Speculation: Roster Building Thread XIV

[New York RKY]

i prefer Larkin over Eichel. more complete and less of a drama queen.

His neck is also still attached to the rest of his body, so that’s kind of a plus.

I know I mentioned before about a deal with Seattle and the Rangers, but the only other team that really doesn't have their pick confirmed is Detroit.

Could be that some bells are ringing or completely nothing. Maybe this is part of the Larkin formula to NY.

oooohh keep talkin dirty to me

 

[RangersFan1994]

Someone come up with some convoluted 3 way trade with Seattle, NYR and Detroit to get Larkin and Giordano here

Larkin Bertuzzi and Gio to NYR
Buchnevich JAM and Hauge to Red Wings
Miller Strome and Rasmussen to Golden Knights

I know the Giordano talks. But Seattle has already invested heavily in Oleksiak and is rumored to pick McDermid from LAK. Wouldn’t be surprised if McDermid is traded.

 

[DutchShamrock]

I heard somewhere that sweet Lou is bending over backwards to find a way to keep Bailey. Maybe what's his face on NHL Live mentioned it. . The Isle Homer who's always on with Jackie Redmond.

I'm guessing the Isles, Montreal, Minnesota, and maybe St. Louis at a minimum made side deals to protect roster players.

Yeah. In addition to the fact that the Carp tweet is horribly worded so as to create complete confusion as to what actually went on, the bit about Giordano reads as complete speculation on his part. If there *is* a trade – and that's a big if – it could just as easily be for McDermid or someone else.

I think these Seattle selections are absolutely bizarre.

No Blackwell, no deal.

I think these Seattle selections are absolutely bizarre.

We don't know about any side deals and trades yet to be announced.

 

[Avery16]

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

[Off Sides]

I think these Seattle selections are absolutely bizarre.

Some of them seem to be, others I think we'll see at least some trades announced that will lend at least some logic to them.

 

[AirGut]

The obsession with Larkin being traded here is astronomically comical. Even more so than how much I post about getting Eichel.

Some of you guys who are serious about Larkin do realize who's commanding ship over there in Detroit right?

Yzerman is anything but a goofball

 

[Avery16]

I think these Seattle selections are absolutely bizarre.

They could have selected big names and then be up against the cap, trading away picks to stay compliant. Welcome to the NHL, Seattle!

 

[New York RKY]

I for one am excited to see Colin Blackwell in person at the Krakhouse in front of a full arena of Krakheads. It should be a great time!

 

[Thirty One]

No Blackwell, no deal.

Both Larkin and Giordano are 50% retained.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Both Larkin and Giordano are 50% retained.

Now you're approaching realism.

 

[Savant]

Massive mistakes

Francis (I think) drafted all those guys. He has insight that we certainly don’t. Geekie is not who I would have picked but this is really dramatic.

 

[bleedblue94]

this board wants to wait a year for barkov to maybe be a ufa, but you want to trade top value for larkin who is a ufa in 2 years. it is so funny...

 

[Fitzy]

Losing Blackwell and adding Giordano brings the collective Rangers from about a 9 to a 6 in the looks category.

 

[Savant]

I think these Seattle selections are absolutely bizarre.

It’s simple. They didn’t want to commit long term cap. It’s not the worst idea.

 

[Off Sides]

I might have taken Geekie as well.

It's the Philly and Columbus picks that seem the most odd to me.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

I might have taken Geekie as well.

It's the Philly and Columbus picks that seem the most odd to me.

I like Geekie also.

As for the ones that look really odd, very possible we'll learn about side deals this evening.

I haven’t really analyzed them, BUT cap space is worth a ton in this league right now. Seattle can easily just add good players to that roster by assuming 100% of their Cap Space.
