Speculation: Roster Building Thread : Part XV (Light em up!)

[McRanger92]

Guys I found our Kakko replacement!

EF said on 32T Vegas will be active at the deadline. EF mentioned Vegas/Kelly McCrimmon will go get a winger or two. One of The Athletic guys mentioned Vegas will look at add two forwards. I think was Chris Johnston.

Kreider would be perfect for them. Kreider has two more seasons remaining. They like players with term like Hertl. Eichel.

Suzuki for Pacioretty with one year remaining and they gave him a new contract.

Vegas doesn't like rentals very much. When Vegas trades for a potential rental, they intend to sign the player. Stone. Barbashev. Hanifin. They acquire the player for a rental price and sign the player long-term.

One of their players would need to come up with an injury for LTIR for the money to work. Stone and Barbashev have missed time with injury this season. Vegas has already traded their next two first round picks. 2025 for Hertl and 2026 for Hanifin.

What would Vegas send to the Rangers?

Hague? Upcoming RFA and they've already paid Hanifin, McNabb and Theodore in the last calendar year.

Many on this board have decided Will Cuylle is a 3rd liner.

 

[Good Intentions]

I think he needs/needed a president above him in the worst way. He’s a fine operative but he needs help with the big picture stuff.

What makes Drury a fine operative? Is it the 90s NE regional USA hockey family nepotism?

How this guy was ever a captain is beyond me. He’s an insecure little shit. Not a difficult read. When I look and hear from Drury I see Belichick’s awkwardness. And Borgen isn’t Brady.

Elliotte used the words "rebuild" and "teardown ". A change of your roster. No coach is going in there right now and winning with this group playing for this organization. It's broken. This situation can't be fixed.

Pool Party is on waivers, might be worth a gamble

I'd do it just to send down Berard. Not that I don't think NHL time would be good for him, but this situation is so bad, you need to get these younger guys out of here for their own sake.

Doroyofev? Connelly?

 

[McRanger92]

Doroyofev? Connelly?

Is the shine off Brisson? I remember people wanting him in his draft year.

 

[Machinehead]

Finishing: 87
Points: 98
Impact : 76

Cuylle is a good player and 76 is good!!

All I'm saying is, let that batter settle into the pan before you decide what it is.

yeah, he hasn't done much as a pro.

Maybe Hague as a 3LD?

 

[Kords]

Kreids for Howden

 

[cheech70]

Garand on way out?

If you think his replacement is coming from outside the Ol' Boys Club, I have a bridge to sell you.

 

[Trxjw]

Garand on way out?

Or on his way up because Igor wants to shower during the game tonight.

 

[Machinehead]

Tbh Howden still sucks.

And the Knights slip further and further into being PDO merchants with each passing year.

 

[McRanger92]

Garand on way out?

Nooooo we can't trade an AHL goalie with backup upside despite signing Igor for a decade!

Idk what you could even get for garand that would make him worth trading. Probably just an injury callup for Hartford.

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

Kreids for Howden

That might very well be the most Ranger thing in the history of the franchise.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

It's almost January and Kreider has ONE f***ING ASSIST.

How is that even possible???

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Doroyofev? Connelly?

It won’t be a Russian.

Connelly is a bit of a dope but he’s talented.

It's easy when you don't skate hard.

 

[UnparalledPark]

The guys he’s passing to aren’t scoring goals. Next question?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This league has a restrictive hard cap that has barely moved at all in 5 years. Drury's hands were basically tied with all the NMCs, partly his own fault. As fans, we bitch all the time that as an organization they don't do all the things within their control to improve the team.

I'm not a Drury guy, but finally our GM takes an unorthodox approach to improve the team by dumping overpaid dead weight without attaching assets, nor retaining money & the fans are up in arms because we have a bunch of whiny spoiled brats that rule the locker room. I don't get it.

I know you give me shit for my goalie posts sometimes but I wish I could frame this post and hang it on a wall in my apartment.

 

[Levitate]

It's almost January and Kreider has ONE f***ING ASSIST.

If his back is that f***ed he should sit and get healthy. Let's not bitch about how disrespectful it is to sit him if he's so injured he looks like absolute shit out there and is doing nothing

 

[Filip Chytil]

Rangers sign Toews and hire Joel Q? Lure Duncan Keith out of retirement to be Fox's partner?
