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

[GoAwayPanarin]

Sure sure sure. We should trade Igor and Fox for Juulsen and Raty though.

Cozens is good. Add Lindgren and get Samuelsson too. He is hurt a lot, but when he plays he seems capable.

Samuelsson sucks healthy or injured.

he is giant Lindgren.

 

[UnSandvich]

I'd put a claim in for Dermott. His numbers are a little misleading. He was paired with Darnell Nurse for the majority of his time on ice. Anything away from him and he has been okay.

Worst case is he is a cheap depth LHD. With Miller getting hurt and no knowing the severity, you're down to Lindgren/Jones/Vaak. Might even help facilitate a move with Lindgren so you don't have to worry about having enough bodies on the backend.

tbf, it's not just a Nurse thing, he hasn't been great the last few years. Negative Goal, shot, and xGs relative to his team in each of the last 3 years. Only one season with an xG% north of +1.5%

 

[Guyute]

JT Miller doesn't exactly sound like a guy that's thrilled to be returning to the Canucks tonight. Maybe the rumors that he wants out are true.

It will be interesting to see how he plays going forward.

Fair. Numbers seem good on a bad team though and every time I have seen him I've never thought he was that bad. But I will confess that is very few viewings.

Cozens is good though and we should go for that. If the Wild are in fact dumb and want to trade Rossi, we should do that too. If they trade him they deserve to be the playoff Sabres forever. Make the playoffs, get shit kicked in round 1.

listening to Coach John Goyans break down the Rangers defensive woes going all the way back to the St. Louis game.
He called the team defensive strategy “Hoping and a Poking”.
Talked about the team having no sense of what to do when the puck is in their defensive trapezoid.
Looked up and found that Phil Housley retired in 2002/03 and the NHL Trapezoid Rule didn’t take effect until 2005/06.
This could be the problem.
Starts at the 18:00 mark:

Still havent heard Housley mentioned from any of the beat writers as someone that may potentially be on the hot seat. Not sure why everyone is so silent on this.

NHL network questioning NYR playing man Dfense, saying they should switch to a zone, I have been wondering this for years. We always want big physical d men and crucify them when they can't play a good man to man d. Then we get puck movers and wonder why they can't clear the front of the net. Is this a HC thing or is Housley making this decision?

 

[duhmetreE]

Lindgren and Kakko. What LHD does that get us?

Is Kakko for Walman fair value?

I think we need to shoot a little higher than Walman. Good player though.

That upgrade could come with a KAM trade.

I’m just trying to fill out the top4 with an actual good player and getting rid of Lindgren

Laviolette will be occupying Tocchet and Berube's chair on TNT by the time the 4 nations rolls around.

damn, you were in love with the Laviolette hire when it happened. it's only been 16 months, what happened? realized you were wrong again just like you were wrong about Trouba (and most other things)?

Give Vince a couple of days to login here for his talking points. It’ll catch on eventually.

Darren Pang reported yesterday that we switched our NZ system and switched to man and was questioning why when our system last year was sucessful.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Seems Couzens is available. Rangers need to make that move. What would it take? Chytil and Kakko? Just Chytil? Just Kakko? Z waive? Either way I'd get him.

Chytil is better than horse face . I’d trade Kakk for him tho

Miller is signed through 2030.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

I want 1972 Yvan Cournoyer, Steve Shutt, and Bunny Laraque to back up Shesty. Throw in Gorts as Team President.

Then demote Drury to GM only, and watch more truculance in the owners suite, than on the ice.

I want LaPointe, Savard, Van Boxmeer and Robinson would settle for Hajt, Shoenfeld, Korab and Guevrmont.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

One thing that confuses me on JT Miller. If he is indeed a locker room malcontent, as these reports are suggesting, why on earth would I want him here?

This locker room is in shambles, do I really need to add another guy to the mix?

At the very least maybe he'll make Mika's life a living nightmare

I’d like to see what Vaak can do before moving anyone.

Aside from Lindgren. He could be waived tomorrow and I’d be okay with it.

 

[Daves a mess]

Haha. Western Conference GMs calling on the Rangers and they are interested in Cuylle, Mancini, and Gabe? Shocker

Funny stuff out there.

I know we aren't trading Adam Fox, but for poop and yuckles, I wonder what a package he and Kaapo would get ya.

Bern. Stay tf away.

My brain can't handle what you'd hit me with.

 

[Machinehead]

I know we aren't trading Adam Fox, but for poop and yuckles, I wonder what a package if he and Kaapo would get ya.

Bern. Stay tf away.

My brain can't handle what you'd hit me with.

A package of Adam Fox and Kaapo Kakko would get you whatever Adam Fox by himself would get you.

You mean you don't understand the value of a 2029 6th round pick?

 

[will1066]

Kakko's gonna bust out at 4 Nations and you'll be sorry. You hear?

 

[Mikachu93]

A package of Adam Fox and Kaapo Kakko would get you whatever Adam Fox by himself would get you.

The equivalent of selling a house on beachfront property and then asking the buyer how much extra they would pay for it if you left behind the old treadmill that is in the basement.
