Speculation: Roster Building Thread XI

[duhmetreE]

@Edge Got any of them free Buch updates.. IM JONESIN MAN

 

[LOFIN]

Do we know who was protected officially??

Tomorrow, 10am new world time.

 

[IDvsEGO]

Yah, Messier has also used any media outlet possible any time there is an inkling of availability in the Rangers front office or coaching staff and he hasn't even solicited a legitimate interview out of it lol

Messier was a great player, but what he says or wants carries about as much weight as Incarcerated Bob tweets

I think they've offered him a few "learning roles" but he wants to jump in w/o doing the work.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Banned from playing at the Coliseum

That's not a penalty. That's a reward.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Kakko for Eichel wouldn't elicit that sort of reaction.

It would from me. Trading Kakko for an injured, overpaid diva like Jack Eichel would piss me off.

 

[Alluckks]

I think they've offered him a few "learning roles" but he wants to jump in w/o doing the work.

Yep, but I meant in regards to the positions that he actually wants or cares about. He hasn't so much as sniffed a big boy role with the team, and for good reason

 

[Michal]

Can the Rangers sign Goodrow during the freeze?

No

 

[LeetchisGod]

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

I hope so. It would be a mistake. The only thing Hall helps you win is the draft lottery.

 

[Michal]

Yes

No

 

[bleedblue94]

I purposely avoided paying attention to all the tweets and everything leading up to the freeze because I figured I'd just be let down by a bunch of random rumors. Holy crap this is so wonderful to see what happened today

 

[IDvsEGO]

Yep, but I meant in regards to the positions that he actually wants or cares about. He hasn't so much as sniffed a big boy role with the team, and for good reason

Likely because he refused to do the exact thing drury did. Drury took roles that required him to learn the work, and he did them. He's GM now. Messier expects to be handed a position on the basis of '94.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Hopefully we can lock Goodrow in to a decent contract. Adding a 2x Cup Winner who played a pretty big role is going to be big for this group.

 

[IDvsEGO]

I hope so. It would be a mistake. The only thing Hall helps you win is the draft lottery.

I actually think the ladd deal helps lou make a run at parise + suter, i'd hate that, but I think thats exactly whats gonna happen.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I assume Rangers will still talk to Goodrow during the freeze tho, and then after it could announce a deal.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Are there restrictions on resigning players during the freeze?

You wouldn’t want to make it official because then Seattle would take him as a signed player.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

For the "face offs are important" (they are somewhat) crowd.. Goodrow the last 4 years is

58.8
53.7
49
50

53% average... I wouldn't mind adding somene like Bellemare still cheap either.. Having both of them could give the Rangers a better chance to have 2 offensive centers (Zib/Jack, Zib/Chytil, Jack/Chytil, Larkin, etc whoever) since he can play center and has before

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

You wouldn’t want to make it official because then Seattle would take him as a signed player.

I'm sure the Rangers will be protecting Goodrow.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Yeah the Rangers are going to protect Goodrow, its why they traded for him today before the lists were due

 

[Michal]

You can't sign any contract during the freeze.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I can't sign any contract during the freeze.

Drury, is that you?

 

[NYRangers16]

I see them signing a VET backup to Shesty if Georgiev is dealt.

Or Kinkaid works. He was solid.

 

[Michal]

Drury, is that you?

 

[17futurecap]

I'm sure the Rangers will be protecting Goodrow.

 

[Chytilmania]

Isn't he exempt because he's a UFA?
