Speculation: Roster/Trade Discussion Thread

Having 2nd thoughts 6 months into a 7 year deal would be impressive, even by the insanely low standards i hold most NHLers to regarding general IQ...
LA giving up assets for a guy they could have just signed if they'd put a bit more work in to it would be kind of funny though
i don't particularly like Drury, and i certainly don't want to defend Drury; but you judge him on moves made or not the week after the draft, not the week before it

Sure but his record so far (years) is hardly inspiring.

He got embarrassed on the Panarin deal. Trying to be a 'good guy'.
We've traded, Trouba, Kreider, Kakko, KAM and Panarin for Greentree and a late 1st. ( in terms of tangible value; things that may actually help the NHL team ) Gonchar looks promising too. Although there's some good, I do like Greentree, the value and long term impact on the success of the NHL team, has been minimal.
We need a massive game winning grand slam with one of our later picks, as well as hitting with our #5. Like we need a Kaprizov, Point type hit in the later rounds... maybe a Pastrnak with our late 1st... That's the type of shit we need to pull out of our ass... It's sad that this is my copium hope... Man we suck

I abhor Drury and everything about him. That said, thank god he wasn’t able to move the Rangers equivalent of value for Brady T.
I guess if Brady gave NYR the green light, Drury would have traded that type of package, which actually confirms my hatred for Drury.

I like Brady Tkachuk. I would have liked to had him on this team.
We need Centers and defenseman though. We don't have shit to offer.
Tkachuk may have helped with the culture but what has that done for Ottawa?
He's sure as shit going to be a menace in Florida...

We need a grandslam with 1st round picks. The bad part is Kreider was the last first round pick 09 draft that was a consistent top 6 forward for 20 goals and thatbwasn't a bust like Kravtsov, Lias Andersson, McIlrath, all 1st round picks during bad years that all busted, Kakko and Lafy was rushed into pro hockey. Rangers do well with mid and late picks. Didn't count JT Miller because he was dealt here too soon.
If we came out the other side of the draft with Bjorck, McTavish, a high-upside forward prospect, and some more draft capital for next year I wouldn't be too upset

Well that’s how dire it is. We need to hit on our firsts and then land a Hintz, Kaprizov or Point type in the late rounds.
I’m assuming we’re getting another 1st for Trocheck.
I’d honestly see what Ottawa would offer for Laffy now.
Does Drury have the guts or brains to do that? Watch McTavish get dealt in a package for Larkin or Islanders for Barzal
A lot of it is cost dependent. There's a certainly a price that is too high for McT, so if someone else wants to pony up we should absolutely be backing out, Schneider + something for McT, yes. Schneider + Cuylle + picks, no.
And I'm sure there are are other guys out there who are similar to McT that we should be looking in to and seeing who can be pried loose.
We don't need to solve all the roster oles this off season, but we do need to start adding good pieces who can be here for 5+ years
