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

[DialUp]

Nvm

I didn't catch it before you edited..What did I do? was i bad?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Wouldn’t hate someone who’s less hyped in the top 6, like Arvidsson. Or Teravainen

 

[Vitto79]

Assuming Guentzel, Reinhart, and Kane are off the board tomorrow if we are targeting a UFA forward for the top 6, I'd go after DeBrusk or Marchessault.

I fear DeBrusk would be more of the same not high end enough type.

But bringing JAM in could be a Trocheck type addition.

Arvidsson may cost less
Swede for Zib

I just said something to the effect that it would be wise to use the newfound store credit after returning a used Trouba to the Stop and Shop on something good

If a model says Erik Brannstrom is 98th percentile defensively the model is probably wrong. This happens all the time with random 3rd pairing guys who get easy roles.

What is he expecting salary wise? Because I know a team that needs a 3rd pairing guy

We already have Jones. No need for Brannstrom.

Here comes Dolan to save the day.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

That blows. Another year of Mika/Krieder being f***ing useless with whoever they put with them. Oh well.

Now we probably sign Toffoli

No clue. As a third pair guy he's fine. But these guys all the time will spit out nonsense model outputs like this and then argue a player is elite defensively.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

With Kane re-signing, welcome to Detriot Jacob Trouba! (My speculation)

 

[Boris Zubov]

Welcome to Detriot Jacob Trouba!

Do you know something? Or did Kane & Copp hop on a 3-way call with Tuba & decide they want to be BFFs?

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I’ve been thinking Arvidsson is the target for RW all along.

Kane smoke was most likely leaking from his side.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Nothing at all. The speculation out there that Kane re-signing would be a precursor to the Trouba trade.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Another story fed to Brooks not from Drury.

 

[jay from jersey]

Any word on who we’re targeting with all the cap if Trouba goes? Maybe Matt Roy but that’s a big commitment.

I think walker imo. He’ll be cheaper. Schneider has cemented himself into the 2nd pair this season going forward.
Walker shouldn’t be looking for a massive deal and is a solid 2-way D.
29 years old….
If they miss on him, they may target the bargain bin

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Guenztel is/was their top target. He was their top choice at the deadline and fell short trying to trade for him.

It’s why Drury was trying to get the Trouba thing done before tomorrow. So they knew how much space they had to play with to offer him a deal

really worried Drury has no balls in this crucial period of our franchise development. He is either pissed about the Trouba drama and does something wild tonight/tomorrow or he sulks and signs players that will never move the needle to ridiculous contracts in the hopes he hits a bullseye.

Oh no Mika and Kreider are unhappy

Good, these losers can pack their bags too.

Literally no care for how they feel about it. If you are overpaid and underperform, you are first on the chopping block, and thats not just in sports, thats in any profession, anywhere, anytime. Thats business. Drury has done nothing wrong. I personally love the way Goody plays and Trouba has left some incredible, fond memories. That's all very nice and I appreciate it but looking forward, we dont have room to carry overpaid players who do nothing. Sorry if it's harsh, this is business.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Trouba needs a reality check. He has a bloated, horrendous contract that he hasn't played up to...or even close to. He's been a liability from the get-go.

It's not his fault that he cashed in, but he can't be surprised that we're trying to move on from him.
