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

[Boris Zubov]

I don’t get it.


Edit: wait I get it

explain please...I still don't get it

NVM....I should've waited til I read the rest of the replies.

 

[cwede]

Jake Leschyshyn called up, makes the Rempe demotion even better...shake my F'n head.

just my opinion, but seems to me it's the right move,
Lesch only dresses tonight if unexpected late scratch
let Rempe practice w Pack today, he will play for them tomorrow at 4

but I am a fan who believe Rempe should stay down for months, ,
with top 9 ice time to develop his whole game,
no need to rush him

 

[80s Kid]

The only reason you get rid of Kreider is if some GM offers a deal you can't refuse. Otherwise, I'll just repeat what I say on a regular basis when I watch the Rangers...All Chris Kreider does is score goals.

The goal for the future is to get rid of players on bad contracts and that is NOT the situation with Kreider. Yes, he's getting older but he reinvented his game which should (and so far has) allowed him to age like fine wine. He's literally the best net front guy in the NHL so unless you know your getting some stupidly good assets in a trade, you keep him and look elsewhere.

Jake L sucks, is barely an AHL player, he can't replace anyone at the nhl level. If you are sending Rempe down to get time in that's fine but calling up a total nothing is a waste of time. The other side of this is that Jake doesn't deserve an nhl pay, how can players in the AHL who are better than him like the idea of him getting off the bus and onto the plane over them.

Got news for people talking about a Kreider trade, this guy is retiring with NYR as he should. He could go on to become the greatest ranger ever if we could grab a cup.

 

[TominNC]

He's here to sit in the press box, because the AHL guys with potential need to keep playing.

And oh look. Ruhwedel cleared waivers. As usual no need to be concerned about guys clearing waivers.

Is there an engraver that works on weekends ? The Cup is won !

I assume Vesey is still not healthy so Jake is here in case one of the 12 healthy forwards slips on the curb outside MSG?

 

[huerter]

We’re still asking Lav about the PP? God we need a full beat rebuild in the worst way.

eff fuggin R mgmt for their massive stupidity not listening to bern on this
as is often if not usually the case, I will be proven correct
this is a mistake
we need to max RempEd mins in season so they develop faster and are optimal ready for POs

Desperate. They could have called up Blidhl or Belzile someone more useful

 

[kovazub94]

Trading Kreider isn’t smart. He’s production is well above his cap hit and he’s a leader on the team.

They do need to find a young LD though. I could see them trading someone like Jones for a bigger, more steady but less flashy young LD

Seeing how well IMO Schneider looked on the left side and Miller with Fox, maybe opens the door for Drury to look for a D rather than specifically for LD.

P.S. Also why young D? I mean all things being equal younger is better than older but I wouldn’t mind a not-over-the-hill vet.

 

[kovazub94]

This. I don’t see an issue to let Rempe get into game there rather than just practice. Clearly Edstrom is completely capable on the 4th line and is ahead of Rempe (at the moment). Nice thing by the organization to let Lesch earned a little more in NY and practice with the big boys. Win win.

 

[bernmeister]

can only hope Leshitshow being showcased

My opinion on Leschyshyn differs from yours. I believe he is an excellent AHL player. AAAA
For reasons that are beyond my knowledge he just can’t bring that game to the NHL.
Has speed, defends well, go to the dirty areas and is strong on his skates.

 

[Daves a mess]

What does he , Miller's attempt at an empty net, and Mikas entire game get ya in a package?

 

[GAGLine]

Showcase what? How well he sits a press box? He's not here to play, which is why he was called up rather than someone like Berard or Othmann.

I wouldn't have called him up at all, but Drury seemingly can't abide not having a spare in case someone gets hurt in warmups, even though that happens very infrequently. If someone did get hurt, I'd rather go 11 and 7 than play Leschyshyn.

Yea I done get it either but whatever Vesey gonna take that spot real soon

They may send Mancini down if Jones does well

We probably see a lot of up and down with Rempe but I hope Berard gets the next call up if an injury occurs

Jake has the lowest cap hit

yeah, it was not clear he was sittin when they called him up/I said what I did

 

[Synergy27]

So, if Mika is now this team’s 3C and defensive matchup guy, who can we trade him for that is better suited for that role and makes less money?

 

[bernmeister]

non starter
KAM stays at least, showing an open mind, until Fortescue gets here, possibly longer

Leshitshow does not move needle, he takes away b'c other team takes his contract, tho it is small and min term

Mika has to waive. He will not do so UNLESS maybe he is told and shown vets other than Kreider are going.
Shesty now or if Igor extends 12+ but w/no-min clauses so he can then be waived
bread not sniffing 11.6+ after next season, he will waive prob next season to avoid things getting ugly
Lindy sell now while he has any value
Trouba obviously would already be gone, buh bye by next season

IF IF IF he gets a good fit on relocation he may relent

while he can be a positive add in some places, only a few look appealing to him on paper
top of my head, this is LA or TOR

both instances, the key is Igor w/Zib as an add

Whole lot of fantasy waiving going on in this post.

Zibanejad+ for Danault? I'd do that in a heartbeat, and LA is the kind of city i could see him waiving for

I don't think Mancini's status is tied to Jones. Drury isn't going to carry less than 7 dmen. Sending Mancini down at this point would necessitate bringing someone up. And since they already chose Mancini over Ruhwedel, I don't see them doing that.

I think Lavi is playing with pairs, now that 55 is back.
He wanted to find the best pairings.

They’re in direct competition.
ruhwedel likely comes up if Jones wins out.

Mancini needs regular games

wrong

responded to poster asking specifically what we could get on package incl Mika
since he has nmc
this is subordinate to relocations to which he might approve
which I noted above

accurate, not fantasy
b'c
reasonable under circumstances dealt w/Shesty
he goes to LA
he goes to TOR

Zibanejad+ for Danault? I'd do that in a heartbeat, and LA is the kind of city i could see him waiving for

Not sure that is even a good lateral overall, and setting that aside, he's not waiving unless, like I explained, he is comfy, prob means Igor has to go with...
something around Igor + Zib for Byfield +, or we deal him elsewhere
