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

[The Crypto Guy]

Eww.

Wont be Ew if he plays like he did prior to last season. If he struggling there wont be talks.

This organization is so stupid

I’m just as critical as the next guy, but it’s not the organization fault that Trouba decided to do a massive screw job.

He ruined the Rangers offseason.

He wont last long once he hears the boo birds all season at MSG.

2 years ago, Panarin. Last year, Lafreniere. Now Trouba/Lindgren. Do we know who were going after next year yet?

Just a general statement lol

It’s still an eww because he’s playing way above his station. He should be on the 3rd pairing but we know where he will play. If he gets a longer term contract from us it will be for more than 4.5m. Him and trouba need to go after their contracts. This is what scares me. If he struggles he will also remain with the team bc we self rent and won’t move him.

Matthew Robertson. This training camp is his opportunity. Michael Sauer was drafted in the 2nd round in 2005. He could not crack the Rangers lineup until his 4th pro year. Sauer outplayed Ryan McDonagh in training camp in 2010 to make the Rangers roster. Five years after being drafted. Robertson was selected in the 2nd round in 2019. Five years. 2024.

Zac Jones is Robertson's main competition on the left side. The Rangers don't really have a 7th D. Ruhwedel can be sent to the AHL. Bigger body on D. The Rangers desperately need size on D. Unless Drury has a deal brewing for a D which involves a roster player making decent money, the Rangers don't have room for a significant addition.

The Rangers could have a roster with 13/7/2 and $1.3M-$1.4M in cap space which accrues to $5.85M-$6.3M in space at trade deadline day assuming no injuries during the season. Multiply the number by 4.5.

I think Robertson is terrible and will never play a game for the Rangers. Scanlin is next up.

Scanlin is not very good. The Rangers need help on D.

More Left Wingers it is

That happens when your franchise is run by morons. What team's defence corps did they watch this year? Did they not watch Lindgren play this past season? If it weren't for the goaltending, they would've been in a dog fight to stay out of the Wild Card race; definitely wouldn't have won the President's Trophy.

If they sign Lindgren to an multi year extension, Drury should be fired.

Thankfully we got EJ with our first, smart pick long term.

 

[TominNC]

If morons can run a team with so many awful players and still make the ECF two of three years, what the hell is wrong with all those other teams?

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Mancini is better than both of them.

Those other teams are awesome. Oh wait.

Goaltending. Goaltending carries you through the regular season. Then in the playoffs can’t hide anymore

 

[17futurecap]

I think Trouba collaborated with @EdJovanovski on the full piece.

Bigger morons??

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

We still have a big problem if one of our top 3 Cs have to miss significant time imo. I don’t think any of our top 9 Ws play C and can slide over allowing a decent call up. I don’t believe Brodz or Carrick are the answers. I think this will be the fatal flaw of our offseason.

Fix it at the deadline

The fact that this guy now thinks of himself as an “artist” is really the cherry on top.

Not sure this is an exhibit, just looks like the storeroom of Cass Marques after Trouba getting burnt so many times in 2024.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I love Shesterkin, but if his contract ask is too high would you ask Allaire to go and work with Garand, and trade Shesterkin for a signed bonefide 1rw and a dman? Just spitballing cus I haven't dug into who needs a goalie or whatnot but say, Keller, Ingram/Vemelka and a d prospect?
I realize Allaire is walking back his duties but imo this is an area we haven't used to our advantage for all the years we've had the best goalie coach in the nhl. I have full confidence that given a guy like Ingram, or Garand that he could turn them into at the least solid goalies if not top 10 goalies. So with that, if we could save money in the goalie spot and massively improve our team it's something we should seriously consider.
