Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XXVIII

[UAGoalieGuy]

Signing Hayes should happen... We do not have a 2C in the system.

5.7-6M$ per.

Have we gave up on Anderson already?

trade him first. if he wants to come back we can sign him over the summer

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Man, I've got seriously mixed feelings on trading Kreider.

Kreider will only be traded if the offer is too good to turn down.

 

[RGY]

Kreider wont be moved. They will only deal him if someone overpays for him and that just wont happen.

Hayes and Zucc are gone. Nams is 50/50

 

[duhmetreE]

Kreider for Laine

 

[duhmetreE]

Have we gave up on Anderson already?

Ehh I don't see Andersson becoming a 2C anytime soon.

I know people bring up Scheifele; if he becomes that in 3 years we'll worry about that then. It's safer to say he'll be a 3rd line center

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Ehh I don't see Andersson becoming a 2C anytime soon.

Fortunately we have the luxury of time.

 

[duhmetreE]

Fortunately we have the luxury of time.

It depends what we're talking about.

Contrary to what people on here feel, I think the team will try to contend next year.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Only way i trade Kreider is for a top-10 NHL prospect, such as Necas or smth.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

This really should be Zuccs last game. Nice way to go out with 2 goals so far.

 

[Kovalev27]

Have we gave up on Anderson already?

I did first time I saw him. Couldn’t skate then can’t skate now

But I’m still surprised we aren’t giving Chytil a look at center. He was great in Hartford as an 18 year old

 

[SA16]

What are teams are trade options for McQuaid?

Toronto Marlies

 

[NYR Viper]

Something to remember is that Duchene is not a good defensive player. Most playoff teams have a good #1C taking prime offensive minutes. Having another offensive guy as a 2C may not be ideal. Hayes does both

 

[Minmonster]

I would just stay away from duchene. He's a wrecking ball and negativity follows him

 

[Avery16]

Not asking anyone if we should offer it, but what do people think Zucc would say to a 5 year contract at 5.25 per, with signing bonuses and full NTC for years 1-2, partial NTC years 3-5

 

[NYR Viper]

Namestnikov would be a real nice addition for teams looking for a glue guy to help with secondary scoring. Dallas would be ideal

 

[NYR Viper]

Not asking anyone if we should offer it, but what do people think Zucc would say to a 5 year contract at 5.25 per, with signing bonuses and full NTC for years 1-2, partial NTC years 3-5

He’d say hell yes. That’s not a good one for the Rangers

 

[Minmonster]

I would be happy to sign stone though. Great 2-way player, underrated, makes linemates better. Part of the solution

That's a better deal than he'll get on the open market, he'd rush to sign it before JG reclaimed his mental capacities.

 

[Avery16]

Its a raise of $775k, which is about as modest a raise can be. You can bet he won't sign anywhere for fewer than 5 years, so….

 

[Avery16]

He’d say hell yes. That’s not a good one for the Rangers

He's already making 4.5, so what do you think he would require to stay off the market? I don't see it being less than that.

It’s not the cap hit for me, it’s the term. I’m sure a team will offer that but that will be because they’re competing now. Those teams will deal with the latter years because it enhances their chances of a cup for the next few years. Say, Calgary or Boston.

I’d offer that deal at 3 years this offseason but I’d still trade him at this deadline

 

[pld459666]

So I've been kind of disconnected lately, so I may have missed something, but isn't the whole "sulking" thing a bit exaggerated? From what I gather, he admitted to letting trade talks affect his game for a period, stated that it shouldn't have done so and came back playing some of his best hockey as a Ranger?

I think most players have let outside factors negatively affect their effort level from time to time, but admitting to it may be more rare.

That said, they should try and get what they can for him, and shouldn't bring him back this summer either, unless he signs an insanely team friendly deal. And even if they did, he shouldn't (won't) be a candidate for captain, nor do I think he'd want it. The young group they'll be bringing into next year will need a vocal captain. Zuccs, I belive, has taken a step back and become less vocal since the head injury, and even before that he was more of a jester than your typical #1 leader.

It was real. He was a shell of what he had been partly due to injury partly due to whiny baby syndrome

Hes been much better last month

 

[duhmetreE]

That's a better deal than he'll get on the open market, he'd rush to sign it before JG reclaimed his mental capacities.

Not even close.. He'd get 6-7 in open market

 

[duhmetreE]

The 4.5M he signed was 6.5% of cap. 6.5% of cap at 79.5 is 5.17M per
