Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXII

[rangers1314]

Per Mollie Walker - Laf is now listed on the NHL Media sites NYR roster, Barron is not

 

[Savant]

Completely missed the point, but ok.

The deal for Ryan Mcdonagh was hajek, 1st, and howden. Which equates to our prospect board to a 1st, reunenen, and a guy like vierling/pujeniemi.

Not our top prospects like Nils, Schnieder, and so on.

I get the point. Trades aren’t as fun if you don’t get to troll the other team. It doesn’t mean that teams are going to try and do apples to apples proposals with each other. This McDonagh trade reference is a bad example. Hajek underachieved but his stock when he was traded is certainly higher than Reunanen’s right now.

 

[cwede]

Call me simple but I'd be happy with this as a deadline from Drury.
To EDM: Georgiev
To NYR: Koskinen + EDM 2nd '23 + EDM 3rd '23

To MON: Gauthier + EDM or NYR 3rd '23 (whichever is better)
To NYR: Lehkonen

doesn't suck, but might prefer incoming wing be more of a shooter and at RW

?maybe just deal w Habs, send Georgie to Gorts, and bring back Jake Allen, who can also backup next season?
since Gorts went to Habs, i've anticipated them as possible destination for some of Gorts acquisitions - Georgie, Krav, Hajek, Gauth, some draftees
Mysek and/or Tuch could be good parts of returns

Panarin Strome Kakko
Kreider Zibs Laffy
Lehkohnen Goodrow Chytil
Hunt Rooney Reaves
Barron

 

[McRanger92]

He really has. He’s been as advertised. Good at the dot, responsible defensively, and contributes on the offense a bit.
plus he makes us bigger down the middle. I wished they called him up earlier.
It’s frustrating because had that happened, he would have likely stuck as a permanent player instead of this taxi squad nonsense or going back to the A when a trade is made.
He’s currently a better option at C and chytil seems to like the wing...
I just don’t trust gallant to keep Barron as a 3C and not move up Rooney, which is a mistake.
It’s one of the main reasons I think they’ll be adding a player or 2

It could be they are a little hesitant to throw Barron into the deep end like they did for Brett Howden. I want him here, but its encouraging that after he was sent down following his cup of coffee in October, he played well in HFD and looked better in his second stint with the big club. He' developing well and his chance will come, even if it takes longer than we like

[Boris Zubov]

I want Drury to trade the BFF

Or at least, not resign him.

 

[bhamill]

Ill help you. JT Miller is not the guy you overpay for and thats what the Nucks are looking for.

yeah. I mean I would agree with that.

 

[bhamill]

Anyone that uses the word straw man automatically gets sent to ignore. Just for the record.

Harsh! Hahaha. In the UK they call it an Aunt Sally. Somehow even worse.

 

[GAGLine]

It sucks that we still have 2 weeks off. I was hoping we'd get some games during that time.

Lots of practice time during that 2 weeks and I bet we see a trade or 2 to get some guys acclimated to the team before the stretch run.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Yea it is odd. Then the stretch run looks to be a real sprint, not a lot of extra time off the rest of the way.

Can I get Holloway instead?

 

[mike14]

The all-star weekend runs from 03-07 Feb, so it's really only a week off

 

[Thirty One]

McKegg here to stay.

[RangersFan1994]

McKegg you're awful and you completely have no future here. Please go away

 

[IDvsEGO]

Can I get Holloway instead?

I dont get why we arent pushing for that. Edmonton is in a free fall, Mcdavid and Draisaitl look ready to both demand trades, this is the year they should be mortgaging the future to get into the playoffs at least.

Holloway for Geo + would be perfect for us,
We can take back koskinen if needed because the cap doesn't bother us, and if we do this deal early enough maybe flip him if he rebounds when not behind the worst defensive core in the NHL.

We dont need additional picks, we have a core group of players that should last us into several prime cup years (if laf and kakko don't develop we have other issues), we have a cubbard of young prospects to replace some of the Pricier vets at most positions with the exception of center.

The plus would have to be something of approximately Holloway's worth.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

With quotes like that, this team is going nowhere with Gallant at the helm.

 

[McRanger92]

Can I get Holloway instead?

Edmonton is desperate so why are we moving a solid backup for a worse goalie and middling picks? You need to bend the Oilers over if they want Georgie and if they dont pay up its their loss. Holloway would be a really nice add.

 

[IDvsEGO]

The plus would have to be something of approximately Holloway's worth.

We have prospects not named schneider.
Also Edmonton is the one with the major need, so we should have the advantage there.

 

[McRanger92]

McKegg here to stay.

I dont get why everyone is so worried about McKegg. He's the 13th forward, that's not a role I want Barron or any other prospect in. I do think Chytil/Gauthier/Hunt are essentially playing for their jobs before the deadline, and any could be replaced buy external adds or Barron if he continues to develop well.

Barron looked good recently. He should continue to get experience at center and winning faceoffs at the NHL level

I prefer him in Hartford if he's not getting significant minutes here. He's developing well. I think the McKegg stuff is complaining to complain.

And Gallant's quote about the AHL guys not being able to take NHL jobs is BS. Schneider literally just did it to Nils/Hajek/Tinordi
