Speculation: Roster Building Thread Part XIII: Have no fear, the TDL is near (Mod Post page 233, #5809 - READ IT)

[HatTrick Swayze]

Would love to get Kostin from the Blues. Thomas gets more hype but I think I actually prefer Kostin as a prospect.

 

[Ola]

If the Rangers got like, Liljegren, Kapanen and a 1st for McDonagh, that'd be a decent package. Tacking on a 2nd in that would look a bit better.

I am not a big fan of Kapanen and Liljegren is very similar to Shatty and TDA. I would be interested in them if we where dealing Nash, not even remotely for McD.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Kapanen to me reads like a Jimmy Vesey+ player. Not opposed to getting him in a deal, but I wouldn't be jumping for joy. Though in that deal Liljegren is the main piece, which is a pretty good main piece IMO.

Itd be worth it just to see the meltdown in Toronto.

 

[Levitate]

I think they can get at least a first.

Yeah I think so too I just think a top prospect and a 1st might be a stretch

 

[Machinehead]

Any tantalizing trade rumors yet?

I heard we're trading everyone of value for teenagers.

Ugh, millennials...

 

[Machinehead]

Ugh, millennials...

They're not even millennials anymore.

 

[haveandare]

Anyone actually follow Foote closely for some reason? Curious about what people think of him.

 

[kovazub94]

Ugh, millennials...

Millennial: “There’s life after millennials?”

 

[Cheapshot]

They're not even millennials anymore.

Generation Z ha!

 

[Gardner McKay]

Generation Z ha!

Ah yes. The generation that is downing tide pods like they are skittles.

 

[Lays]

I'm not a fan at all and I've seen a good amount of him.

 

[Gardner McKay]

The worse part about the announcement yesterday? We know there is action coming and we have to sit and wait a few weeks for it to happen.

Can we at least just trade Holden...

 

[Crease]

Depends on your minimum standard of credibility of the source.

Minimal basis of credibility, please and thank you. I'm here for fun.

[Boruto]

Is this the thread where we disappoint ourselves by speculating about the Kellers and Dvoraks of the Stepan trade and then get a consolation prize in the end? So many high end prospects being mentioned here. Can't help but to feel this is going to lead to let downs.

 

[Thirty One]

Ah yes. The generation that is downing tide pods like they are skittles.

That's irresponsible reporting. They eat way more skittles than tide pods.

 

[NYR Viper]

Can we at least just trade Holden...

I mean at this point with Smith down in the AHL, Staal and Shattenkirk on IR and with ADA, Pionk and Gilmour up already what do they do if Holden is dealt right now? Play Kampfer?

 

[RGY]

Gilmour is only starting if Kampfer/ADA sitting. I don't see ADA sitting so it should be Kampfer. Kampfer sucks.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Can someone photo shot a Rangers themed/colored tank? (not a shirt - a war tank) I need a new motivational picture.

 

[NYR Viper]

It should be Kampfer

This assumes none of the 1st rounders from 2018 are on the team

Not bad...about an 8.5 on the Bernmeister 10 point scale.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Imagine a left side of Dahlin, Sergachev, and Skjei for a decade. Come get some.
