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

[Kords]

Yes it is.

I knew you would make this exact post, cut quote and all!

 

[CLW]

Yes it is.

If they are part of the rotten culture of the club I don't give a crap about their fancy stats. I'm not saying Fox is, but I am not saying he isn't part of the problem either because I don't know that room.

 

[Gardner McKay]

The idea of trading Fox isn’t dumb in and of itself. It’s only dumb because the only worthwhile targets would be unavailable, but if that weren’t the case I would trade him for MacAvoy ++ or a similar culture shifting move within that vein.

It isn't dumb. You are right. The word hasn't been invented yet for how stupid/awful/dumb/idiotic trading Adam Fox would be.

Pretty much. I’m a jew from LI, I’m contractually obligated to root for Fox so it’s not like I WANT to trade him. Just don’t think it’s dumb if the right player(s) were coming back and being smug and obtuse about that isn’t particularly flattering imo.

Lol. This is the root of the New York Rangers entitlement problem right here.

"Oh we finally have a star let's treat him special." "Yeah, let's put him on a pedestal and give him everything he snaps his fingers over".

A little later:

Dang, why do we have an entitlement problem? Let's kick some kids arse hard.

Why does Lav separate Fox and Miller? So frustrating. Stop pairing your slowest two defensemen.

 

[Peltz]

There really isn't a player from the 3rd pairing to the fourth line to the first line that is a true leader, that embodies the identity of they NYR?

Cuyle is looking pretty "leader-like" to me right now.

Cuyle earned that spot on PP2. Gotta reward him for being the only forward showing up right now outside Chytil.

I know that Ed was projecting his Zegras injury angst in his long post earlier that includes a dissertation on Fox. But he isn't wrong in reminding us that Fox forced his way to this team. His body language sucks. I really do feel that entitlement and expecting things to work for him is part of his personality.

He is the Michael Jordan of throwing his head back in frustration.


Idk if that’s related but I’ve been holding onto that one for a while.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Wow what a fresh new look!

Lav is really cooking

 

[Raspewtin]

hot take but Kakko has earned a healthy scratch IMO

he has absolutely butchered offense the last few games. every touch he has is a turnover.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

How about merch? I bet sales are down.

I’d have to think so. I know my Miller jersey may be going to goodwill soon lol. I buy it. He hocks a lugie and has sucked ever since. It could be all my fault.

We have tons of fancy stats indicating Fox is alright, but we can see with the number of throwing his head backs this year he is not fine.

Nice to see them rally around Mika after another panic attack.

I generally don't blame Lav for this but he's scrambling
