Speculation: Roster Building Thread XXXVIII - Dust in the wind…

[RangerBoy]

Texier would be an interesting add.

They want a #1 round pick plus a roster player.

exactly no one is getting him on the cheap

Done deal.....Tinordi who was drafted #22 in 2010 and Gauthier . I guess we will add Hajek to help out .

Texier would be an interesting add.

Yeah, I am also intrigued by him, haven’t followed him super closely, but some ingredients are definitely there.

 

[duhmetreE]

I'm sure that's what they want but we have other assets just as valuable. Nils being one.

Texier has a lot of Kravtsov to his game, or is it the other way around? Great skater and phenomenal hands/vision. If Kravtsov is 'on the outs' there could be some re-shuffling. Nils for Texier... Kravtsov for whatever the best value is

For Texier? Deal. Wonder if you could get them to take 2 former first round picks. 2 of Chytil/Krav/Lundqvist? I would do 2 of them and a pick to keep our first rounder.

 

[egelband]

There really isn’t. @KreiderBomb and I talked about this last night.

Varlamov
Holtby
Greiss

There can be an argument made against any of them that Georgiev, given his age, is a better option. Those 3 are not the same goaltenders they were 2-3 years ago

I think any of those three are preferable for Edmonton. I don’t think they’ve got any appetite for risk. And Georgiev, while his upside is better, is risky. He has been kind of a pill in New York as the backup. Imagine if things don’t go well for him right off the bat in Edmonton. He’d be the starter and under a ton of scrutiny. For everyone’s wellbeing I’d think somewhere like Arizona is best for AG. Less pressure, plenty of ice time.

 

[Lion Hound]

Russ Cohen on NHL radio saying only untouchables are Laf, Schneider, Othmann.
Also says he thinks they will trade Kravtsov (chiarot/Hertl).
Also the obvious possibility of Nils being traded.
Also mentions Jones.

Was this aired before or after Russia attacked the Ukraine?

I would assume that at some point in the near future all travel to and from Russia will be cancelled. It already is suspended from Western Russia and the Ukraine. If the situation escalates and it likely will, what GM is going to trade for a player who is still over there if they can't get him over here?

 

[rangers1314]

Whats going on with Roslovic in CB? His TOI has dropped 5 minutes this season.

The Rangers are trading their best asset in Lundkvist for a middle six winger.

Our best assets are on the big club already and I'd argue Othmann has passed him.

Nils is not going to get what you think he'll get. Turcotte. Texier.. I'd rather get someone with some development. Texier is a top6 talent with Kravtsov potential but mo' better

and to answer your question... yes, I'd trade Nils for Texier in a heartbeat.

 

[rangers1314]

Kravtsov potential

We know what that is?

 

[duhmetreE]

We know what that is?

depends who you ask.

but I'd argue he's much further along and more probable of becoming a NHL top6 player. His toolbox is actually better than Kravtsovs.

I'd say Texier's playing style fits the teams needs more than Kravtsov. He has a high motor from past viewings. Perhaps Columbus is more intrigued with the higher skill guy based on the way their team is built currently.

 

[rangers1314]

I said this before, but I would be flabbergasted if JD had any interest in bringing VK back into his world.

He doesn't seem like a guy Yarmo would be keen on either. Don't see a match there.

He's a cheap talented asset. Organizations like the Jackets and Coyotes are always a match for that.

If he was coming cheap, he would have been moved by now.

 

[Thirty One]

I like Texier, and I'm not convinced he's not a center.

 

[RangersFan1994]

RW is a need too. If Hunt is a on the top 3 lines in the playoffs or McKegg for that matter.

It was a live interview around 2pm today. Good point tho. I have no idea how all that stuff works but you would think for a professional athlete it might be different? Just a wild guess tho.

VK would be illogical for them. Might as well just keep texier

it’d be Nils

I'm talking $, not trade value.

He's $600K more than VK and VK alone wouldn't get the deal done. It would probably take both (which I wouldn't do, FWIW).

 

[CLW]

Whats going on with Roslovic in CB? His TOI has dropped 5 minutes this season.

He lacks IQ. He has skating in abundance but his decision making is all over the place and erratic/random.

 

[effen]

Texier is a very average player. Strome w/o Panarin is at least a tier above him and maybe two for reference.
