Speculation: Roster Building Thread XIV

[Oscar Lindberg]

Vince is saying they’re taking Blackwell

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Would you be willing to part ways with Buch and #15 if it meant taking Giordano for a year and the #2 pick?

Now THAT I would be down with. That'd be a great trade. But Buch for Blackwell and Giordano is an atrocious trade. Strome for Blackwell and Giordano isn't that much better.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I believe Vince over Carp

 

[WilsonNY14]

Find it odd that the teams which have not leaked their picks yet are buff, nyr, and det. All rumored to have had trade discussions with nyr in the recent past. Could there be a big trade going on?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Disagree. He was an average middle pair defenseman this past season, and on a steep decline. He looked pretty bad in the couple Flames games I watched; not just bad for his usage, but bad.

And his metrics have taken a nosedive.

From Elite to Good?

He still graded out positively last season.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Seattle retaining on Gio ? i'd love to have him in that case? 2 years removed from a Norris. He's not that player anymore but limited minutes? He brings leadership and dirtyness that we need. And has to be better than Johnson/Smith/Hajek at least

 

[New York RKY]

What if it's Buch + 15 for Gio + 2?

Well we should be getting a lot more for the best defensive forward in the league.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Also, Rangers keeping Gauthier who I still think has bottom six upside, and no heathens I dont think he's scoring 30 goals, just upside and speed and forechecking in the bottom six possibility

 

[Kovalev27]

Guys, the Rangers have A LOT of cap space for this upcoming season. They don't need anyone to retain money for pretty much any player. Giordano has 1 year left which is perfect. Why make the other team retain when it will cost more in assets?

right there’s zero reason to give up more assets for retaining cap purposes

 

[EdJovanovski]

I believe Carp over Vince

 

[DutchShamrock]

Carp wrote it poorly? A trade to take Blackwell?

 

[Harbour Dog]

What if it's Buch + 15 for Gio + 2?

Then take my disarmingly charming Russian, and have a nice day.

 

[17futurecap]

The Rangers scouting department did a good job getting Blackwell, and then him being the pick.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

I’ll throw out a guess why there has been a leak from the Rangers.
Maybe after the Seattle pick, Drury an Co. have been so busy working the phones no one has had a chance to call a reporter.

 

[duhmetreE]

From Elite to Good?

He still graded out positively last season.

That's also against toughest matchups. He wouldn't be leaned on for that

 

[nyr__1994]

Just Spitballing...

Strome and #15 to Ott for #10

Buch Hajek and #10 to SEA for Gio and #2

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I think the trade for Gio can be forgotten about until someone else confirms.

 

[Avery16]

lol don’t hold your breath on that one

Go analytics!

 

[duhmetreE]

lol don’t hold your breath on that one

I thought wrong. I could have sworn Seattle trades were exempt from the freeze

 

[rangers1314]

The biggest news of the day is that these servers haven't crapped out.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I trust you or anyone else in here over Carp to be honest

 

[MrAlmost]

Eh. NHL. Nothing Happens League.

 

[cwede]

Fluery from Anaheim

are you certain,?
you may be mixing up w his brother Cale,
reputed claimed from Montreal

NM - seeing this now too

They won't crap out for an entire team being built but they would if the Leafs traded a 6th for two 7th's lol
