Speculation: Roster Building Thread XXXIII: 33rd thread twds the line of dead

[Thirty One]

That package is kind of what Bob McKenzie described. A first and a top prospect, or failing that, a lesser prospect and another piece. It's just missing the conditional 4th.

 

[Bruner4329]

yes, I could also "live with" those absolute fantasy trades that vastly favor the Rangers lol

This is no longer a speculation thread. Like you said it is Fantasy and borders on insanity. Scary thing some people really propose these things thinking they could happen.

I know Rangers fans love this guy and I think he is a bust.

Edmonton Oilers GM Ken Holland on Jesse Puljujarvi: 'Nobody’s really asked' - TSN.ca

he might be a bust. Respectfully though, Edmonton appears lost in the Pacific Northwest and maybe teams are tired of trying to deal with that mess. Besides collecting all-world talent and missing the playoff with regularity what are they good for? History?

The Oilers should be on the phone to buy/sell and actually make progress IMO. “Nobody really asked”? Really?

Kamenev isn't trash, but he's more likely a 4th line player than anything else and he's had some struggles staying healthy.

Ranta is a very raw talent who could end up as a Benoit Pouliot type. I think people are crapping on it because they're still convinced there's a "wow" piece coming back for Kreider, and that's just not going to happen.

Everyone in tonight, Igor starting.

 

[kovazub94]

Dont forget, MacKinnon was a 'bust' until his 5th year in the league.. As in living up to his hype 'next-crosby'... Maybe it has something to do with Colorado.

Maybe Jost is worth taking a flyer on.. but I'd still rather move Buch instead of Kreider.

In the same post.

Hank can’t even get a Carolina start. I’m 100 with Quinn here but that’s rough for hank. If he can’t play them who does he play against?

 

[cheech70]

Everyone in tonight, Igor starting.

How long is Hank gonna hold his cool?

 

[duhmetreE]

In the same post.

Did you miss the part where I said 'COLORADO' and how THEY develop. You see what you want to see

Anyway, I dont think Buch is a bust. I'd just rather have Kreider over him. We also have a strong candidate in Kravtsov to replace Buch.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Stop starting Igor. Team will end up in 9th and get a dump draft pick.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Credit to him, Quinn is trying to win but I probably woulda given Hank this game

 

[offdacrossbar]

I'd agree with your take on Lundqvist not moving a lot more if he wasn't completely pushed to sidelines in the 3-goalie situation.

when georgie is moved then that isnt a concern anymore

 

[NYRangers0723]

Stop starting Igor. Team will end up in 9th and get a dump draft pick.

LGR!!! Playoff Push

 

[NYRangers0723]

Why? Igor gives us the best chance and we still have a chance to make a playoff push if we win a big game tonight

 

[Yankeekid07]

Stop starting Igor. Team will end up in 9th and get a dump draft pick.

See, I don't mind starting Igor!

Let him play and continue to prove he is our future and let him build confidence heading into the offseason.

He and Georgie should get every start moving forward

.

which is why I hope J.D. sticks to the game plan of being patient. The peak of this rebuild could take years and hopefully it doesn’t get derailed by lack of patience.

 

[rangers1314]

How long is Hank gonna hold his cool?

I have no interest in opening this discussion again...but he has nothing to be angry about. If he is that angry, he's well within his right to go to Gorton and JD and take them up on the open door of exploring his options.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Team will end up in 9th and win the lottery

Fixed.

Applies to every position 1-15.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Not that I think it would actually happen, but no team is trading for Hank before the deadline with how this situation has gone. He hasn't played in 3 weeks, you just can't get into a rhythm that way

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

Stop starting Igor. Team will end up in 9th and get a dump draft pick.

Or worse, they may even end up in the playoffs.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Look as much as I love Hank the Rangers gave him the option to go to a contender and he didn’t take it. I love our two young goalies. Obviously Igor is the GUY but I like Georgiev too and not interested in rushing to trade him

This is why that idea around Skjei-Drouin has been in my brain for the last week or so...

Some will actually be pissed if that happens lol

I would rather a roster player with a bit more upside/less of an injury history, or a prospect who is closer to being NHL ready. If that means we get 3 pieces instead of 4, or 2 pieces instead of 3, that's fine.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Seven trades we'd like to see before the NHL trade deadline

Avalanche get: F Chris Kreider

Rangers get: Avalanche's first-round pick in 2020, Avalanche's second-round pick in 2021, F Vladislav Kamenev and F Sampo Ranta

Shouldn’t that be retitled a trade Joe Sakic would like to see?
