Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XXXIII: Goals. Goals Everywhere.

The thing is, papajohns is terrible, especially in NY with all the better options. That looked like a forced smile from Sam when he was eating it.

"Smile Sam or we're terminating your MSG contract"

We should offer Girardi with Graves, a 1st and a two 2nds to Florida in exchange for a 3rd and a bag of pretzels.

Can always recoup those assets by dealing Nash next year at the deadline.

can't give Graves away and this may be too much

however...

Playoff Avatars right here.

Yes. A hundred times yes.

Dibs on "Pizza/60"

The Rangers, as a team, average 1.16 pizzas per game

Mats Zuccarello is involved in the creation of .26 pizzas per game, or, if you prefer, 2.11 slices of pizza per game.

Henrik Lundqvist allows .85 pizzas per game.

Zero chance in hell we trade Miller right now.

1. NEW YORK RANGERS

Now here’s a marriage that needs making. Manhattan is a dream market considering he calls the Hamptons home, and he’s a dream fit for a D-corps lacking offensive flair. Ryan McDonagh has improved a lot in that department but isn’t a natural scorer, and Brady Skjei’s offense, while ascending, hasn’t caught up to his swift skating yet. Shattenkirk would fill that void.
What New York can offer: The Rangers burst with forward depth. Someone like J.T. Miller has the pedigree and talent to attract another team in a trade but also toils on the Blueshirts’ third line, making him reasonably expendable. We also know the Rangers are never, ever averse to mortgaging away draft picks.
Red flag: I don’t see a ton of downside here. The Rangers are in win-now mode as long as Henrik Lundqvist and Rick Nash play for them. They’re deep enough to spare a forward and not miss much. A Shattenkirk extension would make the salary cap situation dicey, as Mika Zibanejad is an RFA this summer, but the Rangers would shed some salary via whomever they offered for Shattenkirk. It’s hardly an impossible feat to pull off.

Do teams really want to give Shatty a boatload of money for 7 or 8 years? I like him as a player but that upcoming contract is not without large risk.

 

[n8]

would anyone do a YOLO rental for Jagr for something like Hrivik & a 4th? I imagine he might get more. Jagr on the 4th line seems like a weird match. It would just be good to have the Mullet back in town.

i feel like that's where most of the pressure for a trade comes in because of the 8th year. I'd max 5.75 per on 8 years.

Idk how you trade for him and offer him 6.5-7 a season and pair him with your captain that makes 4.7 .. strikes me as odd let's pay everyone what they want and not our best defensemen. I will say step is worth every penny he gets. And when Mac truck signed I expected him to see the same kind of pay he just didn't get it

Step's current contract is his 3rd.

Mac is on his 2nd.

If McD hits UFA, he'll get Suter money/term.

Good point, but wasn't that McDonagh's second contract? I think McDonagh did the team a solid on his contract considering what guys like Niskanen make. I don't think you could do anything above 6 either. I'd sell it on the longevity rather the cap hit. 5.75x8 8 is still $46 million deal.

 

[NYR Viper]

I'm fine signing Shattenkirk. Most of those skill-type defensemen age pretty well. Streit. Timmonen. Markov. Campbell.

I would not be okay trading for him this year. Don't waste the assets. If I'm a player who wants to sign somewhere long term, the last thing I would want is to have that team offload talent to acquire me at the deadline. It makes my future team weaker.

This is how I feel about it too, a contract that takes a non-physical player to ~34ish isn't that insane to me

To me this article reads as if they are suggesting that we trade Miller for Shattenkirk. That could be the dumbest ****ing thing I have ever read.

Agreed. I do believe that they will trade for him and it will be something none of us expect.

True it was his second contract but he could of gone the route some players did and just demand the money so it was nice to see both sides just agree with any hiccups.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Agreed. I do believe that they will trade for him and it will be something none of us expect.

JG appears to keep everything really close to the chest. So if there is a way to land him we wouldn't hear about it until the transaction is complete. I agree the Miller for Shatty is an absolute joke. I wouldn't give away a guy who's finally putting it together.

 

[Mac n Gs]

We shouldn't be trading assets for Shattenkirk.

Im serious when I say this... I know STL desperately needs LD as bad as we need RD. Staal has played well this year. Staal and a 2nd/3rd for Shattenkirk. Armstrong is TERRIBLE when it comes to making deals. Not that this would be as bad of a deal as everyone thinks.

I would be in favor of that. If we are adding Shattenkirk, we need to subtract significant cap from our defense. Buying out Girardi doesn't cut it. Nash's money will be needed to give raises to our RFAs.

 

[NewLife]

I'm sure some would but I doubt any contender would invest that much in him. Hope Rangers won't.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Beautiful to hear Bobby Mac say we want to stick with building up this young group and not mortgage any more future assets. I also like the idea of looking into a Holden-esque RHD to help at the deadline. Moneypuck *****es.
