Speculation: Roster/Trade Discussion Thread

[McRanger92]

The jackets wanting to wait to talk to Werenski about his future until after the draft tells me they are trying to do something up until the draft to convince him to stay. Maybe its trocheck and Schneider.

14, Voronkov and Smith for 26, Trocheck and Schneider?

Wishful thinking haha

 

[NYR Viper]

I didn’t recognize that this is the last year before Lafreniere gets a modified NTC for the remainder of his deal. That’s interesting. Anyone have any info on the number of teams he can list?

 

[mike14]

Would love to know what the Blues plans are. I wonder if Tro has them on his list?

I don't realise that either. Puckpedia says 8 and they're normally on the ball

i swear i dunno what you guys are smoking.

look at the prices. they're for young guys. pieces to build with. trocheck is a finishing touch. Faceoffs and PK. swiss army knife. a deadline add - when price can be squeezed.

trocheck will bring back less than Faulk

Wanna put money on that?

 

[GAGLine]

he really did. 7 years of no playoffs with a roster that costs more than our current one was incredibly impressive

To be fair, Slats was only responsible for 4 of those years (assuming you are talking about 98 to 2004). Neil Smith was still GM until 2000.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

I'd be good with 14, Smith and one of their 3 goalie prospects (Ivanov or Gardiner)

 

[NYR Viper]

How much would a combination of Hamilton from NJ and Boeser from Vancouver cost? Yes I know, they’re overpaid and are imperfect but I’m looking for guys who cost next to nothing but can fill a role needed.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

If the team could get a Kyrou type return for Trocheck the deal would be done by now lol

 

[RangerBoy]

There needs to be a roster to match that new way of thinking for it to work. The retirement of Anze Kopitar only exacerbates the team’s need for offense — and especially an upgrade at center. That’s the top priority for GM Ken Holland.

“I know Ken is talking to everyone and listening,” Robitaille said. “It seems like there’s about 15 teams looking for centers.”

He added that the team could use a little more mobility on the back end as well.

“But that being said, we have a really good set of six wingers, so we want to make sure we protect that; that’s one of our strengths,” Robitaille said. “Ken is looking to see how everything can match between now and September.”

NHL expansion coming, new-era player empowerment, Babcock reaction, more: Board of Governors wrap

Gary Bettman tried to soft-sell it as much as he could, but history suggests there’s very likely a second NHL team coming to Texas.

I don’t like Dolan but how can you say this with a straight face after what Leon Rose just did. I think management is being smart showing patience for once. Let’s see how long it lasts

I can say it easily....Dolan has made no secret of his Knicks favoritism. He's also made no secret about building a Knicks champion. I don't every recall him publicly saying this about the Rangers. I also don't recall him showing up front and center when Rangers were in the Cup Finals...yet it seemed he was at every Knicks game.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Yes they said this on espn, I believe one is Austin, not sure the other. We don’t need more teams, we needs more players that are good lol

 

[bhamill]

Again, which one of these guys would you trade Lafreniere for right now?

Pavel Brendl
Jamie Lundmark
Al Montoya
Dan Blackburn
Kappo Kakko
Manny Malhotra
Dylan McIlrath
Lias Andersson
Vitali Kravtsov
Alexis Lafreniere

That's 30 years of NY Rangers top 10 picks. Resist the allure of the mystery box. Get more picks to increase the odds of hitting on one, but don't use long-term pieces as the currency. Trocheck is how we get another first rounder. He's a great player, and perfect for teams looking to win now, but at 33, he's not part of this team's future.

There is NO way I trade Lafreniere for Alxis Lafreniere!

 

[bhamill]

i'd trade him for Alexis Lafreniere in a heartbeat, seems very fair imo

Meh. Lateral move.

 

[bobbop]

He’s the only available big name player who makes any sense for the Rangers but to move #5 or Laf or Gabe totally defeats the purpose imo

I’d volunteer to drive Lafreniere to Dallas for Robertson.

no way to bet subjective things with strangers on the internet.

the *value* of holl buchelnikov 2026 1st and 2026 3rd - at trade time no less - is not something we're likely to agree on, let alone if there's monetary gain at stake for estimating that value to be low (in your case) and high (in mine).

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

100%

 

[bobbop]

Except Kyrou > Trocheck
Slap me happy if we can get something like that.

Don’t agree on merit.

Don't agree when you figure in contracts.

 

[mike14]

Yes they said this on espn, I believe one is Austin, not sure the other. We don’t need more teams, we needs more players that are good lol

is this relating to possible expansion? It was Houston and Atlanta

 

[NYR Viper]

Byram to Chicago

 

[RangerBoy]

Byram to Chicago

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I don’t doubt at all Drury is in on Robertson.

Don’t love the player personally but I can see it for sure.

 

[NYR Viper]

Thanks wouldn’t load for me to post

Just say no and thats totally fine.

Faulk returned less than the Stramel centered BS that the Rangers passed on.

I agree that the trades that have been made today aren't really in the realm of reality of what Trocheck will return, but the teams making deals today aren't really in the position a team acquiring Trocheck would be in anyway. Different markets
