Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXVII

[Avery16]

Ready to move on from Georgiev, for whatever we can get. Play Kinkaid and see what we have in Huska, who is putting up good numbers this season in Hartford.

 

[RGY]

When this team ultimately adds Joe Pavelski or Patrice Bergeron, their forward group will be solidified. It will come down to their young defense making significant strides

Despite his 100% save % last night?

I’d give up Krav+1st+Jones for Bergy. He would be huge for us.

 

[Avery16]

Yes.

 

[Fitzy]

If the 4th line of Hunt-Rooney-Reaves can play like that every night it will help this team go a long way.

Very happy to have been vindicated on Hunt and proven wrong by Reaves.

It's a great group.

LA needs D-man in the worst way.

Miller for Turcotte could work. Yes dealing Miller is not ideal but we do have Jones whom could step in for him. We lose in size but gain in offensive ability.

Still in the wings:

Schneider
Robertson
Skinner
Reunanen
Hajek

Jones could play with Trouba covering the 2nd pair defense.

Turcotte would be the center we've been looking for since forever.

KAM is untouchable

I love Turcotte and I think a deal could come around without using KAM. It might cost a Cuylle, Othmann or Berard though, Robertson, Lundkvist and one of those guys.

I'd bet my left nut and right kidney Bergeron retires a Bruin. Zero chance he puts on another team's jersey.

Youre probably right. But if Boston is a bubble team at the deadline, or worse, I would be ringing their phone every 10 minutes to see if they changed their mind. That franchise is on the brink of a rebuild or a serious retool. Krejci is gone now. Bergeron not getting any younger. Their defense and the pipeline behind it is very suspect. Yes they have McAvoy, Marchand, and Pastrnak. But what else? Debrusk has been underwhelming. Their youth that they had high hopes for as been very average to say the least, Frederic, Studnicka, etc.

 

[duhmetreE]

Realistically... what would you give up for Gourde? what would you give up for Gourde + retention from Seattle?

Someone brought it up but Hagel is another guy that stands out.... Maybe we can steal him from Chicago and their tire fire.

We could use a firecracker in the middle 6....

I agree in terms of inquiring, 31 teams would want Bergeron in their lineup. I don’t see Boston missing the playoffs though, too much talent to miss out so I don’t see them selling. You are right though, future isn’t looking so hot past Pasta and McAvoy.

He is gonna retire a Bruin. I can’t see Bergeron wearing another jersey although anything can happen. Would love Bergeron. Amazing player.

Definitely one of the very best of the past 20 years. Shoo-in first ballot HOFer.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Since Rooney is an UFA, Rangers should resign him to a similar deal and only 28 takes him to 31 as the 4th line center.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

I wouldn’t mind adding yanni gourde to our mix

Love Gourde but who’s spot would he take


Would you do Kravtsov for Gourde??

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Why would the Kraken trade Gourde? He's viewed as a leader in the locker room, can play all 3 forward positions and while ideally a 3rd line player has shown capabilities to play on the 2nd line.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

The one thing this team needs to address is putting an end to the goalies getting ran. Shesh has been hit quite a few times the last handful of games. I dont think Shesh would mind the volume of shots so long as he wasn't getting ran 3 times a night.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

If they would as this point I’d be willing to do that. I would also be willing to do Fil Chytil for Yanni Gourde +

 

[Savant]

Seattle has zero reason to trade Gourde. Rangers had the chance to trade for him (or Coleman’s rights) but got Goodrow instead.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Hmm Chytil looks too injury prone in his young career. I’d do that deal depending on the +

 

[Hockey Gamer]

Gourde's impact for his team is a lot like what Callahan's impact was for us.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Wrong thread

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Would be surprised if Blais isn’t out for the year, he was screaming, looks like an mcl or acl

 

[Avery16]

14 games in and Tarasenko’s PPG still, but I have it on good authority that he’s really done, playing with one shoulder. Besides, we are stacked at RW.
