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

[SnowblindNYR]

I genuinely hate Rags...i always got a laugh out of Rongos when the team goes Full Rong

Yes but in 2024 on hfboards rags is usually not used with malice unlike rongos.

Guess it's all how you see it. Rongos, I have clown music going in my head. Rags, is exactly what those Swamp Thing offspring meant it to be

 

[pld459666]

Well by your first statement I know this is a lost cause.

But it doesn’t matter what Kravstov is now, Drury handled the situation wrong and it ended up with the team turning a top 10 pick into a f***ing 7th round pick

He was always going to be a 7th round pick.

He sucks....das-it

Drury hates Russians

 

[EpicDing]

You're an Islanders fan when you call them Rongos.

And you hate fun it seems. Pretty sure rongos started here anyway

 

[TominNC]

They're the rongos when they do dumb shit

You’re dead to me

 

[AirGut]

Drury hates Russians

Noticed that immediately when he became GM. It pisses me off and it's pure f***ing Rangers luck that the years where we no longer have Bobrov/Gorton/Clarke running drafts there are two Russian studs picked in Michkov & Demidov. The one year we go to take a Russian it ends up being Vitali Krapsoft

Don’t want to see either on our board. But then I’m not much for dumb nicknames anyway

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

I really hope Drury isn't our Sather, but i don't think Dolan cares enough to make a switch unless things really go south.

 

[Charlie Conway]

We'll probably get Kevin Labanc on a league minimum deal. Wonder where Zadina or Yamamoto end up.

Gotta assume Berard and Othmann will have high expectations in camp, and, depending upon how Kakko starts the season, that will decide his fate.

Not an exciting offseason, but I can't see a whole lot else happening with Trouba tied up and then a whole of guys needing new deals this year and next.

 

[aufheben]

So what’s happening with Trouba?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

So what’s happening with Trouba?

Nothing. He played the baby card.

 

[haohmaru]

Love fun. Hate derogatory nicknames for a team you’re supposedly a fan of. Never found it humorous whatsoever.

And it’s funny, too, because championship drought aside the Rangers have probably made the playoffs more than any other NY Metro team over the last 20 years. They’re hardly terrible.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Nothing. He played the baby card.

 

[rangers1314]

First year full NTC. 2nd year 8 team trade list.

Me too!
In particular the way he ran Panarin and Shesty out of town was disgraceful

 

[haohmaru]

First year full NTC. 2nd year 8 team trade list.

I’m glad we passed. That ship has sailed and, like everything else this deadline, too much $.

 

[bl02]

That Trouba money being spent by Detroit. He ain't going nowhere.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

I like the Smith move more.

 

[AirGut]

Me too!

careful with the words you put out into this universe Mike,
Incoming Drury firing both of them into the sun while saluting the American flag

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Trouba better be Captain America meets Nik Lidstrom to start the year otherwise it’s gonna get ugly fast. If he starts getting beat or goes for hits and misses or takes dumb penalties he’s gonna hear the booing

 

[Fitzy]

I like the Smith move more.

The Smith move is effectively a pre-emptive rental.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

lol he’ll take a bag penalty gam 1. Just the level of player he is now

 

[bernmeister]

If a kid breaks into the lineup, trade kakko for a pick. They have other plays the could use to recoup picks if this season goes sideways But is it out of the realm of possibility that Miller removes his head from his ass or Jones turns into the kind of player so many posters here are certain he is? I’m not saying they’re perfect or have no holes to fill. Very few teams have that luxury But they’re not as bad people are acting.

sign Kylington.


I'd go for a culture shift with a guy that could grab it by the balls... Get me Sloth Tkachuk. Perreault, Kakko and a 1st? is that enough for Ottawa? Trouba gone next offseason, if his wife allows it, to help with KAM, Laffy and Shesty raises.


Tkachuk Tro Laffy
Panarin Chytil Cuylle
Kreider Zibs Reilly

no
