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

[DanielBrassard]

Is Carson Soucy better than Lindgren? Because Vancouver doesn't have a spot for him and he's apparently available.

He's terrible

 

[bl02]

After every win people want to buy everyone and after every loss people want to sell everyone. There’s a middle ground for this team. JTM is a different situation as that’s a deal you can’t turn down


Kaliyev isn’t a C or a 4th liner. He gets back in if a top 9 wing sits or Zibanejad is moved back to C

He should be in for CK if he's not 100 percent healthy but CK could be at 25 percent and probably would still play over Kaliyev

Did anyone even see what happened?

Not enough time off if we're dealing with a ligament injury. My guess as a certified HFB doctor is that it's a bone fracture / break.

 

[RangerBoy]

woof on that Edstrom injury

He’s basically out the rest of the year. That sucks

Edstrom will be back for the ECF.

Yes, I'd take him. He was serviceable in Seattle a couple of years ago.

Is Soucy better than Lindgren? 100%.

Is he a good fit here? No. Giant "defense first" oafs don't need to be added to this group.

Montreal has a few players I like very much. Jake Evans and Joel Armia. Evans is in line for a nice payday. That guy is very good player. Armia is a underrated player. Both of them are free agents this summer.

 

[Vitto79]

We don't have a 2nd round pick until 2028.

Lindgren flip

I thought we were selling, not trading for rentals?

Evans is a guy I'd love to trade for and extend like Borgen. Could you get both Evans and Armia for Kreider? He can reunite with Marty St. Louis and Jim Ramsay

Clip from TFP:



Would love Mario Ferraro.

Always been a big fan of Armia. Thought he’d become Semin 2.0 and be a legit 1st line wing but he reinvented himself into a really good two way 3rd line winger.

 

[haohmaru]

fair enuf

You are on record he returns something substantial
I am on record, he commands not so much

We'll both be on the record on March 8th as "Why the hell didn't they trade him"

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

no thanks on ferraro. barely an upgrade on lindgren. some team will give up a 2 for him

 

[DanielBrassard]

Colorado should be interested in Lindgren if they are interested in Ferraro. RB was on the money with the Lindgren+Smith package.

 

[Vitto79]

I wanted Soucy in the Miller trade for Lindgren

 

[cheech70]

belaboring a point

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

did san jose retain on ceci and granlund? retaining half on both smith and lindgren should net us a 1 and 2

 

[DanielBrassard]

The last thing the Rangers need to do is waste money on a bottom pairing LD. All of their efforts need to go into getting a legitimate 1st or 2nd pair LD.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

belaboring a point

lol ceci just as bad

even if teams know how bad lindgren has been he should still be tradeable

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I can't see Montreal trading for Kreider as he might be their most hated player ever and he's not good enough anymore to justify the PR nightmare.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Ferraro is horriawful.

I know San Jose is/has been too but he's bad even relative to the other guys there.

 

[DanielBrassard]

They didn't they have no retention slots available.

Absolutely. Miller is fine at 2LD, Vaak is fine at 3LD. Replacing Lindgren with, like, Chychrun, is probably a 5 win difference tbh.

 

[Levitate]

still mad they signed lindgren and passed on trading for Chychrun
