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

[leetch99]

He's 23 years old and he's made what, a couple mil?

He's only really had one good year (not a criticism, just the reality) and I think he could be tempted with a sure thing.

I don't think you're wrong, I just think it's possible.

If was in his shoes, and I had one solid season under my belt in the hardest league in the world, I'd have a hard time turning down a guaranteed 50+ million dollars.

......and that is the other side of the coin ! It has to be considered for sure . It worked for Matthews and Marner so far....but not every player gets to enjoy good health in their careers....He could get seriously hurt next season and be out of the league....it happens . I think it actually happened to Turk Gallant back in the day and a back injury forced him out and I wish I could recall the exact details...

Grandlund should be a target. underrated player

 

[bernmeister]

Zibanejad and our 1st. Who says no?

they do

 

[bernmeister]

I'd give Cuylle 8x6.5 without a moments hesitation. He plays to win in a way that facilitates winning. If he isn't scoring, which he seems to just find a way to do regardless of his linemates, he is pushing play forward.

He is Bennett but a wing and our guy. We don't need someone's else's guy to do it. He already does it. And is younger. And he is a ranger. No need to get another mercenary. Reward the guys that brought it through the whole system.

this is in line w/me, I'm 8 x 6.25
we also sign KAM long term

 

[Shesterkybomb]

they do

Ok... Trochek and our 1st

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Zibanejad and our 1st. Who says no?

Detroit

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Detroit

Trochek and a 1st then. That's gotta be enough imo. They could move on from Larkin, get a center on a contract that wouldn't have them taking a huge step back, and a good prospect.

I think if they move on, the goal will be to get a younger C then Trochek.

 

[Alluckks]

I had fun up until the Devils series. That was like watching grass grow.

I was talking about the winning part

 

[n8]

They didn't want him, and who can blame them.

I thought Laf had some minor injury.

 

[NYR Viper]

Has anyone floated the Zibanejad for Rossi idea to the Wild fans?

 

[Machinehead]

Has anyone floated the Zibanejad for Rossi idea to the Wild fans?

I wouldn't lol

 

[Alluckks]

Has anyone floated the Zibanejad for Rossi idea to the Wild fans?

All other fans are convinced the Rangers will have to pay a 2026 unprotected 1st to trade Kreider. Don't bother venturing lol

 

[NickyFotiu]

Zibanejad and our 1st. Who says no?

Some posters didn't even want the deal even up. I don't want to give up a 1st but Id do Zibs and a couple of 3rds.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Has anyone floated the Zibanejad for Rossi idea to the Wild fans?

It’s a terrible idea so why would anyone? Lol

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

The maniacs in the trade board thought vancouver wouldnt trade quinn hughes who they know they arent re-signing for laff and schneider. I think theyd do the trade before the phone call even ended

 

[Hockeyplayer99]

I think both things can be true. The Rangers need (2) top-4 d-men. Where they come from, it doesn't really matter. Whether one of them are Borgen or Schneider or they come in via trade it's moot.

Borgan is a barely a number 6 not top 4

 

[bleedblue94]

Marner is a much better all around player than Panarin. They share one common theme. Sheepherders. They can get you to the playoffs. That's it. Maybe they score the odd goal here and there in the playoffs. Their playoff performances are lacking. They don't have time and space for the dipsy doodles in the playoffs. Very disappointing in the playoffs. I feel bad for the team giving Marner a seven year contract worth $14m this summer.

I think they each have strengths, Panarin is a better shooter and marner is better defensively usually, but to your point they struggle when the game changes. That 10 seconds in the last game with the no look backhand to the nz and then no back check on the ensuing 2 on 1 was absolutely brutal for marner

 

[bleedblue94]

Zibanejad and our 1st. Who says no?

I don't think the red wings want zib in any way.

 

[mrmovies779]

They wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.

 

[bleedblue94]

I wish he could convince Crosby to come to NYC . Imagine guys like Crosby and MacKinnon heading overseas to play when they could be out golfing...that is how we roll in Maritime Canada !!! Those guys are beauties ! Real hockey players ...that is where the Rangers should have been pushing Lafreniere for.......a trip overseas to play with winners .

Are we sure Canada even wanted laffy?

 

[bleedblue94]

1. Any update on the assistant coaches? Peca? Muse? Velucci?

2. Any rumors from the beat on whether we're going to give Pittsburgh the first round pick?

The beat doesn't know shit. They are all guessing. 100% at this time of the summer.

 

[Alluckks]

Borgan is a barely a number 6 not top 4

Barely a number 6 is anchoring so far in the other direction it is comical.

He is a decent 5 that can likely play up with a better partner.

 

[Fitzy]

Borgan is a barely a number 6 not top 4

 

[n8]

Has anyone floated the Zibanejad for Rossi idea to the Wild fans?

They say Zibanejad has an anchor contract so the idea sunk hard.
