Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XVIV

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Not only would it be good for Kakko, it's a chance to get one of those picks back that the Rangers traded to Calgary in 2011 for Tim Erixon.....#ClaimGranlund

 

[DanielBrassard]

Absolutely should be claiming Granlund. Would be an upgrade on most of our bottom-6.

 

[Avery16]

Seven teams could claim him before us.

Multi post

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Seven teams could claim him before us.

And if they do, there’s nothing we can do about it. But we should be putting our claim in either way.

 

[RGY]

Let’s claim Granlund

This should be an easy claim but likely won’t happen.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I'm googling around and it looks like our last waiver claim was Adam Cracknell? I thought they made that name up and it was only in 2017

 

[Barnaby]

Granlund could be a great fit. I haven’t watched him this year, but he really fits the Strome mold. 27/scored in the past/pedigree as a high pick/versatile.

Resign, flip, or just let him walk if he works.

If not, toss him back on waivers or let him walk after the season.

It seems like a low risk / medium-high reward move to me.

 

[NYR Viper]

Grab Lund is definitely someone I’d take a stab at.

 

[Avery16]

And if they do, there’s nothing we can do about it. But we should be putting our claim in either way.

Agreed

Lol you rather move him and move on ? Need some bodies to expose in expansion so 2 years at 2 mil per isn’t bad

They have a knack of finding useless bodies to fill roster spots...I'm sure the draft won't be a problem.

 

[Barnaby]

Is there anything on Edmonton's list (other than McD) worth going after? They are in freefall once again, and really need to start making the playoffs while McD is in his prime.
Have to think they'd be interested in guys like Georgiev, Skjei, Buch and a guy like Fast to provide some leadership and defensive pressure

I doubt that they'd be looking for a rental Kreider who most likely walks at the end of the year, but Buch might be a good fit for them with some control left. Georgiev would be a nice addition as well.

The most realistic pieces coming back would be a 1st, although the Rangers could also likely try for one of their high end defensive prospects like Broberg or Bouchard. I'm not sure if they are considered flat untouchables or not.

 

[Barnaby]

I don’t understand how everyone is so ready to part ways with Kravtsov in a Nylander deal. There’s no way I would move him until we see him in the NHL and give him some time to develop.

Do you want the brand new car or the mystery box...?

 

[howztheglass]

So just for fun. Eklund throws out Georgiev for Kapanen would you do it ?

Not talking about Eklund just the deal if it was true.

Love Georgiev and Shesty combo for the future but would also like to get my hands on Kapanen.

you do that for sure w the goalie depth

 

[howztheglass]

Already finished taking down the light and I’m a little bored waiting for the game tonight.

Let’s go full blown fantasy world. Taking what was proposed on this web site and what you know who proposed could you imagine if Toronto and the Rangers completed a deal with all the players mentioned.

Rangers trade Georgiev/ Kreider/ Skjei
For
Nylander / Kapanen

Could work cap wise as the Rangers send out 10.8 million and receive 10.3.

Helps Toronto with their goalie issue. And their Defense. Kreider would fit great next to Matthews.

The Rangers well helps with the wing depth and both are signed long time unlike Kreider. Skjei not the worst lose. Shesty replaces Georgiev.

Leaving fantasy land now but that would be one hell of a blockbuster trade.

 

[zukeisgone]

JD state of the union on pregame
Shesty deserves a shot
Coaches ecstatic about Vitaly since returning maybe some humble pie
If in playoffs it effects how they approach deadline
Excess defensemen could result in trade for a weakness like he did in Cbj with Seth Jones
Tanner Glass skated with Robertson in minors ......mentor
JD is perfect for this time in NYR history

PS don’t think JD like Al calling him ...big boy...a bit disrespectful to the President

Funny how he almost forgot about the deadline.

 

[zukeisgone]

I don’t think a goalie and a couple defensemen would do anything for Toronto. They need a system. Nobody plays defense..everything is high risk..too many chances

 

[B17 Apricots]

The more the season continues with Strome the bigger the return I need to feel comfortable moving him

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Yeah, we’ve got something special going here with Strome and the NYR. Both sides should be motivated to make a reasonable deal.

 

[Trxjw]

Yeah I just don't see how you can get away from a guy who is playing this well and has such great chemistry with your best winger.

 

[Barnaby]

Shooting percentage, line mates - I’ve heard plenty of reasons why Strome isn’t really that good - but at some point you need to realize you have a good player in the perfect spot. For the right price, I don’t see how you don’t try to lock him up.

 

[Trxjw]

No surprises here, but Andersson and Kreider both came up on the Sportsnet Headlines segment. Friedman said the Rangers are going to be patient with Lias and aren't just going to get rid of him because he wants out. Kreider is the name at the top of the list for most of the contending teams. Mentioned Colorado, Boston, St Louis, and Pittsburgh specifically. Also mentioned that Kreider isn't officially on the market yet and the decision may come down to the wire.

 

[bobbop]

The Rangers should be motivated to claim Granlund if for no other reason than to put Kakko at ease.
