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

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I think we can get some nice returns. Had a very long chat this evening. Bobby Mac is pretty close to where it will land it appears. Hayes in the East, Zucc to the West it seems. Zucc will garner the most from a team with size. Retaining on Hayes will strengthen the return.
It also appears that the Rangers are saving money for something unconventional. Plus there is someone outside the usual suspects very likely to be dealt. I did not get this name - but have my suspicions. Gorton runs a very tight ship. For sure. Gotta respect that.

Brady Skjei

 

[Off Sides]

Wonder what the unconventional thing would be that they are saving money for

The package trade for Kane and Toews. They've moved on from trying to rebuild the 2004 Lightning.

God I hope it’s not

Lucic by taking him on we get a good return.

Zucc to Dallas with us taking back Spezza come to mind.

Erik Karlsson.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Sign me up for Lafrenière. Unfortunately our team won't be much better or worse next year I feel. Bottom 5-10 reg. season finish. Whatever happens in the lottery happens. But the kid is it. Furthermore unfortunately there seem to be couple of teams around, that are much worse off than us. Worse contracts, old(er) rosters, depleted farms. Sens, LA and Wings come to mind, maybe Hawks. The probability is super slim, we're not a bottom 5 team.

Our rebuild is over in the earliest when the big contracts are off the books. Staal, Shatty, Smith and the King. That's the 2021-22 season. Chytil and VK74 will be 22 years old! We're on a good track here. Just keep getting picks and keep believing we can pick studs outside of the top 5.

We won't have much to deal though after this TDL. Zucc and Hayes are the only valuable assets here. Quaider should fetch something, but it's not the world. Can't see Pionk go, nor getting anything of value. Smith shouldn't attract any interest whatsoever, but hey, we dealt McLord so maaaybe ... Shatty neither. Leaves young wingers like Buch and Vesey, who we need for transitioning. Leaves us the good old EA acquire valuable free agent in July deal for pick move.

I think they find a way to move Shattenkirk before the draft

Shattenkirk traded
Buyouts? offersheets? Three-ways? Top pick for stud?
Trade everything for McDavid?

Vesey or Skjei

 

[DanielBrassard]

Vesey or Skjei

Trading Skjei would be wild.

 

[LORDE]

Sadly I think it's Kreider

 

[Ghost of jas]

Sadly I think it's Kreider

Is he outside the usual suspects? His name has come up in trade rumors, even if the Rangers are asking a heavy price. I take it to mean someone we haven't discussed.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Trading Skjei would be wild.

I could see it.

Decent sized cap hit, maybe they're disappointed with his game overall this season. Should have good value regardless. Similar to Miller last season.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

What is unconventional that they could be saving space for. WN maybe? Who knows.

 

[Alluckks]

The thing is, I wouldn't call taking back a bad contract "unconventional." Hell, we did it last year in a trade.

Perhaps, although that would be quite the turnaround after giving him a long-term deal.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Unconventional has got to be an offersheet imo. Unusual suspect probably Fast.

Sounds like Hayes to Boston and Zucc to Winnipeg. Wouldn’t mind two prospects from the Jets vs. their 1st rounder. Zucc for Lemieux and Virtanen. Hayes at 50% for BOS ‘19 1st, Studnicka & JFK.

bingo

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Who’s coming up that they can even offer sheet other then Marner.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Kyle Connor. They could send a 7 year, $8.5 million yearly offer sheet and lose only a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd if Winnipeg doesn't match. Winnipeg matching puts them in a really tough spot with Laine and Trouba still to sign.

 

[17futurecap]

I’ll go Lias for Pool Party, and both boards go nuts over who won the deal.

 

[SA16]

The only player I would offer sheet is Kapanen/Johnsson and they would probably just find a way to match it for a 2nd rounder

 

[I Eat Crow]

For the record, short of winning the lottery this year and signing Karlsson over the summer, this team is still just about locked in to have another top 10 pick next year. Sending an offer sheet out this summer would be stupid.

Trade them Hayes for some of their ELC guys and then offersheet Conner hahaha

Or Point, Tampa’s gotta run out of cap space at some point
