Roster Building Thread VI (2022-23): Offseason edition

[Guyute]

I'm losing my f***ing mind here over this Twitter BS. Musk, get it fixed.

We're getting Musked once again. All the guy does is screw people over.

 

[NYR94]

Do the Rangers even have enough cap room to do anything other than re-sign Laf and KAM and sign a backup? Seems very tight which is frustrating because they could use a RW like Sprong who Seattle didn't qualify for some reason.

I haven't had any trouble with twitter today. Is it a geographical thing?

 

[ecemleafs]

is today the beginning of FA?

They would have like 3-4M after Miller (4?), Laf (2.3-5?), BUG (1M),

11.7 - 7.3

4M+

If they go with Laf or Kreider (he did better) on RW it helps a whole lot.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Kreider-Zib-Kakko
Panarin-Chytil-Laf
Goodrow-Tro - ?
Cuylle ? Vesey

Honestly might be the best they can go with this year putting the kids in the best position to succeed

 

[SRHRangers]

LaF-Z-KK
Bread-Chytil-BO
Krieder -Tro- Vesey
WC- ???- Goodrow

Miller-Fox
Jones-Trouba
Lindgren -Schneider

I do agree that it is time to see what Miller can do with top Minutes. Trouba needs a puck carrier, and Lindgren would do wonder for Schneider.

Only way I add is if Duchene is willing to come here on the cheap. He would be very interesting on Panarins line.

Sign a 4c for roughly 1.5 mil aav

What did Goodrow show you last year that said he would be a good 3C?

He played in the top 6 a lot of the year so i figure thats a demotion lol. He's fine as a bottom 6 center as long as he has decent players with him. We needed right wings or a LD all year, could have spent some Trochek money on that instead. Would we be better this year with option 1 or 2?

Panarin Zibanejad Kakko
Lafreniere Chytil Tarasenko
Kreider Goodrow Berard
Vesey ???? Cullye

Kreider Zib Kakko
Panarin Trochek ???
Laf Chytil Berard
Vesey Goodrow Cullye

Id pick 1.

For whoever has it downIt’s been down for me in CT. I just set my vpn to out of the states and it’s working now.

What I missed was
OEL to panthers for 2.25
reeves to tor for 1.35 for 3 years.

Friedman on laf:

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Quick at 1.2 is lowkey horrendous considering he sucks ass

How do they not get him at the minimum?


The Chris Drury special

The Sather special

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

If the Rangers could get Duchene for Goodrow money trade him with a 2nd for sure. Lol

AFP has Duchene at 3.7 x 3

 

[Crease]

Damnit Elon get Twitter back up it’s Free Agency Day.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Not a fan but he does bring speed to a lineup that needs some.

Never thought Laf would be traded in a cap crunch if doesn’t actually help anything lol

 

[Shesterkybomb]

The only thing Twitter is good for is hockey updates and they can't even do that right

Better than Goodrow for the same $ lol but he does push a kid down then most likely

Argo f*** yourself Arthur

Word is Rangers have indicated they are committed to keeping Alexis Lafreniere.

Staple is a hack

He is a prat and a hack.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Never made sense. Finding a guy who had 40 points + obviously more potential for 2.3-5 really isn’t very likely

 

[RGY]

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Have to find a way to move Goodrow. They probably won't, but his contract is stopping them from doing anything to improve their roster depth.

If they can't move him:

Lafreniere - Zibanejad - Kreider
Panarin - Chytil - Kakko
Othmann - Trocheck - Cyulle
Vesey - Goodrow - Pajuniemi

Miller - Fox
Jones - Trouba
Lindgren - Schneider

Get the kids playing. Cyulle, Pajuniemi, and Jones have all produced in the AHL. Isn't that the point, if they produce at the AHL level they be given a fair shot at the NHL roster.

Have to plug these kids in as cheap options and let them grow and contribute.

If there's cap space add a player like McLeod (preferred due to age) or Eller and make the 4th line:

Vesey - McLeod/Eller - Goodrow

Goodrow has a 15 team no trade list. See if you can work out a deal with one of the teams not on the list.
