Roster Building Thread - Part XII (Season starts 10/9 @ 7:30 pm)

[Machinehead]

Reset the goalie market, he says.

Yeah, we needed another massive bump in player salaries while the cap hasn't moved significantly since 2018.

I hate this league.

 

[RangerBoy]

Drury should have called his buddy Jeff Kealty in Nashville expressing interest in Ashkarov. Kealty is Nashville's AGM. Former BU teammate. Othmann. First round pick.

The Rangers aren’t winning with this roster. Happy talk heading into the season. The same flaws are still there.

Me in my 20's in October: "I'm so excited for the season to start!!"

Me in my 30's in October:

Me in my 40’s in October:

 

[Machinehead]

Just postpone the contract negotiations to next summer.

Also tell Fox and the other core D guys to go all in on offense and forget about defense this season.

This is only gonna work on Fox.

 

[MrAlmost]

So, Kakko and Igor for Gibson and Zegras?

 

[TGWL]

The playoff comparison between Lundqvist and Shesterkin is not as simple as just comparing career numbers, or first 44-50 games. Teams are way different. Scoring is higher. And if you use our success with Lundqvist and say 2011-2012-2014-2015, the numbers are obviously much different now. I never liked the straight "In their first *insert games*", or "Career stats" comparison because it's almost meaningless.

 

[Machinehead]

So, Kakko and Igor for Gibson and Zegras?

This trade still annoys me, even under the circumstances.

 

[JCProdigy]

I heart Shesty even more now!

 

[LokiDog]

So, Kakko and Igor for Gibson and Zegras?

Go after Dostal, Zegras and LaCombe (replace Lindgren cheaper).

 

[Shesterkybomb]

So basically we're going til atleast Christmas without a new deal, that's ballsy on Igors part, what happens if he tears a knee up or something.

 

[GAGLine]

He is choosing money over team success, time to move on. San Jose, Calgary, Columbus, Anaheim etc would all take him I bet, how about Detroit they have real goalie issues.

The bolded are likely all on his no trade list, and San Jose just traded for Askarov. Detroit could make sense if they don't want to wait for Cossa.

 

[savebyrichter94]

12 million for this ugly f***?

Maybe he wants plastic surgery?

 

[SA16]

Why would any team want to pay him grossly over market value AND trade good assets to do it?

 

[Mike in Houston]

The bolded are likely all on his no trade list, and San Jose just traded for Askarov. Detroit could make sense if they don't want to wait for Cossa.

He has trade protection with this current deal?

 

[MrAlmost]

This trade still annoys me, even under the circumstances.

What if they add Fowler and we correct all the draft mistakes of the last decade.........a decade late.

Idk I just kinda hate Zegras

 

[Daves a mess]

So 11x 8 rejected faster than me hitting on a Coppertone model.

" I want to be paid highest goalie" K. Offer given.

"Well Nyet... I want like um... 15% of the cap now!"

Hop on the bus Gus. No need to discuss much.

And again. LMA Igor.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I hate this league.

it’s gonna be 100 million any century now

 

[Harbour Dog]

Idk I just kinda hate Zegras

The single most overrated player on HFNYR.

 

[CLW]

The only thing more insane than rejecting this offer is that it was made in the first place.

100%.

Bye Igor.

Fire Drury. Trade Igor. Then trade Trouba & Panarin next summer. This team needs to get rid of the selfish boat anchors.

 

[MrAlmost]

Idk I just kinda hate Zegras

He ain't worse than Kakko. Haha

However, he does kinda seem like a caricature of a "hockey bro". Played with a lot of those dude back in college. They can be nice guys and fun, but they can also be pretty shitty.

 

[17futurecap]

Insane offer, and insane to think Chris Drury would be smart enough to build a team with that crutch of a contract on the books around Igor.

 

[haohmaru]

It doesn't matter what you think should be. The players bargained for the movement clauses and aren't going to give them up without a fight.

And we won’t be competitive with contract offers if we don’t offer them.

 

[Ail]

Igor. Thank you for your services.

lmfao, hope he is a sieve this year. Keep Fox and Laff TRADE EVERYONE SHUT IT DOWN ITS OVER



Okay but really I mean 11 mil is alot but why would Igor accept their first offer. He knows he has all the leverage.

 

[LOFIN]

Stop talking about a trade, it doesn't exist. Unless you want to just give him away. If there is a team that is willing to give in to his insane contract demands, they will wait until next July and grab him for free in the UFA.
