Speculation: Roster Building Thread XLVIII - “Into the Heartland”

[Ghost of jas]

Brooks is very bad at speculating trades lol

Not true

Pionk>>>>Dobson, right?

 

[Ghost of jas]

The Rangers just spent $8MM on Trouba. The rest is targeted for Panarin. The bank is closing.

I remain unconvinced Panarin ends up a Ranger.

 

[bobbop]

I remain unconvinced Panarin ends up a Ranger.

We'll see.

But I would note that there were diehards here that said Trouba to New York would never happen.

You got the price you wanted... unreal.

I thought it would take another 1st round equivalent on top of a better player than Pionk.

I wasn’t one of them. I’ve predicted it for a while now.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

This is what being aggressive looks like.

Very surprised no official thread yet haha.

 

[Alluckks]

Why hasn't Trouba re-signed yet... Gorton asleep

zzzzzzzzzzzz

Friday will be interesting . Trade Kreider for a 1st?

Or if they can’t sign Panarin does Kreider resign ?

 

[Mikos87]

This has got to make Shattenkirk and/Kreisler trade bait. Assume Troubadour breaks $7.5M.

That leaves the Rangers with 12 is space.

Trade out Jimmy to Buf for a pick, and your at 14.

Trade out Shattenkirk at 30% retention or Kreider you’re at 18.

That’s more than enough to UFA shopping.

Shattenkirk should be the odd man out on the backend... by virtue of having some value

I wasn't pointing at you but there are a few posters I'm waiting to crawl back here and see what they have to say now.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Maybe they’re already done talking

My instincts have been pretty good lately, and my instincts still think Panarin ends up in Florida. And what this deal tells me is that isn’t about to overpay to get what he wants. And, that’s why, IMO, Panarin will be a Panther.

Like trade thread for this move?

There is, if you can't see you may have the person who made it ignored

 

[Ghost of jas]

Nicely done.

 

[CTRanger]

Wow that is a good deal

 

[DutchShamrock]

I wasn't pointing at you but there are a few posters I'm waiting to crawl back here and see what they have to say now.

The dilemma was paying a price that was prohibitive to building the rest of the team. Some of proposed deals were twice as expensive as the final price. No one, not even the biggest optimist, predicted 20 and Pionk.

 

[NYRKing]

Wonder if anyone bites on shattenkirk now.

Smith to the jets for a 2nd? I guess anything can happen...

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Brooks is very bad at speculating trades lol

So... Pionk is worth as much as Buchnevich and Lundkvist according to Brooks

I think Shattenkirk's market is being swapped for another ugly contract but at forward. Said it in the Troubda thread but Shattenkirk for Perry and a small add makes some sense.

 

[Ghost of jas]

And, once again, HF gets the value wrong on a trade.

 

[Thirty One]

And, once again, HF gets the value wrong on a trade.

THE STREAK LIVES ON.

 

[GAGLine]

A guy we haven't talked about is Pavelski. He's 34, doesn't turn 35 until July 11th, so his contract would NOT be a 35+ contract. He's likely to get a 3 year deal and just put up 38 goals.

He'll probably re-sign with SJ, but after the deal they just gave EK, they may not be able to afford him. They've got about 11 mil left, assuming the cap is 82 mil, and they only have 7 forwards under contract. Meier is going to get paid. Lebanc is looking at a nice raise too.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

So are there any suitors for shatty at 50%?

If he doesnt stay in SJ, Colorado is going to be all over that.

I think Pavelski would be a perfect intermediate move for this team, but I doubt highly it happens.
