Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXVI

[Chalfdiggity3]

Hey @Edge with this Kravy crap coming up, does this now reopen the door to the Larkin trade? They wanted kravy or Nils and a 1st. Can we still swing that deal? Then move out Strome for a 1st to recoup the one we gave up for Larkin?

Doubtful.

 

[rangers1314]

Doubtful.

any insight to add to this disaster?

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Why? Most of their center prospects are playing the wing. and wing brings me to my next point. F*ck the Kings. Im calling Detriot and saying Kravy and this years 1st for Larkin. GET IT DONE

I’m an easy sell. If we got Larkin out of this I would be over the moon.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Who knows? I don't know. All I've seen and the numbers represent that both players have played their best hockey of their careers together

I think any one being objective about it could say that it's Panarin making Strome the player he never was at any point in his time in the league.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Larkin/Hertl are the only way that I can see us limiting the pain here. I could see us forced to take just a 2nd or something and then he goes out and has a 30-30 season. Would be brutal. Drury better dig us out of this mess(that he at least partially caused).

 

[RangerBoy]

The player is crazy. Those rich Russian kids are an issue. His family has bucks.

 

[SA16]

Should we have stuck with a development coach?

 

[TheBloodyNine]

That's not how it works. The sucker bet would be to give me better odds to make more money. Not worse odds to make less money.

People are pumping money into a bet they think they can win but the oddsmakers know they really wont. Vegas doesn't set odds so that you can win money they make it so they can. Rangers bet to win the cup on Vegas odds is as sucker bets as they get. They are a popular team so they will attract a lot of bets.

But hey, if you believe in them and their odds, put some cash on them and post a screen shot.

How is this a management problem?

Kravtsov is throwing a temper tantrum. Just like Lias.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Hated that pick in 18 and I hate it today. Should have drafted Dobson.

 

[rangers1314]

Was this pick always the org trying be "the smartest kids in the room"? Wahlstrom was right there.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Hated that pick in 18 and I hate it today. Should have drafted Dobson.

f*** Dobson.

Should have drafted Farabee

Haha me too. But seems like edge put an end to that dream a few minutes ago

I thought Lias might have been messed around with a little, this kid it looks like they treated fairly at every step

 

[NYR Viper]

The worst case has occurred. The Islander selected Wahlstrom and Dobson at 10 and 11, both are on their NHL club. Kravtsov has asked for a trade. Ouch.

 

[rangers1314]

@Edge had mentioned that Y & the wings liked VK.

I wonder if this latest stunt cools that interest.

 

[EpicDing]

That's totally fair, yeah. Fact is, Kravtsov is reacting poorly to being told he isn't ready yet.

 

[BBKers]

Both sides handled this poorly. I already said something was up when he did not make the teambuilding trip. The Great Rebuild... is more like the Great Lottery Luckout now. Oh well... I personally thought that Krav outplayed LAF in camp. And Kreider too... Gaut had a better camp than VK. So did Blais. Hunt? Meh... a good 1st game. Then nothing special. NYR asset management is terrible as always. Excuses are like bungholes. Everybodys got one.

I dont think its unreasonable for him to be unwilling to accommodate Gauthier and Hajek, who clearly did not earn positions with the club but made the club because of their waiver requirements.

 

[Avery16]

He's more ready than Gauthier, who is still with the club.

 

[rangers1314]

He can be annoyed all he wants, and I agree with the logic.

But going this route AGAIN isn't the move.

 

[EpicDing]

He's more ready than Gauthier, who is still with the club.

As a healthy scratch. This is what every young, waiver eligible bubble player deals with. Why is it a problem for Kratsov?

 

[Avery16]

What piss poor management
Great start Gallant

This is Drury. Gallant said pretty clearly "you're talking to the wrong guy." when asked about Gauthier and Hajek.

 

[RGY]

Kravtsov for Larkin
