Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXII

[rangers1314]

Frank Vatrano to NYR for 2022 4th.

[JimmyG89]

Good player on the analytics side as well. Currently getting 12 minutes per game, so his numbers per game don't look great, but ES P/60 he's at 1.76. Would be 4th on the Rangers is ES P/60.

 

[EpicDing]

Solid deal!

[DanielBrassard]

This is a fine deal. 4th round pick is nothing.

Vatrano shoots a lot.

literally perfect addition when considering cost

1 or 2 more of those pls

 

[SA16]

Vatrano is very good. A huge volume shooter. A good goal scorer. He also is pretty aggressive and hits and blocks shots. I would replace Hunt with him on the Panarin line immediately.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I’m just going to say that I don’t agree and leave it at that for now. Primarily- are we sure he is a long term solution

No harm in disagreeing, but are you talking about the player or the money? We can't be 100% certain anyone is the LT solution, but if Karlsson becomes available, we'd be idiots to not be in on it, cost dependent. Obviously Drury needs to make the right call here.

As far as the dollars are concerned, what is your realistic amount for a 2C? We either have to pay someone in the $5-6M range or hope we can pull off a deal for a young C with potential who grows into the position.

 

[bl02]

almost a .45 ppg player. 28 years old. Not bad.

 

[RangerBoy]

I heard Greg on Marek's show today. Those guys are funny together. They had the podcast before Greg joined ESPN.

 

[effen]

Perrault is a player worth taking on waivers if he makes it to the Rangers. Good NHL depth.

One of the physically weakest players I've seen this side of Raphael Diaz. Pls no.

 

[JimmyG89]

Vatrano is very good. A huge volume shooter. A good goal scorer. He also is pretty aggressive and hits and blocks shots. I would replace Hunt with him on the Panarin line immediately.

He shoots everything. He is the anti-Strome. Perfect to pair together.

 

[rangers1314]

Lebrun says Hertl/Sharks are making progress

 

[RangerBoy]

We heard so many names connected to the Rangers. Nobody had Vatrano.

Lebrun says Hertl/Sharks are making progress

Good

 

[Boris Zubov]

Drury trading all of our prime assets for rentals. Rebuild is doomed

 

[rangers1314]

Has Vatrano played RW in his past?

 

[bl02]

Drury did pretty well here. Smart move

 

[Rangers in 7]

Not the point, the point is its another contract you have to deal with when the Rangers will already have enough to deal with. This is their thinking. It's only a 2 year elc for him.

if hes asking for big money thats because hes a star

 

[DialUp]

Goat sits by default for this

 

[Anthony5967]

It isn't a personnel issue.

The biggest problem we have as that we parted the seas for Kakko and Lafreniere to be consistent top 6 players and they haven't really stepped into it. Chytil sucks. We didn't lose Kravtsov so much as we bungled it. This keeps happening.

Every forward we have either can't score or scores a ton at the expense of everything else. It's happened too many times to be the players.

I'm not saying we couldn't use an acquisition or that it couldn't help short-term, but we're not going to see real change until the Rangers figure out why they keep poisoning the well.

Chytil doesn’t suck haha

 

[MrAlmost]

That's a good move. Didn't know he would even be available. Florida probably looking at making a big add.

 

[Machinehead]

Chytil doesn’t suck haha

Well, he doesn't have to. He has more talent than we've seen. Par for the course.

 

[17futurecap]

That's a good move. Didn't know he would even be available. Florida probably looking at making a big add.

Florida up to almost 5.5 million now, big deal coming for them.
