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

[DanielBrassard]

JT and Chychrun at 50% each. Get it done.

 

[effen]

Petterson is a jellyhead, if he were available it would be a massive red flag.

 

[rangers1314]

Not a bad thing to have, but I feel like improving our 13F is like #5 or 6 on list of needs right now.

I don't think it's anything to really give a 2nd thought to.

The passing mentioning of a 4th line center 6 weeks from the deadline.

 

[NYR Viper]

The Rangers have cap space. If they want to add a depth forward just look around for an overpaid but still effective vet who a basement dweller is looking to unload to save real dollars. Arizona has a few

I agree. I’d just rather hear passing mentionings about a top-6 F.

JT Miller

JT Miller

I personally doubt a piece like Miller gets moved before Van hires their GM.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I don’t see how Ryan Carpenter improves this roster.

Ryan Carpenter doesn't improve any roster, unless it's the AHL.

 

[rangers1314]

Eh, Rutherford is running the show there.

 

[McRanger92]

McDavid is not attainable until he makes it clear he wants out, at which point, he's probably fetching a four asset package like most stars do, but then plus a substantial premium.

Still, it won't be as high as everyone thinks, because gutting your team for McDavid leaves you right back where the Oilers are and no one will want that.

The Oilers will trade Draisatl long before they entertain dealing McDavid

 

[McRanger92]

Seravelli was on with Marek today:
- Still ties AG to Edmonton
- Says NYR will be "pretty frisky". Could be looking for 2 forwards. They are in on JT Miller. Have called Chicago on Ryan Carpenter (GG had Carpenter in Vegas).
- Rangers have called on lehkonen, but says a ton of teams are after him.

Seravelli continuing to push the Miller stuff. I like JT a lot and he will fill a need here but i think it needs to done with salary retained. They cant afford to lose Strome for nothing on top of whatever package they give Vancouver

 

[rangers1314]

Well its about McDavid saying he wants out. Of course Edmonton would never want to move him.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

JT Miller

I really hope not, but if we do deal for JT we better not be giving up great prospects for him.

1st, Reunenen, and Pujienemi, thats it.. That is near the deal of Hajek, Howden, 1st for McD. OTherwise, Vancouver can go F themselves and hold onto him or trade him elsewhere.

Not getting Schnieder, Robertson, Nils, or Jones.
Not getting Othmann, Berard, Cuylle

Its just stupid to trade our top prospects for a guy who wont be here long term. Great hes here for another year after this.. He will be nearly 30 and will be looking for Chris Krieder type money and contract on his next deal. No thanks.

He seems to be the only one who keeps pushing this. Everyone else has been saying it’s more of a passing interest

Frank is probably the top insider in the game now that Bob is retired.

either him for Friedman.

I dont think Miller is a likely addition but Seravelli has sources. The path of least resistance is to just add rentals to not muddy the cap situation. The Rangers being able to take on full contracts should also keep the prices in check.

 

[bobbop]

Carpenter is a useful piece for the bottom of the roster. Price would be minimal.

Not going to affect the other trade targets.

 

[SA16]

Yet according to this board he knows less than random anonymous posters on message boards

 

[bleedblue94]

Why is chychrun trade proposals being suggested around what the cost was for trouba? Trouba basically made in known in circles he wanted to be traded here and the jets were in an awful position. Chychrun is going to have at least a half dozen serious suitors trying to trade for him. It's apples and oranges...

Besides crushing it during the expansion draft (where he clearly had a source with the kraken) what has frank been ahead of everyone else with this year? As for the rangers he's been basically linking them to everyone in some manner just like everyone else does. I just don't know what frank has really done besides the ED to distinguish himself from other insiders to be considered the new Mackenzie?

 

[bleedblue94]

Producing 0.50 ppg despite bottom 6 minutes make him an attractive target if he can be acquired reasonably in trade.

What is reasonably? They gave up a 1st and 3rd for him, so what would be reasonable for them to move him now, especially when multiple outlets said they tried to trade for him before the offer sheet? They clearly wanted the player, it wasn't all about revenge, otherwise they wouldn't have made trade offers before the offer sheet was signed.

You must be new here. Someone give this man a tour

There have been no relevant moves in the league in months. What do you want him to do? Manufacture trades that are close that aren't?

Agree.

Well if that is your standard than how has he been so good? You can defend him by saying there has been no league movement and simultaneously say he has become the top insider while... There has been no league movement.

Also, there is more to league reporting than just trades. Friedman has been all over everything in the league this year with one MAJOR miss that he complete wore.

This isn't a he or him thing, but freidman has a long history going for him, servelli has one weekend that made him a name with the expansion draft, other than that he hasn't really don't anything.
