Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXIX

I hate his lazy ass style of play and he’s also notoriously a douche off the ice.

Not that hard to see why people don’t like him lol

I've heard that he's a solid guy. Dunno where that info is coming from.

@Loki Dog 74 apparently knows a guy who knows a guy who knows him (not trying to be an asshole lol). Apologies if it's someone else.

Maybe he was a douche, but he's approaching 30 and people usually grow up before then.

Gaudette at best is a Pejorative Slured Strome that doesn't even play wing. Sick healing crystals though, I'd be friends with him.

 

[effen]

Great passing and facilitating is not really vanilla. The Bruins had a cornerstone 2C for years that played a very similar style name David Krejci. The second Strome is gone and his replacement can’t playmake the way he can we will probably all realize how badly we underrated him.

He doesn't have great passing or facilitating though. He was really great chemistry with a top 5 forward in the league and extremely good offensive instincts and IQ but his individual skills are a tick above average other than a below average shot.

Krejci played defense and was better across the board. They're only comparable in that they're pass first Cs who don't truck anyone. Strome will be missed because empty calories still get you some Ws in the regular season and the team is bereft of top 6 centers.

Sure, I'll buy it.

I think we all have differences of opinion on what constitutes a douche, but I've not had any instances I can think of where Loki and I had some sort of fundamental disagreement.

It’s Pageau by self-affirmation

 

[rangers1314]

So now NYR have 2 games to make up

 

[Riche16]

the day Brad Marchand gets permanent damage and can never play hockey again, drinks on me guys.

I'll get the 2nd round

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Back to the Panrain $5K fine. Gallagher sucker punched a Ranger and only got $2500. Seems a bit disproportionate.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Ridiculous. They should be forced to call up players or forfeit the game

 

[Tob]

We're the real victims.

 

[duhmetreE]

called that shit.

No home games? Sorry we can't play anymore

 

[RangersFan1994]

Ridiculous. They should be forced to call up players or forfeit the game

The NHL should consider this. Forfeit the game is a bit much, but they should be forced call the players from the AHL up

 

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

Ridiculous. They should be forced to call up players or forfeit the game

Or at the very least, the players that are injured should be ineligible to play in the make up games.

 

[Tob]

called that shit.

Islander fans saying they only cancelled for other teams' home games. Everyone strumming their own strings.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Strome is empty calories as a player. I don't see why that's controversial or confusing that people don't like that.


I like marshmallows. I don't like them as a cornerstone of a meal. Both can be true.

this should be pinned on top of this board.

 

[Riche16]

Coming up on 2 yrs (& what? 5M plus dead) into this pandemic and still people don't take this virus seriously

The answer is NOT to expose more people to it lol

 

[Tob]

I'll settle for putting old man Lou in one of those old fashion hand and head wooden lock things and pushing him through the old coliseum parking lot while Rangers fans threw tomatoes at him

 

[Hire Sather]

So we're red hot now we have 5 days off and will have to make up 2 games at some point which will probably inconvience us

How many of these tested positive Islanders are unvaccinated?

Might be none. Honestly no idea.

Then fine but any players who are out of the game because of an injury should be ineligible to play in the make up games. It needs to be fair for the teams that are ready to play not just the teams that have to postpone a game

 

[Tob]

Also, I don't see how the logistics of the Olympics being what they are will allow for NHL participation. 4 outbreaks, 2 cancellations. You can tell Gary was so conservative with only 2 game postponement that they really really didn't want to. I bet we'll have 1 outbreak and postponement per month going forward.

How about we play them whenever and kick their f***ing asses because our team is better?

 

[jay from jersey]

This is such a strange and popular take for a player with 155 points in 205 games for the Rangers.

I cannot in all my years as a fan think of a player that prolific who got more hatred. Maybe Poti??

It's one thing to talk about not being able to sign him, his fit, his flaws etc. But that some of you legitimately hate the player is super weird.

It’s a guarantee that next years team won’t feature strome and chytil. Likely either one or neither.
Solid possibility Rooney prices himself out as well.
I’m 100% positive well have Zibby and Barron as 1and 3 centers respectively, goodrow here, who can play it in a pinch.
But beyond that, nothing concrete. Odds are strome prices himself out of here, and if chytil doesn’t take a large step in consistent play, he’s likely packaged for the new 2C coming in.
I don’t think drury would go with 2 rookies as 3/4 C so odds are we bring in a vet that makes about mill to mill n a half if Richards doesn’t blow the doors off.
Drury has to be very smart and cagey about our 2C position, because we’re quickly running out of cap space
