Speculation: Roster Building thread - Part XVII - (TDL is March 7th)

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Parssinen is RFA after this year, De Haan is UFA after this year. Hope they flip De Haan.

I love how Drury feels the need to acquire a 33 year old defenseman so he can sell the notion that he’s not tearing it down.

He’s there to round out the numbers. This is a sell move. Teach these lazy f***s to throw a season over waiving the worst overpaid 4C in the league

2 and a 4, good return.

Where'd you see that?

 

[mas0764]

Go ahead. Pärssinen had 25 points in 45 games in his rookie season with Nashville.

Yes but that was some time ago. I think solid middle six is a more likely upside than legit #2C.

Trocheck is an ideal 2C.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

3rd line center and a veteran d , like to see what the picks are. Fox in tears

 

[Matt Rentfree]

2 and a 4, good return.

Rick Nash to Boston. The gift that keeps on giving.

I know, I like the deal, just it’s funny it’s like he can’t help himself.

Guess Drury forgot today was Saturday. Thought he doesn't work on the weekends

Rangers fans yell to dump or cut Lindy and Vesey no matter what for months. I laughed because I knew no matter what deal was made some on Twitter would complain.

Probably just Colorado needing the roster space tbh, and we could use a body with Lindgren going.

Trocheck is an ideal 2C.

Sure, I just said he has #2C upside. He has the skill. He should be very good as a #3C, and is going to be cheap for next year as well.

Great trade.

 

[eco's bones]

he

healthy Kreid gets more
healthy Kreid not actual reality now
Dallas knows this and does not make that deal

prob does bread at half if they get 2 cup runs w/him


no

I never said the Stars would make that deal. All I inferred was if they did then Drury should jump all over it.

It's curious your affection for this one player. I mean we've had years and years of your trying to trade every other vet on the team with only this one exception. Kreider's 33 now but even if he gets his health and scoring prowess back we're talking here about a very young left side d-man with lots of size and a physical game to go with it---an LD is a bigger need right now than LW and IMO the Rangers really need to fix their D. We gain at least 10 years on Bischel besides. Plus the addition of the Dallas 1st rounder even in a kind of mediocre draft year gets us even younger. For pretty much anyone else you'd be all over this.

No reason to complain about this, youngish bottom six player, a body for d for the rest of the year, and a few picks for a 4th liner and a dman that wasn’t going to be signed.

 

[Atax]

Good luck Lindgren.

 

[Fitzy]

Lindgren is worth around a second and Vesey around a fourth so have to call this a fair move.

Should also put to bed concerns about a Lindgren extension

 

[GAGLine]

I'm very happy with this move. We get a player who may help us long term and a couple picks we desperately need for two players we didn't plan to re-sign.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Any retention on Lindgren?

Love you lindy but today is a breath of fresh air

Or he's gonna flip him?
