Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXIII - 2 months until TDL

[effen]

Would you believe Nemeth was a 2nd round pick?

They could have drafted another Nemeth instead of Olof Lindbom smh

Chychrun

For

Kravtsov, Chytil, Nemeth, and a 1st

Nemeth and Chytil contracts allow Rangers to fit Chychrun’s cap hit for next season and beyond.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Can we give Kreider the 'C' already?

 

[Mandar]

Chychrun/Schneider as the third pair? Yes please.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Chychrun/Schneider as the third pair? Yes please.

It'd probably be Miller and Braden

 

[Mandar]

It'd probably be Miller and Braden

I’m good with that too

Can't get over how dumb Arizona would be to trade a 23 year old stud defensemen. So insanely hard to come by. They could build around this guy.

They are horrible, and will be horrible for years to come. He won't be resigning with them when they start to get their first prospects in. So might as well trade him too for some futures.

 

[archanfelnsx]

Why does it seem like this coach is more interested in playing grinders loyal to him (Hunt, McKegg, etc.) than playing and developing highly skilled young players like Kakko, Laf, Kravtsov? He even isn't interested in playing good young players like Barron. Did we pick the right coach for this team or is this guy is being selfish ant trying to win the Cup ASAP before his coaching career is over?

If he is doing this to win a Cup I am onboard.

He's not just a 23 year old stud defensemen. He's also cost controlled at under $4.6mm for this season AND 3 more years! Arizona not going to compete those 3 years so it's a waste. They can collect more value

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Nemeth would be included or at the very least dealt in the offseason. Difference between his cap hit and Chychrun is $2.1MM.

Yotes are probably asking for Schneider in addition to Kravstov and a #1. Rangers best offer will probably be something like Kravstov, one of Jones, Lundkvist or Robertson and a #1.

I dont see the Yotes retaining at all.

Don’t know if this was posted yet

Will be awesome consolidating all our assets on defense and then having nothing at center. Winning strategy there.

Because those kids will develop better playing 12-15 minutes on a winning team than playing 18 minutes on a team near .500

 

[Avery16]

Drury does that deal all day long and doesn’t even think twice

Chychurn is not some bum 35 year old defenseman. He’s 23 years old and signed for practically nothing the next 3 years

If Chytil is going, we should expand the deal and ask for Hayton.

 

[wafflepadsave]

Kings play at the Rangers on Monday...wouldn't look any more into it

Kings are in on chynchrun as well.

That is when we announce a resigning of Strome long term hey it keeps Panarin happy.

 

[Avery16]

If you think about how bad Nemeth is.... and how he's always on the ice for GA... what happens if he's upgraded with Chychrun?

In his infinite wisdom, Drury gave Nemeth an 8-team NTC. Have to think Arizona is on that list.

No longer his linemate

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

You gotta wonder about Kaapo... apparently he dressed and took part in warm ups but sat out with "upper body," he may have actually been scratched and traded at that point. Guess we'll find out soon

 

[wafflepadsave]

Chychrun/Schneider as the third pair? Yes please.

Being able to throw out a 3rd pair like that would give fox more rest!

 

[Rangers in 7]

He’s not getting traded…

That actually happens quite frequently. Players with nagging injuries take the pregame skate to determine if they can go or not.

Kakko, Chytil, Nemeth, 1st for Keller@50% and Chychrun?

 

[MarkMessyay11]

If we are that team, yeah that seems about right. But it it was us, why wouldn't Marek just say we are the team who fulfilled Arizona's request?

You’re right. No idea if it’s us…just trying to see what fits the bill.

 

[DanielBrassard]

No I know, and I think you are right in the ballpark.
