Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXIV: Less than 24 hours till draft time

[DutchShamrock]

I mean you can if there's no market for him and you need the cap space. I don't see that being the case though.

I'm tapped out on theories as to why they haven't QO'd him though. It's very odd even if they have a trade lined up.

I think they best theory is the acquiring team prefers to negotiate a multi year deal. Once he accepts the QO he can walk to UFA. It's not bulletproof logic but it's a working theory. Its leverage, just not a lot.

I got the feelin TonyD and Strome are both gone this time tomorrow.

I'm betting only on Strome.

 

[bl02]

Like many on here not the biggest Strome fan but you just can not let a guy that was on pace for 70 points (yep I know the Panarin effect) walk away for nothing.

 

[bl02]

From listening to Micheletti tonight maybe he threw out a subtle hint that ADA and Strome packaged for 2c.

Didn't we do exactly that with Zherdev? And at that time, he was our best player. Not saying they should walk away from Strome without trying to turn him into another asset, but it has happened before.

What did he say?

I would think ADA by himself would net a 2C. Guess it depends who it is.

 

[Trxjw]

Well, that's the thing. We have no idea what balls Gorton is juggling. Obviously there is at least one plan that involves using that cap space for someone other than Strome, but who knows how it will play out.

If Strome doesn't get qualified and he signs somewhere else, it isn't the end of the world. Or maybe we don't qualify him, and our other plans fall through, and we end up re-signing him anyway.

Yeah I mean my original theory is that they're anticipating a deal that might require the cap space they'd use to re-sign him and don't want to risk an arbitration award that they can't walk away from. Maybe the trade market just disappeared and they're worried about being able to off-load him in that event.

That or the team acquiring him doesn't want to risk him getting a 1 year arb award so he can walk as a UFA.

Something I haven’t really thought about...who’s supposed to take all of our offensive zone penalties if we move on from Strome?

Missed it — can you paraphrase?

 

[UnSandvich]

I would shudder to acquire a player who doesn't know where the net is.

Hey, at least it's a skater and not a goalie

Yeah that's kind of my thought process as well. Maybe if they're talking to Ottawa they're considering whether they want picks this year or next year and they're waiting to see who is on the board to make the call? That'd be really cutting it close for Ottawa though.

Kreider can pick up the slack

The video link was posted on page 2 of this thread if you wanna watch it. Pretty informative (7 minutes). Just that Micheletti wasn't sure what is gonna happen with either of them but they could be packaged for a 2c.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Does Strome + our other 1st rounder get us a 2c we are comfortable with? Or maybe its just strome and Anderson? He has to be geting traded if he isn't qualified unless they have a contract that hasn't been finished yet for Strome. Something is brewing

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Our local insiders are radio silent trade incoming!

 

[bl02]

You would think if Strome got wind of Ottawa possibly looking at trading for him he would take less money from the Rangers lol.
I mean Ottawa is gonna have some really good young players but his point total will drop from 70 to 30 and be on a losing team for the next 2-3 years.

 

[bl02]

Basically said he has no idea what is gonna happen but then hinted they could be packaged for a 2c.

@Edge, come speak to me!

I need updates injected into my veins!

good negotiation tactic.

Tony, check out those airline miles and Calgary winters.

Strome and ADA for Monahan

 

[Levitate]

Strome and ADA for Monahan

That’s be a pretty bad deal value wise for the rangers

 

[Dijock94]

Why. You get a young 2c on a decent deal for two guys they clearly don’t want to keep.
