Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XLVI

[Rangers394]

Getting him this year would probably mean losing Lindgren in the expansion draft next year though. Might be a move it's better waiting a year.

In that case, wait a year. Lindgren looks like he can be a solid player for us. Not losing him

 

[Rangers394]

I know there is a lot of time but i'm sure management will want to get things figured out sooner than later, especially the goaltending situation. I wonder when we will know what will happen with Hank since i think his decision will tell us if we are moving Georgiev or not.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

it ain’t the two kids I can promise you that

and I also think he may be talking about Quinn. I really do. Just like Rutherford is clearly talking about his coach

I think he is talking about Strome, D'Angelo, Staal, Mckegg and Digueseppi. I never got any inclination that he was talking about staff.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Max Domi is not the answer. Give a C that plays some defense as well.

People are too infatuated with personalities here, he's average at best but he is a Domi so everyone loves him.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Based on JD's comments today, they are committed to making Brett Howden a thing

I guess you gotta give them credit for trying

 

[TheTakedown]

I just spoke with a good source. That I have not spoken with for very long. Knows the NYR organization extremely well. He personally thinks we draft Lafreniere as #1. Strome, Lias and Hajek will all likely be moved. Georgiev maybe. ADA too, if the right deal is there. Buch gets a pass Until TDL 2021. Staal likely bought Out. Hank retires (this is not my pirate source that knows These things much better). Smith might actually stay around. Got some praise actually. Our Carolina pick is in play, for sure. Lots of other possibilities - but so many variables. Going to be Lots of unexpected things happening in the cap strapped era. Gotta be cool as a cucumber . Buckle up as we enter the age of corona

Great info as always. Is there any news on Anderson and what could happen with him?

 

[Thirty One]

In that case, wait a year. Lindgren looks like he can be a solid player for us. Not losing him

I guess if they trade Buch, either in that trade or outside of it, they could protect 8 players instead of 7F/3D.
Panarin
Zibanejad
Kreider
Chytil
DeAngelo
Trouba
Lindgren
Brodin

Why wouldn't they? He's still young and does have potential. Need to be patient and see what he can turn into. What's the rush?

 

[cheech70]

Would there be anyway to get a bigger deal of Brodin & Greenway from the Wild? No idea what it would include but would help our LD & C situation and Greenway played for Quinn. Maybe something around Strome, next years first and something else was dealt to the wild?

No trading of 1st

Just not seeing it. Will still never understand why it was him and not Lias as the 'great chosen fourth liner'.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

They can't just keep McKegg/sign some other old warm body for the 4th line/13th forward and protect him? I always forget how this works

 

[Raspewtin]

I'm prepared to be really annoyed with whoever wins the lottery today

good call dipshit!

Or they like him as a person and see no reason to say "this guy sucks" to the media, or maybe they want to still have the opportunity to trade him in the future, or maybe (most likely) some combination of all those things

 

[Thirty One]

They can protect one goalie and either:
- 7 forwards and 3 defensemen, or
- 8 skaters

Kakko, Lafreniere, Kravstov, Shesterkin, Fox exempt.

There are requirements for players to be exposed, and McKegg could play into it, but it's normally pretty easy to fulfill and is of less concern than protecting all the players you want.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Or maybe he isn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be.

 

[mas0764]

To the people suggesting we trade for a C: if he isn’t on a ELC then I don’t want him

My preference would be to get an ELC center or prospect that projects to be a high 2 or low 1.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Or they like him as a person and see no reason to say "this guy sucks" to the media, or maybe they want to still have the opportunity to trade him in the future, or maybe (most likely) some combination of all those things

I mean they clearly don’t think he sucks, as evidence by their comments and Quinn’s handling of him

 

[Alluckks]

Brodin will likely be moved by the Wild prior to the Expansion Draft though because of their situation on D for protection. Someone will trade for him, whether that is us or not.

Wild would likely want prospects/pick/exempt stuff from the Expansion Draft. Robertson + Howden or something might be able to get it done to be honest. Could also see a ADA move made then to ensure we don't unnecessarily lose a D in the Expansion Draft.

ADA + Strome for Monahan? Flames are losing both Brodie and Hamonic from their right side after this year. Georgiev could find his way into that deal as well, they need a future at goalie.

Outside of Tkachuk, Monohan is the most untouchable flame outside of a massive overpayment

I'm game.

 

[NYSPORTS]

i see a lot of Craig Janney in him from the skate blade down.

 

[Ola]

Does that even work cap wise? Just curious lol.

Almost! If Staal and Smith is bought out.

 

[Ola]

I feel like we're all glossing over Georgiev at $3.85.

Lol, is it high or low? Is he a No 1 goalie on a team making the POs, almost, or the No 3 on one of the worst teams in the play-ins?
