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

[McRanger92]

I have liked Borgen and Vaakanainen on D since theyve come in. We need to replace Lindgren and Miller with guys who can skate and dont mind playing physical like new guys. If we can find a guy who can do that for 20 minutes a night it will solve a lot of our problems. Marcus Pettersson is the guy to trade for and extend.

I think Kaliyev will help. Guy fighting for his NHL career gets a fresh start. At least Drury is bringing in new faces. I dont like the sound of Kreider's back injury. Othmann and Kaliyev are 2 big body shooters in the bottom 6.

 

[haohmaru]

the difference is those guys stink.

also - we only started losing once Goodrow left. something to chew on

Yes, he and his four goals were absolutely the key to the President's Trophy season.

He also has 4 points (2 goals) in 37 games this year.

Something else to "chew on".

Feel like the play is stick Kaliev with Panarin and let Laf play his natural LW with Mika.

skate and physical D... how about someone who can f***ing defend and start a breakout

 

[Vitto79]

The price is right - so he is worth a shot , but........
Kaaliyev lacks speed and is considered a poor skater which the Rangers seem to have a fetish for.

Edstrom and Berard are fast
Not like they aernt trying to add speed

The new guys have done it well so far. It's the guys who have been here that have had the nuclear turnovers recently.

Kind of a small sample size, but I would agree Drury is more focused on size and speed than his predecessors.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Kaliyev is such an obvious waiver claim to make. Body who can fill in once some of these trades go down. Big 23 year old winger. 825k cap hit expiring after this season so no commitment. So Drury clearly wont do it.

But wait lol

 

[Rangers in 7]

Btw just wanted to add that the handling of trouba and goodrow will have no effect on future signings at all

And if you think that I have beach front property to sell you in the Atlantic

 

[egelband]

Lindgren is pretty much just potatoes

Mashed potatoes

 

[egelband]

Kings putting arthur kaliyev on waivers. Would be a cheap great claim of a natural scorer that those imbiciles have tried to ruin

Nice call!

 

[ReddestRum]

Rangers will never not be the team that continues to pick up rentals and strays.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

This team isn't trading Panarin, he's our only elite forward

 

[LOFIN]

Not a shitty idea. Laf is stale at the moment. Kaliyev needs a facilitator. Panarin is the best one we have.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Accidental, but decent hit.

 

[BBKers]

Rozo (17 goals) and Rakell (18 goals) have so far out performed Panarin (16 goals) this year. This is truly the Matrix of Misery

 

[RangerBoy]

Well he's on a shit team right now with 40 points in 37 games and had a ppg in the playoffs last year. If a contending team was ADDING him to their team, he's the type of piece that propels a team through a series by himself if he gets hot.

When has Panarin been that type of player in the playoffs?

 

[RangerBoy]

Rick and Donnie in Vancouver were discussing the JT Miller and Elias Petterrson dynamic. These two guys have been feuding since Travis Green was the coach who last coached the Canucks in 21-22. Actually Green was fired on December 5, 2021. Three seasons ago. It's ridiculous. You don't have to be Mats Zuccarello and Mika Zibamejad and love your teammates. They should be able to work it out for the betterment of the team. They also brought JT might be jealous of Petey's contract. $11.6M vs $8M.

 

[Profet]

The next iteration of the this team is going to be the early to mid 2010's teams all over again.

They have a lot of sandpaper and a lot of guys who are safe bets to be NHL contributors.

Elite talent is almost non-existent.

Granted, those teams had some good runs but they had a few really lucky trades and stumbled upon the perfect mix of players for what they had. It's the hard of way of doing things like it always is here.

And they had a coach who knew what he had, and used a system that played to the personnel's strengths.

I feel like ever since Torts, we just had coaches who either just threw players over the boards with no guidance, or forced them to play a system that wasnt suited for the roster.

 

[McRanger92]

Accidental, but decent hit.

Rangers have too many guys who get put on their ass when they get hit, so it's nice to see Kaliyev is at least a hunk of beef guys will bounce off.

 

[NYR Viper]

When has Panarin been that type of player in the playoffs?

This isn't the point though. He still hovers around a ppg in the playoffs. People talk about him like he scores 5 points over 20 games all of a sudden., I guarantee you that there are teams, and I'd say quite a few, who see him as a guy who could come in and propel their currently very good team to a Stanley Cup. Even if he 'only' puts up a ppg or close to it

I don't remember him being a physical player. You can't base that from 1 hit. Apparently Kings fans didn't like that he had size but wasn't aggressive or physical consistently. 33 hits in 51 games last season is awful

I didn't say anything about throwing hits. I said he wont get knocked down when taking them. He sent McJesus flying there. 6'2 220.

He's definitely more of a guy who uses his size down low than he is throwing massive hits. He's pretty good in the cycle game and at coming off the walls to take shots
