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

And he will decline and tell us he wants free agency. Jack already has a multi-year extension. NJD are NOT trading Jack. Your counter argument is "No, Rutherford is making that up" ???

Have you paid attention to anything going on in Vancouver this season? They are the most vindictive organization in the league toward their players. I think Rutherford will say anything to put the blame away from himself if Quinn does leave. Id still gladly take 2 years of Quinn even with the expectation he might leave lol.

Ridiculous speculation.

Bring him to the East Coast and then watch him sign across the river? No team is keeping two small d men that each run a pp so IF you were trading for Hughes you are simultaneously saying you are trading fox in that deal or in a second deal after Hughes comes here. Any argument to keep both is nonsense bc they serve the same role on a team. It's all nonsense bc the Canucks have been pretty universally criticized for getting cleaned out on the Miller trade, why would they go back to nyr on a Hughes trade?

is hughes ld or rd?

trading zubov who formed a 2 headed monster on the pp was right up there with chi trading hasek as the pinnacle of 90's bone headed maneuvers.

He didnt state that. Rutherford did. Very different. Quinn will sign in NY if the Rangers offer him what he wants.

Do you think Rutherford would put that out there for no reason? He said publicly what basically everyone has speculated about and I think it's pretty obvious that it's to prepare the market for the fact he's going to leave. It doesn't help that his favorite coach just walked away as well

I think Quinn leaving Vancouver is a given. I don’t think it’s a given that he’s destined for New Jersey. Not yet at least.
 
McRanger92 said:
I’m aware. Are the Devils going to trade for him and pay him 11-12mil? Someone will likely offer him more than that on the open market. I think more will go into his decision than whether he can have sleepovers in Newark with his younger brothers.

Offering more would be like, "we have two fully grown clones of your brothers." If money was the issue, he'd resign with Vancouver. You have a blindspot. He wants to play WITH his brothers. Not hang out during down time. Hang outs at hotels. At team events, At practice. Things you don't get from being on different teams.

You're entitled to "rent" Quinn for his last three years but you're deluding yourself if you think he'd resign with us once he's a UFA. New Jersey, a division rival, would have to trade both Hughes brothers to us for that to happen. Please, if you have a proposal on the trade board NJ fans would accept for those two, maybe then you can report back and tell me "it's possible."

It’s a hypothetical situation. I’m not “deluding myself” lol it’s not that serious. You’re entitled to your opinion. I don’t care one way or the other
 
Zibanejad is real close with Rakell. Karlsson is another high profile Swede. Maybe something around Rust for Mika retained to PIT?

Correct, and to that end Rutherford even quipped about the way to keep Quinn would be to trade for his brothers.

they'd be nuts to trade Lafreniere now, his value is as low as possible right now. this place loves to sell low and buy high.

Conversely, if laffy was playing even "well" everyone would lose their shit if the rangers traded him. The league has five years of seeing what he is so I'm not sure there any surprise on that.

Also, how can people say don't trade laffy when his value is at its lowest but then also be trying to trade Miller at ever opportunity when his perceived value is near its lowest and he needs a contract?

People sure do hate consistency

If Sullivan's style is predicated on speed, thats not a good sign for Lafreniere. More and more Im thinking the Rangers move him and I bet it will be a mutual breakup. Drury did right by him and prospective teams by getting his contract done just for cost and term certainty. Ship him to Buffalo or Vancouver and be done with it.
