Speculation: Roster Building Thread Part XIV: There ain't no gettin' off of this train we're on

[Ola]

Trouba < Skjei

All I care about is that Skjei-Trouba could be a very solid for us for a decade or longer. Makes a lot of sense for us to get a RD with some size that can play on the PK. Trouba, Shatty/TDA, Pionk is a good right side to build on for the future.

 

[Bruner4329]

Skjei-Shatty
Pionk-ADA
Staal-?

That'll be the D next year. No need to trade for an overrated dman

I have seen nothing from ADA that tells me he should be handed a spot on this roster next year. He is really poor in the defensive zone.

 

[Kovalev27]

draft your righty D of the future in a couple months. there are some seriously talented righty D men avail and we should be grabbing one.

 

[Roo Returns]

Hamonic isn't even young anymore. 28 before the start of next season. Multiple concussions. Doesn't provide any offense. Wanted off the East Coast.

Anything more than a 4th and Boo Nieves is over payment.

D next year: Skjei, Pionk, Staal, Shattenkirk, ADA, an in shape Smith who is going to be going all Rocky IV Training Montage this summer. Maybe they sign a Barbiero or Oduya or some vet for a cheap short term deal. Maybe they luck out and win the lottery or Boqvist falls to them.

I do expect cameos from at least one of Hajek/Lindgren/Gilmour.

I don't expect a cameo from Day.

What would it cost to get Dougie Hamilton out of Calgary? We could use another 2 way RHD.

Zucc + one of our late 1sts?

Would need a lot more than that.

I'm still irrationally consumed with getting Sam Bennett out of Calgary.

How many teams has he been on by the time we’d get him? All 31?

No. Draft BPA.

Love the Patrice avatar. Favorite comedian of all time. RIP.

I don't know how I'd feel having a guy with a five-year-old's name (Dougie) on my team...lolol.

But in all seriousness, he's nasty it would be a pretty penny. My unbiased asking price to Jeff Gorton as the Calgary GM: "Ok, you've got this kid Georgivev in goal so you won't have room for all of him, the other Russian, and the UConn kid. We need a goalie we'd like Georgiev, the first you got from Boston, and the Czech Dman you just acquired from Tampa."

Thanks. He was the greatest.

No ppl soured on prospects for being trading. That guy has had a shot with every team and every type of coach.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Where were all the best dmen in the league taken? They are mainly outside the top 5

 

[Rongomania]

No. Draft BPA.

If we don’t win it all (lotto) I reeeally hope we win the Svech sweepstakes!

 

[bobbop]

I think for an organisation with recent disappointments such as Calgary - and perhaps like our very own Rangers, the key is to hold on to bright spots and sparks of potential success like Adam Fox. I could hardly see our organisation trading a player like Fox in Calgary's position or in ours.

I saw one reason Fox may be in play...he just told the Flames he’s going back to Harvard for a junior year. They were not thrilled. I think they have some fear he’ll play out the fourth year and become a free agent. He’s a Long Island kid.

I'm fully aroused.

 

[Kovalev27]

Considering we’ll be drafting between 8 and 11 most likely, the bpa is probably going to be a righty D. It’s not very cut and dry after dahlin quite frankly.

 

[Waivers]

I like Bouchard, a lot, if we are targeting a defenseman out of the gate. Smart dude, poised, and he shoots righty - big fan.

 

[Waivers]

Possibly Bouchard, Rykov, Hajek, Lindgren collectively in the next few years. It's exciting to witness. I would also include and be willing to part ways with Zuccarello + 1st 2018 to start for a real top pairing D. I know we need help offensively too, but the defense is an absolute nightmare. Skjei, Shattenkirk, Pionk I'm all sold on going forward. ADA is really perplexing to me anyway, can't tell what kind of game he brings and that to me signifies inconsistency. Granted he is only 22 on quite possibly the most disorderly team in the NHL, but I am really impressed with how Pionk has played.

 

[Tawnos]

No. Draft BPA.

As long as that BPA is a W or a D

Yeah, only dumb as a box of rocks organizations actually do that.
