Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XLIX

[EdJovanovski]

do you have info on the part where DeAngelo is open to signing a cheaper long term contract?

He’s an RFA and we’re the team who gave him a chance after being moved twice at such a young age. He fits in really well with our room and I’m sure he’d take something like 5.75-6.5 long term. Also keep in mind the flat cap.. Trouba signed that deal when we were expecting the cap to go up

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Theres also a goalie named Clang projected to go in the 7th round.

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes a bit higher than that. He's considered by some as the 3rd best goalie in Europe behind Askarov and Blomqvist.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Do you think he's going to get more than Trouba got?

I don’t know what is in his head. It’s more about what he thinks he’s gonna get.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I don’t know what is in his head. It’s more about what he thinks he’s gonna get.

I don't think there's a chance he gets near 8M so he's definitely going to be cheaper. I'd imagine somewhere between 5.5-6M. Similar to what Barrie got when he was 24.

So who are this year's St. Croix, McColgan, Aaltonen, etc.? You know, the guys who at one point were projected to be top-15 picks, but didn't perform up to expectations.

You mean busts?

Pretty much Though Leevi may work out well

A couple players who were ranked pretty high early on:

Kasper Simontaival
Justin Barron
Antonio Stranges
Jean-Luc Foudy
Jaromir Pytlik
Connor McClennon
Theo Rochette

I remember when that poster was hyping up St. Croix like crazy. I'm ready for some of our hyped guys to pan out. Good thing we pick(ed) #1 and #2 the last two years!

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Three trade proposals and a lineup:

Henrik agrees to be a backup until the end of his contract (i.e. next year).
Marc Staal is bought out.
Jesper Fast walks.

1. Tony Deangelo and Brendan Smith to the Golden Knights for Paul Stastny, Peyton Krebs, and an unprotected first round pick in 2022.

2. Alex Georgiev and Ryan Strome to the Flames for Elias Lindholm

3. Pavel Buchnevich, Libor Hajek and Lias Andersson to the Oilers for Darnell Nurse and Jesse Puljujarvi


2020 Lineup:

Panarin-Zibanejad-Lindholm
Lafreniere-Stastny-Kakko
Kreider-Chytil-Kravtsov
Lemieux-Howden-Gauthier


Nurse-Trouba
Lindgren-Fox
Reunanen/K'Andre-van Riemsdyk (signed)


Igor
Henrik



Thoughts?

If you want my complete honesty, I hate every single one of these trades for the Rangers. Aside from the Lindholm one which CGY wouldn’t take.

 

[Fitzy]

That figure for anything longer than a 4 year deal would be an absolute steal.

 

[kovazub94]

The more I frame my thoughts by reading other posts and via responses I post (or just formulate them without posting), the more I come to conclusion that Gorton’s priorities should start with LD (1 or 2), and the most straight forward way is via moving ADA (one way or another).

Thanks, man

All those trades, and we still have Chytil as our 3rd line center. Crazy. That Oilers trade is just bad.

And as much as I like Stastny, I just don’t see the value in a return like that for TDA.

If I trade DeAngelo to Vegas, the return has to be Theodore (which is probably not happening)

Add Sean Day to that list as well. Rangers are notorious for taking those types of players

DeAngelo also has 3 RFA years left

I could see Stranges as a player the Rangers would target. Super skilled and great skater. Just a trainwreck when the pucks not on his stick

If they value skating, Dawson Mercer seems like a logical target. How likely is it the Rangers go with a player from the Q, though? Lafreniere is a given, but it's been 43 years

Day is due a breakout season after signing with TB.

I think not drafting from the Q is more noticed by the fans and is a coincidence from the team standpoint. I don’t think they care if its the BPA on their list...

I would chuckle though after all the jokes if we get a bunch of players from the Q

Hendrix Lapierre was considered a top 5 pick,

That would be absolutely ideal, but do you mean to tell me you wouldn’t consider a return of Glass plus other asset(s)?

It's a pretty strong year for the Q so I wouldn't mind.

Glass, Hauge and a 1st.

Thats about the lowest I'd go. 2 NHL ready bodies and a pick.

 

[duhmetreE]

IMO ADA will sign for 2 or 3 years. He'll get a big payday, assuming he keeps producing at this level, at 27 in UFA.
