Speculation: Roster Building Thread XXXVIII - Dust in the wind…

[CLW]

Mcdavid the coach killer is getting routed right now

who says no?!?!

The cap.

 

[Lgrsean]

The cap.

The cap absolutely does not say no to getting the best player in the nhl. You move other guys to make that work. But unfortunately the oilers say no

 

[CLW]

Holloway for Georgiev is still available to Edmonton.

Holland's trigger finger must be starting to have nervous tremors now. His head is on the chopping block next.

You create Edmonton East in NY is what would happen. McDavid, Panarin, Fox, Shesty, Zib then 10 McKeggs and 5 kids.

His cap hit is less that $1m more than bread. Trouba, Kreider, bread, etc could all be traded for cheaper pieces to put around McDavid.

 

[Lgrsean]

I'm willing to make a bet with anyone here.

$500 to you, $1000 to the Garden of dreams and I take a permaban from this site for forever

All Gallant has to do is lead this team to a championship within 3 seasons.

Any takers or just cowards out there?

If only there was a way to safely and securely place bets for market odds instead of having to wait for some random guy on a rangers forum offering to bet without even suggesting the odds he’s offering. I bet that option would catch on you pretty quickly too…

Adam Henrique Mason McTavish, Max Comtois to NYR
Nils Lundkvist, Filip Chytil, Vitali Kravtsov, Georgiev, 1st in 2022, 2ed 2022, 2ed (blues) 2002 to the Ducks

 

[Lgrsean]

The Rangers only have 14 more road games in the regular season including 2 games @ devils, and 1 game @ islanders, Flyers, and bruins. So only 9 games more than 2 hours away from home.

If they can just stay within striking distance of first place at the deadline, look out. Would be 19 games left, only 7 vs playoff teams, and 5 of them are at MSG.

Next 13 will be tough before the deadline though.

Hypothetically I wonder if Igor and, say, Miller, and Lafreniere move the needle for McD. Just value wise.

 

[egelband]

So, when was the last time the rangers really *won* a deal. We lose plenty. Clearly Fox is a win but that was due to some pretty unusual factors. I’m talking about a simple hockey trade. Do we ever win those? Would be nice to walk away from the trade deadline this year feeling we took advantage of cap space or got value for Hajek and Georgiev for example.

Yikes. Been a tick. I think that’s the last one.

Strome trade, I would say we won the Trouba trade, but I know that will have different options. I wouldn't want that Pionk contract.

The Nash trade was for futures, but getting Lindgren, the pick that we used to move up to get Miller, and Spooner, who was used for Strome should be talked about as a big a positive as the negative McDonagh/Miller trade is still talked about here.

True. Strome for nothing and liquidating Nash at the right time are both big wins.

 

[BBKers]

Strome, Nash, Fox And Zib. Probably Skjei. But there are many bad ones. McD/Miller, Buch, Stepan {As it developed}, Zucc, Graves... Win Sum Lose Sum

If Cuylie turns out the Stepan deal is fine

if Robertson turns out the Zuc deal is fine

Draft picks hit and Miss doesn’t mean it’s a bad deal

You have to think Drury wants to make a move before the TDL. It’s better for chemistry purposes....
Longer for Gallant to have the player, build chemistry with line mates, etc

 

[RangerBoy]

Damn Is Chycrun really dropped to 3rd pair? He must be extra miserable there this season.....

Chychrun's shooting % was 10.2% last season. This season his shooting % is 1.7%. Maybe he isn't that good of a player for Arizona to demand 3 or 4 assets in order to acquire him. He had the same flaws last season but his shooting % masked those flaws. Arizona wanted to trade him last month. They told teams through media leaks don't wait until March 21 to make the trade. Increase your offers or the player is staying in Arizona. Teams are like whatever. Vancouver has used a similar strategy with their players. Offer us more or JT/Garland are staying in Vancouver. Someone in Vancouver has leaked that twice to Pierre LeBrun. Jim Rutherford likes to make his trades before the trade deadline. In Carolina and Pittsburgh, he didn't wait until the deadline to make a trade. He is on the other side now and the other teams aren't responding to him. Whatever.

Chychrun wants out of Arizona but his play isn't doing him any favors.

You gotta think just playing in a consolidated division schedule cause of covid also had an effect on his stats....
I don’t think he’s as bad as he’s playing now. I’m sure he’s miserable.
But I don’t think he’s a 20 goal consistent D either.
I think he’s similar to trouba in that regard. He can log heavy minutes, but needs a good partner and is better off as a 3/4 on 2nd D pairing.
Crouse is playing above his head right now getting 2nd line ice time... he’s going to get a raise that’s going to make some team wish they didn’t give it to him...

In the recent NY Post podcast with Larry Brooks and Mollie Walker, Brooks said the Rangers have good chemistry in the room. The players get along and have a good time together. Brooks felt the Rangers chemistry is an important reason why the Rangers are having a solid regular season. Bringing in many new players at the deadline with effect that chemistry. Mollie agreed with Larry. We talk about Drury has all of this cap space to bring in X amount of player but the chemistry of the team will change.

Drury is in a tough spot. He is a first year GM and Dolan put him in charge of finishing the rebuild/build. Drury played in The NHL and he knows team chemistry is very important. Drury has been sitting on this cap space all season. 20/20 hindsight. Maybe the Rangers should have just kept Buchnevich as a self rental instead of having to scour the trade market for a Buchnevich replacement. First time GM. What do you expect?

 

[ThirdEye]

We're like 2nd or 3rd in GA this season. I know that's largely due to Igor but our defense has been good enough that they don't need to another big name/contract back there. Especially with Schneider's emergence.

Drury needs to focus all of his assets on solid, PROVEN top 9 wingers. The center thing can probably wait until the offseason unless someone REALLY wants Strome. Don't want to disrupt the chemistry too much this late into the season.

its easy to say that now about Buchnevich. for sure he would be an own rental now but then gone for nothing. Do we really expect them to win the cup this year ?

I’d use the cap space on high salary UFAs that won’t cost a ton . Radulov maybe

they have to show the team they are gonna Atleast try in the playoffs

 

[Vitto79]

Dzingel in , Barron down ?
With injuries they may add depth like that
Try and bury McKegg or Dzingel at the deadline

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

It would hilarious if Drury big brained this deadline in the name of locker room chemistry

He’s in a unique position of having a f***ton of cap space to improve his team’s obvious needs. I can’t imagine if he sits on his hands and does close to nothing Dolan will like that.

“Yeah sorry Jim, I know we could have made the team better but the team chemistry was just too important to mess with”. I’m sure that won’t go over like a lead ballon with the impetuous owner
