Speculation: Roster Building Thread XI

[NYR94]

The Hawks list. Scott Powers of The Athletic reported it.

Borgstrom
DeBrincat
Hagel
Kampf
Kane
Strome
Toews

Jones
Murphy
Stillman

Lankinen

So who does Seattle take, De Haan?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I’ve been. I love the place. I agree that Tony probably wouldn’t.

But real life isn’t Twitter. And people in America don’t know anything about hockey players.

Again, I get it, and you guys are probably right. But I think we overrate some of these perceptions.

I hear you and honestly to a large degree agree with this statement. But if they take him in the ED, that is THE STORY getting clicks and shares the next morning. For better or worse. There will be a long form piece in the Athletic. This should be an exciting, momentum building moment for the franchise. I’d be absolutely stunned if Francis was willing to sign up for this inevitable controversy at such a pivotal moment for the franchise.

But I hope he does! As a NYR fan that would be an ideal scenario...

Wondering if the Ladd deal frees up Lou to make a run at Hall.

Palmieri

 

[Alluckks]

So who do we now have lined up coming to NYC from Seattle? That is the question

A defenseman is probably what people are thinking of because of how much we talked about it with the Rangers, but honestly based on expansion lists and exposures I get the idea that a quality bottom 6 player coming to the Rangers from Seattle makes a lot of sense, with someone like Hajek going the other way (since we can protect Hajek and Seattle could use NHL capable young D, a thing they won't get from expansion eligible players for them to take)

 

[duhmetreE]

Leslie on the warpath. She is probably right....

Over analyzing the tweet... yes, this is what it has come to...

Package. More than just our 1st rounder.
Middle of the 1st.. Implying we will still be in the first.
We dont need a package to move down.

Buch, Strome, Jones and #15 for #2 +

Seattle stays in the 1st, get a budding LHD and two good uptrending vet players. Seattle trying to be like Vegas and compete out of the gate

 

[AirGut]

So that makes G O O D Y the only cup winner on this team now

Totally get it. I do. But baggage aside, Deangelo will probably be the best player available to Francis straight up. Stranger things have happened.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Palmieri

I just thought they would attempt to spend 8 million dollars on Ladd V2, Landeskog.

 

[LOFIN]

Why? This tweet doesn't mean anything. For all we know they were asking STL to take a bad contract back or to take back a player with term when they'd prefer cap space.

Tarasenko also has a NTC, so while he can be exposed I guess he can turn down a team like Arizona or Detroit.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

So who do we likely lose to SK?

Don't want this to turn into another ADA thread but, Seattle isn't that much different from NYC in terms of what you all are discussing. Tony liked it here. I am sure he would be fine in Seattle.

 

[Daves a mess]

It's one wedding man, it's not like he is preparing for it. He will be wasted, get an one day hangover and life goes on.

Prob get laid too

 

[JimmyG89]

So who do we likely lose to SK?

One of Gauthier, Rooney or Blackwell. Doubt they would take DeAngelo.

 

[NYRKING30]

If the Rangers give Goodrow a long term deal, they better make sure there are no clauses or at least modified no trade the first half. As long as it’s a flexible contract, we can live with that. Preferably a deal would be 3-4 years, but that doesn’t sound likely now.

 

[Platano King]

I would be happy with 3 years at ~$3m for Goodrow. A bit of an overpayment? Maybe, but he fits the team like a glove, and is exactly the type of player the team needs.

A perfect finish to this offseason imo would be

- Moving Buch, 15th, and a defensive prospect like Jones/Robertson for Larkin
- Signing Suter to 1yr/$4-5m
- Flipping Strome to recover assets

Assuming Rooney gets taken in the expansion draft this is hopefully our lineup next season:

Panarin-Larkin-Kakko
Laf-Zibanejad-Kravstov
Kreider-Chytil-Goodrow
Barron-Blackwell-Gauthier

Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Trouba
Suter-Lundkvist

Igor
Georgiev

 

[Alluckks]

Gauthier assuming we sign Goodrow is the best bet I think

Georgiev

Very close to what i am hoping for.

Minus Georgiev and Blackwell. Replace with a veteran backup and Coleman.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Does anyone get the C next season?

 

[EpicDing]

Can the Rangers sign Goodrow during the freeze?

 

[Cag29]

I would say they are somewhat similar. Goodrow has an edge that we need right now

Plus it’s nice to get a player that knows what it takes to win a cup.

 

[Alluckks]

5 years, 2.2 per year is what I'd like to see for Goodrow, based on rumors

 

[TheBloodyNine]

You need to spend more time in Seattle.

Been there many times, my friend owns a number of ice cream shops out there and I visit him regularly. Going out there again this summer. Nothing I've said is inaccurate.

 

[NYRKING30]

Yes

 

[Platano King]

I love Coleman but he's definitely gonna get $4m with term easily, which this team can't really afford with the upcoming need to pay the shit out of Fox, and Zib (and Larkin if we get him).

Although my hot take is that if we trade for Larkin and re-sign him, we should let Zib walk and promote Chytil to the 2C role instead after 2022.

Tony could have lived in Mar-a-lago and still blown up on Twitter. Some people just need drama.
