Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXII

[TheBloodyNine]

i am concerned McKegg won’t get waived to the taxi once Goodrow , Hunt, Laf are back likely next game

I’m worried Barron goes out of the lineup

I mean, that is what is going to happen so just come to terms with it now.

 

[ecemleafs]

how much would kessel cost as a rental? would help solve 2nd/3rd line RW spot. would also help the 2nd PP unit as the RHS. a lot of ppl want "depth" but i feel we have a lot of these "depth" players now and would be better off with someone who can score if mika/panarin slump.

 

[QJL]

I think Jarnkrok is the best target for this team.

If we truly go all in, which I think is more of a possibility than many here think, these would be my moves:

NYR: 2022 1st, Vitali Kravtsov
SJS: Tomas Hertl

NYR: Will Cuylle, 2023 3rd
SEA: Calle Jarnkrok


Kreider - Zibanejad - Kakko
Panarin - Strome - Chytil
Lafeniere - Hertl - Jarnkrok
Goodrow - Rooney - Reaves
Barron/Hunt/Gauthier

Lindgren - Fox
Miller - Trouba
Jones - Schneider
Nemeth/Lundkvist

Shesterkin
Georgiev

If Igor stands on his head, that roster can make some noise.

We are not trading Cuylle for 3rd liner Calle Jarnkrok

Probably not a lot to be honest, he's got an 8 team trade list which also impacts his value. But I'm not sure he's a player the Rangers covet.

This is...not happening

 

[DanielBrassard]

The NYR are pretty objectively being carried by goaltending and special teams. Their 5v5 play is near the bottom of the entire NHL.

Goaltending = we've seen that movie before. Special teams become less relevant in the POs due to fewer penalties being called.

Not surprising at all people are skeptical of this team.

I'm not sure it's true that there are fewer penalties in the playoffs. But you are right otherwise.

Gross overpay no thanks

yeah idk with drury. kessel was a big time performer on 2 cup winning teams tho.

 

[RGY]

Kessel just seems slow. We have a team that needs more speed, especially on the wings

That was 5 years ago.

There are flashes, but it is a legit concern.

In the back of my mind I worry we’re witnessing our version of the 13-14 Avs riding an unsustainable PDO wave.

 

[rangers1314]

What would it take to pry Buchnevich out of St. Louis?

A time machine

 

[wafflepadsave]

Tampa doesn't win without Vasy. The problem isn't the reliance on the goaltender... It's at the rate he's been off the ice that's worrying.

I see some similarity to Hank carrying the early Rangers teams into the playoffs that may not have been ready for those Washington teams with huge talent.

 

[wafflepadsave]

i think it can be looked at 2 ways. first, which everyone will agree, we are screwed without Igor. second, its really hard to judge our ability to compete with the top teams when the way the schedule has played out almost half those games have been without igor. therefore there is alot TBD in the games against those teams the rest of the way

We’ll see soon enough. Two upcoming games this week will be fun to watch. Hoping they’re on espn plus.

Get me Kempe and Kupari. Stephenson wouldn't be a bad option to add to our center core.

 

[Fitzy]

There's a shortage of good rental options this season which means the cost is gonna be sky high.

 

[dccuse]

Kessel and drouin. Maybe voracek

 

[effen]

According to a Kings friend, Kupari has been a donut this year and is about to be sent down. Take with as many grains of salt as needed.

 

[QJL]

Exactly. Everyone balked at the costs I just mentioned, but the price will be high for the top pieces. If we have that mindset, the overpayment will be necessary. I wouldn’t make the Hertl trade I suggested because I think this team should be thinking long term.

 

[Do you want ants]

Get me Kempe and Kupari. Stephenson wouldn't be a bad option to add to our center core.

Stephenson has really good ES numbers which would be perfect for us. Him or Smith would be a solid add seeing as we don’t how PP time for either.

Hi Habs fan

 

[bl02]

another one? Is this the one where they realize they could have 5 McDavids but it wouldn't matter with their goaltending?

 

[McRanger92]

Agree with this. The difference is there’s no power house in the Metro this year.
