Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XIV (To trade or not to trade is the question)

[effen]

I'm here for the meltdown when the Rangers take back Erik Gudbranson.

 

[will1066]

Ao they both agree Lindgren should be playing top 4? I don't like the sound of that

I'm sure they'll come to an agreement over him soon

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

So what the hell is going on

 

[McRanger92]

Rangers are going to come out and play inspired hockey tonight or get absolutely obliterated by Sid and Geno. Get your popcorn ready. Drury will be in the press box with a Daily Burger, charging up the flamethrower.

 

[duhmetreE]

I have hope for my

Tkachuk Bennett Cuylle line in 2025

 

[Fitzy]

Oh let Stan have fun on twitter. If I make it to that age I won't care what a bunch of younglings think about my humor. I'm gonna ride out the final years in complete indifference.

 

[Ruggs225]

he is going to be waived to try to call Drury’s bluff

 

[Svenhart2008]

I think we see him waived. He is really taking a chance here

 

[Chytilmania]

What happens first…Trouba traded or Winds of Winter gets finished?

 

[will1066]

I have hope for my

Tkachuk Bennett Cuylle line in 2025

Bennett would be first player to play with both Tkachuk brothers?

Those late night conversations were fruitful

Mika's interview to me demonstrates that he isn't just thinking about trouba when thinking or talking about this. I think he knows who the next two targets are and he knows life is about to get less cushy for him and his buddy

Also, I generally like Vince but every one of his questions right now is fishing for confirmation to his theory that he has been pushing in his podcast that everything that is wrong with the team right now is jury's fault and that he has been the reason why the players have looked and played the way they have. People can make their own conclusions, but the questions and the way that Vince is asking them right now are literally trying to steer the players to say that

I love Brady Tkachuk. That guy IMO is made for the bright lights.

When he came to MSG and stepped out Captain Trouba at CI....I knew right there he needed to be a Ranger . We sorely lacked that kind of guy....and the Sens did win that game !

I remember a time during the Lundqvist years where we were always the best-looking team in the league. Like 3/4 of the dudes could be in GQ, and the other 1/4 looked like me--sort of okay, not causing kids to shit their pants because they are so ugly, etc. That never got us anywhere, so maybe we ought to go the other direction.

Now you've unleashed Seth Jarvis and Evan Rodrigues trade proposals....

You're saying we should channel the old Broad Street bullies!!! Now there was a butt ugly bunch.

The self imposed "today by 2PM" deadline is also not set in stone by any means. There is no reason the Rangers couldn't delay this a couple more days, if that is what is ultimately needed to pull off a trade.

 

[McRanger92]

If there is a deal on the table with Columbus and its up to Trouba, thats where he is going. because the Rangers can just waive him, knowing that Columbus will claim him.

 

[JohnC]

also for all the chatter here I kind of doubt Drury is looking for a big blow up and reset. He wants this team to right itself and make the playoffs and push again. I don't think he's willing to give up on the season now, he's trying to cut dead weight and make the team play better, not tank

The people rooting for these big changes are also the same people that for sure do not have the stomach for another rebuild period so they’ll be bitching again within months.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I can't believe we made this guy the captain.

would explain how everyone else is acting. can’t get this guy the f*** out of here fast enough. his attitude has infected the team.

 

[nyr2k2]

Heard alot of bizarre takes on this board. This one is right up at the top!

It was back when we had Hank, guys like Hagelin and Del Zotto with the flow, Girardi with the chiseled chin and dreamy blue eyes. Cally and Kreider as young guys looked like they would roll up when you called College Hunks Moving Junk. Seriously though I remember we used to laugh about it in GDTs when they'd do the player intros.

 

[Svenhart2008]

I’d almost rather he gets claimed. Free and clear

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Hes forgotten more hockey than all of us combined

They're out of network.

I’ll be at the game tonight

 

[McRanger92]

Friedman joining the Senators damage control parade. Sounds to me like this is some weak attempt by them to maintain leverage. Im sure nothing is imminent but this was a smart move to pressure Staios



Rupper knows. The Rangers know. Does Ottawa know?
