Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXI

[Shesterkybomb]

The problem with trading prospects before they become NHL players is you are trading something of potentially lesser value. I still believe thats why Lundkvist is on this roster, they are aware that Schneider will need that spot and will move Lundkvist to accommodate that but there's little value in a player who has never played in north america so play him, show he can play and then move him

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Little significant value along, but what if he were to be packaged with Gauthier?

So something of little significant value attached to something of little significant value then, likely adds up to something of little significant value.

Reunanen is the type of player that has zero significant value. Every term has their own version of guys like him. He's an AHL player, he'll get occasional shots in the NHL, and once in a while you'll find one that works out. I would never trade for a guy like over just getting a late pick who at least gives you a low probability of becoming something significant. If teams want guys like Reunanen, Pajuniemi in deals then ship them all out and upgrade.

I think Reunanen is an eventual third pair defender in the NHL. I'd peg his value at around a mid-round pick, like a third.

I wouldn't trade our top prospects for rentals.

I would trade them and pay the price for players that fill a need with retention. Gourde and Karlsson are the ones that make the most sense

I don't think a move is made until they figure out what they're doing with Strome -Chytil -Nemeth is a given at this point for cap purposes

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Would Georgiev and Nemeth get us Lavoie from Edmonton? Scouted him when he was in Halifax, he's not even close to where he will get to, big strong center with skill who can play right side. Imo we might be able to use Edmontons need for a goalie and a ld to buy low on him. I could add to that deal maybe a 3rd or even 2nd rounder if i absolutely had to.

Yeah, it's called multiplication. 6 x 8 = 48, a much bigger bigger number than either 6 or 8. Same logic applies here.

Not many teams are looking to load up on players with little significant value.

Lundkvist is on the roster because before this season anyone on this board who said he wasn't the best defenseman in the world outside the NHL would have been shamed.

You people think everything is about trade value, meanwhile we went 500+ days between acquiring Gauthier and acquiring Goodrow and the only player who was traded this season who has scored a goal is Tuch.

So throw in Gettinger to really bring in the serious bidders.

Whats your point?

Too bad we let Brodzinski go....really could have added a ton of insignificant value.

i wish cause he’s totally blocked in NY

[rangers1314]

Chicago trades Alex Nylander to Pitt for Sam Lafferty

 

[huerter]

Whats your point?

Get serious, then read what I was responding to and what I said.

 

[huerter]

Kravtsov is 2 years away from getting traded for Laffy.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I couldn't be more serious.

It's very simple. You have the best D in the league on an ELC. Best goalie in the league making peanuts. You have Mika making half what he's worth. Strome too (way better than he gets credit for here). You have prime Panarin, Kreider, Trouba. PLENTY of cap room.

For one year. One. Year.

Push the chips into the center of the table and let's fking go.

And I'm typically the guy who HATES the 'bold moves' that sacrifice the future for the present.

 

[bleedblue94]

Who says wait? Do we not get to play the games with these elite pieces we have?

Just saying not to trade away top prospects for rentals.

I don't think anybody's really advocating for trading top prospects for rentals, people are advocating for trading assets for rentals or trading top prospects for controllable assets that can help the team going forward. I don't see anybody actually advocating for trading any of our top prospects for short-term rentals only

 

[CupSeeker]

How would we we be able to get McDavid or Leon without giving up Fox, Shesterkin or Panarin?

Leon for Geo, Chytil, Schneider, Garand and a 1st

I'm also out on thirty year olds who aren't top liners.

 

[bleedblue94]

I'd like Goodrow so much more if his contract was for like $2.8m for 4 years.

Then you wouldn't have got him. Everybody wants a player like him at this point, look at what Coleman signed for or what tanev signed for. These kind of guys are invaluable to their teams and organizations are recognizing it now. Sure their bottom six type players, but they're elite bottom six type players that also can play up and down the lineup when needed. That's so valuable to a team. And honestly complaining about $800,000 in 2 years really isn't that big of a deal. There's bigger fish to fry. And everybody's loving Goodrow Right now in season when his true value is going to be in the playoffs, that's when the games really turn into where he excels

EDM hangs up laughing. Throw in one of the Lottery Twins and an established NHLer at forward (I'd say Strome but he busted hard outta EDM last time). Also think about Krav or Oth going.

 

[bleedblue94]

Why, if the cost makes sense and that player fills a hole that you have in your lineup what would the reason be to not do it? I would take tarasenko or pavelski on this team in an absolute heartbeat. I couldn't care less about his age right now. If you have a player that fills your need and isn't going to cripple you long-term on salary so long as the cost makes sense there's absolutely no reason to ignore those kind of players simply because they're in their 30s.

 

[CupSeeker]

The new Datsyuk on that future powerhouse, man we will be kicking ourselves in the future if that happens lol

Datsyuk? Now you've gone too far. He may turn out to be good, but he will never be that kind of player. Geez.
