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

[Jerkstore]

What about Zacha with Zadorov? Zadorovs best years were in Calgary where I think he was paired with Andersson. Might be wrong though.

Would love Zadorov. Wanted him as a FA. I thought he was pretty good with van in the playoffs. Physical and good in front of the net where we have struggled - to put it nicely.

Ok, Rantanen replaces Panarin scoring wise but who will replace Mikas 70+ points and playoff production for the same cap hit?

Berard-Brisson-Kaliyev Gold medal Line

BBKers line

Yeah so without retention that means the Rangers are adding to Kreider to get this done?

Or would it be an even swap? Honestly, if it was a hockey trade I would def consider it.

But that would put Boston over the cap, by about 750K

Man, the Bruins are in bigger dire straits than Semmi and Akeem in Queens. But they'd be stupid to do an even swap for Kreider with either Zacha or Lohrei.

Zadorov is one of the dumbest players in the league.

No thank you.

No thank you.

Maybe you’re right but the way the team is at the moment I prefer dumb and physical over smart and soft (vaak)

 

[Alluckks]

25' 2nd + later 25' 4th for Zacha
Jones and later 25' 3rd for Ferraro
Kreider for Dallas for 26' 1st and 25' 2nd

I think it is true 50/50 odds Kreider gets moved. There is a lot more smoke than I expected.

Zacha seems very interesting and fits the team well.

Ferraro seems to fit like a glove and the good relationship with San Jose is prevalent.

Oleksiak is on the DailyFaceoff trade board. Would they go back to Seattle and see if they can get him?

Feel like we've talked about Oleksiak for years here and it only seems right he is eventually a Ranger.

Zadorov is one of the dumbest players in the league.

No thank you.

Ed has been pushing Zadorov for literally 5 years lol

But I recently heard an argument here once again about how those who have laced em up the most recently have the best understanding of the game, so maybe we don't give Ed enough credit for his roster building plans!

I like this guy. Can move the puck well.

Edit: But woah, he's 32.

Bunch of shitty boring players on the move today.

In all honesty, this would be the reason.

Oh just a chart. So his analytics suck. Okay gotcha

Dumb and physical can hurt you way more than smart and soft. Did you watch Trouba in the ECF?

Then there is the matter of price. Vaak will come in at close to a 1/5th the cap hit of Zadorov.

I get the intrigue with this player, he’s big, mobile and legitimately mean.

He’s also very, very dumb. If he were Canadian Ed wouldn’t care about him.

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah, I mean, that's gonna be it for a lot of people.

When you see nothing but red, you get nervous.

That's based on the downward spirals of guys like Girardi, Staal, Lindgren, Hajek, Trouba.

They all came with similar warnings.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The eye test matches. He doesn’t really do anything well other than be gritty.

I've pushed all my work aside tomorrow.

Also drury getting all of his must moves out of the way prior to tomorrow bascially means he’s looking to do something big right?

One would hope. It makes no sense to me why he would remove the albatrosses, add assets, get back into the thick of the playoff race and then say "eh, im good".

I have no doubt a blockbuster is coming.

@ThePeoplesPeople back me up on this?

Oleksiak would fit pretty well actually

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

It definitely tells us he wants to do something big or unexpected. Pulling it off always another thing. But he cleared his docket and that isn’t an accident.

Who has cap space for Kunin ?
Rangers for a late pick lol
