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

John Scott is correct

I mean at this point if I’m the owner I fire Drury, fire Lavy either now or at the end of the season, and try to trade literally everybody except Laf, Foxy, and Igor. Whatever the result, it can’t be worse than what’s happening right now.

Dolan will fire Drury and proceed to order the new GM to ad at the deadline. He wants that sweet playoff revenue.

Wouldnt surprise me if Slats will get the interim gig.

I'd love to pry Khusnutdinov out of there but probably not realistic even if he's buried.

If I had to guess probably something dumb like Stramel.

Minny has a few interesting prospects(buium, heidt, ohgren etc…) but you’re absolutely right it’ll be someone like stramel or lambos. High pick who isn’t living up to expectations or shouldn’t have been a 1st rounder.

There is a real chance we are in the bottom ~5 in the league in a month.

Brooks mentioned the Rangers tough stretch. Playing 11 games against teams in playoff position out of the next 14 games. The first two games were against St. Louis and Nashville. I figured the Rangers would find a way to beat Nashville because they are a bad team. The Rangers found a way to beat Buffalo. The Rangers dropped both games. The Hawks have defeated the Rangers, Islanders twice and the Capitals in the last 9 days.

Seven straight games against teams currently in playoff spots. Chicago. Four more games against teams currently in playoff spots. The Vegas and Colorado games are part of a three games road trip. Utah is the last game and they have a 73% chance of making the playoffs.

Let’s be honest, if your best young players are Lafreniere, Chytil, Cuylle, and Schneider, your team is not going anywhere in the future. Another rebuild is probably the Rangers only recourse.

It’s hilarious. We sent out a letter detailing our plans to suffer for a while but to build a long term winner.

And those are the only pieces we got out of the whole thing. We wasted, failed to develop, frittered away every other asset.

So flippin’ tired of the apologists who blame the young prospects for not developing properly. It’s organizational. And this team doesn’t know how yo develop youth.

They’re not rebuilding lol

They should

Just get rid of the vets over the next year

That would constitute rebuilding. Keeping Fox, Lafreniere, Schneider and (unfortunately) Shesterkin doesn’t mean you aren’t rebuilding.

Kreider should have been out of here two weeks ago.

Billy Guerin seems to have done a good job. Had some bad contracts. Getting Kirill sure helps. Who is the next Guerin?

Labeling it means nothing. The Rangers have every intention of making the playoffs next year. They didn’t sign Igor, Fox and Laf forever to trade everyone. Changes will be good for this team, idk why everyone acts like the sky is falling.

Well then they’ve not learned very much of anything. So the team has never been good enough to win a Cup and their answer is to move out the losers for pennies on the dollar and then come back next year equally as untalented but leaner? They need to add tons of young talent to this organization. Thats largely done through the draft.
