Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXI

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

You watch hockey?

Clearly a lot more than you.

 

[RGY]

Fox literally won the Norris for best defenseman and you want to see more?

Yes, Fox must now provide a cure for Cancer or Covid, either will suffice.

Both or he's traded back to calgary.

IN THE PLAYOFFS!

 

[jay from jersey]

Much like the rest of the group, you're looking at a one sided game where there is no other team on the ice

What group?? I’m not too worried about how he’ll perform in the playoffs, he seems to thrive in pressure situations.
What we just witnessed with him this past season was nothing short of incredible

 

[jay from jersey]

Guys, Lundkvist and Schneider have been discussed to have the ability to play both sides. Jones does as well. There is no rush to move anyone as really maybe only Lundkvist is NHL ready out of the entire group. The smart play is to continue letting guys develop and get a more clear picture of what they can be.

For example, and I love Lindgren, but if Miller comes in this year and becomes an absolute monster with Fox pushing Lindgren down, perhaps he becomes a high end trade chip to make room and being in a high end center.

That’s absolutely possible as far as him getting moved down, don’t think he has the currency that Miller/ Lundkvist would bring back in a deal. But still a valued piece. Should be wearing at least an A on his chest. I’d love it if they could decrease his minutes a bit and prevent more wear and tear on his body too

Clearly that's a given since he hasn't done that in a simple 3 game series

 

[Fitzy]

He wasn't exactly a difference maker either in those 3 games was he?

Literally no one was except DeAngelo in a negative way. Including Panarin.

 

[RGY]

It blows my mind that you're all such hockey fanatics yet don't know the difference in play between the regular season and the playoffs.

Are you seriously f***ing kidding me??!!

Its August 10th. Take a breather and go for a 10 minute walk outside.

But but he's a Norris trophy winner

Will do exactly that.
I just brought up a scenario.
Wasn't expecting everyone to trip out

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Ryan Strome is our playoff enforcer

 

[NYR]

Clearly a lot more than you.

Kk

I’m mean 3 games in the bubble as a rookie with a coach who couldn’t motivate a roster isn’t the best sample size. He literally, almost carried this group into the playoffs this past season, with panarin and shesty when the pressure was at its highest. But clearly, those 3 games should be the outlier?? Wtf?

 

[Fitzy]

If your point is that you aren't sold on Fox yet in big moments and on defense, then fine.

But I don't think the 3 game bubble his rookie season offers a great sample size.

Don't let facts and reality get in his way. After all, he apparently watches more hockey. Or at least its on in the background somewhere.

he needs to win the Vezina before I can take him seriously.

cue someone posting a gif of him making a save

Heisman or we bury him in Hartford.

 

[DialUp]

So we are clearing cap space by trading an unproven Fox? Shrewd, but too late at this point. We could have used the savings to sign Danault. So now I don't know what we should be doing at this point.

 

[wafflepadsave]

So they aren't that hot after him then?

They keep hanging around aren’t they?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

They keep hanging around aren’t they?

It doesn’t sound like they are.

if they were really heavy for him, they would have traded for him already.

If eichel is really messed up, why are we hanging around?

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Hope so but the hope alone is not enough to sign crazy contracts

Maybe we should see what his next contract is before we fret.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If eichel is really messed up, why are we hanging around?

where is the proof that we’re hanging around?

Friedman said that the Rangers and Buffalo weren’t even close on agreeing on a package. They didn’t speak leading up to the draft.

Brooks says that they aren’t very interested.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Fox is the one player on this roster i have 0 worries about.
