Speculation: Roster Building thread: Part XIX (Thanks, Sam)

[MrAlmost]

I could actually see Z and Kreider to Minnesota for Rossi. They have a ton of cap space and need more top of the lineup guys. I would be surprised, but it would make sense.

Ew no that Australian midget is not what we need

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Rossi would be good but people would complain about him almost immediately regarding his size

Haha. If Minnesota did it they would have an awesome lineup from top to bottom, forward to defense.

Lafreniere has gone from 0.7ppg to 0.6ppg. Tro has gone from 0.9ppg to 0.7ppg. What's MOST disappointing is that we were hoping for progress, while Laf has regressed. Though nowhere near as badly as Kreids, Zib, Pan. The team as a whole has regressed, but Laf has had the least severe drop in points amongst last years top six forward group.
And yes, it's more than just points... for most of the team.

I think Lafs production is ok. Not great but ok. My disappointment has come from his game. Where is the guy that was using his body last season? The guy that was really putting the effort in. The guy you looked forward to watching his shifts. He was hard to handle. This season he seemed to regress back to what he was in previous seasons.

Rempe probably out the rest of the regular season

Someone do a wellness check on Ed

Call up Roobroeck

Perfect time to call up Roobroeck or Chmelar

Brooks and Boyler trashed the Rangers. The mentality is awful. The Rangers look tired and they want to go home. Some players refuse to play a certain way. One man forecheck. No straight lines. Won't or refuse to dump the puck. The team is not very talented. Some high end talent. Many teams have high end talent and they are quicker, faster and younger. Not a great finesse team. They can't play east and west. The PP is terrible.

The woman has a nice face.
Reminds me of the Hollywood Starlets back in the days before my days.

Season over

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Never ended up watching the game. How was the fight?

 

[majordomo]

To be fair to Sully, is there an assistant coach we had that is remembered fondly? I mean Scott Arniel is about to win the President's Trophy with Winnipeg and I remember nothing but complaints about him.

Don't forget Perry Pearn.....

 

[kovazub94]

“injured” Kreider vs. Kings had 19:24 TOI. That’s a huge number for a winger.

Oh, and zero hits. And zero shots. Zero player.

This would be fine on the 4th line. Laviolette did what I thought he'd do as the last resort effort to stay in the payoff race in terms of going with all of JTM, Z and Tro as Cs and introducing yutes into top-9, EXCEPT leaving Kreider in the top-9 too. At this point Kreider can't be anywhere higher than 4th line.

 

[kovazub94]

Rempe for Rossi.

Overpayment. Nothing less than Rossi + 1st

 

[Overcast]

Never ended up watching the game. How was the fight?

There wasn't one. Rempe/Jeannot doe-si-doe'd for about 10-15 seconds, each threw a couple jabs that did no damage either way, and Rempe fell about 5 seconds after the jabs started. Jeannot picked Rempe up by his jersey to continue the fight and Rempe got in another jab or two while the refs were breaking them up.

 

[bobbop]

I might be misremembering, but a lot of people here disliked Sullivan when he was here as assistant.

True!

I really respected that part. Many (not all) NHL fighters are like that.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Argentina soccer great, you mean

Either way, she's a pro at playing with balls.

 

[SA16]

I hated how Sullivan coached at the 4 Nations

The like almost all the coaches when they don't watch them every day and dislike almost all the coaches when they do watch them every day.

 

[JohnC]

I still have nightmares where the team needs a PP goal or a 6v5 goal and Torts sends Sully over to the guys with his whiteboard

That’s why it’s better not to really care about coaches

Rempe is a terrible fighter.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Rempe is a terrible fighter.

At least Rempe is willing to fight

#BringHimHome

huge no on Torts

the right disciplinarian, ok.

Not some idiot who thinks a 6 G system, with skaters getting huge wear and tear b'c excess shot blocking = no no no

There was a pitching coach. think he was under billy martin
may have also had time w/A's
this guy got 1-ish yrs great production, but mishandled several pitchers, ruined their careers
name might have been Howe

Torts = that guy

There is a connection between the Rangers and Woodcroft. Woodcroft was a video coach with the Red Wings from 2005-2008 and the Rangers AGM Ryan Martin was the Wings director of hockey administration at that time.

If Knoblach not cut [which would be a surprise], I would be open to Woodcroft

No thanks to Torts. Let him try to figure out Buffalo.

RB’s woodcraft idea is 1000000000 times better.

Totally this^

It's not about scaring players... it's about accountability.

I want a coach that holds players accountable for their shit effort.

This is not addressing the problem
Addressing the prob = listening to bern, NO FUGGIN NMCs to anyone, ever, period, full stop.
THEN, if players are a prob, hands are not tied, regardless of who the coach is

What about Miller for Rossi

I'd like to see what Rossi gets, but remember, most of the time, the good big man > the good little man

think Sykora +

Rempe for Rossi.

NO

Zegras is a CINO at this point a la Stamkos and Pavelski.

I'd rather put Zibanejad back down the middle.

don't get me started, we all see he can't really handle pivot duties
