Speculation: Roster Building Thread XI

[RGY]

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.

And if not Coleman then I look at someone like Foligno. Either one. Get this team to be a bitch to play against.

Pretty sure it was reported that Foligno is most likley either returning to Blue Jackets or joining his bro in Minny.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Don’t need a #1 Center

 

[IDvsEGO]

Yes

I dont believe so. I think that the deadline is a hard deadline for all contracts.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Still nothing on the Islanders and the Defense exposure requirement?

 

[Chytilmania]

Are you saying that the next captain IS soft and lazy? Or the the next captain is someone who helps with turning that around lol

Best bet odds for next captain I think is Trouba or Laf

Who they plan on naming captain, not sure when that is, is soft and lazy. Also had the highest body fat tested on the team.

 

[egelband]

Trading Buch is gonna suck

Trade Buch and I puke.

 

[Chytilmania]

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.

He's not in the US preparing for the season like he normally does.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

No idea if these guys actually hear anything

We are bringing back Kevin Hayes?

 

[Chytilmania]

How does he have the Stanley Cup? It's in Canada for repairs and he played for Anaheim this year.

2020 Tampa has it right now. Maybe it got delayed with COVID?

 

[IDvsEGO]

Trade Buch and I puke.

So you want us to sign him for 5-6 years at like 6m aav, and then throw him on the third line. We have a 6.5m 3rd liner in kreider, dont need another one.

They are naming Keith Kinkaid captain?

 

[Platano King]

Don’t need a #1 Center View attachment 453645

Oh come on, he scored 41 goals in 19-20, and after dealing with COVID scored 46 points in the last 40 games of the season. Are you gonna suggest he's bad?

I'm only gonna agree with you that the Rangers need a C because he's gonna be a 29 year old UFA next year with a concussion history.

Poster (former?) here. Dunno if he has any sources.

Damn right. I know that Kreider-Chytil-Goodrow line is gonna be a pain in the ass for other teams come playoffs.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

His podcasting partner was saying something similar so presumably this is Buch related

 

[TheBloodyNine]

I'd air on the side of no

Buch for Tarasenko or something probably lol

Why would we let Mika walk? We would move him if extending him isn't in the cards.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Sounds like hot air, but if it's really anything, has to be about Eichel. That's the only thing I can think of that would elicit such a visceral reaction.

I was just doing wordplay. I don’t really have a strong opinion on cap specifics. I’m not privy to what the front office knows. But I would agree in principle that the both six should be generally lower cost players.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Lol, If they were looking to trade Buch just to bring back some f***ing piece of crap who plays with "sandpaper".

Bring back Gorton.

 

[Alluckks]

Never shown anything to indicate he has any sources. If anything, the over the top reactions he posts to literally every move shows that they have nothing (as their podcast has essentially proven for a long time now).

I'd almost argue that their tweets should go in the false rumors category here.

 

[Platano King]

My guesses:

1. He's full of shit
2. Buch for an underwhelming return
3. An absolutely stupid trade for Taresenko
4. Kakko in a package for Eichel

Most likely option? He's full of shit.
