Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LVII

[gravey9]

That just cleared more space than buying out Lundqvist...

 

[RGY]

Need to know the trade details.

also, RB coming in from the top rope

 

[DanielBrassard]

HAHAHAHAHA KNEEL BEFORE ZOD

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

I am A-OK with this deal.

Rangers now looking pretty good salary-cap-wise.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Welcome back RB! I didn't catch his earlier post 2 weeks ago

 

[rangers1314]

Eat 5.7M for a 2nd

WUT? WHAT? WHATTTTTTT???!!!????

 

[gravey9]

Sweet! We can go into next year with 3 goalies again! Right???

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Damn freeing up 5.7 million is huge news.

 

[Tob]

Eat 5.7M for a 2nd

absolutely nuts if no retention.

 

[Raspewtin]

we didn’t even retain LMAOOOOO

2021 draft is booottyyy cheeks.

Emphasis on the booty... And the cheeks.

WOOH! What a day!

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

$5.7MM in cap cleared!!!

Second round pick next year moving to Detroit. Future considerations gives me huge Matt Puempel vibes, but isn't that normally more of a baseball trade thing?

It's probably literally nothing, but you're not allowed to have a trade with officially nothing on one end.

Baseball is player to be named later.

 

[haohmaru]

I haven't been drinking or using unauthorized substances but... I feel like... I must've been.

 

[huerter]

They were supposed to take Trouba but I guess this is a consolation.

 

[McSauer]

Done to keep Hank around, assuming

 

[Tob]

Steve whyeezerman must see some Mortiz Seider in Marc Staal.

 

[rangers1314]

For the record, didn’t Toronto have to cough up a 1 for Marleaus 6M?

 

[Tob]

Small price to pay considering we paid the equivalent of 3 2nd picks for the other Staal who lasted 10 games and 1/2 points with us.

 

[Tob]

For the record, didn’t Toronto have to cough up a 1 for Marleaus 6M?

Marleau wouldn't play for any acquiring team. Clearly Yzerman values Staal's cap hit, warm body, experience, and intangibles.

 

[BroadwayHustle]

Do we think this has any impact on the Lundqvist decision?

 

[RGY]

The Rangers Prospect Pool and their current status as an organization makes it tolerable to sacrifice the 2nd round pick in 2021 in order to get out from the salary.

 

[Leetch3]

future considerations is usually nothing...pretty sure we never got anything from nashville in the blockbuster hugh jessiman deal lol
