Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXII

[DanielBrassard]

I think they will keep Hunt on the 2nd line for now, Frankie V with Chytil and Brodzinski, Goodrow-Mckegg-Reaves, Gauthier is the odd man out.

You get all worked up when Larry is referenced or mentioned, as well as jumping on multiple posters including myself for simply discussing what he's writing about. Why such vitriol toward the guy & why can't we discuss it without you blowing a gasket?

Because what he is writing has no legs and people run with it because they believe he is an actual beat writer. He hasnt been for years, he writes editorial pieces that have nothing to do with facts.

My problem is that your discussing absolute nonsense from him and then it gets run as a rumor on here and im sick and tired of seeing his bull posted. If you want to post it, post it as an opinion.

Has Vatrano played RW in his past?

I'm pretty sure he's played both sides

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Sometimes the wrong guy in a dressingroom is a killer, been a part of a few teams that one guy can just poison the whole group, make it less fun and more of a chore to come to the rink. His contract is decent if he actually produces and lifts players up around him.

It's the salary cap killing that dressing room.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

if hes asking for big money thats because hes a star

Big money or not it's another mouth to feed and Rangers don't want that on their plate.

Well, I mean when you can't even enjoy a win because a color-coded pie chart suggests you should lose and you're all hung up on that instead of the win, there's a major problem. Teams that are good win games in every which way possible, not just when they outshoot the opponent or play sexy Florida Panthers drag race hockey. Saw the Lafreniere thread bumpin again after last night. Not even going to go into there.

It's a fad and in ten year we will have people with a totally different angle spamming threads.

For those of us who actually do real scientific research with quantitative methodology, a lot of the evidence that gets tossed around by Vally and others on twitter would quite literally never clear peer review. I'd desk reject a lot of it just based on over zealous assumptions.

Wonder where he ends up

I'd actually love for him to return to Calgary. He's such a likeable player and that team has emerged as a real contender. It has the makings of a great story.

I want Craig Anderson to win a cup so badly too.

Seems like they are in deep on Chiarot. could see Florida or St. Louis, or even the Bruins.

Really like Vatrano as an addition. Clearly Florida is gearing up for a big move and needed the cap space. Giving up a 4th is absolutely nothing at all. He has always had good possession stats. He has an unbelievably good shot. Almost all of his points this year are at even strength. From watching him, he doesn't seem like a disaster in his own zone. I don't know if he can play RW, but even if not, he could make a pretty strong 3rd line with Goodrow and Chytl.

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

So Florida is cooking something big then.

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

This is exactly the move that literally everyone is fine with.

 

[TominNC]

Specifically who would you be upset at going besides Kakko ?

I was talking about your long list of players going.

 

[Machinehead]

Predicted something exactly like this.

 

[Creepingjeff]

This is exactly the move that literally everyone is fine with.

This x1000000. Giving up a later draft pick and using their cap space to their advantage. It would be crazy not to use the massive weapon that is their cap space in anyway.

 

[SA16]

Perfect pickup.

19 points this year. Only 2 on the PP.
26 points last year. Only 4 on the PP.
34 points two years ago. Only 2 on the PP.


Exactly the type of guy we need who can ride shotgun to some good playmakers and provide even strength scoring with his shot.

Here’s a small tidbit -
It was April 2, 2014 — J.T. Miller’s second pro season — and the New York Rangers were fed up.

Miller had missed curfew on the road in Vancouver. He was sent home early on a lonely commercial flight and demoted to Hartford for the sixth time that season as punishment.


It’s a fantastic article On his journey from New York to Tampa, to vancouver

Can someone translate this and send it to Kravtsov?

 

[mas0764]

Can someone translate this and send it to Kravtsov?

And the moral of that story is, the Rangers shouldn't have traded JT Miller.

 

[SA16]

Can someone translate this and send it to Kravtsov?

Sure but what make you thinks he would have the attention span to actually read it?

 

[LeetchisGod]

I don't hate it.

Daily Faceoff Show: Pete DeBoer says Vegas goaltending is an issue

The Vegas Golden Knights are having goalie problems, and it might mean they miss the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.

www.dailyfaceoff.com

Georgiev to Vegas for the Rangers 3rd round pick in 2022. Ryan Reaves trade. Put conditions into the deal. If Vegas makes the playoffs and gets on a run with Georgiev appearing/starting in 75% of the games, the Rangers get a higher pick. If Vegas makes the WCF, the pick becomes a 2nd in 2022 or 2024. Vegas sent their 2nd in 2023 to Buffalo. If Vegas reaches the Stanley Cup finals, the pick becomes a #1 pick in 2023,

I'm impressed with HF, I don't think I've seen a move universally praised like this almost ever. Del Zotto-Klein maybe?
