Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XX (WTF are we going to do this Off-Season edition)

Why trading for Mario Ferraro makes sense for Rangers

Regardless of their plan for K’Andre Miller this offseason, the New York Rangers likely will look into upgrading the left

OHHHH a boppity boopi

Hard pass on Italian Lindgren. I love these articles that get written by people who have never seen guys play.

In another life, Italian Lindgren would be my username. That is so beautiful.

Ferraro is considerably worse than Carson Soucy.

They're collecting the infinity stones of retreads. The next step is hiring Sather.

 

[SA16]

What would it take to have Sullivan bring Crosby along with him as a package deal?

Already got that one.

Lou would be the final one.

Mason McTavish - Stats, Contract, Salary & More

Eliteprospects.com hockey player profile of Mason McTavish, 2003-01-30 Zürich, SUI Canada. Most recently in the NHL with Anaheim Ducks. Complete player biography and stats.

I would almost do Laf for Mason

Ducks are not moving McTavish. Have a better shot at Zegras.

So much for a thorough search. I wonder if Sullivan is the only candidate Drury "interviewed." I wonder if Sullivan asked Drury to justify his moves as GM since taking over.

Zibs is as good as Crosby. I don't believe that but the way this thread is going somebody is going to say it lol

 

[Fitzy]

Seemed like old salt and pepper was always gonna be the choice

I imagine NYR wanting to get under it before some other teams either just eliminated or potentially on the verge, have a chance to sit down and evaluate whether or not they want a coaching change.

How much is really going on in these interviews anyway? These guys already all know each other.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Rangers should hire Patches O'Houlihan

 

[pld459666]

In what way? Do you value either Zibs or #11 individually as high as Larkin?

Yes, I value Mika as high, and higher than Larkin.

The 11th, no, not has high.

 

[rangers1314]

Well at least they decided on Sullivan after a thoughtful, through search where they spoke to a number of coaches with various levels of experience to at least challenge their own initial bias towards him.

:: fart noise ::

 

[McRanger92]

Sullivan was always going to be the coach. At least now coaches and management will be on the same page for once.

As for a “thorough search”, if they interviewed a bunch of college guys and AHL nobodies, then hired Sullivan, what difference would that have made?

 

[NickyFotiu]

Yes, I value Mika as high, and higher than Larkin.

The 11th, no, not has high.

If that is the case shouldn't we be able to trade Zibs for a top pick if he waives trade clause?

I didn’t expect it to be anyone else. I felt it in my bones before the Penguins even let him go.

I’m not against it or anything either. Seems fine to me. It’s just extremely predictable and uninteresting. Rangers announced that the sun rises in the east.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I'm sure the plan before Sullivan was let go was to do a pretty extensive search.

Him become available obviously changed things and thats really the problem. Lazy, uninspired and tone deaf.

 

[McRanger92]

Sullivan was much more engaged in the ins and outs of the Pittsburgh organization as a whole than Laviolettdown or Uncle Fester were for the Rangers. Big shot with USA Hockey. Had the respect of Crosby and multiple ownership groups in PIT. Retread is an unfair label for a guy who has been in the same job for 10 years, but you can call him that. Rangers needed someone who acts like a CEO. Hes gonna outlive these players and Drury if it comes to that imo.

Tone deaf?
