Speculation: Roster Building Thread Part VII: Return of Beaver Brad

[Charlie Conway]

I'd buy low on Jurco. Skill and talent is there, but he just hasn't put up offense at the NHL level. I know Mikos likes Tanner Kero too

Absolutely, but I don't see why they wouldn't just waive Tootoo and Berube.

AV says Andersson, Chytil both could make club

 

[Machinehead]

If they made the team and were effective, that would help out our scheme immensely.

If Chytil made the club (I don't see how since he's injured), would he be the youngest NHL player ever?

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I don't get how an 18-year-old (non-McDavid, non-Crosby) is going to help an NHL team more than a 28-year-old Beck or Hrivik or Jensen or Carey type, but I guess there's no reason not to hold the big shiny object out in front of them.

ed: also your standard 12th and 13th forwards can get scratched and get their playing time cut without it hurting their development or being a big annoying "thing"

Nope. A 16 year old played with the Bruins (and scored) when he was 16. This was in the 40s.

It was Jagr

Good stuff. Thanks

The other ramification of this: If the Leafs don't/can't use LTIR, they really don't have much cap space. So Lupul specifics matter.





So maybe the Holden for Bozak rumors will be back on. But even so, I don't know how we can fit Bozak's salary as long as Staal is on the team. Ugh, Staal's salary is squeezing the Rangers.

How good is bereglazov? Is he a lock to make this team?

Definitely not a lock.

He was a Top-2 d-man on the 2nd best team in the KHL. Did well.

Most have said he was disappointing at Traverse, so whether he was taking it easy or having a hard time is up for debate.

How he plays in these games will be important unless they saw something they liked in camp.

Not a lock, didn't have a good Traverse City rookie tournament, but past that it's all reading the tea leaves stuff. Not much to go off of.

I know he's had a rough go of it so far, but barring a trade where the Rangers take on a little more salary, I do think he's a lock to be on the roster, even if he's not an opening night guy. Feel like the Rangers will start the year with 8 D.

Andersson looks really good. As does Miller

 

[Avery16]

Pionk outplayed DeAngelo

 

[Avery16]

As much as Andersson impressed, Lettieri was also a standout

 

[darko]

It was Jagr

Lol.

 

[Irishguy42]

Not in the best ways though.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Pionk outplayed DeAngelo

Agreed, but DeAngelo already is an NHL'er, so I don't think we need to take this one game to mean Pionk is more NHL ready.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Pionk outplayed DeAngelo

I thought DeAngelo actually looked a little bit better than Pionk overall, but they were close and that goal by Pionk was awesome.

 

[Machinehead]

Pionk was good tonight but DeAngelo was definitely better

 

[Avery16]

Farnham seemed ok. I think he'd be fine as a 4th line winger/13F

 

[Avery16]

I saw a couple horrendous passes/clears and they were both DeAngelo's
