Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXII

[NYR Viper]

Based on what I’m seeing here, I’m even more interested in Kessel for peanuts and just absorbing his entire cap hit

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

For good reason it seems, he has that team humming. They probably have more skill than those teams did too.

They're going to stomp Colorado and I'm going to enjoy it so much.

 

[charliemurphy]

Vegas is not going to trade Karlsson. They are trying to make the playoffs. They will likely have Stone back if they get there. Why would they voluntarily make their team worse? If they need to trade him to clear cap they can do so in the offseason.

Offseason works for me, lol

Didnt realize Florida now doesnt have a 1st in 22 or 23. How do they expect to get Giroux? Head scratching trade, especially when Lindholm & Chychrun were right there. Maybe they panicked when Forsling got hurt? Glad it wasnt us

 

[mas0764]

They should be. This is the most talented team that they've ever had.

They should have been all in last year and taken Buch for Lundell.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Kessel with no retention for a 3rd get it done!

 

[McRanger92]

Zacha hasnt done anything noteworthy in his entire career

It's hard to imagine they are still in on Giroux without the 1sts, but maybe they overwhelm Philly with prospects instead.

I bet he will be a Penguin by the deadline..

Speaking of former Penguins, If his cap hit was not so high, I would not mind a Hornqvist type someone that goes to the net. Those type of ugly goals happen in the playoffs and less of the pretty goals.

Just as a general statement, no one here should be at all worried if the Rangers trade 1 or both of this years 2nd round picks. Their present and future value are so much less than what an actual player can provide to the team now. Even a late 1st wont be missed after the amount of picks the Rangers have made the last 5 years. they will backfill with NCAA Free Agents most likely anyway

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Zito has done some great shit.

This is the first move of his I flat out haven’t liked at all.

Really wonder what the NYRs big move will be.

Agreed, but I'd prefer they went for someone who will be here past the end of this season. The 1st rounder that is.

I dont disagree but with the players available right now it really doesn't make sense to burn a 1st. A second sure. 1st definitely not and especially not for a pending UFA.

 

[mas0764]

As long as it only costs a second. No Robertson.

 

[RGY]

We're giving it up for Kane.

At least he has term

 

[DanielBrassard]

Don't wanna pay the price for Gio, but if they throw in Blackwell it might convince me.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Patrick Kane at 50%. I'd bet on it.

 

[RGY]

Lehkonen isnt a rental and hes actually a very good player and only 26. Agreed on Rakell though.

My apologies. You are right about Lekhonen on his contract status.

With that said, still paying a 1st rd pick for him. Have an extreme hard time paying a 2nd rd pick for him.

 

[duhmetreE]

This team can use Gio's experience

 

[RGY]

Kessel with no retention for a 3rd get it done!

Um, that should be a 4th or 5th with no retention lol

 

[duhmetreE]

wtf is the infatuation with Kessel?

how can you watch this team and think he's what we need? He's exactly what's wrong with our talent 5v5.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Patrick Kane at 50%. I'd bet on it.

That only works if we can get a team to another 25%. With that said, I really hope that's not our big move.

 

[RGY]

Cannot afford to pay a 1st for Giordano. Can barely afford to pay a 2nd for him. He isnt the same player he was years ago, which is fair given his age. Toronto is going to get stupid and desperate here.
