Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXIII - As the bell tolls, who will stay who will go?

[Leetch3]

JG is looking out for us by not rushing to make deals...the season might not start till Jan. if all the deals get done today what are we going to do for the next 2 months? pay attention at work without distractions? no thanks...I appreciate you jeff

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I'd love to add Josh Anderson.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Josh Anderson could be retired for a decade and Larry will still be writing about how the Rangers should trade for him

I do not get his infatuation with Anderson

 

[Mac n Gs]

I'd love to add Josh Anderson.

Not for the proposed Tom Wilson deal when he’s coming off shoulder surgery. That would be brutal.

 

[leetch99]

I'm a good 60+ pages behind in reading. I take a couple of days for a couple of rounds of golf and then play catch up all week LOL.....have I missed any Ranger deals today so far which will save me the misery of reading the last 32 pages ?

Pass.

You missed nothing. Carry on.

You must be a hit at parties.

You were the life of last nights.

If he was healthy, he'd be a great add to the bottom 6

 

[Trxjw]

I'd love to add Josh Anderson.

I worry about his game with one good shoulder. I'd be hesitant to offer him a multi-year deal but then again I don't have access to his medical records. If he's healthy he's a perfect compliment to the group we've got up front.

No deals yet, but stay tuned.

Thanks...much appreciated .

Anderson's a winger and eh do we need one of those? I'd kinda rather let Gauthier and Kravtsov compete for that spot then use assets to acquire Anderson, coming off of an injury, and sign him to a big deal

e: he's obviously far far far more proven than Gauthier but maybe it makes sense to see if Gauthier can work towards being somewhat like Anderson with his size and skill

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

It seems like Anderson is using one good season as an excuse to play hardball with Columbus. I'd pass if it were up to me.

If we trade Buchnevich then absolutely we'd need to bring in a RW. Even if we don't trade him we could probably use another veteran guy on the right-side. Losing Fast is tough and Gauthier might not be ready for top-9 minutes yet even though he looked really good in the play-in games.

 

[bigdog16]

Im sure its already been discussed and theres probably a slim chance they trade in divison. But TDA to Philly makes some sense. Niskanan retiring, Tony fills a need, and its his hometown team. What return would get it done from Phillys end?

Didn't Columbus want a stupid amount for him? Or am I thinking of someone else.

Yeah I'd just honestly pick up some low cost replacements and work in the youth rather than move for a guy like Anderson. He feels like a piece you add when your core is solidly built and you're adding that extra piece, not when you're still developing some guys and seeing what you have

No that's him.

ITKs right now holding on to their nuggets of information:

Yeah I can appreciate that line of thinking. For me it would come down to acquisition cost, cost for his new deal, and what his medical outlook was. He's a hard player to find. Someone who plays with a real edge who can actually play up and down your lineup. Those guys are few and far between in today's NHL.

I know he was trying to cash-in big time on his last deal and ended up taking a bridge. So I gotta think he'd be expensive to re-sign. So that's a turn-off for me.

 

[Savant]

They did. They also traded Vegas a 1st rounder to NOT pick him during expansion draft.

This would be a disaster. David Clarkson 2.0.

 

[Levitate]

yup 27 year old power forward coming off surgery looking for a big deal is a red flag

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

If he was healthy, he'd be a great add to the bottom 6

Larry’s talking about handing him a Tom Wilson contract for 5.1 million, that ain’t bottom 6 money

Didn't Columbus want a stupid amount for him? Or am I thinking of someone else.

yes they asked for like multiple blue chippers from Edmonton for him lol
