Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXV

[Lion Hound]

His nickname is The Great Quebec Hope.

Not even kidding.

I kinda like 11. Like Stranger things.

 

[RGY]

Ahhhhh the dream is dead

 

[Krams]

Remember when some Habs fans were using Domi as a main piece in hypothetical trades for the 1st overall?

 

[Edge]

So lot's of PM's about Brooks saying the Rangers could trade down.

The short answer is that it's possible, but probably depends on what the board looks like. If you have a board that resembles the one from our mock draft, minus someone like Greig being available, they might prefer to trade down and pick up the second.

But I wouldn't get too upset about that possibility just yet.

@Edge Is there a strong possibility we see a trade moving deangelo or other parts in order to get our #2 center or a LD tonight?

The "rumor" from different sections of the league is that a lot of teams are very nervous heading into this draft and want to see what bargain prices they might find in free agency.

Ah i see, thats probably why we havent heard any trades announced from the rangers to get the trades they want.

Thanks for the insight as always

I’d love to see one larger deal and a couple smaller ones, but I imagine the draft is going to be very quiet tonight. Not expecting anything from the Rangers.

 

[Ola]

Would love to see us trade down from 22, going to be plenty of interesting players available in the 2nd.

@duhmetreE "@Edge any chance Buch is moved this draft for a 1st?"

Not something that seems likely.

I wouldn't think so either, though I would do it.

(BTW; thanks for your reply on Gunler. I don't get a sense they value him at 22. If they moved down from 22, maybe)

 

[Kaapo Bustfreniere]

Numerology suggests 8 is the optimum number for the name "Lafreniere" Trouba, I'm looking at you.
When 8 is associated with a Lafreniere this is the numerology report.
You have the power and potential to achieve great things. It is both your challenge and your birthright to gain dominion over a small part of the earth. Whatever your enterprise, you strive to be the best and most successful in your field. You are highly competitive and will not rest until you are satisfied that you have bypassed the opposition. You enjoy challenges and rivalry. You are a realist and a visionary planner.”
Done!

Science suggests numerology is a pile of stinking poo

This makes sense, especially with guys like Deangelo, I dont think the Rangers would be trading this guy for picks, it would be for players who can help them right away as well as into the future.

 

[jay from jersey]

@HatTrick Swayze - From the last thread..


Could be that the team is expecting some other guys to hit the open market. Maybe a guy like Wennberg or Turris if he's bought out. Seems to be talk that some unexpected names will go without getting QO's, so the team might just want the cap space available to pick up some bargains. Maybe you can get Virtanen and Turris/Wennberg for the same price as Strome's QO / arbitration award.

Yea it’s a little strange. Either they have a trade that’s almost done or they are comfortable enough to have Howden n Chytil as their 2C

 

[Trxjw]

I think it's probably a level of confidence in the former. They might be close enough on a couple trades that they're fairly certain one will come through but that if it doesn't they'll be able to pick someone up as a free agent who is just as effective as Strome.

I know they like the talent. I just know there are other guys they have ahead of him. Will those guys be on the board at 22? Not sure.

Also possible they think the overall value of Gunler plus someone else they like in the second trumps a guy who is on the board at 22.

Laf with a 3 piece suit? Nice

Non-Rangers scout thinks Brisson might be the Rangers guy. Let’s see if he is right.

Come join us in the draft thread.

I like him. Maybe a little off the board but...That’s relatively common for the Rangers on draft day

I Definitely want a Center. We need a influx of those prospects in the system

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Brisson is my #2 for that pick so thumbs up

 

[RGY]

Ehhh on Brisson. So eh

like the scouting report on him.

I’m guaranteed to hate this 22 pick.

I don’t think he stays at center. I also don’t thing the Rangers should force a center pick here.
