Speculation: Roster Building Thread XIV

[Modest Grouse]

I don't understand.

Carp doesn't understand either.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I’m so confused. Why are all the picks being announced? What’s the point of even watching tonight?

 

[AirGut]

Gio should ONLY be had if Seattle will eat half that cap hit and the price is cheap. Using any asset capital we've gained over the past few years and wasting it on an expensive Vet LD on his way out is not the smart plan here chief

Was it like this for Vegas? I honestly don't remember. Seems very anticlimactic

There is no point in watching it tonight, unless you want to see some of the new players don their new sweaters.

They are not being announced. They are being leaked. You need to decide for yourself whether it's worth watching tonight. I can't make that call for you.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Do they throw fish at the players?

Why couldn't he re-sign for a year after this one?

And AGAIN, the Rangers have absolutely no issue with the cap this year. They could take on (2) Giordano's and be fine more than likely.

We knew all the picks for Vegas. Some of the side deals we didn't know all the details yet.

I'd bet Buch to Seattle for Gourde and D. Be that Gio, Zadorov or Soucy.

Hate it if true

Not sure that it matters for them to eat half of the cap hit. Only one year and we have plenty of room.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Seattle trades can't even be announced before tomorrow? so there really is no point watching tonight then lol

I need you to make this decision for me. There is no “i” in team.

i would think Seattle trades will but not other teams

 

[Trxjw]

Not every hockey fan in the world is glued to Twitter or HF right now. The show tonight will be news to plenty of people.

 

[mas0764]

I really dont think the Rangers are trading their number 2 center for a 37 year old defenseman..

I think we're starting to go off the deep end with "grit, physical play, veteran presence etc"

Strome for a 37 year old D wouldn't be "starting," to go off the deep end.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I don’t believe this is true. Would make literally zero sense. I think all trade other than deals with Seattle have to wait. Seattle trades should come down tonight.

Yeah it depends what else they want to do, but there should be no reason they can't take on money for a year (even in the hypothetical world where they got Eichel too)

What are they doing? Working? Enjoying the summer? Pathetic.

 

[Nickmo82]

Well, I know what I'm having for lunch...

 

[Alluckks]

Seattle selecting Blackwell, and then a trade of Gauthier for Giordano, would make some sense

Dummies

 

[FIRE DRURY]

I’m not watching jack shit tonight unless @Thirty One tells me to.

 

[Bob Richards]

Telling my family to get lost. I'm midway through a 1700 word post about the Colin Blackwell selection.
