Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXIV

[DialUp]

NEVER DOUBT DRURY

Rangers Acquire Maxim Letunov

HFD gets a center

Played 2 years at UConn with Huska

 

[DialUp]

I was told repeatedly that McKegg would not come out of the lineup at all bc turk loved him. Was flat out told that rental trades would be benched for keg. Funny how all that shit has disappeared...

Oh I've said that, and a ton of other dumb things. If he actually returns to the line up or not, I still THINK he will, which is ultimately just as nightmarish.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Confusing move. I doubt Tarmo was ever going to make it with us but I dont see a reason why we would do this.

He may have requested this...

to get more centers...

He may have requested this...

virtually all players in minors for years+ request a trade in hopes of joining a org that has a need for them...

 

[Trxjw]

Basically just a swap of guys who are likely going back overseas but for now fit the needs a bit better. Rangers were almost certainly walking away from Reunanen this summer.

Tarmo probably wanted out.

Sooo where we penciling in Letunov? Maybe a look on the wall in PP2?

Finally our Strome replacement!

 

[TheBPA]

Obviously this was to give Kravtsov a buddy when he flies over after his season ends and is assigned to Hartford.

 

[JimmyG89]

From Moscow, huh. Wonder if that means a certain someone will come back over and report for Hartford when his season is over

 

[Avery16]

Letunov is a pending G6 UFA. This is literally Reunanen for nothing.

 

[kovazub94]

Gauthier for Keane 2.0

 

[RangersFan1994]

Letunov is a pending G6 UFA. This is literally Reunanen for nothing.

I would have preferred a pick and some AHL veteran guy with leadership and playoff games under his belt. This guy has not progressed much at all at 26 and his stats are below average. I hope he does well for Hartford though.

That's what it seems like. Selling low.

Unless this is a move to lure Kravtsov back, in which case, A+.

 

[McRanger92]

Reunanen will be back in Europe next year. Big 'ol nothingburger with this trade

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Agreed that Reunanen was gone this summer regardless.

Basically a pure Hartford trade for the playoff run.

 

[bigdog16]

Reunanan wasn't getting us more than a 6th or 7th round pick in a trade anyways. Im sure we looked to move him earlier and there was likely no interest.

Kind of a throwaway for a Hartford playoff run. But I like the Kravtsov angle...That'd be something

 

[rangers1314]

Letunov is 5 years older than VK and has played every season since 2013 in the US, starting in the USHL then going on to the NCAA.

This has nothing to do VK.

 

[SA16]

Is Carolina expecting Reunanen to step in as their DeAngelo replacement next year after they are priced out of extending him?

 

[cwede]

Tarmo trade raises to 6 # of pending UFAs NYR have acquired (for longer term assets, except for Bitetto deal) in last 2 weeks

Six less people to sign IMHO. Drury lowering his workload so he can spend more time at the beach/pizza place this off season.

 

[pld459666]

Barclay Coodrow?

Nice catch

Opening up contract slots to sign UDFAs like Trivigno!
