Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XIII (Nanaki edition)

[Crease]

Bern is Duguay confirmed.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Kakko's name has resurfaced. The Rangers won't trade him unless they get what they want.

Can the flames take zibs? There’s their #2 center lol.

Kakko needs to stay and be locked up

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Bern is Duguay confirmed.

Nah.

Berns vocab is too sophisticated.

 

[Lion Hound]

Losing streak is at 4 games.
Team is 4th in the Metro with 6Pts behind the 3rd place team.

If the streak continues. And the club starts to fall off the playoff wildcard slot. What does the team then do with Igor? I mean, if you cant even get into a playoff spot, are you really going to sign sign him to the highest goaltender contract ever given out in the NHL?

Or, does Drury say this isnt happening and make him available. He would be a Haul for a club looking for a netminder.

The teams who’d make a trade for Igor are teams without much in the pipeline.

 

[NickyFotiu]

It's just a fantasy. It's not the real thing.

I know but you never know. We have had some big time trades in our past. Would you consider it? I would.

 

[leetch99]

I don't know who the f top shelf hockey is but I can tell you that what ever Kreider says has little impact one way or the other.

Teams are going to review his medicals and not just take his word for it. Plus that entire methodology would go out the window the second he returns to playing.

We could lend Mika and Kreider out to the Flying Fathers....

 

[TominNC]

Might as well suggest Mika for McDavid for all the reality involved.

 

[Dijock94]

You don't have 10 forwards called the core to build around. We need to be a little more realistic here. If those 10 are penciled in to build around, we're lacking a lot of star power.

So you assume we will receive nothing in return for Kreider, Lindgren, Shesterkin? Mika Trouba I’m sure it would cost us to move them

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He’d be a rental so a deep pipeline wouldn’t really be necessary.

most teams have a 1st. Most of the contenders would have to part with their top prospect (and it won’t be a top 20 or even 30 guy) and another piece.

Pretty garden variety package for a top player at the deadline with the quality of the prospect being better than usual bc of the player being bought.

Sure except that if we’re moving Igor it should be a top prospect guy.
I don’t want a late first.
I want a guy who was a top 10 pick on an elc or unsigned.

I would. Crosby and Malkin are infinitely better than krieder and zibs

 

[McRanger92]

Rangers and Predators should be talking. Lauzon, Novak both guys the rangers have had interest in for years. Both would help. 2 teams that are disappointing.

Lauzon is terrible and the opposite direction of where they should be going.

Novak is good though.

 

[n8]

LOL, ok I can go along with a typical over-reacting Ranger fan fire sale. It's in our DNA to act like this.
Trade Kreider, trade Trouba, trade Miller, trade Lindgren, trade Igor, trade Trocheck, get Mika and Panarin to waive their NMC.

build around Cuylle-Kakko-Laf
get two pieces to play with Perrault. The pipe dream is probably be McDavid or Eichel via UFA, LW through trade (or Kaprizov or Connor LOL). Use a lot of the trade assets to get defense and a goalie. Schneider, Emery, Fortescue, Jones, Mancini all available if it's for an upgrade. Maybe give Garand some games so we can get a litmus reading on him. Maybe do a goalie tandem thing.
3rd line Othmann-X-Berard
4th line Edstrom-X-Chmelar
X = best of Skyora, Roobroeck, Laba, Lamb
Rempe = 13th forward, deploy when you need to lay the hurt down.
Upgrade the bottom 6 where applicable too.
Ok, back to the reality of despair.

 

[McRanger92]

Lauzon would be an upgrade in the fact that he’s not a bitch like the rest of our D. If you’re going to suck at least stand up for yourself and the team.

or.........just get a D that doesn't suck

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Drury ain’t gonna do shit

 

[RangersFan1994]

Novak, Lauzon and L'Heureux for Lindgren and Kakko?

 

[NickyFotiu]

I would. Crosby and Malkin are infinitely better than krieder and zibs

I would as well. The Pitt guys are older so we would only have a 1-2 year window but this way we wouldn't waste prime years of Laff, Bread, Igor and Fox. Would be interesting to have Karlsson as well. Plus Malkin is meaner than Zib/CK. I really enjoyed CK standing up to "Kachook" last season but that is very rare.

Other option is trades for picks/prospects but we would lose prime years of other guys waiting.

Only option I do not want is doing nothing.

 

[leetch99]

has he won a single board/puck battle this season?

The only time him and Kreider see the boards are when they climb over them .

 

[Fitzy]

Drury ain’t gonna do shit

Just think about how Chris is gonna feel when he reads this

 

[Kodiak]

Just think about how Chris is gonna feel when he reads this

He’s not going to let it ruin his holiday.

 

[Kodiak]

Not Fox.

Lafreniere I think has 8-10 team NTC when new contract kicks in

Trocheck goes from NMC to partial NTC next season

Per the CBA, players can only have an NMC/NTC during their UFA years. Both Fox and Lafreniere have some form of trade protection in the later years of their contracts.

Or when they’re hugging leaving the ice
