Speculation: Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXV

[NYSPORTS]

Please Rangers, save me from this NFL season.

I fully acknowledge this is a reach, but when edge was mentioning trade targets that we were not talking about I wonder if Drury has reached out to dorion about Brady and what the cost would be IF he feels Brady could play center in the NHL. In his draft I believe some teams felt that he could potentially do that

Depends what you consider a reach I suppose. I'm sure with the current Tkachuk situation many GMs have at least reached out to see what he'd cost.

As someone who watches the Sens just as much as Rangers I'd prefer to keep Brady on the wing though.

Minnesota has to contend with the 12 million and then 14 million of dead cap space they will incur over the next three years, re-signing Fiala won't be cheap. If Seattle doesn't want to suck for long then some of the choices they made in the expansion draft are REAL head scratchers, and adding Zib doesn't make them a contender anytime soon (and he knows that). Anaheim just publicly announced that they are rebuilding so they are not giving a 29 year old zib 9x8. Kings need another 9 million dollar center like we need a 9 million dollar right defenseman. Of those teams you mentioned, I'll give you Stars and Panthers, but the issue with those teams is that not one of them play their home games in NY and that is something that only the Rangers can offer to a guy who wants to live a certain lifestyle. The point I'm making here is that there really aren't that many teams that can go all in on that contract.

I do think this factor is a bit overstated by our fanbase. When not on the road, the guys spend most their time in Westchester near the practice facility and regional airport. The Rangers (and Knicks) offer their younger players furnished rental apartments in Westchester, and they take them. There is just not that much down time during the season, and the guys tend to use their breaks and offseason to vacation or to go back to their home states/countries. It's not as much of a big city playboy lifestyle as one might think it would be.

The loudest the Garden has been was for Giacomin's return.

More importantly....

Benjamin Moore Named Official Paint Partner of the New York Rangers

Man I’m losing it. In my head i just went “ Benjiman Moore. I wonder if he’s related to Dominick?” Even with reading the paint partner part. It took a minute to register.

Benjamin Moore retired due to injuries suffered in the Bertuzzi incident.

I'm OK with trading one of the defenseman for a Center to replace Strome

p.s. NOT Eichel

Lets get the Lundkvist+ for Larkin trades back up and running

It would be a great trade for us but I still want to see a season of Nils.
Watching Schneider and Zac makes that trade way easier. I like how aggressive Schneider is in the O zone.

Here's a blast from a forgetful Ranger past. Jason Megna playing well in preseason game for the Avalanche.

Zibanjad lives in Manhattan

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Zibanjad lives in Manhattan

Yeah, he lives in The Edge. When you look at his posts on Instagram, you can tell by the angle of MSG he can see from his living room. Pretty cool spot to live, to be honest.

 

[DutchNYR]

Seems like a great player; Russian name, American edge.

I bet St. Louis could easily trade him for let's say Blais and a second.

Zach Jones is making life very difficult for Drury and Turk.

Hes confident with the puck and much like Fox, he doesn't rush his decisions. Makes the right play most of the time.

Hes got a little more competition for that 3rd LD spot than Nils does on the Right side, but when adding rookie camp to the pro camp, hes making a hell of a case.

Could be a very good trade chip for either Detroit or Florida

Gallant already said he doesn't care much about handedness on D. He could just win the spot as 3RD. It's funny. Already this preseason we have a ton of quotes from players saying they can easily play any position (Oshie, Marner, Dube for sure have discussed it/tried other spots) yet according to the fanbase it's absolutely impossible and you can only play one position and never change.

I'm not in that camp.

I'm strictly looking at the position hes listed as playing and looking for teams that could use a LD.

You are 100% right in that he could very well win that last RD spot.

Like I said, hes making life very difficult for the NYR brass

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Yeah, he lives in The Edge.

@Edge is the man. Helping our beloved players with housing during these dark financial times.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Yeah, he lives in The Edge.

Thought that was an office building

 

[RGY]

Zac Jones has work to do on the defensive side of the puck and we want to play him on his off side? Smh.

I think when you talk about players moving to a different position, those guys are pretty unique and mainly already established.

If Jones is making this team, to me its over Nemeth for the 3LD spot

Zibanjad lives in Manhattan

Googled and saw that "in Manhattan" was like 30x more common than "on Manhattan", surprising! Aren't you "on" an island?

 

[rangers1314]

I think Rooney lives in that place too.

It's an odd area. its a lot like Long Island City. A lot of nice, new highrise buildings but like...nothing else around there.

Sorry, the Eugene. Got my buildings mixed up.
