Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXIII

[RGY]

Larsson to NYR maybe??

Isn’t that the guy who punched Fox in the back of the head? Yeah I don’t think that guy is coming to NY

Brashear knocked out Betts and he became a Ranger months later so?? If he helps the team so be it. He is good on faceoffs.

How long ago was that? What was the state of the team then?

This is a tight group. You think they want a guy who punched your Norris trophy winning defenseman in the back of the head? That’s not Blair Betts.

 

[Daves a mess]

Larsson could become a Ranger, punch a Ranger, and STAY a Ranger.



Cause that's how we roll yo...

Brasher is a good example of why we should not trade for Larsson.
Another good example for not doing a Larsson trade would be John MacLean.

Hajek for Larsson

 

[RangerBoy]

 

[RGY]

Not surprised. Let’s see how much they overpaid

 

[duhmetreE]

Nils, Othmann and 1st for Gourde @ $3M per and Gio Soucy
Hajek for Larsson

Kreider Zibs Laffy
Panarin Strome Vatrano
Goodrow Gourde Kakko
Hunt/Larsson/Rooney/Reaves/Brodz

KAM Trouba
Gio Lindgren Fox

This seems like an insane overpayment.

it is and what it'd probably take to get him with retention.

We'd still have Cuylle and Berard for cost controlled depth

 

[SnowblindNYR]

it is

So was the proposal tongue in cheek?

 

[Kocur26]

Dammit Giordano was my #1 target .

 

[SA16]

Larsson is a good defensive player and one of the worst offensive players in the league. Yes, I know what his stats are. He's a fine add as a 4th C if he's cheap. I doubt he'll be as cheap as he should be because of his random secondary assists this year making his offensive numbers look respectable.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

He wanted to get back with Brodie. Not surprised.

 

[duhmetreE]

So was the proposal tongue in cheek?

it wont be a 'fair value' trade. that's what it'd cost.

 

[Fitzy]

Why is everyone so bullish for a big deal?

 

[JimmyG89]

Rangers playing today might have them sitting out of trades until the game passes. Don't see them making a huge move since most of those players are already on the move.

Still need that depth D. Need 1 more forward too.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

it wont be a 'fair value' trade. that's what it'd cost.

So why would you want to make that trade? Othmann could end up being a better player than Gourde and he's not 30.

[Alluckks]

Dermott needs to be moved out of Toronto, if he didn't go in this deal then he is someone that the Rangers could absorb for a pick

 

[duhmetreE]

So why would you want to make that trade? Othmann could end up being a better player than Gourde and he's not 30.

He could. He also wont be that player when we have Fox, Kreider, Zibs, Panarin, Trouba and Shesty in their 'primes'.

I'm indifferent. I'd understand if we did make that trade.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

He could. He also wont be that player when we have Fox, Kreider, Zibs, Panarin, Trouba and Shesty in their primes.

I just don't get the fascination with Gourde.

 

[duhmetreE]

I just don't get the fascination with Gourde.

He's the exact type of player we need in the middle6. His numbers could take a massive leap, if he's centering Panarin.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

I really dont want De Haan as the plan B
