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

[Alluckks]

Ray Ferraro said that the Rangers and Coyotes have been talking.

Kessel could be an option.

Maybe the Rangers are looking for a deal that gets more than 1 piece from Arizona.

 

[McRanger92]

I pray that you are right about that.

Lundell would be amazing.

I really couldn't engineer a better fit for exactly what we need.

20 years old.... check

On an ELC.... check

Can play in the NHL right now and contribute .... check

Has future mid-level 1C potential .... check

Plays a gritty, defensive-conscious game.... check

Has tons of unrealized upside and yet a very high floor .... check

Pipe dream. Why would Florida ever in a million years trade Lundell to one of their main competitors in the Eastern Conference?

Id still be holding firm at Kravtsov, Nils, 1st round pick. Maybe adds on both sides depending on the deal (Kessel/Boyd/Salary Retention/Chytil/Georgiev)

Exactly. Rangers would have drafted him if they didn't win the lottery in 2020. At this point, the ship ha sailed. I'd be shocked if Florida traded him to begin with, but if they did, it isn't likely to be here.

I could easily see Arizona valuing Kravstov lower because they would think that they couldn't convince him to come over and play.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Honest question but is anyone a bit surprised at the attention Schneider is getting from other teams' fans in trade proposals? It seems his popularity has risen a bit fairly quickly. I always thought Nils L. was the more coveted prospect but now it seems like he's a boring name to add to a trade proposal while other fans have tunnel vision for Schneider. I'm just a bit surprised that's all.

The only reason this is so is because Nils didn’t light it up out of the gate. If Schneider had made the team and Lundkvist was the one down in the AHL for half the year, guaranteed the exact opposite of this conversation would be happening.

Not even 6 months ago Lundkvist was one of the best defensive prospects in the world, and now after a slow start you’ll have other fans (and some Ranger fans) telling you he’s a bust

Could be. Id offer Chytil if that were the case. At this stage of the game, I'm holding on to Laf/Kakko/Miller/Schneider, as good a Chychrun is

Flip side is that Krav could probably walk into their top 6 now, and especially by the end of the season if they ship Kessel out.
Get a kid with upside, who you have room for, on a cheap salary and you've got time to evaluate whether he's worth keeping around or moving to recoup some assets

 

[Do you want ants]

The brain dead on the main board is so strong

Vancouver fans posting about getting Laf for JT Miller now even in main board threads, rather than keeping their ridiculousness in their own forum

In their defense the islander fan trying to convince them that Miller fits our time line better than ours doesn’t help. Just straight up fantasy land though.

 

[smoneil]

Jacob and Jacob.

Poor Sam

But then we can just call the third pair Less than Jake, and play ska music when they are on the ice.

My thoughts as well. The Rangers offered a package of Kravtsov with other stuff, but the Coyotes are probably insisting on Miller or possibly Kakko being involved. Might be about finding the other pieces in order to give the Coyotes want they want. The Rangers need to ante up if they want him instead of another team getting him.

 

[Greg02]

If we acquire pieces like Chychrun or Miller, how much does their value drop in the offseason?

On HF main board?

by like 300%

Where/when did he say this? Link?

Jacob and Jacob.

Poor Sam

correction, Jacob and Jakob

Not as bad as Micheal Haley

 

[Thirty One]

Insider Trading: Leafs open to acquiring players with term ahead of trade deadline

Dreger lists 5 teams with strong interest in Chychrun. Rangers not mentioned.

 

[zlev]

ugh. Kessel, Chychrun, Miller...I don't want any of these guys, especially for what it looks like they're going to cost. just go get Reilly Smith and call it a day.

 

[Mandar]

@Edge ….. have you heard anything current regarding Chychrun or Miller (or anything else)? Much thanks….

 

[Fitzy]

Gonna assume hockeydb is just being dumb since they've got Nils listed both with Lulea and Hartford Nils Lundkvist Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com
