Speculation: Roster Building Thread XXXVI - It’s Miller Time…K-A

[mike14]

That sucks for KK.
His next contract becomes more and more intriguing. Overpay based on current output but with an expectationthe skill level is there? Offer a fair contract and risk being cutout by an offer sheet wed struggle to match?

 

[LOFIN]

Sucks for Kakko, but on the other hand it is somewhat relieving he was playing through a significant injury. Makes it easier to excuse his play.

 

[Synergy27]

Hey, at least Kakko is built like a man and will surely withstand the physical rigors of the NHL better than little boy Jack.

 

[Ruggs225]

Well at least Barron gets an extended look. Well hopefully.

hopefully it is ar 3c and chytil stays at 2rw with strome and panarin

Vince saying Hunt is with 10-16.

Chytil, Goodrow and Goat are together but he isnt sure who the C is.

Barron is filling in for Mika, who isnt there due to flight delays.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Nemeth is back at practice.

eww

absolutely disgusting lineup choices

 

[Crease]

I so badly want to like the Panarin Strome duo but they can’t play nice with anyone who isn’t a total plug.

 

[Vitto79]

absolutely disgusting lineup choices

it’s what he’s done all year lol
5 more weeks till a new shiny toy or two arrives

Hunt should be nowhere near the top six. He's a fourth liner.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Sean Coutierer has core surgery. Out for the rest of the year

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Hunt should be nowhere near the top six. He's a fourth liner.

Agreed. Barron should be playing on strome and breads wing

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Is Kakko really getting a big contract this summer? Or 2-3 year bridge deal for 2-3 million per?

 

[Avery16]

Hunt should be nowhere near the top six. He's a fourth liner.

It’s almost like we need top-six scoring depth.

 

[rangers1314]

GG says Kakko out "at least a month"

 

[mas0764]

lambert is gona be a damn good player too. I don’t see how any mock draft thinks he’d be available after the top 10-12 picks though

Two firsts would be some nice ammo to get up and get him, if we had two.

 

[GAGLine]

He's absolutely getting a bridge, and very likely between 2 and 3 mil.

 

[SA16]

I so badly want to like the Panarin Strome duo but they can’t play nice with anyone who isn’t a total plug.

Thats a positive

 

[rangers1314]

Thats a positive

Well it could be if they turned that plug into a productive player.

 

[Greg02]

Kakko did pretty well with them.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Go out and get a legit top 6 rw please. Hunt is garbage and is a 13-14 forward.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

And I would call Drury Stupid. Your gonna trade a guy that is headed for a 40-50 goal season, a team leader and only 30 years old for what. So we can pay guys that haven't produced squat and may never. Man this Board is off the charts. There is no reason a guy like Krieder can't produce at this level for another 3-4 years and if so his contract becomes a bargain. Who else you going to get that scores 30-40 goals a year for less meney?

I can pretty much guarantee you that Kreider is never going to score at this pace again. That’s now how this works, players don’t magically get better once they hit 30

Gorton f***ed up not trading Kreider in 2020, if the opportunity presents itself to sell high and get something useful back, Drury would be silly not to do so

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

or QO'd then traded.

a common HFB meme is declaring player's have virtually no value.
history has shown otherwise

maybe i am in minority, but will be totally shocked if, come summer, he is NYR RFA who is non-QO'd

Nah, way to big of a risk. They need his salary off the books, they’d rather get value in cap space than qualify him and maybe they find a trade for him
