Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXVII

[duhmetreE]

If we trade Kravtsov for Smith, I'd be pissed.

I don't mind taking on some salary from Vegas and/or sending some assets to Buffalo, but a player like Brisson must be coming back.

edit - on 2nd thought, Smith might be a nice player for Zibs and Kreider. Or drop Kakko on that line and have Smith with Panarin Strome. It helps the top6

I don't really see the angle for the Rangers to get in on an Eichel to Vegas deal to help out with salary. It's not like Buffalo is hurting for cap. Dealing Eichel at a full rate would put them $5m under the floor. Smith only makes $3.5m in salary this year after his SB.

Maybe if the Sabres really want Kravtsov and the Rangers flip him for a prospect going to Buffalo.

Comparing an exceptional hurricanes team to the shitshow that was the Quinn era is... ballsy

No. Thank you TDA for being an unprofessional POS. Good thing he's now focusing on hockey, liked him as a player and wish nothing but the best of him. But it's sad to see some fans here still blaming the organization (or Georgiev) for cutting him loose. He ended his career at NYR himself, end of f***ing story.

It's probably the best line combinations possible at this point, but to me it feels like we are short a RW to really become one of the top teams in the league.

If only we had one somewhere.

Too bad we don’t.

 

[mas0764]

Too bad we don’t.

We do though.

We have a whiny toddler in Russia.

Rare footage of Kravtsov's exit interview, featuring Drury (Wonka) and the scout who made promises he didn't have power to keep (the dad).

LOL the analogy is spot on with all the prospects being vanished from the team one by one too.

Oh, you found out the full story, please tell us. Because all I remember are a bunch of false accusations by reporters and fans, with really nothing confirmed.

 

[tlk]

If he's put up those numbers being unprofessional and not focused on hockey just imagine what he might become

Someone photoshop Ed Jo's head onto her father lol

And now every time we trade or mess up a top prospect we can play the Umpa Lumpa song.

 

[TominNC]

I think you must have carefully ignored the stories that came out explaining the situation. How it was the final straw and all.

 

[haohmaru]

We do though.

That dude has made it painfully clear that we DON'T have him.

Is Mr Salt really Bobrov?

 

[pld459666]

This kid is absolutely going to be a part of the Rangers' future. He plays that high energy and relentless style that will help him step into the NHL and find a role.

Future

Lafreniere, Kakko, Chytil, Berard, Cuylle, Othmann, Grubbe, Korczak

Nah, you’re missing the whole point. JD and Gorton turned his value into nothing with their ultimatum and their public declaration that he’d never play another game as a Ranger. Why they were so obsessed with destroying his trade value, I’ll never know.

I still think it was mishandled and the team morale was shit with Quinn for whatever reason.

Just losing that type of talent for nothing is very poor. Hindsight is 20/20 but it was an over reaction IMO

If ADA was the cause for the locker room strife, I would have agreed. It wasn't true.
If ADA was the reason the team looked like zombies, I would have agreed. It wasn't true.

ADA was not the problem but a symptom. The locker room/team was a mess. Both parties are at fault.

Not as ballsy as suggesting that points are more important than decency.

There's a Russian province joke in here somewhere

Didn’t Sara Pailin say that you could see Russian from Buffalo?

 

[bleedblue94]

I agree, and I was also making a pun based on the video

 

[bleedblue94]

Didn’t Sara Pailin say that you could see Russian from Buffalo?

She said that she knew all about Russia because she could see it from Alaska

 

[bleedblue94]

And let's not let ADA nonsense hijack this thread again. It's over, people need to move on.
