Speculation: Roster Building Thread XIII

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Friedman better watch his back. Seravalli coming in hot as the best insider in the game since Bobby Mac retired.

Something about him being 33 but looking 53 just makes Seravalli hit different.

Legit, guy was born in 1988!

 

[RGY]

Yes, it does. Teams look to the trade market as an alternative to UFA prices all the time.

Also, who said anything about a 22-26 age range? If anything, the guys mentioned here to fill this 3LD role are significantly older. McNabb is 30. Giordano is 64.

I was making a point. You cannot always get the perfect acquisition. Yes the guys discussed are older. They are veterans.

I hope they sign Suter or Martinez at a reasonable deal.

 

[Machinehead]

Because that contract is going to be a bigger sinkhole than the house in The Money Pit.

Is Coleman's contract going to be better?

This was a holy shit moment for me

 

[JohnC]

He followed the en vogue trend of starting his own blog to control his own compensation, but at this rate I'd be surprised if TSN doesn't throw a truckload of money at him soon.

Looks like it’ll have been a smart move. The guy scoops pretty much everyone.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

This sounds like posturing from Ottawa

This could not be more blatantly obvious public posturing lol

Here’s what I tell Ottawa, you guys cheaped out last year on Strome and went with Stepan instead, how did that one work out for you?

stop playing games lol

 

[NYSPORTS]

Heiskanen gets almost $8.5 per.

And Fox won a Norris

 

[Leetch3]

But wouldn’t you have been able to protect one more of those guys from Seattle like palat if gourde was dealt? So yes you’d lose gourde but you’d gain assets and it’s a team that will need to build up assets again. Now you lose a center right out of the middle of your lineup for zilch. They’re going to lose that entire line for free

none of those guys are protected. trading gourde would just leave 1 less player exposed.

This can’t be true….

I guess the upside is he’s going to look great when he actually hits 55

i think he should get extra credit for not dying his hair. unlike the ex-ranger president who went suddenly grey once he left broadcasting.

Chiclets producer says its 4/6AAV for Hall in Boston.

think u misunderstood me. None of those guys are protected I’m well aware of that. But trading gourde would have allowed you to protect one of those guys and expose a lesser player that perhaps you got back in the deal. What if the Rangers offered their first and a Blackwell for instance. Then palat would have been able to be protected

 

[Machinehead]

Barrie actually is what people think every offensive defenseman is

I read that as a hope (he’s a fan) moreso than a breaking of verified terms. I could be wrong.

Seravalli also tweeted that out

Even before reading this, I wanted nothing to do with Eichel. I hope for his sake he can get healthy again but yikes talk about risk.

So some rangers fan doctor writes up a paragraph of misspellings and everyone takes it as gospel?

Ignoring that only a handful of people have actually seen his medical reports?

Here's another random site that says 80% of athlete's have a full recovery and most hockey players are back within 7 months.

Jack Eichel’s Neck Surgery & Recovery


If the rangers trade for eichel it's because they saw the reports and we're comfortable with it.

 

[Kovalev27]

Ryan Strome has put up 99 points in his last 125 games. Righty center proved last season he could put up just as many points without Panarin during the hit piece on him a plus 26 player makes 4.5 mil what 27 28 years old and you cannot give him away. Says a lot about what teams including the Rangers think of him

 

[Kovalev27]

This was a holy shit moment for me

wait this guy isn’t 60?

If they couldn’t protect Gourde, how does trading him allow them to protect anyone else they couldn’t protect?

 

[Trxjw]

Those Garioch tweets are pretty transparent. "We want Strome but you better take Brown otherwise we're going to trade him elsewhere and walk away."

 

[RiffyNYR61]

Seravalli also tweeted that out

He didn’t confirm terms, he said “in the neighborhood”. I guess we’ll see.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Strome feels like the only center I can think of ever that puts up 70 plus pts is under 30 makes little money really and nobody wants him including the team he’s on. lol

It’s time to move on. He was trait bait along with Kreider pre-Covid during the rebuild and they’re both still here.

Friedman better watch his back. Seravalli coming in hot as the best insider in the game since Bobby Mac retired.

The silver-haired millennial pumps what he wants out there too much, still. Tocchet #5 on the free agent list? Come on. He's still in the tier below Friedman, LeBrun and Commodore IMO.
