Roster Building Thread - Part XII

[Kords]

I need those "Allaire left because he couldn't work with Igor" rumors.

Then I need those "Allaire reported to be working closely with Garand" rumors.

Jokes aside, the timing of all this really sucks with Benny stepping back.

 

[CasusBelli]

Honestly I tell Igor to find someone who is going to pay you that much. Do any teams have the cap space to give him 12+ mil? Hey Igor, go play for Columbus or Anaheim.

Igor, Werenski and Jenner. The dream team.

 

[Crease]

Just win the whole thing and let him walk after.

Actually

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

So panarins replacement is Laf.
Kreider is either Perrault or Othmann depending if he can take the next step. Trocheck is the hard one but chytil potentially.
Mika has none mostly because we’re not really sure what he is right now, but yeah. We need more center prospects.

Yes we do, brilliant

 

[IDvsEGO]

Yes we do, brilliant

Theres 30 NHL teams who would say the same thing without having gone to 2/3 past conference finals.
Just being a center prospect bumps a players draft profile significantly.
Unfortunately that also makes 1c's very hard to get in the mid to late 20's.

That’s good insight, thanks!

Imagine if the Rangers sign Shesterkin to the contract he wants just those Lafréniere to an offer sheet

Do you just concoct worst case scenarios to get off?

why do you react to him lmao

 

[grachevsceiling]

Time to use our leverage. Extend Domingue.

Is the Rangers we're talking about here. Buchnevich dealt years ago and still looking for a RW to play with Mika and Kreider. Overpaying Nemeth and Goodrow. Enough said

 

[Peltz]

Remember when Igor lost to whatever that garbage goalie NJ had

Goalie can't carry an average team to a cup

He was spectacular in that series though. He’s the reason they won the games they did and is in no way at fault for their losses.

Like, if a goalie steals you, 4-5 games over a playoff run, that would be worth an NHL leading contract.

You really need to get lucky with prospects and trading to build around him though. Florida made some ballsy moves around a Bob who has certainly proven his contract worth by now, and Igor is far better than him throughout the last few years.

 

[NYR2007]

I didn’t like the comments shesty made at the end of our playoff run. A lot of people chalked it up to him not being well versed in the English language. But he wouldn’t even say he wants to remain a New York ranger his whole career.

He obviously only cares about himself and not winning the cup. I would be nervous to give a guy like this a 8 year contract, what motivation would he have to keep improving his game.

It’s a huge mistake to pay a goalie this amount of money. The rangers other contracts would have to be perfect and we know that’s not gonna happen.

It’s a shitty situation to be in but use him for this season and let him walk and sign a goalie in the off season.

It took an unusually smart GM like Zito to fix the mess the Panthers were in after the Bobrovsky contract. The Panther GM who gave the contract to Bob basically made GM seppuku and was fired not long after. Drury is no Zito.

 

[Guyute]

Trade for Spencer Knight and send Shesty elsewhere? Doing so clearly makes us worse this year, but we can’t win with this core anyway.

We’re the New York friggin Rangers. If you’re going to fight so hard for the full UFA market rate, do you really want to be here? The Panthers, Lightning, Penguins, and others have convinced their superstars to take less in order to win. Why can’t we?

Why not take the shot? You get a couple rounds in and what the hell. Why take a step back and set up a losing trend?

100%. Treat Igor as a rental at this point at a steal (always said this was our last chance with his contract expiring) and roll the dice.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Anyone know why the Rangers do this? Matt Rempe drafted as a center but plays the wing and the Rangers signed Sam Carrick. Why not let Rempe play his natural position? Its not like the Rangers have depth at center ice. Edstrom has also played center in the SHL, why not let him mature at position. Watch Perreault is a winger and they'll move him to center because of his hockey IQ. Dylan Roobroeck drafted as a center, he should play center in Hartford.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Rempe, Edstrom, and Mancini. Pleasantly surprised they went on merit.

If Shesty wants more than 10.5- let him walk. I support the team over the player and I would not be looking forward to being handcuffed for the next 8 years. He is not THAT much better than the worst NHL goalie making 1 mil.

Isn't this coming from the same guy who wrote over the summer that it was Jacob Trouba's wife who was essentially the road block for a trade? And the fan base continued to not only turn on him but go in on her too?
