Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXI

[GoAwayPanarin]

no to bringing back ANY former rangers. stop

Bring back Brandon Prust to be the head of Public Relations.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

I bet nik Zherdev would be a good fit call him up

 

[Kupo]

Not even Blair Betts...?

 

[SA16]

If we trade Tony what about trying to sign Shattenkirk on the cheap? He’d immeidately he able to replace him as the 3RD PP1 player and we’ve already seen him take a discount to play here before.

 

[aufheben]

Yeah Tony fits their needs like a glove, it’s a shame he was an asshole while there and they hate him

That’d be kind of a petulant reason to decline improving your team.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Only if we can get Antropov and Frolov as well.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

I remember making Blair Betts a 90 overall in NHL when I was 13

Also remember making Valiquette a 90 and Hank like a 69 after a bad loss to Vancouver

I can hear several posters having aneurysms as they read this.

I was halfway through constructing a post before realizing it was bait.

 

[Trxjw]

Forget McDonagh. I’m not 100% in favor of doing it, but a Tampa fan just posted their needs in return for Sergachev as follows: RD prospect + young forward. Hmm...

Been said already but it almost certainly costs Lundkvist to get Sergachev. That's a big price to pay and it puts the Rangers in an awkward spot in the short term and looking further ahead. You've now got two big-time offensive d-men on the blue line who need contracts. Then you need to worry about losing someone in expansion if you keep them both. They of course would expose Lindgren in this case and that's not the end of the world but I'd hate to lose a viable top-4 D for nothing.

I guess the Rangers could flip everything on it's ear and move both of TDA and Lundkvist but that doesn't seem very likely.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Shattenkirk and the Rangers have a shared hatred towards the other party at the moment

So if hell was freezing over, yeah I could see it

Anyone against signing Brashear for tuffness?

I feel like Lundkvist + Chytil or just DeAngelo.

 

[Tob]

Grabner and Hagelin I could see.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

I think Brashear is probably the worst player I’ve ever seen on the Rangers

Eric Reitz was bad but yea. Washed up Brashear was a sight to behold .

 

[RickChartraw]

Mike Gartner has some unfinished business here, i bet he can still shoot.

 

[RGY]

No I think Roman Ndur takes that title. Although there are definitely plenty of challengers up there. Ndur was so, so bad.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Wonder what Howie Morenz is up to

 

[bobbop]

Is Shattenkirk available?

Don’t laugh. I could see a scenario where this happens.

 

[Trxjw]

Well DeAngelo doesn't help them out of their jam unless we also take back another contract. Lundkvist and Chytil is a lot to pay when you consider we do have a pretty good LHD pipeline and we're very shallow at center.

I think TDA and 22 for Sergachev and Gourde was thrown out in the last thread. Something like that is the only way the cap implications work out for Tampa.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Darroll Powe and Daniel Paille for 4th line PK duties plz.

I was four when he was on the team lol
