Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2023-24: Hotel California

[JTToilinginToronto]

Its hard for me to believe NJD did not offer 10-11 a year off the bat...if they did we cannot come close to that

Yes we can.

Beau has a $4.5M cap
Bailey has $5M
Varly has $5M
Romanov won't make more than $2M
Dobson could be signed to a cheaper short term bridge
Worst comes to worst, we can attach a 2023 first to trade Palmieri.

There are options

 

[Throttle]

This is just a ridiculous take and an absurd cherry picking of stats.

I’m sure if those were the facts about another teams player, your feelings would be a bit different.

 

[Quickdraw2828]

We can if Lou wants. Then Lou could offer 11.5 and that’s when Gudreau goes back to NJ and asks if they can best that offer. That’s how you create a bidding war to drive up the price. It’s a business.

There was a guy on Ebay, must have been a doctor or lawyer- he and I always wanted the same stuff. He put a big offer in at the start of the auction and never looked back. I eventually figured out how much he was bidding and I'd bid him up several hundred quite frequently.

[crashthenet]

That Thomas contract is huge.

When are we trading for Krug?

 

[BMOK33]

That’s an overpay by the Rangers that guy has basically followed the Turgeon career trajectory post check by Hunter the last few years can’t even remember the last time he had 60 points

 

[Throttle]

I’ll go Kadri to Isles or Detroit.

 

[MJF]

That Thomas contract is huge.

When are we trading for Krug?

Or Tarasenko?

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Beau+ for Tank?

Come on big number in terms of AAV for the Rags! Oh, and I am glad that dbag Rooney went to Calgary. Get him out of the Metro.

Come on big number in terms of AAV for the Rags! Oh, and I am glad that dbag Rooney went to Calgary. Get him out of the Metro.

5.7 million, which is about right since he is a 22-34-56 career scorer...

 

[Wanderson]

I am guessing a mistake

Why is that? It took until the start of the season to announce some of the resignings last season

 

[MJF]

This is a wash for the Rags/Trocheck.

 

[boredmale]

Why is that? It took until the start of the season to announce some of the resignings last season

I am just guessing but the fact he just got traded maybe they forgot to move him to the list

 

[SayItAintSoJohnny]

If we pay 8 million for Kadri based on one good year, Lou needs to retire...

 

[CupHolders]

I gotta admit, I like the Trochek signing for the Rangers in the immediate to mid-term. Takes the best parts of both Strome and Copp (even a little of Kadri) into their lineup. Smart fit.

 

[leeroggy]

Looks like Romanov is signed

He can't be tendered an offer sheet, so why qualify?

 

[TeamKidd]

 

[danteipp]

So the Rags should be done, other than a backup goalie and looking for a middling, top-six defenseman.

And, at least right now, next year they project have 8-12 spots to fill and under $18 million in cap space.

Of course someone always comes along to help them out, but Drury has a bunch of tough choices to make on the roster, RFAs, etc.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

No Kadri please

 

[YearlyLottery]

The AAV on Trocheck is actually not terrible. They will be able to get out of that contract and he is better than Strome.

 

[mm11]

Trochek to me is a meh player these days. Think Copp was better in my not so professional opinion
