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

[HatTrick Swayze]

Nemeth? Igor? Goodrow?

Igor and Mika. Both completely unmoveable.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

How do the Rangers get out of this situation is the tricky part?

By actually sticking to the original plan.

Re-f***ing-build. It'll take many years but it has to be done.

 

[Hockeyplayer99]

Rangers are going nowhere next year if we bave a defense of Soucy, Borgan, Vaak, jones, Dehaan, Ruhwedal, Miller. We can’t throw out a bunch of # 6-7 defenseman worst defense in the league

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Kreider is a goner, which is sad. But the return should be sweet.

Key can be moved, doesn't work out and I guess we arent willing to wait any longer. Should fetch a decent pick at the draft. If not re-sign and trade next season depending on how it goes.

JT has two more years with an NMC, after that, I'm taking the best offer and running.

Laf ... one to two years, if he doesn't improve, he should get dealt to MTL for a massive haul.

Zibs ... should continue on the right wing. Can't be dealt. Not gonna entertain waiving fantasies.

We're stuck with Fox and Shesty. Which isn't the worst thing, but without more game-changing talent (speed!!) we're never going to get the Cup.

Now that we have the 'e' next to us in the standings, and Hartford is also missing the playoffs, call up all the kids they can for the last two games.

 

[Riche16]

This team has officially revealed its true colors

Never, ever should've gotten past the Pens or Hurricanes yrs ago

Tampa stompin us all the time.

Devs laughing at us in our building in the following playoffs

Panthers just above our paygrade

Team never rebuilt properly... NO YOUNG CENTERS. NOT EVER

DO it right or don't with this shit team.

President: Don Maloney
GM: Mathieu Darche
HC: Todd Nelson


Kreider, Zibanejad, K'Andre - off the team

I heard the same thing about Trouba and Goodrow though

 

[EdJovanovski]

Hope we scratch the vets to tank/give the kids an opportunity for the next couple games. Would love to see Perreault, Rempe, Berard & Othmann all in the top 9. Give em PP time too, experiment with Rempe screening the goalie.

Perreault - Miller - Berard
Cuylle - Trocheck - Lafreniere
Othmann - Carrick - Rempe
Roobroeck - Parssinen - Brodzinski

In my opinion, there little reason to play Miller or Trochek at this point. It’s ugly but Brodzinski, Parssinen, Carrick, Roobreck are my centers. I’d even likely call up Laba too along with Chmelar.

Cuylle-Brodzinski-Lafreniere
Perrault-Carrick-Othmann
Laba-Parssinen-Berard
Chmelar-Roobreck-Rempe

Yea I have been a critic of both of them, I think they're both more deserving of a scratch than Panarin. I just figured the logistics wouldn't allow for that many scratches & call ups lol

I'd disagree, I'd rather ensure the kids we want to try and make the team next season don't get injured in the next week.

 

[bleedblue94]

Start turning the roster over in the next game, any vets that are hurt let them heal up, and any of the divas that wrecked this season bench their asses. I gave them the noose to hang themselves and they did it by missing the playoffs despite all their bullshit. Time to move on

 

[UnparalledPark]

I wish the team had kept him but when he left, he was viewed as a 3rd pairing guy and when he was acquired people lamented his acquisition because of his underlying numbers.

I know we were tight under the cap back then, but I was so hoping they wouldn’t sign Lindgren and keep Mikkola, but I knew it was a pipe dream.

There were some of us who agreed with that too. Trade Lindgren for assets, retain Mikkola.

Why isn't anyone talking about Fox's goal totals anymore as to why he sucks ass?

 

[IDvsEGO]

Why isn't anyone talking about Fox's goal totals anymore as to why he sucks ass?

Because fox isn't a goal scorer
He could score zero goals and on its own it wouldn't be a negative trend in his play

Pulse says the Rangers are dead; I'm just enjoying the drinks until I see what wild man Drury does next

 

[DanielBrassard]

I have zero confidence in Drury to do the right thing this offseason and going forward, he’s shown he has no idea how to construct a sustainable, winning roster. Rangers future looks pretty bleak in the near term.

I'd be remiss not giving a shout-out to Adam Fox for playing at 60% of his ability level of late, a big increase over the 40% he played at for most of the year.

Great job, Adam!

So hard to tell if his ass is on the line or not yet. It should be. That might not mean much though.

Seems like it’s not. Which is a real shame, he’s a f***ing disaster.

 

[Leonardo87]

Because Fox isn’t the issue on this team. He is one of the guys you keep.
