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

- Start date
why?
b'c huffing and puffing to promote a false narrative obliges getting called out
for the umpteenth time
no one has the right to allege the bold
HE IS INJURED. LET THAT SINK IN
So with the devils and wings losing today, after the Rangers win the back to back this weekend they get ready to get the 3rd seed and play Carolina?

My understanding is that he can. And Drury said in his presser today that he can
No wonder! He’s been playing pregnant.
The NHL shouldn’t allow this. There needs to be a rule implemented immediately.
Congratulations to the Fox’s!

What has Othmann shown since being drafted that suggests he’s anything special?
Maybe he turns into something and that would be great. But if not, I would like the team just once to move an asset before they kill its value
I'm with you that Othmann is nearing a point where he's due to make some strides. He doesn't seem ready for the NHL to me but there's not much more use in him playing at the AHL level too much longer.
However, if he hasn't shown anything that suggests he's special, then he also doesn't have any value. And that's on him isn't it? Didn't make the team, now he's here and looking out of place. To your point, if he doesn't play better the rest of the way, he killed his potential value.
Although I think he's probably going to be sent down soon, if Kreider returns? So he might not get that chance over the next few weeks.
Perreault should be on the team this year the second BC's season is over
I would rather him here when at least one of Kreider/Panarin are gone. For once give a kid with talent a shot at serious pp1 time. sink or swim. Him getting no pp time and 3rd/4th line duty is no bueno

I think if we are in playoff position with a handful of games to go that there is a shot we see Perreault this season
College Championship is April 11
We have our final 3 games on the 12th, 14th, and 17th. Assuming BC makes the Championship or even Final 4... I think if the Rangers are locked into a playoff spot (I know) then we could see Gabe up for those final 2 or 3 games plus the playoffs.
Also, while Perrault shoots left, he is a RW.
My only qualm is that he may end up just being wasted if he get chucked on the 3rd line with whatever misfit toys we have leftover (likely Kreider and Parsley)

Usually over the offseason there's at least a 4/5 player change over.
We're already seeing a bunch of Rangers kids and it wouldn't surprise me if both Berard and Othmann finish out the year here. We're about 50/50 to make the first round I'd say and somewhere about 10/90 to make the 2nd round if we make the first round.
As far as the offseason it looks to me like the Rangers might have $20 mil about when free agency opens up but that said a lot of teams have been resigning their players before they hit unrestricted. There might not be a lot of market even if there's a lot of teams with money and that could lead to paying a lot more for less. Do I think the Rangers D is set for next year? No. We need a larger partner for Fox but we also need a defenseman on a second pair who can produce offensive numbers. The forward group still left we might get by with. I don't see us moving Panarin over the summer. Maybe during the season---depending on whether we bounce back, what kind of season he's actually having and whether or not he'll take a significant pay cut on a shorter term deal. Kreider maybe moves next year too.

I use my Kakko jersey as pajamas now.
Trade Kreider at the draft. Trade bread for a top pair LD + great prospect at some point this summer. Get a new coach who puts Laf and Gabe on pp1. Gabe attached to Miller for the entire season.
This can be a really strong and great club next year.

I AM too old for this shit
WAY too old
but then again my friend, it is not how old you actually are
but how old you FEEL
just ask Peter Frampton
$14M. Miller and Cuylle need new contracts. More than half of the $14M will be spent on them.
We already saw offer sheets last summer. Dallas signed Johnston yesterday. They were afraid an offer sheet.
How are the Rangers adding a D partner for Fox AND another D without subtracting money?
The Rangers are going nowhere with this core group.

Meh. Miller might be part of an off season package. Not sure he's worth a raise at this point. Kreider might go. Things will be fluid this summer. If you can get rid of both of these guys you certainly have LD options.
I don't think Drury is all in on Miller. At all.
Krieder or Panarin have to go in the offseason in order for us to make the cap. My choice is Krieder, I think it’s time. Even with the 6.5 coming off the books, We still wouldn’t be able to accomplish much more than obtaining cheap 3C competition for Jusso and slightly upgrading LD. We’d be out on Garivkov and Provohov. I wouldn’t trade CK for picks in the offseason but a young, promising, cheap LD or RFA.

I don't know. Kreider, Othmann and Jones are gone. They will likely be used directly for a LHD, or be used to just free up space and spots.
Lineup i added with pics has 4.7 million in cap space with only 1 position open on D and a moderate estimate on the cap at 95.5.
Doesn't seem too hard to add a good d man on the left. And maybe even Panarin is traded. Or Z. So could be more.

this lineup is pretty trash though, unfortunately. you're not putting perreault in a position to succeed.
