Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XXVII – Fortnight, Not Fortnite

[Shesterkybomb]

The Winnipeg/Stone stuff is interesting. If they get Stone they have no place in their top six for Laine who is playing horribly. Wonder if they would explore dealing him to improve their LHD or add a #2 center. Might even be able to get both.

They could deal Laine and still have a top six of:
Connor - Scheifele - Wheeler
Ehlers - Little - Stone

With Vesalainen still in the wings. That's scary good, even with Little as the #2C.

Or they play stone and Laine together and h starts lighting it up again.

[Shesterkybomb]

Hopefully we get a good deal for Hayes, his return is key to the future

mr preachy again. yawn. tiresome

look, this is fact.

Exhibit A: The 2014-through-2016 drafts from which the Rangers have gotten a total of five games (four from Tim Gettinger, one from Brandon Halverson) of the 17 players selected those three years.

Wow, you mean when a team trades all their high picks their drafting suffers?

Imagine being THAT married to a narrative? Holy f***.

the rangers had 3 bad recent drafts (an unprecedented event in the history of organized sports) and therefore should never value picks again

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Move Hayes for whatever you can get.

Will be controversial but this team needs to lose games.

They also needs to have kreider and Zobanejad come down with post 2018 deadline habsitis.

 

[offdacrossbar]

Every first round pick since Mcllrath have made the NHL or look like they will

guys like mcilrath, jessiman, montoya, sanguinetti and danny blackburn all looked like they would make the nhl. "making the nhl" is about as low a bar as one could have, no ?

the idea that this team is anything more than below average drafting is laughable. our 1st round pick history is littered with swings and misses. period.

again, its all opinion and we all have one. mine is we arent that good at it and so, when it comes to removing 13 and 36 and maybe 20 from this roster as hoping our "drafting" will save us....

excuse me if I'm only luke warm to that idea.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

We really need Ottawa to keep at least one of them.

Stupid Senators.

I feel like Dorion is the one dude at the blackjack table who has no idea what he’s doing and keeps ****ing up everyone else’s hand.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Well he's from Winnipeg and is an elite player, so I'm not sure the plan would be just to rent him. It would be under the premise that they're able to retain him.

It's similar to the Kreider talk here with Panarin. Kreider vs Panarin and whatever you got from dealing Kreider.

Got ya. Winnepeg is an interesting case. They almost have to make a major move or two this offseason regardless. Lots of long term deals, Connor/Laine/Trouba RFA deals due. with really only Myers coming off the books.

Lmao it’s more melnyk than him but this is the perfect comparison.

They lost their last game, probably never winning again. Disband the franchise, invest in the Arena Football League.

Yeah, let's use draft picks from 2003 and 2010 to say the team can't draft.

Move on. It's pathetic at this point.

i hate to be the bearer of bad news but how the hell can you use the 2014 thru 2016 draft as your years to compare....these are players 21, 22, and 23 years old! im not saying those players still have alot of growth yet but come on...

They can't draft, they should never draft again, why bother trying, this one guy hurt his shoulder in 2005, we're f***ed.

I'm excited for our new AFL franchise.

Oh. So we are completely ignoring the fact we had 0 first round picks and only 2 second round picks in those 3 years? Okay then.

A lot of Jets fans seem to think that Trouba finally goes this summer regardless.

The Rangers have two scouts at the Jets game tonight. It's probably that Hayes/Zucc are the backup play for Stone/Duchene, but it's fun to dream about a bigger move.
