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

[GAGLine]

i forgot. they also have ruhwedel. i wonder if they try to sneak him through waivers. or if maybe they send down mancini for a bit to accrue cap space. or do they just barrel forward with eight D?

Based on usage and waiver status, we might be waiting until Vesey is healthy to send down Rempe.

for the forwards i think that makes sense. i cant see them carrying eight D, thinking about it. not for long, anyhow. probably send down rempe and mancini for a few weeks and accrue.

If the Kings drop out of playoff contention Rangers should target Gavrikov. Swap Lindgren for Gavrikov and the defense is light years better.

LMAO....so you just assume if they are big and mean they are not talented ? Geesh....I kind of liked watching Stevens- D Hatcher-Robinson-Potvin -Pronger-Hedman-Chelios over the years. I bet a lot of fans liked the nastiness .Nasty does not mean less skilled

You listed guys from different eras (and different teams). These are not from a batch production, each is a “handmade” type. There’s no team that carries even a top-4 made up of this kind. The closest I can think of were late-90’s vintage Devs. Maybe Colorado around the same time

You guys know that if we make a trade for a defenseman it'll be for someone to replace Mancini right? Lindgren is a #warrior.

I'm not sure why the Kings would trade a pending UFA for a pending UFA. If Lindgren is going just for cap purposes, then we'd have to add something significant, and we won't have the space to re-sign Gavrikov.

Assuming good health, the move for the Rangers to make at the deadline would be for a dynamic scoring RW or LW to put with Chytil and move either Cuylle or Kakko down to the 4th line. Neither Cuylle or Kakko will be doing much of any scoring in the playoffs. Then get a good vet D for depth.

Lets keep some faith in what seems to be the most effective line in the NHL so far this season.

I think the Rangers make a big deal for a top 4 LHD at the deadline.

I feel like this shouldn't get ignored.

not sure people know what to look at. (the 3 rangers logos top of the page).

Has that big swing ever really worked? The cup winners usually add around the edges.

maybe he meant offseason if they dont win.


btw david savard f***ing sucks

Button said on Tony’s show that while Trouba is the most feared hitter in the league, the second most feared might be Schneider. Since when?

When everyone is healthy send down Rempe & Mancini, let them play big minutes in AHL.
Those 2 together with Othman, Sykora. Berard and possible Perrault should be better then what we can get for late round picks when we get to the playoff. No need to trade for any Motte this year. If any really good LD to pops up as a possible rental go for it. I hate to trade a 1. rounder for rental, but if this team keeps it up until the deadline this year it might really be worth it.

Who isn’t healthy besides Vesey?

Mancini should stay, he’s been good. Much better option than Chad R.
