Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XIII

[Avery16]

So who is out or going down?

Seems likely either Fast or Zib needs to stay out for longer.

 

[Tob]

Time for Quinn to ruin Chytil and Lindgren too.

Andersson is finally getting to play top six minutes, but Chytil is going to be stapled next to McKegg and Haley playing 6 mins only on the PK.

Lindgren is going in on the right side and D'Angelo is coming out because he hacked Kravtsov's instagram and deleted all of his pics.

Watching Kreider the last couple days, I’m ready to move on. He is still a great player, is a difference maker, but is not taking any team across the line on his shoulders. He’s starting to show that he’s hit his peak, and will not be worth any contract that he’s willing to sign in order to stay.

At this point I think a change is for the best all-around. I think the Rangers are proving that they need more ammo to hedge their bets, and I think Kreider would work best as a rental for a team needing a unique addition to round out its top six forward lineup.

While I’d prefer to land a younger, NHL-ready prospect, I think the odds say we’re probably looking a first and a B prospect again - not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Lindgren and Fox have history. Odds are Staal stays in, just something to keep in mind.

Staal and Trouba top pair

 

[Edge]

Weird to think we could have a lineup where four members of the defense are from the U.S., including three from Minnesota.

It's no McAvoy, Krug, Grzelcyk that's for sure.

 

[Edge]

I take that back, it could actually be five American defenseman in the lineup. I forgot ADA.

 

[Edge]

It's no McAvoy, Krug, Grzelcyk that's for sure.

Not many are, which is why Boston is a top Cup contender.

 

[Avery16]

Reider is on waivers and is only making 700k. We're 4th in line to claim.

 

[SA16]

I assume the line will be out the door to claim the player with 1 goal in his last 79 games who was on a PTO in training camp before being given a two way deal.

 

[Waivers]

Tobias is another vanilla player, exactly what the Rangers do not need.

Rangers should target someone like Kyle Clifford. UFA at seasons end. Rangers definitely need guys that can play a regular shift and play with a nastiness to their game consistently. Getting Lemieux was a start but Crouse and 1st for Kreider might be a deal that I can see happening especially with Kreider's chemistry with Stepan. Yotes might overpay for that chemistry

 

[SA16]

Oh not not the Kyle Clifford thing again. This was a major talking point like five years ago. (He's actually good though)

So we shouldn't overpay to keep Fast, but lets get into a bidding war for Kyle Clifford.

 

[bobbop]

Before anyone makes a Kreider trade proposal, they need to stop and consider his no trade list. If Arizona wasn’t on he no-trade list in the past, he would already be there. That may change down the road. We’ll have to see.

I wonder if a team like Carolina, which has an extra 1st this year, could be a landing spot for Kreider. What else would the Rangers have to add to Kreider for a Bokk/2020 1st package...maybe add Fast into the deal?

with only 2 being actual NHL caliber players.

Plus take back a contract I would imagine.

 

[Kovalev27]

Betcha anything you want since Hajek had a bad game which he hasn’t in forever he’ll sit for Lindgren.

Staal isn’t sitting

 

[RangersFan1994]

Staal can take a dump in Quinn's morning breakfast and he would still play that night

 

[RangersFan1994]

Different type of player not overpay. 2 3 year deal wouldn't be so bad. Fast is too vanilla. Rangers need more physical players with a mean streak that are better than Michael Haley

 

[LokiDog]

Jake Virtanen, Lawson Crouse, Warren Foegele, Brock McGinn, Sammy Blais, Tage Thompson. Those are the kind of guys I’d target. If we could get any and a 1st for a guy like Kreider, I’d be happy.
