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

[Rongomania]

Price too high for Hayes, FLA takes Brass.

Let’s do this!!!!

 

[Kovalev27]

“Start making the movesssss, guys leaving todayyyyyy, it’s time to be the start of it New York New Yorkkkkkk. If Gorts can hurry here, we can trade them anywhere it’s up to you, New York New Yoooooorkk”

 

[NYR Viper]

That should take Pittsburgh out of the Hayes sweepstakes

 

[Avery16]

I don't think were the favorites for Panarin.

 

[NYR Viper]

This makes sense

 

[NYR Viper]

 

[RangerBoy]

Panarin wants to play in a big United States market or in a warm destination location. South Beach or Tampa.

Go Florida.

 

[ecemleafs]

Bjugstad is probably a better suit to the pens 3c spot than brassard.

 

[I Eat Crow]

That about takes the Pens out of Hayes contention. Oh well.

 

[BBKers]

Kreider-Zibanejad-Buchnevich
Chytil-Hayes-Zuccarello
Namestnikov-Strome-Fast
McLeod-Nieves-Vesey

Skjei-McQuaid
Staal-ADA
Smith-Shattenkirk

Should be the team until the inevitable trades are done and Claesson/Howden both return

 

[RangerBoy]

Gorton should be arrested for armed robbery for the Brassard and a 7th to Ottawa for Zibanejad and a 2nd trade. He ripped off Dorion.

 

[pld459666]

Are Bjugstad and McCann that much better than Brassard and Sheahan? I realize they are under team control but a 2nd + (2) 4th's? That seems like a lot considering Bjugstad makes $4.1m

Short answer No

Long answer Noo

 

[Avery16]

Let the Panthers enter cap hell for the next decade. Can only help us, and they won't win a Cup even with Panarin and Bob.

 

[SA16]

Yes they are much better plus PIT has a big time depth issue on W and Bjugstad can easily slot in on the top two lines.

 

[RangerBoy]

No state income tax.

 

[pld459666]

I doubt, very much, that Hayes to Pitt was ever a thing.

 

[E-Train]

No state income tax.

They should take full advantage while they’re still operating in the state.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Can we make moves plz?

 

[BBKers]

Hayes to Calgary or The Peg
Zucc to Dallas or Boston
Kreider, McQuaid + to TML
Buch to Oil
McLeod to TBL

That would be something...

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Panarin wants to play in a big United States market or in a warm destination location. South Beach or Tampa.

Go Florida.

If this happens people some here are going to be hysterical because this team is going to be even worse next year.

 

[ThirdEye]

Anyone else getting the inkling that the Rangers will keep Hayes and/or Zucc? That is, unless they get absolutely bowled over

I realize we're rebuliding, but there is zero guarantee a player we pick in the 20+ range is going to be anywhere near as good as Hayes who has really come into his own. I know it's contract year, but I legit think he turned a corner and this is the player he will be from here on. Meanwhile, trading Zucc who has been the heart and soul of the team will definitely hurt morale going forward.

Keeping them should allow us to compete for a playoff spot as early as next season rather than have to wait, at minimum, 2-4 years. Especially if they can get get someone like Panarin. A top six of Panarin, Hayes, Zib, Kreider, Zucc, and Chytil is pretty damn solid.

Again, picks are nice, but the chance of drafting a game-breaking forward in the late first round is extremely slim

I don't get that feeling

that 2020 draft tho

 

[Lion Hound]

Agree here...Never thought the Pens were in on him or the Rangers would even deal him there.
