Speculation: Roster Building Thread LVI: Artemi, where art thou? In NY.

[SnowblindNYR]

Is there a Brassard for Zib trade opportunity? Or a "light" version of it? I doubt we'll get something like that now.

 

[NYR94]

Kasparaitis wow. I remember that summer when free agency started. I was taking summer classes at college but running to the computer lab in between classes to check to see who was getting signed.
Summer of Bobby Holik. What a time.

 

[Barnaby]

Maybe, but then again, we also dealt Brassard for Zibanejad and Gomez for McDonagh. Deals are out there to be found sometimes.

Sure, obviously I’d give it a shot but C’s are at a premium as are young players in general. If they can swing a top line center in that mold then I’m in for sure. Otherwise a guy in that Kadri mold was probably best case...

 

[Alluckks]

I have a strange feeling that wouldn't work for Nashville.

They did just bring in Duchene; Granlund as their 3rd line C currently - not sure what kind of deal it would need to look like but maybe something could be figured out.

 

[Alluckks]

Granund also has not played center in like 4 years. And his offensive breakout corresponded with him being moved to the wing.

Granlund is an extremely important player for NSH this year and likely playing on the wing with Duchene and Smith on the second line.

Didn't know about him shifting to wing, nvm on my previous post

I think Strome could be that guy.

He produced with Names and Fast as his wingers, I would assume with mostly defensive zone starts.
63GP 18G 15A

I could see a Couturier type of progression with him.. Maybe not to that extreme but 50-60pts 2nd line center.

 

[Alluckks]

Would think that Boston would have interest in Kreider. What would we be looking for there if they called?

I meant as a trade, but if Strome becomes a 50-60 point center that would be great. I really liked him, worked hard with good skill. One of the rare times (Brassard is another example) where a guy played his best with the Rangers.

Yeah, I know what you meant.. I think Gorton was looking for something similar to Zibs...

High draft pick that's been inconsistent/struggling into his early-mid 20's. Strome fits that criteria

 

[Thirty One]

Nashville was very unhappy with him after trade. That is not my speculation.

That may be so, but there's no way his trade value is as low as you're speculating.

 

[SA16]

He's been on Koivu's wing since the 16-17 season. In Nashville he mostly played on Turris' wing last year. He did play a little bit of center last year after Koivu got hurt because they didn't have anyone else to fill in.

Studnicka/JFK & a 1st?

If you really wanna laugh some people on the main board compared the Panarin signing to the Holik signing. Talk about clueless.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

This is always be Kasparaitis’ greatest moment as a player lmao.

Why'd they edit out that Snapple commercial?!

 

[duhmetreE]

I still believe Lias can develop into a solid piece for us..... but imagine getting Petterson or Glass..

Not sure why Glass would be grouped with Petterson and not Andersson. But besides, we already got the superior Glass.

Random thought: Names for Pool-party. EDM looks to tap that Stamkos Kuch production. Gets themselves a top 9 roster player for an asset they can't use. We shave some cap. Get a young ? I wouldn't even bother posting to trade boards as Oiler fans can't seem to disassociate PP's draft position from his current development status. I think our org could do a much better job developing him. Maybe we include a 5th and get Edmonton's..... 7th

He hit 50 already with the Isles. Give him a legit linemate and he may surprise everyone.

They have $3.9 m in cap space. Names puts them slightly over.

That doesn't surprise me and it's why I don't really read the threads about Rangers signings/trades on the main board too much. Way too many uninformed hot takes and everything is "Rags this, Rags that." Gives me a headache.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

How did the Penguins not do anything about that especially in the early 90s?

I have no idea; but apparently Edmonton was pretty close to pulling the trigger on a deal of Buch+ for #8 and Pool Party. And Zegras was on the board with that pick.

I have to imagine it’s not as rare as some are making it seem.

Are we really complaining about Panarin's English speaking? Really? REALLY?

Maybe Kravtsov can teach him
