Roster Building Thread - Part XII(Training Camp/Preseason)

[nyaz11]

The biggest news of this offseason, was the NHL allowing deferred money to lower cap hits.

Drury and Dolan should absolutely take advantage asap and lock both shesty and laf up to deals that they want money wise and the rangers can defer to make work cap wise. It’s time for them to be ahead of the curve before the NHL starts preventing it.

This could plausibly be the last year before we blow it up if the playoffs are a disappointment again.

I don’t think it’s super likely? But I’d rather not start a new rebuild with a 8x100 contract at goalie.

I love Igor and hope we retires here but I think we can wait until the offseason to decide

Agreed.

I'd like to proceed based on how this season goes. There's going to be some heavy furniture moved next summer either way.

I'm also not worried about Kakko. Didn't he come into the preseason looking like gangbusters last year and then fall back to earth anyway during the season?

Chytil taking hard jolts and being okay is a good sign but thats hardly the end of it.

With his style and how he likes to lug the puck he is going to have to be extremely aware of who he is lined up against.

Yes. He leaves himself open too much.

If you think we’re not in playoff position at the deadline I’ve got a bridge to sell you

I didn't say that. But if you think we are still a Cup contender without him, I've got a bridge to sell you.
