Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXII

[duhmetreE]

I just dont think its an upgrade. I dont think Chytil can handle 2nd line duties. I also dont think teams are going to be trading high upside centers unless we pay a lot. I know people are down on Lindgren, but I dont think its worth upgrading our D at the cost of a better center.

I don't think he's a Center but it's what we have.

With the cap, there really isn't much to trade for when it comes to middle6 centers... It's a select few.

or memes can bevome reality and Laffy or someone moves to Center

 

[Taluss]

Good news

 

[rangers1314]

Pagnotta says the expectation is that Ottawa will move Nick Paul

 

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

Like

I think we should basically still be asset adding and developing our kids.

Like the Edmonton Oilers of the last 20 years and how many cups or yet, how many cup runs has that asset hoarding organization been in???

 

[Kocur26]

Hard pass Lindholm @ 3 pieces - I’ll take Giordano.

 

[RangersFan1994]

rather trade for Radek Faksa who fills a need as a gritty shutdown center. Radulov is cooked.


i would do Chytil, Kravtsov and Robertson for Faksa and Gurianov

Goodrow Faksa Gurianov is a nice 3rd line to have. Way better than McKegg, Gauthier and Chytil

 

[Gardner McKay]

I swear to god the average 9 year old has better grammar than Goon.

Roger Dicklund is also a more credible source than little dicky doo Ricky. Most of his "insight" was completely discredited by legitimate sources.

I think it would be difficult to get Faksa or Hintz out of Dallas, but they are good targets, i.e., the right style.

 

[Greg02]

I really hope we don't trade Robertson. I have zero time to watch prospect games these days and basically only know the basics about him, but for some reason I get the feeling that out of our group of prospect Dmen, he's the one who would become an impact player for us.

Hintz i doubt is moved but I can see them moving Faksa due to future cap issues. Faksa would be a gritty physical center they need with size. I would move Kravtsov to get him. He is good on faceoffs which is a need with the current Rangers centers

It's usually the ones who aren't hyped up offensively like Jones and Nils who pan out unexpectedly, so you may be onto something.

I like his attributes, but if he is dealt to bring in someone the Rangers can extend long term to plug a hole I can live with it. Same could be said for the other two really. Depends on the return.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Faksa is bad and his contract stinks. No thanks.

 

[OriginalLimbo]

Disfigured Ramsay Bolton comes to mind. Would DAL give us a pick to take him off their hands? He will give us more than Gauthier does

As an organization we have a really good history of developing no-frills defense first blueliners, which bodes well for Matthew.

That said, if you're telling me I have to give up one of Jones, Robertson, Nils... given what we know today I think I'd send Robertson first.

Hope they move Connor Brown too

Faksa is not a shutdown center. He plays in that role and he's bad at it.

Action heating up as Wild look to deal McBain's rights - TSN.ca

The Jack McBain sweepstakes are heating up. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports there are multiple teams "eager" to acquire the signing rights to the 22-year-old from the Minnesota Wild.

Are we talking about giving them up for no return? Or giving them up with the context of them fetching "market" price? Because those are two very different value propositions.

I suppose you’re right. I think the market value is probably Nils, Jones, Robertson in that order, so what we recoup is certainly relevant to the choice.

Then again, there’s a pretty big market glut of small puck moving defensemen on the brink of entering the NHL so that could change things

 

[RangersFan1994]

Rangers better be on this

 

[duhmetreE]

It's been brought up a couple times but I could see Eakin being a NYR by the TDL

 

[Savant]

If the Blues are really shopping Binnington RIP to any Georgiev trade

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I like Zac Jones a lot. I want him to stick on the 3rd pair next season.

But if he holds the second most value + Fox is taking 75% of the PP time for the next decade (with some combination of Miller/Trouba/Schneider/? mopping up the last 25%)...I'd consider dealing him.

We have future cap issues. Faksa is at best a 3rd line center, making 3.25 mil for the next 3 years. We need a 2C.

Binnington has a long term deal. Georgiev would be a cheaper contract. Maybe not better, but in a cap crunch, he's likely to be moved first. Blues moving Binnington would almost be a dump unless someone with term and dollars close is coming back.

Georgiev would be more coveted based on that alone.
