Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XLV

[Alluckks]

Guys. I have not heard anything concrete about Guhle from legit sources. It is what I expect to happen. But the pirate talk is entirely another thing - which I have heard.

Nobody understands what the pirate thing means lol it is way too vague

And you liking Guhle is no surprise, you've always been all about that grit haha

 

[duhmetreE]

If we dont win the lotto, Rossi will fall to us. Short players always fall but he's built like a fire hydrant

Has anyone been able to crack the code on this “pirate talk” yet?

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

I hope so. Offense seems to be the only knock on this kid from what I've read.

Then please explain. Bc from what im reading,
he plays against men (check)
He isnt a high upside player 2nd/3rd line center (check)
Hard working, goes to the dirty areas, plays a 200ft game (check, check, check)

But Lundell is bigger, a better skater, a better passer, a better puck carrier, and sees the ice better than Lias.
The big difference between him and Andersson was that Andersson was more of a grindy in your face type of a player and Lundell is like that complete opposite of a flashy player, everything he does he just makes looks efficient, though I will say he could stand to assert himself more and that's where a good amount of projecting him can come from, but I think his upside can be a 1C and if he doesn't quite hit those offensive heights, I still see him being like a Stepan (while he was here) level player

You forgot to add his foot speed, he’s slow

Eh, I don't think he's much worse of a skater than like, a Kakko, if at all

For what it’s worth, BBKers liked my take on it and no one else’s. I’ll let you guys find that post yourselves.

It’s gotta be Staal I think

Pirates Anthem... Home T... Home Team.

Whether bought out or retired, Lundqvist is playing for Frolunda next year.

for everyone too lazy to do that

Boooo

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Boooo

I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't gone back to look at BBKers recent activities on his profile to find out why everyone was talking about pirates to begin with a few minutes before you posted that

Fair enough.

I can’t imagine the salary in Sweden is very much compared to his NHL deal... a couple of hundred thousand, tax free? Versus probably $1.8m in take home staying in NY.

HOWEVER, I wonder what the endorsement opportunities look like in Sweden for a hero coming home. I bet he can make back the difference pretty easily.

Yeah, I kind of wouldn't be shocked if he decided to do that. But right now I have a hard time believing he's going to do that, nice story line aside, aren't training camps over there like, about to start?

 

[Edge]

Guhle is a name I have not heard come up. So that's news to me.

Which names, if any, have you heard come up?

 

[Kovalev27]

Lundell is the guy a lot of people wished based on zero talent that lias Andersson would have been

he’d be a great fit

 

[Fitzy]

Definitely going to try to catch a lot of Frolunda games if Hank is there next year.

 

[Rangers394]

What does Guhle project to be and how early should he be picked? Quick research on him says a good skating two way dman who knows how to use his size but is there anything else to know? LH too so that's a positive.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

for everyone too lazy to do that

Ha thanks @GeorgeKaplan

Please god let us get the #1 pick and Lundqvist retire.

That 8.5m off the cap would be MASSIVE in so many ways

From what ive read he is a offensive dman who like to hit but is not sound defensively or positionaly.

Not what i want or what we need more of on this team.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

So we’ll get pick 9,10 or 11, huh?

Ok so time to start looking at players ranked in the late teens/early 20s as who they’ll probably end up picking there.

The thing is that those qualities about Anderson weren’t really his problem. Honestly the biggest thing holding Anderson back is his speed/acceleration in his skating.

If Lias could skate like Chytil he would be a no doubt imagine top 6 center in the NHL. Good skills, good shot, smart player with good IQ who plays a 200 ft game.

Or the #1 pick.

Well i hope they are looking at players there too bc we will have one of carolina or torontos pick which should be there

What is the pirate talk?

Look at T

Look at GeorgeKaplans post on this page.

So a dman who isn't good at defense but can hit? Sounds like a NYR draft pick waiting to happen

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Look at T


Look at GeorgeKaplans post on this page.

Ah okay just saw.

So question for anyone who knows, if Hank retires from the NHL and goes to play in the SHL for Frolunda, does his HoF eligibility start when he retires from the NHL or does it not start until he then retires from the SHL?
