Speculation: Roster Building Thread XXXV: Calm Before the Storm

[bl02]

Think he's messing with us

why would Carp do such a thing? Wtf

 

[Anthony5967]

Time for me to throw another dart at the board. Anybody opposed to STL's 1st and Zach Sanford?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I wouldn’t completely rule it out.

Supposedly, St. Louis embraces the chance to defend and repeat and they are willing to spend in order to do so.

Kreider would be monstrous on St. Louis. Don’t see it happening though, they’re getting Tarasenko plus they’ll need young guys like Thomas and Kyrou to replace Steen and other veterans going forward

Sandford ugh no thanks.

 

[ecemleafs]

@Edge do you think a 5 year 7.5m per offer was ever extended to kreider?

I like Sanford better than Jost and Colorado’s 9th best prospect but no doubt with Kreider that St.louis pick is 28-31 so would be disappointed with that return

 

[charliemurphy]

Bokk, Puistola, Honka, Rees, Slepets, Suzuki.

There's a lot to like

Would love to get Puistola on the other side of Kakko.

I’m just glad nobody got traded during the mom trip that would have been messed up lol

 

[HonestGabe]

Okay, now that Carp is teasing Rangers twitter with Kyrou, this board is going to be in for a huge let down tomorrow.

I just can’t see Kyrou being in any Kreider return but I of course hope I’m wrong.

Steen isn't contributing much and didn't contribute much last year. Not really hard to replace that production.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

 

[EdJovanovski]

Kostin

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Kyrou would be fantastic but I’ll believe it when I see it

 

[Edge]

@Edge do you think a 5 year 7.5m per offer was ever extended to kreider?

I think the Rangers have a $6.5M at 6 years on the table for sure. I think they could go $6.75m. Not sure they do that deal for 7 years.

Final offers could be $6.75x6 and maybe (big maybe) 6.5x7.

 

[RGY]

What an add by Washington

 

[NYR Viper]

I wouldn’t rule out the Rangers coming back to him one last time with a slightly modified offer and giving him the chance to take it or leave it.

Athanasiou is being held out for Detroit. If Gorton moves both Kreider and Fast, do you think he’d turn around and look to add someone to help with NHL depth to help the team push towards a playoff spot? He or Grabner would add some speed that would be lost

 

[Trxjw]

I think if the Blues were going to dip into the higher-end of their forward prospects, it might be Kostin they move.

 

[Vitto79]

Not a fan of Jost.

What if it was Jost for Fast?

 

[NYR94]

Wow, I didn't think he'd go to Washington. Thought he'd be a good fit in Boston if they're out of the Kreider talks.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yeesh.

Why do I expect Kovy to morph back into 2007 mode?

 

[bl02]

Wow interesting. Last night Someone on Montreal radio mentioned Ovie and Kovy playing together with a trade between caps and Habs going down

 

[ecemleafs]

I think the Rangers have a $6.5M at 6 years on the table for sure. I think they could go $6.75m. Not sure they do that deal for 7 years.

Hmmm...surprised they wouldn't go slightly higher aav for less years. Kreider is a first line winger by every metric but term for a power forward is always an issue.

 

[RGY]

Yeesh.

Why do I expect Kovy to morph back into 2007 mode?

Can you imagine Kovy-Ovy paired together back then....

 

[NYR Viper]

Montreal literally signed Kovalchuk for nothing and turned him into a 3rd. Good asset management

 

[NYRangers0723]

I’ve heard that CK would settle for 6 years but is looking for over 7 mil per. Any truth to that?
