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

[Daves a mess]

I think the plague was known for contact actually

I wouldn't plague him at all.

 

[Atax]

If I were Kakko I'd ask for a trade. Benched for bums.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

I think I like this?

Kakko for a rental of Greenway is nothing I'd consider doing.

Because the waive was done purposely to be claimed by teams he won't waive his clause for. This wasn't to send Goodrow to the minors if nobody claimed him, they weren't going to eat 1million while spending another million on a call-up worse than Goodrow. When big contracts/bad contracts are on waivers, they typically pass because nobody wants them and then they stay on the NHL roster, they aren't used to facilitate a movement around one blocked by the player. From all reports, Goodrow was even willing to play fair, and Drury pulled this last minute on him. If you really think about it, what good is having a M-NTC if a team can just put you on waivers for a team on that list to claim you? You may as well just get rid of it and only allow NMC. It's 100% shady. Drury using what was available to him doesn't make it not shady.

Have we ever stopped to think about how ridiculous it is for a guy like Goodrow to get a NTC? Bottom 6 guys shouldn't be getting those contracts no matter how many rings are on his finger.

Coleman Goodrow and Gourde all cashed out and have shown zilch since.

Everyone who wants to trade Kakko for Greenway, please identify yourselves, so the rest of us may block you.

The shame of it is, Kakko probably really cares about being a Ranger. We drafted him and made him a second class citizen at the expense of the veterans since before minute 1. He's not ultimately a very good player, but it is some bullshit. I love his comments 'it's easy to blame the young guys". Shots fired.

 

[Raspewtin]

I don't want to trade Kakko for Greenway but that's probably in the ballpark of what he's really worth, tbh

 

[noupf]

I'm onboard if they can sign him to an extension. Kakko is a bust and will never reach anywhere near his 2nd overall pick expectations. Is KK an NHL'er, yes, will he be an impactful one.....no. You can get guys like him anywhere, anytime moving forward. At least Jordan Greenway could provide some snarl with putting up almost the same points as KK.

Coleman hasn’t had less than 31 points, in 55 games, since going to CGY and had 54 points last season. Gourde put up two 48 point seasons. We just got the shitty one out of the three. Of course.

 

[Atax]

Go Kakko. I actually want to see the young guys start calling out the vets more. Let there be a revolution on the team.

Yes, another crappy third liner.

 

[Mike in Houston]

AV (Buchnevich) - "I just felt it was the right thing to do."

Lavioletdown (Kakko) - "I needed to do something".

 

[toNYRico]

Extend Kakko. Give him a letter. Trade Kreider.

 

[Machinehead]

Look at the state of that hair

 

[McRanger92]

Go Kakko. I actually want to see the young guys start calling out the vets more. Let there be a revolution on the team.

Next I want Laf and Cuylle to ask why they arent on PP1 when they've both doubled Kreider's production so far this year.

 

[Atax]

Can you imagine?
Chytil: "The young guys worked their butts off to get us back in the game. Not sure why the rest of my line didnt see the ice with 2 minutes left in the game."

He was stapled to the Top Six & PP1 in the start of his rookie season, he played himself off of it.

He keeps hearing his name attached to NYR and it’s just been coming out in clumps.

That's more than Vaakanainen

 

[kovazub94]

Goodrow is on year 4 of a 6 year deal.
The deal was heavily front loaded and was designed to be moved.
players and agents are 100% aware of how structuring a deal makes it easier or harder to move.
They’re also aware of the difference between no trade and no move.

and before anyone forgets Goodrow agent leaked that teams were offering very specific numbers after the rangers made that trade for his rights.
Goodrow got his, and now wants to whine?

Goodrow was brought in to teach the kids how to win. Job concluded. What was he left to do on the roster? He wasn’t positively contributing on the ice.

Apparently winning 2 SC vs 2 trios to ECF is the difference in what acceptable or not acceptable ways to reshape a roster

Im no Kakko defender, but he hasnt gotten the rope he shouldve been afforded.

 

[Machinehead]

Vaakanainen has the nice shaved look going.

It's the hanging on for dear life that's a bad look.

yeah Kaako ain't taking anymore crap
