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

[hardnosed]

We practically need to start accruing cap space for TDL so it’s not about the max number of players allowed to be carried.

Got it.

 

[GAGLine]

But technically, we don't have to send anybody down, correct? Obviously, no need to carry 8 D but we aren't required to send a guy down because we are allowed 23.

You are correct. Players on either IR or LTIR do not count against the 23-man roster limit. When Lindgren is back, we will be at 23 players. When Vesey comes back, assuming no one else goes on IR/LTIR in the interim, someone will have to go down.

And yes, as @kovazub94 mentioned, if we send someone down as soon as Lindgren is back, we can begin accruing cap space.

I wish we could just send Lindgren down instead.

are the rangers playing any more f***ing hockey games ever? they've played once in the last week

NHL scheduling continues to be crap.

the lingren from 2021-22 was a very good effective player. the lindgren from 23-24 was bad.

There are a ton of teams who would gamble that theres a return to form because he's not even 27 yet

Over/under 2.5 games till Lindgren is taking shifts with Fox

I'm actually happy with the scheduling this year. Every year, we play more games early than everyone else in the division. We have 3 games in hand on the devils and it will increase to 4 in the near future. If we can keep up with them in points despite playing less games, we'll be in a great spot.

I know it's unlikely but packaging Lindgren + Othmann/Kakko for a true ( longish term solution ) top4LHD is the pragmatic move.

They wont give up the punching bag because he's liked in the locker room. I like the guy but do not like him for this team

I think Drury giving him a 1 year deal was a very telling "you need to have a better year or you're moved"

Over/under 2.5 games till Lindgren is taking shifts with Fox

Under 2.5 periods

How could Florida not win the cup if they did it last year?

Seen a certain way, we’ve already won by losing.

Would Heraclitus have run it back?
