Speculation: Roster Building Thread XII

[RangerBoy]

The Rangers flip picks with Ottawa in the first round. The Rangers move up to #10 to take Johnson, Svechkov or Sillinger. Maybe MacTavish if he slips. Those players probably won't be available at the Rangers pick. You never know how teams are setting their draft boards after this season. The Rangers select a top center in the draft and they trade for another center (not the guy in Buffalo) using their other assets.

Have a funny feeling the reason Strome is being shipped out so soon is because Drury has a deal for Eichel or another #1 C in place. I expected to move Strome at a later time next season near the TDL but it looks like maybe Drury wants to free up $4M quickly......I wonderrrr why

Maybe it’s just because he’s soft, takes bad penalties, and his stock hasn’t been higher since he was drafted.

 

[Crease]

I f***in hope not.

I agree. I like Chytil. But if the goal is to make the playoffs, handing him the keys to the second line would be pretty reckless. I would also not understand the point of trading Strome just to go shopping for another 2C in free agency. Why not stick with what you know works?

In theory it's good, but aside from Kent Johnson, I wouldn't trade up for any of those guys. And I think packaging 15 with Strome to move up 5 spots is not good asset management.

 

[Lundy HOF]

Have not posted in a long time but I was thinking amongst all this Eichel talk.

Would it not be better to just try and back up the truck for Barkov? Panthers have to know they are not winning a cup with that group.

If you're moving Strome alone you aren't getting an upgrade over him, you're doing it to move salary out and take back picks/prospects/young ELC players.

Strome is our 2C at the moment. We wouldn't move him unless we are getting a large upgrade somewhere down the middle.

Could totally see Drury trading Strome for futures or a young C and then trading Chytil+Buchnevich for Eichel.

As is, rolling

Eichel
Zibanejad
Goodrow

down the middle 3 is a massive upgrade over years past and we're instantly contenders

 

[NYR Viper]

The Rangers could flip Buch to Seattle for a combination of players to fill a few holes. Say Seattle takes Gourde and Soucy. Buch for those two? Maybe a pick included?

 

[EdJovanovski]

I'm so confused
Rooney is easily the worst out of him, Gauthier & Blackwell

 

[jay from jersey]

There is a god.
I want him away from Panarin before the season starts before the FO is forced into doing something dumb like signing him long term. Thank you strome. You played well but it’s time to move on

Treff said the same:

But on a few mock drafts I’ve seen Raty and/or Svechkov drop to 16 or lower. Wouldn’t we be fine with either of those?

 

[Thirty One]

He had a career year because Quinn used the 4th line more then the 3rd minutes wise. Especially at the end of the year

No, he did not. Chytil averages more than 2 minutes per game more than Rooney or Howden at even strength.

I mean something like this certainly is possible.

 

[broadwayblue]

Why on Earth are we protecting Rooney over Gauthier LMFAO

Maybe Gauthier isn't going to put it together. What does he have, 1 goal in his career?

Wow.

I'm not surprised at the content, but I've never seen Leslie get a tweet off without a typo.

Svechkov yes.

Raty no.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Ryan Strome for Josh Norris and a 2022 first round pick. Who says no?

you think we can get the Garden to chant this into existence?? Maybe on the 13th minute?

 

[Crease]

By what metric is Rooney worse than Gauthier?

 

[SRHRangers]

Why on Earth are we protecting Rooney over Gauthier LMFAO

Because he has a spot on this roster and Gauthier doesn't.

Plus after the World's, I'm pretty sure Blackwell is the pick unless Francis goes Simple Jack and takes ADA

 

[Thirty One]

Maybe Gauthier isn't going to put it together. What does he have, 1 goal in his career?

2 in 47 games. But that's Quinn's fault. Garbage coach. And also Brind'Amour. Two garbage coaches. If he's not successful under the next one that coach is obviously garbage too.

She is absolutely clueless, I remember during training camp she was tweeting calling players the wrong names, like posting a video of Buchnevich calling him Kakko. And when she was posting line-ups she had some forwards as defensemen. I don't know how she even has a job that has anything to do with hockey. Don't take her word for anything LOL

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Strome only plays for crappy teams so him getting shipped out to Ottawa tracks

Wow.

LOL

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I mean everyone knows the Rangers first round pick is in play, its not a secret at all.

 

[jay from jersey]

No, he did not. Chytil averages more than 2 minutes per game more than Rooney or Howden at even strength.

Not in the last 20 games or so

[Fitzy]

The theme of this NYR offseason is sandpaper.

Rooney has sandpaper, Gauthier does not.

We can like it or dislike it but it's pretty easy to connect the dots.
