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

[Siddi]

Well played by Drury. 8 mil off the books. Amazing.

 

[RangerLifer]

Hallelujah!

 

[duhmetreE]

We can do better

not by much. add a pick then.

 

[RangerLifer]

Meh, the entire hockey world called us classless for waiving him, which was ridiculous

They obviously didn't watch the games and how bad he was.

Meh, the entire hockey world called us classless for waiving him, which was ridiculous

HF: Trouba with his latest murder attempt. Classless player, classless organization

HF: Classless waiving that sweet angel Jacob Trouba! What did he do wrong?!

 

[Kords]

Seems more like Drury should give him brooks number.

lol, seriously. With just a few lines of text Brooks has spawned like 5 different articles from this dude foaming at the mouth. Canadian hockey fans are too funny.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

By the way, the last time the Rangers leaked it out that they were coming to try and take a teams star player, it worked out super well in Buffalo.

So let’s see how things play out for Tkachuk and the Senators

And there’s the Igor contract.

 

[Kords]

Igor 11.5



Probably happened weeks ago

 

[RangerLifer]

It was smart to do what we can now. We were not going anywhere built as is. I'd still move more but not a fire sale. Only trades that we for sure win. I definitely would not throw away Kreider. I would make it clear to him that his 5 on 5 play will be based on how much he hustles. I would move Mika BUT Mika has value so I would not give him away. I would look for value in return for Mika. I would move Lindy for a draft pick, prospect or any suitable replacement.

You had me up until Mika.

 

[Bruner4329]

That's fair. I think the transition is going to take some time. Especially with Mika. But I wouldn't be too surprised to see Kreider go before the deadline this season in a move that was a bit of a Gaborik to Columbus redux.

Trading Kreider has far more implications than the Gaborik trade. Its not even close. The guy came up an Ranger, is a life long Ranger and is one of the all time leaders from a statistical perspective.

[Cmox]

And there’s the Igor contract.

 

[Guyute]

One bad contract off of the books and now another bad contract on the books

 

[RangerLifer]

And there’s the Igor contract.

Say goodbye to him. We can't afford him.

 

[RangerBoy]

 

[RangerLifer]

This team is f***ing done then. This is so stupid.

 

[Raspewtin]

all my happiness from Trouba is gone.

I really, really didn't want Igor back.

 

[Kords]

Odds he opted for a FULL NMC?

 

[Matt Rentfree]

They. Never. f***ing. Learn. From. Their. Mistakes.

 

[Raspewtin]

Drury just swung wildly in the other direction.

This extension is indefensible.

 

[noncents]

snowblind in shambles

 

[rangers1314]

well that good feeling lasted about 1 minute

 

[will1066]

Holy shit

 

[Peltz]

Looks like we can finally turn the page and maybe see a new brand of Rangers hockey in the next few seasons.

Oh never mind.
