Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XLII Time for Curtis Lazar?

[Shesterkybomb]

Eichel isn't coming here y'all can stop dreaming, there's too many barriers.

 

[True Blue]

He's exactly the type of player Gorton should go hard after if he were indeed available. All of the depth and prospects he has accrued over the last 3-4 years can't all play on this team.

No, they can't. But neither will be the assortment of contracts collected with him on the team.

 

[True Blue]

Either Kreider or Zibanajad will be captain. I always like how Zib pushes people at practice, making sure they don't cheat the drills and put the effort in. Kreider is more your typical captain.

Gut says ZBad, but keep thinking it should be Kreider. Not afraid to call people out, big locker room presence.....

Eichel isn't coming here y'all can stop dreaming, there's too many barriers.

No, he's not.

Of the guys who are set to become free agents after today if they don't sign, who are you interested in?




Curtis Douglas is the only guy who I know something about. He's huge at 6'9; new to the C position; he's only 20; and he went 30/30 in 62 games in the OHL.

Gio Vallati was great for Kitchener before he was dealt. Allen McShane put up some very good stats...

I really like Aktell personally. He was great on a surprisingly good Björklöven team this season, to the point where they were in a good spot for promotion until the pandemic ruined everything. He signed with Växjö so will be in the SHL himself despite his team not getting an opportunity

In case any of you want some stupidity to laugh at, came across this on the main boards:

"So from the looks of it Kapo Kakko might be done as an NHL player after he's been diagnosed with diabetes and celiac disease: Genuine concern for the Rangers Kaapo Kakko when play resumes - Forever Blueshirts: A site for New York Rangers fanatics Says he's in great danger of dying from the corona virus if he gets it. This doesn't look good for his future and it's pretty safe to say that Kakko will never reach his draft potential."

 

[UnSandvich]

Haahahahaha it gets even better:

"Why would the Rangers ever draft a player 2nd overall that has both diabetes and celiac disease?! That doesn't make any sense... I mean how are you going to handle a stiff elbow to the head if you can't even handle gluten and sugar?!"

Kappo Kakko is in the corona risk group: Diagnosed with diabetes and celiac disease.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I'm not going to pretend to be a doctor, but I'd be surprised if Kakko plays in the playoffs.

This kid is going to define the next decade for this team. If there's even a sliver of a chance his health can be compromised, I don't see how in good faith the team can have him play.

JD has already said they're going to listen to science on this one, if Domi doesn't play, can't imagine Kakko will be either

Kakko may not like it but that's just the reality unfortunately

Different article yet You chimed into the thread reviewing this same topic over the weekend. Lol Apparently you never read the thread.

To be clear, this person isn't talking about the playoffs this year. This person is essentially saying Kakko's career is over.

 

[NYSPORTS]

I'm making fun of this person for being an idiot. Would you like me to make fun of you too? I can assure you, it won't be difficult.

thanks for your contributions in the Kakko thread which made mention of the tweet and ed mentioned the risks. You missed all of that yet contributed this gem. Awesome

 

[Avery16]

If we signed Jensen from our reserve list, he wouldn't be eligible for the playoffs, right?

That person is well known on the main boards for making the most ridiculous threads. Sometimes, when you see someone else make a ridiculous thread, you'll see someone comment that they're surprised it's not a Mulletman thread.

Best to ignore it.

He would be. For play off eligibility, a player has to be on a team's reserve list or signed at the trade deadline. Jensen's situation in that regard is no different than Makar's last season with Colorado

We should probably do that then.

I'd never heard of them before, but yeah, i did see some people in the thread say similar.

You are quite welcome

 

[nyr2k2]

I don't think Jensen has any intention of signing here.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I don't think Jensen has any intention of signing here.

Even if he did, he would have to negotiate a contract termination with Jokerit. We cannot sign him as he is under contract in a league without a transfer agreement.

 

[Thirty One]

I don't think Jensen has any intention of signing here.

Why do you think that a player who left North American hockey won't want to return for quarantining with a bunch of strangers for 1-8 weeks of hockey?

 

[Avery16]

I dunno...least commitment possible for a chance to win the Stanley Cup and set yourself up for a big payday?

It's irrelevant. He can't sign with us

 

[wafflepadsave]

Can’t believe the Rangers don’t like Gross. Every time I watched him , I was impressed.

You’ve just been Mulletman’d.

F. I don't know that i'll ever recover
