Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XIII

[NYSPORTS]

Uncle Larry is finally coming around tho... in his article today he said something about how Staals been not good for multiple games now... something like that..which I feel like it’s the 1st time I’ve seen anything close to criticism of him so.... yea... idk...
He’s been really bad lately tho

lol/sad, he’s been awful for years with only a comical contract standing in his way to retirement. He’s literally gliding through the motions.

 

[LORDE]

What if we added two seconds to Kreider for Newhook?

We don't have our 2nd this coming draft (will be going to CAR for Fox once he hits 30? games)

 

[Waivers]

Rangers tried for Kaut at the draft when Kreider had term. Kreider has no term, so it is tough for me to imagine Kaut is now suddenly available for a rental.

 

[JimmyG89]

Floating around the trade discussion forum was Kreider for Puljujarvi and a 2nd.

I'd like the return. I think we beat this horse dead during the summer, but it could be something to explore over the next couple of months.

Anyone starting to wonder if our defensive system is making each of our D look worse than they are?

We'll see, but if Pionk and Shatty are still excelling at the 40 game mark, I'm going to be pretty convinced its the system more than the players. Yeah, I get Staal isn't very good. I get that Skjei makes lots of boneheaded mistakes. And that all of our D are prone to making errors here and there. EVERY team has that problem. But other teams with a more stout D system with better support from the forwards can avoid their D's weaknesses getting exposed on a nightly basis.

Look at how good Girardi looked under Torts compared to how he slow he looked under Vigneault. Was Girardi more worn down by the time Vigneault was here? Yes. But at some point, we need to fix the system if we just keep burning through defensemen. I mean, are Hank and even Georgie going to hold up over this season with that porous D in front of them? Can we really have such a loose defensive plan (in our own zone and the neutral zone) with only one offensive line?

I seriously don't understand why we're not trying to be a counter-attack team with this roster. 2 Rookies on D + younger D'Angelo + a shakey Sjkei and well, Staal... and our system doesn't really try to clog up the middle of the ice? Slow teams down? I mean with Fox and D'Angelo and Trouba who can make a great outlet, we'd really do so much better counter-punching then a 2-1-2 dump + pressure. At the end of the day, not only is our D both too young and too old, we also have a forward unit with mediocre speed. Right now, we've got Strome, Howden, Andersson, Kakko, Smith and Buchnevich -- that's half the forward group that are fairly average skaters. Any of those guys get caught below the circles when the puck goes the other way, they're NOT getting back in the play. They're not going to be supporting the D. What are we doing???

WE NEED TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM.

(this totally alarmist message will now self-destruct).

In Namestnikov trade we lost one of the highest IQ players in the league and a fellow Russian who would help our young Russians, it was a weird trade for cap space since he only had 1 year remaining, I wonder what they're opening the cap space for? I think we're doing this to land a big fish from the KHL, Nikita Filatov. He hasn't played so far this season as he's in a major holdout that has the hockey world at a stand still, some say he's been waiting for NYR to clear up the cap room to pursue him. I'd offer at 4M AAV for 4 seasons. He brings the same hockey IQ Namestnikov had, but a lot more high end skill such as his unique skating strides & rocket of a shot. He possesses rare ability in zone entries, when he carries puck through neutral zone he has successfully entered 89% of time in NHL, which is highest of any player to play 50+ games. His puck control is magnificent and he is a meticulous craftsman who makes detail oriented plays that most people don't understand. He has the knowledge to guide Kakko's development and he is the type of player who would excel with him as they both have similar instincts, some say Kakko & Filatov are cut from the same cloth so to speak. Filatov got a hat trick in his first game so I think Kakko could learn a thing or two as he is struggling out of the gate, Filatov will instill more confidence in him which he doesn't have as you can see by the picture when the prospects went to MSG and Kakko stood so far away from them awkwardly

Filatov has a lot charisma and charm and could help teach Kakko how to pose in pics and look more cool, also he has been a bit of disappointment for a 6th overall pick but Zibanejad was picked 6th overall and has had opposite trajectory where he was late bloomer, I think could rub off on Filatov and he could reach his peak and when he's at his peak he is a force.

Nikita Filatov was underutilized in his NHL stint but underlying metrics were indicative of future success. First 3 NHL seasons:
CF%
55.2% (+3.5 rel)
49.7% (+0.6 rel)
53.1% (+3.6 rel)

He was smeared as not doing rebounds but 26% of his shots came from slot as you see on his heat map which is significantly higher than NHL average. He is a grinder player as well but people didn't think so because he had too much high end skill and he skated with ease, making it look effortless.

Quinn desperate to get Kreider going.

It was clear from the beginning that Strome is not a 2C, and it has only become more apparent as time has gone on. There is no replacement at this point, and I honestly think Howden should be sent to the AHL for a bit. He doesn't look like he has it together, and yet he's started almost 70% of his shifts in the d-zone.

Ed might be on to something...

I never said the Senators lol Rangers should get more for Kreider than they did for Zuccarello but it won't shock me if Kreider brought back less than Zuccarello in a trade

And you think someone is giving you a first for Fast?
C’mon man!

 

[Fitzy]

It's a weekday. WTF are you idiots on?

 

[bobbop]

Quinn desperate to get Kreider going.

This.

The Rangers need Kreider for the now and the future. When you look at teams with scoring problems right now, the Rangers are high on the list. Some goals from Kreider would sure help right now.

They also need him to score to build value. I wouldn’t expect him to be traded anytime soon but his value is in producing offense. 0 goals ain’t going to generate a lot of interest.

There are some teams that are hopeful of making a run in the playoffs that are already showing a scoring weakness (e. g. Dallas, Boston, Arizona) and others will surface. Edmonton (and probably Arizona) are likely on his no trade list but he may have a change of heart if it is a short term situation where he is not obligated long term.

I think the Rangers will look to trade Kreider for a player(s) rather than draft choices. They need players and a lot of them.

 

[Tawnos]

Rangers tried for Kaut at the draft when Kreider had term. Kreider has no term, so it is tough for me to imagine Kaut is now suddenly available for a rental.

Not that I think there’s anything imminent, but Kreider has 8 less games of term than he had at the draft. At this moment, his value wouldn’t be all that dissimilar.

I don’t think he’ll be moved until the deadline, though.

 

[Ghost of jas]

1) Could Carolina be a landing spot for Kreider?

2) Could Bokk be a target as the return?
