Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXIX

[Leetch3]

I just don’t see it. That’s not a “marginal” raise, as the article claims. We let Fast walk over less, percentage-wise.

we let fast walk over the years not $$

Strome right now looks like a 2 year deal at 4,6-4,7. He will not garnish any trade protection, so it is an OK deal IMO. There are 2 deadlines to choose from to eventually get some assets back.

And this makes the most sense for both the team and the player. Again, if the Rangers trade him at the deadline or lose him to Seattle that's valuable

Who?

Michael Lindqvist

Panarin should garnish half of that

Of course its just Eklund, but too juicy not to share

Not sure where The Score is getting this from but the said the Rangers might be a potential destination for Jake Gardiner.

I'd prefer him over Johnson

He still has 3 years at $4MM AAV left though.

I wonder if Carolina would retain

Does this guy come up with the craziest rumors or what?!

PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Sure if he had 1 year left at lets say 2 million or less

 

[bl02]

Strome for multiple years at 5+ is a genuinely awful contract.

Yeah anything over 4.75 for Strome especially over 5 would be disappointing. 1-2 years max obviously. We have to fit in Lemieux at probably 1.75-2 as well.

 

[NYR Viper]

Just because it's slow would anyone do:

Smith for Gardinder @ $3m per season

btw, because NYR sent away 2021 2d Round Pick,
NYR could only offer-sheet Barzal in either of these AAV ranges ....

$4,363,096 - $6,544,640 : 1 First Round Pick, 1 Third Round Pick
$10,907,736 - ∞: 4 First Round Picks

Strome for multiple years at 5+ is a genuinely awful contract.

Beauty clearly is in the eye of the beholder.

As I see absolutely no evidence that a) Chytil is remotely ready for such a role and b) that anyone you bring in via UFA would be better and not more expensive, to me a reasonable multi year deal (2-4 years) is smart money.

I also do not recall saying anything about 5+.

 

[NYR Viper]

I wonder if Gardiner has a slightly improved season at $3m if he would be the choice of selection for an expansion team like Seattle. Having both Strome and Gardiner @ $3m may be enticing choices for a new franchise in lieu of someone like Hajek or Howden.

IMO, no player aside from McDavid, is worth giving up four 1st round picks. And the Islanders would have a good reason to accept the offer sheet and take the picks.

And I doubt Barzal signs for less than 6.5m triggering the lower compensation

 

[True Blue]

Agreed, but not in the way you’re suggesting.

Ok. I will bite. Please elucidate.

Bingo. Not happening. No way he takes anything close to 6.5 or less and we can't give him 10 million plus not to mention 4 first rounders.

If we offered him the 6.5 range and he signed it the Islanders would instantly match and we’d have done them a huge favor. If we offered the 10M plus we’d have shot ourselves in the foot for a player who isn’t worth that kind of money.

Eklund is the CNN of hockey “insiders”

 

[True Blue]

Fox just had the best rookie season for NYR since Lundqvist and some folks are still trying to trade him

I do not see any serious suggestions for that.

But just to play sort of devil's advocate, DeAngleo just had the best offensive season of any Rangers defenseman in 25 years and folks are still trying to trade him.

Yeah, there's no way we are getting Barzal with an offer sheet. Aho last year was the first offer sheet actually signed by the player since 2013. I wish we had some transparency about offer sheets that players didn't sign. I think we'd see many more examples of that, than actual signed offer sheets.
