Speculation: Roster building thread XLIX ”U Can’t Always get what U Want”

[Fvital92]

Marc Stuul buy out.

That would be wild.

I can't wait to see what actually happens and then compare all of the speculation. That will be super entertaining. The combination of fear and excitement is pretty awesome.

Based on some of the clues @jas refreshed us with:
Vesey to Buffalo is close, but a larger deal was explored. Under 25 that will take us a back, Chytil or Andersson. Upgrade on
Nylander? 8th coming back as well.

Buffalo is dealing Ristolainen. Doubt he comes here but maybe Shattenkirk (retained- I'm not giving up yet) is involved.

flames have been trying to ditch frolik if i remember correctly. jeff could be trying to replace the 20th with the 26th?

Doesn't scream a bigger piece than Bennett to me

 

[Tob]

That would be wild.

pretty nice savings too. +2.8M +2.0M -1.2M -1.2M

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

You hearing something or just assuming due to the Cap situation?

Cap situation.

 

[Fvital92]

Hopefully @Edge will tell us what would be the traded if it doesn't happen. I'm really curious to know what the conversation between the GMs is about.

I really feel like the U25 piece is Buch

 

[NYSPORTS]

Toronto is about to get hosed by someone.

Hope its us.

Can see the Rangers landing all these guys and go straight to cap hell lol

They could grab Kreider then dump Frolik in a separate deal and pony up someone interesting with "upside"

We have "heating up", we are thinking "larger" than say Jim, Vlad, Ryan, Jesper etc. We're just missing 2 "U"s. Kreider for 26th, Bennett, and Juuso Valimaki, that's our final offer.

It doesn't make sense if it's not Buch.

Why do you think 3 separate people posting rumors is in any way related

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Oh man. Now I'm getting my hopes up. Why would you guys put the word "Monahan" in my head? I can't see that happening...right?

I've committed too much time into this mystery to back down now. It's not about the hockey or common sense anymore.

No, it won't happen

 

[Gardner McKay]

To Oilers:

- Kreider
- Vesey
- 49th overall

To Rangers:

- 8th overall
- Puljujarvi

Do it

No thank you. Maybe remove 49th.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

It doesn't make sense if it's not Buch.

Yeah, there's been interest in him, the Rangers at least have some interest in seeing what's out there for him, and the deal is supposedly centered around the U25 player which would be a calculated risk (trading Buch's upside for someone else's upside).

All these teams that could/would be wary about trading for Kreider because he's only got one year left (Edmonton, Arizona) could be interested in Buch because they'll have him for another 4+ years

 

[Don Chytil]

No, it won't happen

I don’t even know how this whole thread got so fixated on the Flames. From what I can tell, no vetted poster even mentioned the Flames?

 

[Ken Lund]

It doesn't make sense if it's not Buch.

DeAngelo would be a little risky, and Chytl certainly would be as well.

 

[Tob]

Rangers executive Tanner Glass finished his career with the Flames organization. Recently hired. It's all coming together. Buch for 26th + something else. Heating up, U25, "U", think bigger, Rangers want to get this done since Buch is in the Quinn Bin.

This deal is this board's Pepe Silvia.

There are no takers for Shatty and Smith.

BUF can help facilitate cap space for the Rangers. They need 3-4 NHL forwards and have maybe 1 farm hand that they can add right now. Free agents don’t want to live in BUF.

I know nothing about the TOR guys.

The guy who told me about Brodie weeks ago, also mentioned that there is frustration about another forward from CGY. Not Thachuk. Rangers have an upgrade on that player, but it would behoove CGY to add to that player, and vice versa for the Rangers.

Don Maloney works for CGY. Ranger connections are there.

lmfao, i literally edited my post with the same picture without seeing your post

 

[Fvital92]

Chytil is our only prospect that showed in the NHL the potential to be a top 6 player. I think the Rangers are pretty high on him, if we traded him it would be in a package for a great player. I don't buy it.
