Speculation: Roster Building Thread : Part XVI (Playoffs or Retool?)

[kovazub94]

A bigger lindgren wouldn’t be nearly as bad as the current sized one. Part of the problem is how he loses almost every puck battle, gets pushed around, and lets guys get to the net. Speed and break outs are also an issue but physicality might be worse with how broken down he is

His decline started when he had a shoulder separation injury two years ago.

Panarin at 50% + Schneider for Kempe & Brandt Clarke. I think LA is definitely one of the cities Panarin would waive to. Rangers need to get away from the soft fancy shit. Kempe is more of a straight line player and is fast as shit.

Time to trade Smith, play Kaliyev. Why wait? Send the message to the team that it’s unacceptable. The next time it happens trade another veteran. Call up a young player

Why Kaliyev? I doubt he has a future here.

No way the kings trade Kempe. He is their next captain in my opinion. I rather keep Schneider, one of the few dman that is not afraid to hit. Rangers need more physical dman that can play.

C'mon man, Slats/Trottier was a thing...

Trottier never got this much rope, I'm doubtful slats would have kept Laviolette around this long

Sell

Things are different at @MSG these days. Dolan's various companies are carrying tons of debt. Golden parachutes are few & far between.

I really hate that Cuylle and Laffy are getting 13-14 min a night with no substantial special teams time while the team is a bubble team at a wildcard spot this year.
Both should be concreted in the top 6 next year. And put Laf on the f***in 1PP already

Laf hasn't earned shit...honestly, he should be benched before he's given power play time. He's been completely checked out since he got his extension & a huge part of the problem. Someone needs to pull this kid aside & explain reality to him.

Kings don't touch that

I think Laviolette should go but who has Slats fired mid season as a coach?

Panarin at 50% for Kempe and a pick or prospect then.

My half awake retool while prob over valuing nyr players worth

Lindgren & smith to minny for merril(contract slot) & 1 of heidt/stramel/kivaharju(would love buium but not happening). Figure this would be similar to Dallas dealing a 1st & 3rd for ceci & grandlund

Kreider @50% to Colorado for guyliyav & Ritchie(prob dreaming kreider still has this value)

Panarin @ 50% to fl(plays with his bestie and no state tax) for Lundell,sawcyhn & 2026 1st.

Also recoup a 3rd or 4th by retaining
$ on another deal.

I’d approach quick too, see if he wants another cup and then make a side handshake that he can come back but also let’s nyr see what they got in garand.
