Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XXI (Will these playoffs ever F'ing end?)



Pretty sure Peter Baugh and Arthur Staple were hired solely to frame every Rangers move in a negative light. What difference does it make that the former coach's assistant coached Gabe Perreault when he was 17? He signed a contract with the New York Rangers, not Dan Muse, last I checked.

Good for Museferatu though, no ill will toward him. Good luck dealing with the post-Crosby years.
 


EF said teams are concerned about Kreider's injuries. Up until last season, Kreider hadn't missed many games in the previous 6 seasons. He had the blood clot situation in 2017-18. I remember he suffered a broken foot blocking a shot right before Covid ended the 2019-20 season.

EF said there are not many untouchable players in the NHL.

Kyper thinks Hague could have the same impact as Ekholm in Edmonton.

Kyper thinks the Dallas Stars could be a possibility for Mitch Marner. The same $12M Rantanen got. Dallas would need to move Robertson and Marchment who have a combined salary cap hit of $12.25M. Dallas would also need to get creative filling out their roster. It's very doable. It will be tight next season. However, the cap goes from $95.5M to $104M to $113.5M in the following seasons. Texas has no income taxes and the $12M in Dallas is like $15M everywhere else.

Robertson didn't do much for Dallas until the Edmonton series. He got injured in the last game of the Stars regular season. He missed the entire Colorado series. Robertson came back for the Winnipeg series. He was a ghost until the Oilers series but Dallas was so overmatched against Edmonton. Marchment was terrible for the Stars. He took a dumb penalty in almost every game.

Marner to Dallas would be beneficial to the Rangers. Apparently. LA and maybe Anaheim are interested in Marner. The Stars signing Marner would open the door to Panarin going one of the southern California teams.

Kyper has a trade board. He mentioned Marty Necas might not be happy in Colorado.



If Necas doesn't make to re-sign in Colorado, Necas would make sense for the Rangers. Trocheck and Necas played so many minutes on the same line in Carolina. They had good numbers. Necas is a righty shooting forward. Those players are hard to find. Reunite Trocheck and Necas.

The Avs had interest in Panarin in 2019. Necas had a poor playoff for Colorado as did many of the Avs players. I read the Avs are still trying to sign Brock Nelson.

The Rangers really need to move on from Panarin. Some of these Rangers fans are so deluded. If the Rangers move Panarin, the Rangers Cup window is closed. Reality check. The Rangers window is already closed. Perhaps they were in a coma for the 82 game season when the Rangers missed the playoffs in a very mediocre conference.

Panarin for Necas. Straight up. Necas is a RFA.

Drury needs to leverage Colorado, Dallas, Vegas, and LA against each other. All teams that are going to be looking to make changes this summer to try and knock Edmonton off. They're all close but need a piece or two to make a run at the Cup.

I have a funny feeling Marner stays in Canada. Or goes to a small market team to get away from the spotlight. He seems like a quiet kid that doesn't like the bright lights.

Necas is under contract this season and an UFA next season.
 
"Genius"

More like disaster. Outside of the top 2-3 guys maybe, I dont think there's a single player in this draft who i can say with confidence will be better than what Lafreniere already is, and even then i have worries about how well Hagens will translate.
Ideally, I'd rather not deal Lafreniere, but he may be a candidate that would benefit from a change of scenery and getting away from this organization and have a new perspective o his career. Other pieces would be involved, so it wouldn't be just Laf for no. 4 overall (I was half kidding when I suggested that LOL).

He may break out, but I doubt that ever happens as a New York Ranger. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm skeptical.

I think its just throwing in another Ranger connection?

Its a surprising hire though and if Sturm does get the job in Boston, leaves some really quality openings for assistants for the NYR.
