[Tob]

Players getting too comfortable with the team catering to it's stars. Good for the culture to shake them up.

He won’t be a Ranger next year. He’s either getting traded, waived and picked up, or bought out.

Getting to step 2 of the above is a major risk for Trouba. So he might as well get it over with via step 1.

Uh oh

Assuming that Detroit is not on his no trade list, as of 12:01 am July 1st his feelings don’t mean a thing

 

[AirGut]

Trouba is probably pissed off even more than Goodrow. Hope that sends a clear message to Zibanejad through all that hair of his too. No more country club and nobody will ever be safe, no matter what the Rangers will always find a way to get out of contract pickles

 

[Crease]

Goodrow and Trouba.

I give Drury shit from time to time but he’s identifying the issues.

Don’t care if you try hard and volunteer at the Children’s Hospital, you’re slow and overpaid.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

Goodrow and Trouba.

I give Drury shit from time to time but he’s identifying the issues.

There’s still one more after them, but admittedly it’s a much, much more complicated problem to fix.

Yup. By trading the guys that you could argue aren't the issue...

Goodrow and Trouba are absolutely issues. Can’t build a proper team when your 4C and 6D consume 1/7th of the team’s cap space.

 

[Fitzy]

You work with what you can. There’s nothing we can do with Mika and Panarin for now. They’ve got another chance to show their quality when it matters

 

[irishlaxburger2]

Signing out-sized contracts is a double edged sword. Sure, you get paid a ton. But if you don’t live up to it, you need to realize the organization is going to want to ship you off quickly. It’s how the business works.

Panarin Tro Laffy
Cuylle Zibs Stamkos
Kreider Chytil Kakko
Vesey Edstrom Rempe | Berard

KAM Fox
Theo Roy
Lindgren/Jones Schneider

PP1- Kreider Stamkos Laffy Panarin Fox
PP2- Kakko Zibs Trocheck Chytil Theo

Purposefully split Kreider and Zibs

Sadly the real issues like disappearing acts in the playoffs from Mika and Panarin, their contracts make them both unmoveable. Sadly stuck with them. Kreider they can move but for his inconsistent play at times, he is cheaper and scores playoff goals. He is worth keeping although I'm sure they'd get more for Kreider, than Mika and Panarin if both were able to he traded. Kreider has the move trade value in my opinion but I wouldn't trade him unless a team really overpaid and thought he was the missing piece

 

[duhmetreE]

He’s mainly a RW at this point

He has Point and Cirelli at Center. He still takes a ton of faceoffs. He can fill in if needed

he still has some juice left. I thought he was Tampa's best player in the playoffs.... although it was his contract year

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

They can't sign Shesh to $13M aav. That would just be insane.

 

[DanielBrassard]

If Shesterkin is really going to push for almost 13M he’s got to go. I don’t really care, spending that much on a goalie is f***ing absurd. Even if you get it down to 11.5-12 it is going to hamstring the rest of the lineup.

Panarin Tro Laffy
Cuylle Zibs Stamkos
Kreider Chytil Kakko

Rangers aren’t signing guys with term, so forget about Matt Roy. Also playing Stamkos with two guys who can’t pass the puck or drive play is just a complete waste of time. If you did sign him he would have to play with Panarin, it’s the only combination that makes sense.

 

[NikC]

Goodrow had a decent playoffs this year. he's a good player, but not at that price point.
80g and 4 goals? really? He just one of those 'products of his environment" type of players.
He wasn't as effective in NY as he was with Tampa.

Trouba has been a trainwreck for quite a while. i'm not sure how anyone can defend him at $8m on any level. playing with a broken foot? costing them playoff games?

you're making $8m dude, can you at least make a good play? score a goal? hit someone hard?

Igor wants 13 a year. Insane. Get your head examined

Did the news of the Saros extension not make it onto the Russian state television?
