Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXI

[Ola]

Joe has some annoying mannerisms and go-to phrases but otherwise he's fine. He's a lot better than many of the other guys out there.

He is a great “pro”, but is it possible to find someone with less personality? I would pay money to listen to like Maloney.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Sure, he isnt a 9M total package dman, but he was objectively really really good

And he was paid accordingly. Pelech is a shutdown defenseman, Fox/Makar are allround defensemen. They add more to the game and that's the difference in earnings. Kris Letang got more than Marc Staal for the same reason.

Was Brendan Smith not at Skjei's wedding?

We know he loves weddings. Former defense partner and now teammates again.

Smith spends his summers with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson

How horrible for him. I can't imagine two worse people (well I could, but you get my drift....).

Joe has personality?????? I never noticed.

 

[haohmaru]

Joe deserves a goal.

I believe that was a joke about wedding crashers that went over your head, referencing smith's first off-season here when he had the four weddings and put on all the weight prior to camp from partying

Today is the day.

I remember the Smith wedding fiasco....I just couldn't figure out how the Vaughn and Wilson fit in the mix ---

hope they go into the season without an extension. Let him show that he's back to 19-20 form before giving him 9+ million for 8 years. If he's more 2021 Zibs then he'll be cheaper. The worst thing would be to give him a monster extension before the season and it turns out he's not that player any more. Would be classic Rongos tho

Probably right. I know we fans like to have all our ducks in a row but either signing him team-friendly or letting him earn a big deal are probably the best ways forward.

Feels like a now or never day on Eichel

 

[Taluss]

Let’s please not will Eichel to NY in existence, come on now.

Do you really think he's not going to show up on his contract year?

He will be in the best shape of his life and have a career year.

Hello everyone, please forgive the ignorant question. I have been disconnected from Rangers news and Twitter (the latter is very refreshing).

I tried to scroll back but in summary, can someone explain briefly why today is the rumored Eichel day?

I think they are messing around, unless something flew over my head.

Rangers break news on Monday’s typically and Valliquette has been hinting at it all weekend

 

[duhmetreE]

penis glands dont have necks. uncanny parallels.

I'm saying novenas and and lighting candles that he is dead wrong!!!!

 

[egelband]

Mika is the best center the Rangers have had since Messier yet half the fanbase wants to push him out the door for magic beans

Smith got waived half a season into a 4 year deal and people were still clamoring for him to get resigned. This rebuild really messed up the fanbase

These are massive exaggerations at best.

 

[rangers1314]

Vally is a trolling ass. I pay no mind to him.

Ok well I was skeptical but now I'm sold

It’s not. I think people are inferring based on two things. It’s a Monday. And if Eichel is going to get the surgery and play this season, it has to happen soon.

Eichel is Finkle, Finkle is Eichel. Eichel’s a mannnn.

we’ll see what happens. Something should drop soon, or vallys spidey sense sucks hairy balls
