Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XXVI - Point Of No Return

[GoAwayPanarin]

Good.

Now trade Zucc, Gorts

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Tank commander Patton is gone noooo!

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

That’d be a fairly significant piece off the market

 

[Thirty One]

Ugh, I see it's the season for my least favorite term: "own rental".

Fans would revolt if Carolina dealt Ferland. They would ask the moon for him and rightfully. He is loved here. Hurricanes are probably buyers if anything right now.

That would be a HUGE positive for this team. Same goes for Philly and Simmonds if they continue to climb

They have a new owner who wants to win. Their attendance is the best it has been in YEARS and the team has been close last two seasons. The Hurricanes should not be selling, but it's possible the Niederreiter move (which has been incredible for them) could have been their big move

 

[Ghost of jas]

Trade appetite officially whetted.

 

[DutchShamrock]

A 7th is nice, but why is Gorton improving the team during the tank?

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Now Quinn can go 10 forwards and 8 defense

I'm ready for a NYR prospect poll that goes to #100

 

[Webster]

Good.

Now trade Zucc, Gorts

What if he's back next season, total meltdown in your camp?

 

[Fitzy]

You have to think NYR will try to recoup at least the 4th they dealt for McQuaid.

I'd like to see DeAngelo permanently in the lineup down the stretch, so it works well for everyone.

I thought Nashville might be a dark horse to add McQuaid. Could still happen but McLeod fills their tough guy quota for now.

Mihkail Pashnin IS still Rangers property...

 

[Kovalev27]

I still say they send McQuaid back to Boston for a 2nd or 3rd. I think that was the plan all along.

 

[Fitzy]

I hope the doctor drops his scalpel in there and forgets to retrieve it.

(Kidding, of course)

Marleau is on a 35+ contract and after his 3 mil signing bonus, he only has 1.25 mil in salary remaining. Toronto could trade him to Arizona or some other cap floor team after July 1st. Arizona buys him out during the 2nd buyout window for 2/3rds (833,333) but still has 6.25 mil in cap because it's a 35+ contract. Marleau then re-signs with Toronto.

Marleau would have to agree to it, but he ends up getting more money and still gets to play in Toronto, so I don't know why he would be opposed to it.

The league might say something about it, but after Washington did the same thing with Orpik last year and the league said it was okay, I have a hard time seeing how they can stop Toronto from doing it. It may be something that the NHL will look to prohibit in the next CBA.

I'm actually hoping for the latter. If both parties are willing, why not give the ability to re-negotiate a contract with one of your players? You could put stipulations on it and such but I don't see a reason to not do that

This is Lettieri's opportunity to stick. If he doesn't it's probably all over as far as a NHL future with the Rangers

 

[Thirty One]

Would like to see Beleskey again tbh.

Beleskey is clearly an NHL fourth liner, they just havent bothered to use him.

 

[Kovalev27]

Christ Lettieri? Really? This kid is worse than Mcleod.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Will the season ending surgery be forthwith? @Thirty One Thoughts?
