Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XL

[Savant]

Dunn probably would cost Canes 1st. Not saying I wouldn’t do it, but to set expectations.
And they can sign him on a cheap bridge like Rangers did with DeAngelo.

Unless they move one of Pietrangelo, Parayko and Faulk, Dunn goes unprotected in the expansion draft. He might be available for less than a 1st.

Blues don’t have to do any of that. Rangers don’t have a second, and even if that was their best offer they can get out bid. Would you have taken less than a 1st for DeAngelo? Didn’t think so

Are you proposing the Blues protect 4D?
The rangers aren't setting the price for Dunn, it doesn't matter what picks we dont have.
Deangelo >>> Dunn.
Rangers aren't in jeopardy of losing one of our top-4 D in the expansion draft. Maybe Hajek.

 

[NYR Viper]

The Rangers don’t have an expansion protection spot either for Dunn

Blues mod says #23OA + good prospect

*If they protect Lindgren.

I guess Gorton and Armstrong have their marching orders then.

*If they protect Lindgren.

And if we somehow got Dunn it'd be a fairly easy decision on who to protect.

I'd protect Lindgren.

 

[aufheben]

I'd protect Lindgren.

To be fair though I really don't like the idea of losing Lindgren.

That also figures into play. I’m bad at projecting expansion. What protection projection are you working with

 

[Savant]

Define good prospect? I think 23OA straight up is perfectly cromulent

Aside from losing Lindgren, my concern with Dunn is that he's actually the player people are talking about when they bring up soft usage.

Trouba *NMC
DeAngelo
Lindgren

That's the 3 you protect if they are on the team. If we acquire a defenseman who is eligible, you have to choose between him and Lindgren

At the risk of sounding like a noob. Can’t they protect 4D

Good prospect for us that isn't untouchable is probably Kravtsov, so say a little less than Kravtsov to counter bias.

 

[aufheben]

I think they changed it to 7F/3D/1G or 8F/1G, which is baloney. I guess they can throw Seattle a draft pick if they agree not to take Lindgren.

 

[Savant]

I think they changed it to 5F/3D/1G or 8F/1G, which is baloney.

That’s really dumb. That’s better than Vegas

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

At the risk of sounding like a noob. Can’t they protect 4D

They can, but they can only protect 4 forwards then.

8S + 1G

or

7F + 3D + 1G

 

[Savant]

Yeah I’m good in that unless it like Pajuniemi or lower. 1st round pick on it’s own is plenty

 

[aufheben]

They can, but they can only protect 4 forwards then.

8F + 1G

or

7F + 3D + 1G

Is it 8 forwards or 8 skaters?

 

[aufheben]

I think the 1st could get most of it done.

 

[Savant]

I might rather go 4F and 4D based on who would be exempt on the forward end. If I’m getting it right

This conversation is getting tired. It isn't a real estate forum. Those statistics come from East Hartford. I highly doubt Wolf Pack players are venturing into East Hartford for any purpose. You're really getting off the rails from the what affect Hartford had on Lias.

The kid had/has a mental health condition. Which isn't unusual for most NHLers due to all that goes into being a professional. A family friend started the mental health program for the Leafs just a couple years ago. Their AHL arena is a stone's throw from the NHL arena and she describes similar struggles for the kids that Lias experienced. Those challenges can arise in any locale even with the best available resources.

Real Estate? Who mentioned the value or cost of houses? Nobody

i mentioned the mental health of Lias and us not knowing what was going on in his head. Miss that too?

i get it, defend Hartford lol. Thanks but i’ve lived in CT all my life so save it
