Speculation: Roster Building Thread XIV

[Gardner McKay]

Reading the tea leaves we’re going to lose gauthier

And I am more than fine with that.

 

[E-Train]

MacDermid for Rooney.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Instead of all the other good players Arizona and New Jersey had available?

Well Dunn over Tera is stupid. If they dont take Landeskog and give him a blank check they are stupid.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Reading the tea leaves we’re going to lose gauthier

Based on what? What are the tea leaves?

 

[DudMan28]

Seattle will not have good scoring though.
Some alright middle 6 guys, but no top line firepower

Similar to Vegas. Vegas got lucky a few of those middle 6 guys exploded with more ice time

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Any word on how much Brandon Sutter would cost? Could be a nice bottom6 add

Hes terribad.

 

[Thirty One]

Reading the tea leaves we’re going to lose gauthier

Yeah, Seattle really needs goalscoring. The 40 goals Gauthier is going to score without Quinn holding them back will really help.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

So there are trades behind many of these picks right? We just dont know them yet?

 

[Kovalev27]

No one on this board would want domi here so no one should be surprised Seattle didn’t want him either

 

[Thirty One]

Based on what? What are the tea leaves?

Literal tea leaves.

This is what was said about Vegas. There will be trades. They may end up with Voracek and Tarensenko after trades. But I'm not running my mouth on an expansion team again.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Just be smart. Both the Bolts and Isles are getting weaker. Boston, Washington are Pitt are getting older.

It’s Carolina and likely an exciting Ottawa team on the upswing.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

I have to think so with the players that they are taking right now. Way to many defense, no offense to speak of yet.

 

[duhmetreE]

Hes terribad.

he can serve his role on the 4th line

 

[NYR Viper]

So there are trades behind many of these picks right? We just dont know them yet?

Yes and I am sure there are side deals that will be made as well.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I don't think he's better than anyone we don't already have in house.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

So frustrating we couldn't make a deal for Gourde. I can't believe Tampa just lost him for free. WTF were we thinking?

Maybe Tampa just didn't want to move him because they didn't wanna lose one of their other exposed forwards. Or Seattle just really wants Gourde for themselves and when we asked about him the price was absurd. Rumor was teams asked about Seattle selecting Killorn and trading to them and Seattle said the price was 2 1st round picks.

 

[NYR Viper]

With the players they have added, perhaps Ryan Strome or Pavel Buchnevich would actually intrigue Seattle...

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Gourde is like the only name I know from an offensive point of view from these leaks lol

 

[McRanger92]

Just be smart. Both the Bolts and Isles are getting weaker. Boston, Washington are Pitt are getting older.

I think Carolina is a little overrated. They are about to lose their best defenseman for nothing and dont want to pay any of their important RFAs

 

[EXTRAS]

Surprised they won't take blackwell. Could see him breaking out a bit.

 

[SRHRangers]

Eberle is going too

Lou loses a first line player for free. Lost Leddy and has to give up whatever farm he’s got left to move Ladd. That’s painful.

but he did just open up a ton of space to sign his guys.

can he keep Cizikas? Can he replace eberle? They don’t trust wahlstrom or bellows a whole lot

This screams Landeskog..... I'm vomiting in my mouth a little as I say it.

 

[GAGLine]

So, is the pick from the Rangers the only one not announced yet?

 

[RGY]

solid pick

 

[pld459666]

Hate that we are hearing of the picks throughout the day.

Tonight is going to be a f***ing snore-fest

People make jokes about Toronto, but they are legit good and young. I don't think Florida was a fluke either and they may not have a hole in net with Knight. Just have to see if Barkov stays, but the Rangers are primed to come up quickly with the right moves.
