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

[RangersFan1994]

I think I'm ok with this.
Berard isn't a finished product yet, and major minutes at the AHL level won't hurt his development.
I assume that at worst he'll be back up come the TDL, but wouldn't be surprised at all if it is before that.
Go down, work on the areas you've identified you need to be for best at highest level, and then come back a better player
Groulx deserves the call up and actually dressing for a game or two

I hope he plays enough games to be RFA. Could be underrated center depth which is needed here.

Berard doesn’t deserved get sent down but he’s been gassed recently imo and his play had dipped. He’ll be back. I wonder if they let him do 24 hours in Vegas with the boys?

 

[NYR Viper]

Yeah this isn’t a major issue. Berard had some errors over the last few games and getting big minutes in the AHL will help him for a bit. Groulx has been really good for Hartford so it’s also about getting him an opportunity to show what he has. This also slides Brodzinski over to wing which is a good thing

 

[Vitto79]

I like Bo up but should of been Rempe down not Berard

 

[LokiDog]

If the new website doesn’t become more eyeball friendly, I’m quitting it faster than this team. Jeeeeez please help me.

Want wins, dress Rempe, easy decision

Wait, what?

Berard doesn't deserve the demotion, and Laviolette hates changing the lineup after wins. What is going on here? Did Bretty have a few pops last night and miss the flight today?

Imo it's about our lack of center depth, i watched the game replay and the 3rd line was invisible last game without Chytil.

They did bench most bottom 6 ers in the 3rd

I think they sant to see Bo over Brodz

I said this the other day, but Groulx also needs 15 games to remain RFA this summer or else he becomes a Group 6 UFA. So even if he just gets a few games here, it makes it more plausible to hit that 15 games milestone towards the end of the season.

He has been really good for Hartford and is still relatively young and may have a little upside left in him at the NHL level, so it would be nice to be able to retain him with a QO.

That line was on a hiding to nothing though. Berard still finding his game at this level, a career 13th forward, and a guy in his first game for 3 months that is also his first game for a new club....

If we sign Borgen, Schneider can be a chip for upgrade at LHD or Center. Mancini a year closer. Emery a year closer.

I think Drury likes Schneider too much to deal him for anything less than a massive win. So I think he stays.
And don’t sleep on Fortescue. I believe he’s a NYR in the 26-27 season.

 

[AirGut]

Bo Groulx? More like Bo Nieves

 

[JimmyG89]

The fact that no Panarin rumors have come up mean he hasn't expressed interest in being moved to a contender. He might be happy being in NYC.

It also could mean they haven't broached the idea to him or are not thinking that far out.

It makes me wonder if somehow Drury thinks they'll be a contender next season. I don't see a path.

You don’t think there’s a path to being a contender NEXT season? Lol
