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

[IDvsEGO]

this is the Way

Id almost like to see them swap 20 for 50 and see what happens, but I don’t mind cuylle there for now.

That might be a later in the year move when the games are a lot tougher than they are right now...these games are just a step above pre season mode outside of a couple we have played and there has been a lot of pond hockey involved . Kreider at some point could end up on the 3rd line and it likely won't diminish his numbers as he will still score on the PP and probably /hopefully sustain his 5on5 goals . In doing so it should make us a bit more robust and which maybe allows them to make other roster moves at some point next season and or beyond especially if Cuylle can handle it .....it's a bonus for the team if they know they have a guy that can slide up and perform . Versatility in the top 9 makes us an even deeper club and one harder to defense against .

I means swap 20-50 and move the 20-72-24 line up as the official #2 line. Not a demotion to 20 but a demotion for 93

No prob w/4 headed 4th L w/ (alphabetically) Brodz/Carrick/Eds/Rem
b'c full rest, can see Brodz + Eds providing depth relief to upper lines

no Vesey
ditch vesey
sell vesey NOW

Vesey has much, much more value as an NHL contributor than a 4th round pick in 2027.

Injuries happen. Depth is great.

If Jones was ever to be sent down to HFD he would have to pass through waivers correct?

Correct, the only players on the roster that don't require waivers right now are Edstrom, Mancini, and Rempe

 

[McRanger92]

When Vesey is ready, Rempe is getting sent down. And there is nothing wrong with that. Let rempe develop while actually playing in Hartford. Carrick and Edstrom give us the size and tenacity we need on 4L. Hopefully a more polished Rempe can return in the second half when things maybe get a little stale for the group.

mea culpa on carrick. guy can skate and play a 4th line role.

i loved early in the 1st he wins a face off and just gives the habs C a cross check on the dot. setting the tone for the game.

 

[Leonardo87]

Carrick has been as advertised. He was a fan favorite in Anaheim.

 

[Lion Hound]

These numbers are obviously going to fall off a but, who would be a comparable for Will Cuylle on his next contract?

Currently at PPG pace.
All production has come via 5X5
Leads team in Hits 29
Leads team in plus/minus +9
6th on the Rangers in SOG 14

Hes what 21, 22 years old? 6'3, 211 lbs.

Lets say the numbers tail off, but he finishes the season between 45-50 points. Early estimates were much lower for his next contract but if he continues to produce in multiple areas with lesser icetime then players in the top 6 this next contract could be an issue for Drury.

Sam is always in the blue paint. Was there for the 2nd Chytil goal and when Edstrom hit the post. If the habs were actually tough and not just "crosscheck in the back" artists (Looking at you Josh Anderson), Carrick wouldve fed someone their teeth. He can throw them.

Id give him an 8 year deal with an AAV in the 4s. Such a useful player, especially now that hes getting PK time.
