Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XXV - Time to say Goodbye

[bobbop]

Not his fault the deadline is stupidly late in the season.

The deadline used to be two weeks later than it is now. It was moved up about four years ago.

 

[E-Train]

I think it will work in the opposite direction.

If you look at the way it worked last year, the deals went from less significant to most (Holden-Grabner-Nash-McDonagh/Miller)

I guess if Kreider were to go it would be last minute a la McD. I’m hoping they get their price for Hayes before deadline day.

The ‘94 deadline was on March 21st. They’ve moved it up quite a bit.

I don’t think duchene or stone are leaving. I think Ottawa gets both done honestly.

Bobby Mac just said yesterday that it's more likely than not that Duchene and Stone get traded. The Stone part surprised me, especially since it seemed like he was heading towards an extension and would most likely become their next captain.

I tried to do some quick research and it looks like the deadline was moved up two weeks in 2017. I know it was even later many years prior.

Nash freakin retired for health lol

and we had no interest in even talking to him regardless

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Im worried we’re going to settle for Hayes and end up getting Petan + 1st + B prospect

 

[Leonardo87]

Would like for the Rangers to put in a claim on JT Brown

We don’t want JT Brown, he is pretty much the faster version of McLeod.

Thanks Gort

Always a chance the Rangers don't get great value, but what is "settle?"

The other alternative is to sign him long-term, which the Rangers dont seem keen on doing at this time, or letting him leave in July for zilch.

Since we acquired him for free... I vote get what you can for him. That doesn't mean to rush however.

If you win a $23 million jackpot off a $5 scratch card, can I have it for the $5 you paid?

What? How is that remotely close to what I said???

That's a terrible analogy.

I said don't rush but I'm trading him. He's not a 23 million jackpot, and we'll be getting more than a 5$ scratch off card.

OMG lol

The analogy doesn't work. You're determining what you can get with the $23 million, not with the $5.

If we trade some of these guys like Zuc and Hayes it would be nice to get some young proven talent back. Draft picks are a crap shoot. Sorry but it is a fact. We have got to do better drafting talent. I have recently seen 2 Wolfpack games and came away totally unimpressed with Anderson. To me he looks at best like a Jesper Fast type player with a ways to go. Minus 15 so far looks awful at times. Still young but for a first round pick we need to do better than a 3rd or 4th liner. Honestly the entire Wolfpack team is short on talent with the exception of a couple of players. IMO the best is Lindgren.

 

[Avery16]

If I get a $23 million jackpot from a $5 scratch card, I’m not selling it for anything less than $23 million.
It doesn’t matter what we paid for Hayes, he’s Hayes. We hold out until we get good value.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

It's a double edged sword right now for the Rangers. In the west every team aside from LA is 5pts or less out from the 2nd wild card sport.

If the Rangers wait, more buyers may come onto the market. Or on the flip side if those teams lose then there could be more sellers.

What's even more crazy is almost all of the games over the next week for those western teams are playing eastern conference clubs. The only head to head matches are Vancouver/Edmonton and Chicago/Vancouver.

This coming week could really shape the market.

Dont think anyone disagrees with the draft being a crap shoot.

I think folks know that the more bullets you have in the chamber, the odds increase that you are going to hit the bullseye more than once

Hoping Gorton can move Vesey/Namestnikov/Strome before the deadline as well. They aren't useless but if you can get a 2nd or 3rds it would be nice. Strome would probably be the toughest to move of the three

I may be in the minority but I'd really like to see the Rangers keep Strome. He has another year left at $3.1 then is an RFA.

And it's still bad

I’d be on board with moving one... maybe two. But not all 3. Maybe if our AHL farm was deeper.

It's a bad analogy.

Your 5$ scratch card gets you 100$...

Do you cash the 100$ or do you sell the card for 80$ giving you 16 more chances at hitting it big?

 

[DanielBrassard]

Which is why they should move him. He's been pretty bad and that's 3.1M in cap room we could use in FA. But we are probably stuck with him.
