Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XLV

[pld459666]

Guhle is a name I have not heard come up. So that's news to me.

What names HAVE come up??

 

[pld459666]

if Lundell is a player that has to learn to be more assertive, then id take a pass.

We need guys that are assertive by nature. If its not there and you have to "learn" to be more assertive, then its more likely you lack that component in your game.

I don't know much about this kid, but this was mentioned earlier in this thread and struck a chord.

What names HAVE come up??

Names they've supposedly liked include Holtz, Lundell, Sanderson, Holloway. I think Rossi is probably up there. They like Drysdale.

I could see guys like Jarvis, Mercer, and Amirov being on their list.

I know they like Neighbors.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

for everyone too lazy to do that

Coming in late

Pirate???

Has to do with lundqvist retiring or being bought out to play in sweden next season

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Coming in late

Pirate???

Me too, couple of prospect possibilities. One is a guy with a black beard that would put Burns' and Thornton's to shame, the second is a guy with a tendency to take hooking penalties.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Pirates Anthem... Home T... Home Team.

Whether bought out or retired, Lundqvist is playing for Frolunda next year.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

From what ive read he is a offensive dman who like to hit but is not sound defensively or positionaly.

Not what i want or what we need more of on this team.

He was the go to D on the best defensive team in the CHL.

Defense is definitely his bread and butter. It's the offense/transition game that is questionable with him though he's got a cannon.

He's like Jake Sanderson but a step or 2 behind everywhere (and more than that in transition where Sanderson is elite as f***) except for hitting people and the shot, I'd give him the edge there. He's rail thin and has so much room to fill out which gives him that beast potential down the road. I'd be more than okay taking him with the Carolina/TOR pick if hes still around.

But hes not someone I'd be looking at in the top 10. McKenzie's consensus had him at #14 so he isn't entirely out of range (and if the Rangers love Sanderson, I can see them being pretty high on Guhle) but he's still too much of a project with all of the forward talent that will be available.

But @BBKers clarified his statement so I don't think we're taking him that high. In the early 20's hes got potential to be a real steal.

What was the context surrounding this? Because it's a weird comment

 

[TheBloodyNine]

I'd be all about Guhle with the second 1st.

 

[UnSandvich]

Definitely don't want Guhle with our pick, with CAR/TOR's it depends who's on the board. AK's definitely swayed me on Gunler, but I think a guy like Lukas Reichel could end up looking like an absolute steal. Or maybe a guy like Brisson or Khusnutdinov

I prefer Reichel over Lundell, so yes please.

Kushnutdinov at that spot would make me very happy as well.

 

[UnSandvich]

Addendum to my previous post:

Unless Drysdale/Sanderson fall to our pick I think we should avoid taking a Dman in the 1st round. Instead I'd like to try to get SJ's 2nd for Strome/Georgiev, and possibly another mid-to-high 2nd for the other one, and grab a guy like Eamon Powell in the 2nd

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Would you trade Lafreniere and Georgiev for #3, #5 and the Islanders first round pick?

 

[GAGLine]

Guhle im ehh on. He seems like another DeAngelo. A defender who can play offensively but doesnt seem to know how to defend

The scouting reports I've read indicate that he is the exact opposite of DeAngelo. Much bigger, though still a good skater, and better defensively than offensively.

Mynhldraft.com has him going to us, but with the 23rd pick.

 

[howztheglass]

Would you trade Lafreniere and Georgiev for #3, #5 and the Islanders first round pick?

Would have to think long and hard on this.

If Lafreniere was a center no way but one thing we know is the Rangers for some reason don't draft kids from the Q.

Just don't know if you pass on Lafreniere....

3 and 5 gets you 2 kids--I'm no draft expert but Stutzle/Rossi/Perfetti and then Drysdale/Sanderson. After that we have 2 additional picks in the first round--lets just say Jarvis/Zary/Mysak all centers.

One draft if they all worked out--big IF--would defiantly increase our prospect pool.

 

[rangers1314]

Would you trade Lafreniere and Georgiev for #3, #5 and the Islanders first round pick?

Yes, probably.

 

[rangers1314]

Is Holloway looked at as a C or W?

 

[BKGooner]

Would you trade Lafreniere and Georgiev for #3, #5 and the Islanders first round pick?

I would take chayotes and a 2nd instead of the islander pick.

 

[BKGooner]

Chabot

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

A D....

As in Do Not Draft.

But his best play last year came as a Wing.

 

[rangers1314]

Wow really? Why would you have him as a do not draft?

 

[Graves94]

We have no second round pick this year, correct? If so, and if Hank is staying next year, i'd try trading Geo + to get a second rounder.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

There is a lot of talent in the second round that I would love the Rangers to snag just one of them. I hope they manage to get a 2nd somehow

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Maybe not drafting kids from the Q has been the problem that is if they aren't scouting them properly or blatantly avoiding them.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I think Geo can get one on his own. I'd be interested to see if Lias could though.
