Speculation: Roster Building Thread: (still) No Quinn In NY Edition

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Trocheck is, for my money, a better finisher than Strome. Strome scored plenty of goals for us but the objective viewer could see that his shooting and decisions close to the net left something to be desired. The line never had a true trigger puller.

Panarin-Trochek-Kravtsov is not a hypothetical line that would require Panarin to shoot when there are other options available. Question is if we get that or if Gallant tries to throw Laf there which would be a whole other can of worms.

Kinda stinks that the eras didn't align but I think prime Cammalleri would have scored 40+ with Panarin on his wing.

Trocheck is an upgrade in a variety of areas, but I will say Strome was very involved offensively contributing to many offensive chances and goals, and he quietly did a lot of little things on a very successful Powerplay in his positioning, puck recovery and movement that wasn’t necessarily noticed.

But I’ll still take Trocheck because his game is so much more important in the playoffs.

Yea that 45.2 FO% he had last year sure would help

Would really help with the overall team speed just as well.

Every year someone suggests Brian Boyle.

in terms of forwards, any of that Berard /Cuylle/Othmann group making the team improves them more than anyone they are getting on PTO. De Haan was probably the last PTO dman that made sense Too.

Rodrigues would be very interesting to me but I doubt he takes a PTO anywhere but Pittsburgh

Multiple times a year. Usually first as a PTO for training camp, then sometime around December foowed by the trade deadline then the following summer after thr free agent frenzy subsides.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen the brassard movement yet.

I guess there’s still time.

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Can I also love that you used Spaceballs! My favorite movie

That’s ‘History of the World: Part 1’ my guy.

Another Mel Brooks classic.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Holds the NY Rangers single season record for goals by a defenseman. Oh, Trader Phil, you sucked as a GM. Terrible return.
This many days till opening night:

29 is the worst looking number on a jersey

For me, it’s 66. Could be because of the player in it though?

I saw him mentioned too…

It’s so ugly, that it kind of becomes cool.

Its time to trade for Stepan tbh. And brick back Dan G to the franchise with the coaching setup. Brian Boyle is our destined 4thliner, make it happen.

There.

 

[JimmyG89]

Avs get a good 3rd liner for next to nothing. Not a bad replacement for Burakovsky.

 

[RGY]

Motte is not getting much if you have Evan Rodrigues getting only $2 million.

 

[Savant]

Not even close.

I don’t think any double number jersey looks that bad honestly. 29 looks like garbage.

One of the pieces we got back was Oilers legend, Stu Kulak. Played 3 whole games as a Ranger then took a stick in the eye & that was that.

this is actually a good deal since there were people talking about him getting a pto a couple weeks ago. he found a great spot. it's possible motte is waiting to see if something happens for teams at camp that opens up his options in specific locations that he wants to live, but it does look like his agent made some mistakes here

 

[Machinehead]

I do like Boyle but he's regressed and he's too slow for what we need

its so weird because I look at the Avs roster and they are top heavy but we know they are going to be great still
