Speculation: Roster Building Thread : Part XVIII ( TDL is March 7th)

[Mike in Houston]

Thank you Larry!!!

Kreider and Zibanejad remain on the roster, but the Swede’s future as a Ranger would seem to be in the hybrid wing/center role he is carving out and sharing with J.T. Miller and not as the club’s first-line pivot. Kreider’s immediate future is more problematic to the upper-body issue that has sidelined the American for the past six games.

We have been told the Rangers are not shopping Kreider — who has a 15-team no-trade list — but are listening. We’re also told that concerns over his physical condition — Kreider has missed 13 games with three separate issues — has limited the market.

There is no rush for Drury to trade the team’s most senior player, who has two full seasons at a most reasonable $6.5 million AAV remaining on his contract. The Rangers, who are teetering on a playoff spot, could use Kreider back on the ice and on the first power-play unit that was putrid in Wednesday’s 3-2 OT defeat to the Caps.

Remember this, too: Kreider is having a miserable season. But his 17 goals are tied for second with Will Cuylle and Vincent Trocheck behind Artemi Panarin’s 26, and his six PPGs are second to Panarin’s eight.

Dallas and Carolina had a deal in place for Rantanen, but Dallas couldnt work out an extension he'd be agreeable to. Now Dreger reporting the deal is off. This guy seems overly demanding. Thats 3 teams now that heavily value him and he couldnt agree with. He's overplaying his hand.

Someone (possibly a team that plays in NYC) may pony up 105 over 7 on 07/01/2025

I'm not saying it's the Rangers, but anteam tjat plays in NYC may do tjat.

Thank you Larry!!!

You’ll sleep well tonight. Enjoy his last few dozen game here

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Thank you Larry!!!

it makes more sense to move him in the offseason or even next deadline. His value couldnt possibly be any lower. I’m not really interested in moving him for a mid player on a mid contract

 

[DanielBrassard]

Thank you Larry!!!

Maybe the relationship isn’t as fractured as Vince made it out to be.

 

[turcotte8]

The voices in my head tell me NYR will acquire Nik Antropov today.

I hear we're in on Keith Tkachuk

 

[mas0764]

Yeah they won't do anything.

I'll take all I can get.

Anyone else seeing the Novak for Otthman + 2nd rumor? Feels like Pitt just got him for less. I like the target, don’t love that price at all. Would prefer it’s not true.

Have seen it and wouldn't touch it

 

[Mike in Houston]

Maybe the relationship isn’t as fractured as Vince made it out to be.

As much as I like and respect Vince, and I have even met him once, there is something odd about him being the only one beating this drum. None of the other beats and national insiders have said anything of the sort to corroborate it. So I don't know.

Sabres probably want Laf for Peterka. If I'm giving up Laf then it almost certainly has to be a bigger deal.

Something like Laf + Schneider for Peterka + Power.

Not 100% sure I would do it, but I would think about it.

It's certainly not going to just be Kreider + spare parts (i.e., the classic Ryder, Halak + a 2nd offer).

 

[bernmeister]

Blake would include byfield because blake is an asshole

byfield is likely not going unless a package, he and Shesty principals

Schneider for Peterka
Laf+ for Brady
Panarin for ASP
Kreider for Stankoven
Quick for 1st

Brady Miller Perreault
Peterka Stankoven Cuylle
Othmann Kasper Berard
Edstrom Carrick Rempe

ASP Fox
Miller Borgen
Soucy Vaak


this has been my bern talk thanks

There are MULTIPLE kissing arrangements on the line if JJ Peterka is dealt to the NYR. Let’s review them now.

@DanielBrassard agreed to “kiss Drury directly on the mouth”

@The Crypto Guy agreed to “kiss everyone here” - assuming this includes @bernmeister and @EdJovanovski since they weren’t explicitly excluded.

@Tob is volunteering to “kiss his account goodbye”

My fellow posters - today is a huge day, Drury has all the pressure, let’s see how he handles it.

easy pass
like on the order of Iron Man scene towards end of Avengers movie
please say nobody kissed me

unless @The Crypto Guy happens to secretly be Ann Margret, prime or otherwise
or an acceptable alternate


til later peeps

Kreider sticking around until the summer. Time to f***ing wake up and help the team instead of being a soft perimeter guy like he has been at 5v5 the last 3 years.

Id still like to see them add a Zacha type C. Id even take Novak. Not so interested in Laughton at this exorbitant price.

 

[UnparalledPark]

Buffalo is hilarious. The team is rudderless, yet Peterka is the one they choose to put on the block?

It said other teams are calling Buffalo.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

The voices in my head tell me NYR will acquire Nik Antropov today.

i always liked antropov he was a pretty solid player

 

[McSauer]

In terms of what NYR could trade for Peterka…

As much as I would like it to be Schneider, doubt the Sabres would want the main piece back to be a RD given they have Dahlin and Power on the right side locked up long term. Lol at Fox going there to be their 3rd pair RD.

They are both LHD

 

[Takeahnase]

And I do have to agree one way or another I don’t think this guy is signing in Buffalo.

He has a whole Mika edm playlist is what I took away from that.

 

[tiggles]

Well... nice to be rid of Lindgren, at least

 

[McSauer]

Sabres probably want Laf for Peterka. If I'm giving up Laf then it almost certainly has to be a bigger deal.

This is the way

Earth shattering Wow tell us more lol

I guess I'm just being impatient

 

[GAGLine]

I'm looking forward to Carolina losing him for nothing.

This is the way

...to a Kreider trade
