Speculation: Roster Building Thread IX (2021 Offseason Thread)

[SRHRangers]

it also greatly depends where he wants to live. that was a part of why he ended up in minny at the time

Actually, speaking of location, Winnipeg could use Suter in the worst way lol

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Why?

You break up a pairing that has been excellent and you stick two young and learning players together on the third line

yeah the pairs are wrong but that is a spicy top 6

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Our RW depth is Buchnevich, Kakko and Kravstov or Gauthier. Tara would easily be in the top six.

Yeah. I realize that. It was a tongue in cheek post illustrating that the Rangers have no business trying to add another winger, on either side.

 

[Thirty One]

I miss those Enzyte commercials with smiling Bob. As an avid ESPN Classic viewer in my teens, those ads left a profound effect on me

Yes, saw that so many times during Rangers-Devils Game 6.

i think this is a prime location and could match his lifestyle.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

certainly not in the top 6 unless someone is moved (Buch, Kravt, Kakko)

 

[IDvsEGO]

Even if you move buch, you still have no reason to acquire a top 6. Kratsov looked good in the top 6, and the left side is Panarin and laf.

 

[Savant]

We have to try breaking up Lindgren and Fox at some point. The reward is too high not to. Fox will be fine and if Lindgren keeps up his level of play, that's two top pairs right there instead of one.

If it doesn't work, you can just put them back together.

I don’t agree with this. There isn’t a good reason to split them up and no one else has forced the issue. If it’s not broke don’t fix it that pairing is one of the Rangers biggest strengths at this point.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Yeah but I doubt the Rangers are going to give both Kakko and Kravtsov top six spots right off the bat based one everything we've heard about Dolan wanting playoffs, etc.

Kakko is going into his 3rd year. If he's not in line for a top 6 spot there are problems. If they trade Buch, expect those two to be the top line RWs.

 

[cheech70]

Suter for just cash is a steal for LD3...use the assets that were for a veteran LD add it for the 2C

 

[pld459666]

Suter-Fox
Lindgren-Trouba
Miller-Lundkvist

Lindgren Fox
Miller Trouba
Suter Lundkvist

Rangers better make a play for suter. League minum for vet 3ld and a great one at that. He would thrive in a lesser role given his age.

You think hes signing for the league minimum?

 

[NYRangers16]

Care to provide the proof? Seems like just baseless speculation that people like to throw around here.

It is speculation, based on his articles making no sense outside of the context. It’s either that or he doesn’t understand modern hockey.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I don't think he'll sign anywhere for league minimum. But around the league, teams are realizing that these old guys have value, and because their contracts are so short-term there's not a lot of risk involved either. Almost every team in the league that's better than us will be looking at Suter for their third pair.

 

[NYSPORTS]

if he signs for the minimum i'd say it's for a contender.

 

[NYRangers16]

I like Chytil too, but Detroit just isn’t gonna let their best asset go for free. We’re gonna have to pay something to get him. Maybe Buch makes more sense considering the two contract situations?

Buch makes a ton of sense, then we move Strome to RW where his defensive difficiences matter less.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

He's not signing for league minimum.

 

[Ola]

Wudafuk, they bought out Ryan Suter? Not questioning the decision by Minny, but I agree that we should be in on him for sure.

Was even looking at how bad his contract really was pretty recently.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Suter is still going to make 3-4 on his next contract.

Also trading Buch makes sense if you replace him with a player who is different than Buch while still being good. Moving Strome to RW doesn't help.

 

[OrangePMD]

Suter for whatever he wants, but two years max. We have the cap space. If someone gives him three years or more, they can have him.

But I doubt we'll get him. He'll sign with a contender (or should I say, a team he thinks will be a contender, like Jumbo Joe did).

 

[IDvsEGO]

Kakko is going into his 3rd year. If he's not in line for a top 6 spot there are problems. If they trade Buch, expect those two to be the top line RWs.

Kakko looked "ready" for a top 6 role last year. The problem was more a quinn problem than a kakko one. Kratsov looked ready as well in his limited opportunities, but again quinn stalled that with blackwell.

 

[NYRangers16]

Crazy. I read Russo's article earlier this morning where he touched on every aspect of the Wild's off-season.

Guerin is moving on.

Wow, that’s a lot of cap. Was always inevitable when they signed though.

 

[IDvsEGO]

Wow, that’s a lot of cap. Was always inevitable when they signed though.

Parise has been expected for a few years now, but suter was the surprise since he actually isnt bad right now.
