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

[Mike in Houston]

All i can say is Drury wasn't delusional and didn't trade Berard Othmann GP, Kreider any more picks etc

I agree.

 

[Fitzy]

Trade Kreider for a #2 blueliner in the offseason. Trade Laf plus Othmann for Tkachuk. Sign Duchene. Reconstruct the roster around the center ice position.


Tkachuk-Miller-Zibanejad
Panarin-Duchene-Perreault
Cuylle-Trocheck-Berard
Edstrom-Carrick-Rempe

Trade-Fox
Miller-Borgen
Soucy-Schneider
Vaak

That's a roster I could see winning, depending on who we get for Kreider.

Serious question.

Are any of you really surprised that Florida elected Marchand over Kreider (not that this was an actual choice)

But even if it were, I'd take a healthy Marchand over a healthy Kreider all day, every day,

Like it's not even close.

ah.....my bad. When you said "its funny", I assumed it was sort of complaining.

At least with @SnowblindNYR there's really no confusion about whether he's complaining or not.

Devils get Sprong

And Marchands antics are even better. All kreider could do is throw a mouthpice.

Devils get Sprong

That's the sound you hear when Bugs Bunny gets a boner.

 

[Guyute]

lol @ “genius” Eric Toolsky. Can’t believe he didn’t add after flipping Rantanen.

You should have been certain Rantanen would sign before trading Necas, Eric.

It's me when Emily whispers in my ear.

 

[Ruggs225]

How do we still not know full return of marchand deal?

How do we still not know full return of marchand deal?

The trade is being processed through Arizona, takes forever to get those results.

 

[will1066]

There's unexpected high volume in the trade call queue. You can remain on the line or leave a callback number for your convenience.

 

[Ruggs225]

I see now. Its a single first round pick it looka like

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Either checking cap compliance or one of the players involved is napping

[DialUp]

Colorado has to laugh at that right? Trade Rantanen out of the conference, get rewarded by him ending up on a direct rival. Brock Nelson is your consolidation prize.

 

[cheech70]

Mika and Panarin in the off season. Mika has great value in a rising cap. Bread on Panthers only happens if Rat face is not resigned.

 

[Machinehead]

They’ll lose to Florida

Florida won't make the Finals without Tkachuk.

 

[will1066]

After getting the scare of his professional life, Laf goes on a heater. Amirite?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Florida won't make the Finals without Tkachuk.

He’s probably coming back.

Game 1 of the playoffs. We see it every year.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Fire Drury

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Looks like 2nd (can become conditional 1st) for Marchand. If accurate, I think people should calm down about Drury not trading Kreider.

 

[Richard Banger]

Florida won't make the Finals without Tkachuk.

He’ll be back for the playoffs.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

After getting the scare of his professional life, Laf goes on a heater. Amirite?

If he was in the city he’d be at the Spaniard this evening slamming back beers in celebration

 

[Machinehead]

He’s probably coming back.

Game 1 of the playoffs. We see it every year.

He’ll be back for the playoffs.

If he's back and somewhat able-bodied, we might as well just skip the entire East bracket.

I still think a good handful of teams in the West could beat Florida.

Although Colorado just took themselves out most likely with the bomb they put in their lineup.
