Your the GM, What Changes do you make to the lineup this summer

[Miamipuck]

People that want Chara and Lucic are out of their minds.

I wouldn't want Lucic if he paid the Rangers to play.

Bring in some guys that are tough to play against, no problem. Don't bring in guys that suck.

Hes right though.

One guy is cooked and the other isn't very good and won't be waiving his no move clause to come out East. he wants to stay close-ish to home.

These moves would "take care" of some of the issues with this team via perception, but in reality wouldn't make a big difference in those areas and would actively make them worse on the ice.

Chara and Lucic are basically skating corpses now. Name recognition is the only thing they have going for them. If people don't see the obvious what's the point?

Reasonable comment. Sorry, I'll answer later. I'll be busy for a few hours.

or your stupid ass narative...... "we need tuffness", the guys you want to bring in are tough but can't skate and play hockey. Wow they could be on the bench or wear street clothes while the real players play.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Chara is going to be 45 next season. Find someone else please.

 

[TheDirtyH]

For fun on Capfriendly, roughly what I'd do:

Thomas for 3X3.5
Chytil for 3X3.25
Shesterkin for 2X4
Nemeth for 1X2.75
Gauthier for 1X1.15

I wrote - Many other options. Players may be different.
Lucic doesn't want Rangers? Is that a problem? Make an offer to the player.
Refused - make an offer to another player.
Is Chara a bad player? I do not agree. At this place (LD3) and in this situation. Hara has a big plus - AVV is less than $ 1.0M.
The Rangers have: LD1, LD2 - Miller and Fox.Position LD3 Chara, Jones.
I wrote - Jones (player potential ???) - called up in the NHL (20 matches +)
If Jones succeeds in gaining a foothold in the NHL, the number of games will increase significantly. You can try Robertson.
Chara may have 40+ matches remaining in a full season.
If the Rangers get 1C, 2C - money may be needed
Have a better offer (AAV - $ 1.0M)?
No problem - propose to another player.
I can offer a few more options.
You can strengthen the composition of the team in the deadline.
With a separate commentary, I will supplement the written about: Buchnevich, Strome, Zibanejad.
Let's raise the rates.

 

[CommaSynapse]

I'd call Derek Sanderson before I traded for Lucic.

Laf - Zib - Buch
Panarin - ? - Kravtsov
Kreider - Chytil - Kakko
? - ? - Gauthier

Lindgren - Fox
Miller - Trouba
Jones - Vetera
Hajek

I could see Lundkvist or Reunanen stepping up in camp and making for some tough decisions.

I figure some combo of Howden, Blackwell, Rooney, and Gauthier are gone in expansion/trade, though I'd like to see Gauthier get a proper look under a new coach. I also like Blackwell's motor. He was a very good, opportunistic player at times.

I'd try to sell high on Strome after expansion. He did well this year, but I'm not ready to give him a long-term, expensive contract. Zibanejad needs to prove himself this year if he's seeking a longer contract from us.

I'd be looking for a hard-nosed defensive center to line up with Panarin. Someone who can be a regular on the PK. I think Kravstov can easily be the recipient of some great Panarin Playmaking.

I'm just not sure who that center is or if they're available. Cizikas doesn't have the top-6 upside. Other guys don't have the defensive prowess. Krejci? Bonino? Danault? Haula? Nosek? Will any of them out-produce Strome? It might be a step back.

Georgiev

Though I'm not opposed to moving Georgiev as part of a package and having Kinkaid.

 

[bobbop]

If we are going to leave this duplicate thread open, at least fix the grammar in the title.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Assuming that @Ice Mammoth isn't @bernmeister , I'd like to see them have a trade off against one another. A test of endurance. Which one will give in first and start posting shorter, realistic trade offers in lieu of dealing with the other's counter-offers.

The challenger isn't to be ignored. He brings an amount of convolution and bandwidth that few of us dare dream.

But my money is on bern being left at the top of the mountain. The man has stamina. The man has synergy.

 

[Ice Mammoth]

The main candidates for the exchange are Buchnevich and Strome.
A future mistake for the Rangers is entering into long-term contracts with Buchnevich and Strome.
The team has - RD1 Kakko, RD2 Kravtsov. Strome (David Quinn ) - hinders the development of Chytil.
Players have a maximum value. Hockey players need to be exchanged !!!

If the team gets 1C (Eichel, Dubois, Pettersson, Suzuki….).
If the command saves Chytil.
You need to exchange Zibanejad.
If one of the two conditions is not met, Zibanejad remains until the end of the contract.
I wrote a new comment. I am waiting for words of admiration.

I agree with you. I am ready to support your bid.
I am thinking of changing my nickname to - Silent Mammoth.

Hajek doesn't look like an NHL player and Miller needs AHL tuning. Re-sign Smith, this offseason has

 

[a tribe cq]

Lots of these comments are so hard to understand what the hell is being said in them.

Either way don’t touch Lucic or Chara.

There are infinite amounts of better options.

No chance Miller starts in the A.

 

[leetch99]

I’m hoping they do keep Gauthier protected. Howden hasn’t even proven he’s an NHL hockey player. If they decide to keep Brendan Smith on a small contract I would love his size and toughness and experience in the lineup.

LOL...and one of these times he will catch somebody with their head down just outside the blueline and completely wreck them.....and all Hell will break loose if it is Barzal or Pasternak and make the Wilson War look like a baby shower . He was about 1 % successful on those hits or attempted head removals last season ......

I'm of the thinking that Gallant can be the guy that makes Gauthier a really great top 9 forward for us .

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Miller only played one season in the NHL.
Miller - LD1? Get an answer.
I wrote:
LD3 – Chara. A hockey player can play about 60% of the games in a season.
Jones (player potential ???) - called up in the NHL (20 matches +)
Oleksiak >> Chara, AAV Oleksiak >>> AAV Chara (AAV $ 1.0M).
With Jones in mind, does Oleksiak make sense?
Smith RD4, LD5 - if the player agrees to a one-year contract with AAV $ 1.0M
I wrote - Many other options. Players may be different.
I'm not against other players. Does this make sense?
You can improve on the deadline.

I wrote:
For example:
Kassian RW - $ 3.2M (@ 20% Ret) - $ 2.56M
Lucic LW - $ 5.25M (@ 40% Ret) - $ 3.15M
On such conditions, hockey players are available.
Players can climb higher by replacing injured players.
(@ 50% Ret) - complicates the exchange, but possible.
I'm not against other players. Does this make sense?

I understood your point on other posts but this one WTF

All players are just pieces to be moved? No the real nhl doesnt work like video games.

yoooooo new shitty poster just dropped. hype

Horrible! Brother - blink a couple of times.
If it doesn't help, close your eyes and relax.

This is my point of view.
I was 90% right when I wrote about the situation in the Rangers before the start of the season.
I think I am not mistaken now - I am describing the current situation.
Problems with: Buchnevich, Strome, Zibanejad need to be addressed.
This is called asset management.
The team has weaknesses - there are resources to eliminate the weaknesses.
I am convinced that we must act. How to proceed? There are different answers.
I wrote my answer.
