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

[Oscar Lindberg]

I enjoy everyone saying Soucy will be playing with Fox when Fox might be out until the playoffs. We like to get ahead of ourselves around here dont we folks.

He’s gonna be playing with Fox on the top pair next year lol

 

[SA16]

Really like the Vaakanainan deal at $1.55M. He and Schneider have been solid.

Hear me out... what if we deploy Miller + Borgen against opposing top lines, and give Fox 2nd pairing minutes + PP. He would be way fresher and feast on lower competition.

With Schneider, Soucy, Vaak, Borgen, Miller we now have plenty of d-men that can play hard and kill penalties... keeping Fox's minutes down and saving him for offensive zone situations.

Fox already gets low minutes for a 1D

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

As the kids would say, “mid at best”

 

[Fitzy]

Another team that's never won anything

Say what now

 

[Mugless]

Bruce Boudreau looks like a testicle.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

The last couple games were absolutely a showcase for Zac Jones. The rangers made moves that have ensured he has no future here. Highest bidder by 3pm will get him.

A lot of 4/5/6/7 guys here

Still lack the 2/3 defensemen though

It will be K’Andre

A #1, a #3/4, and 4 3rd pairing defenseman. Rangers are so back.

 

[tlk]

Jonny Brodzinski, come lift the Cup!!

 

[tiggles]

Only saving grace is that Vince is usually wrong about everything.

 

[Profet]

Jonny Brodzinski, come lift the Cup!!

That's the Calder cup, in the AHL.

Fox is our best D by a country mile...He needs to be getting lots of ice time.

Desperately need a #2

I really hope the plan goes beyond that current 6

 

[Profet]

East is so quiet this year.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

“Seattle kraken announce they have acquired JJ Peterka from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for forward Kracko Krackininen”

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

It will be K’Andre

Yeah for a few games until Lavi moves him off the pairing

Assuming he’s even still on the team lol

 

[NYR Viper]

A #1, a #3/4, and 4 3rd pairing defenseman. Rangers are so back.

I really dislike this. Miller is a #3, Borgen is a #4, Schneider is a #4. They have 3 bottom pairing guys in Soucy, Vaak and Jones. De Haan I think could also be a bottom pairing guy.

 

[RangersFan]

Marchand?

yup. Really don't like that it doesn't even seem like Drury is trying to target a legit #2

 

[Levitate]

Fox is our best D by a country mile...He needs to be getting lots of ice time.

He should get a lot of 5v5 and PP time but I don't feel like he needs to be out there killing penalties full blast

e: personally I think Miller is good enough that playing with Fox makes for a fine first pairing (and the stats have born that out). I dunno how often you truly get two bonified #1 defenseman playing on the same pair.

 

[McRanger92]

Easier for people to cry about it

 

[Ruggs225]

If kreider is still here, this deadline is a failure unless reports were there is no interest bc of health.

Otherwise teams are paying premiums for players. Kreider should get a big return.

 

[NYR94]

Marchand?

Schneider isn’t a #4 in any sense, the rangers have never ever used him that way for a prolonged period of time. Borgen is borderline at best but I think he’s better suited on a bottom pair on a contender. The others are all bottom pairing D. Rangers continue to build the defense in an incomplete fashion.
