Speculation: Roster building thread XXIV:

[Thirty One]

Ducks don’t like Russians

And...it better be a forward that has been cloned from Ryan Getzlaf . That is the type of forward this club needs and does not have yet . Those are the kind of guys that win Cups and unless you draft one...you will pay up to obtain one . Identify that type pf guy...even one that is 80% of the clone LOL....and it would be an awesome addition . I hedge though on trading Tony for a couple of seasons . I would love to see what he can do as this club gets better and he gets better .

DeAngelo doesnt get you a 20 year old Getzlaf, would be like trying to get Aho from Carolina for him.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If I'm moving DeAngelo its going to either be for a Necas level player or in a mega package for McDavid.

Other wise, I extend him and use prospects as capital to upgrade the roster.

In this regard, were going to have to rely on our crack scouting department.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

We have greater needs than spending 6 mill long term on a right side dman right now.

No we dont lol. Who Kreider? no thanks to giving him a contract till hes 34.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

hard disagree

Chytil is better than Zib at the same age

It's close IMO. I think Mika had more skill at the time but i'd give Chytil the skating edge at that age.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

yikes, respectfully I am not a fan either at the deadline

A proven Pavel B in the Conference for an unproven 148lb winger?
A proven Fast to a Division rival for a 3rd Round pick not even for 2020 but for 2021?

holding out for something better or keeping the players

This should never be part of why a trade shouldn't be made. Go with the best package, or you end up like Ottawa with Hoffman

Yet Chytil is playing wing. I think the org has given up on him at C.

edit: scroll down.

Who said Kreider? When Kreider, and one of Strome or Fast leave, who plays in the top 9?

Chytil is playing center.

If they’ve actually given up on him (which they clearly haven’t) then they’re f***ing idiots

Huh?

my bad. I forgot about the diaper line.

What?

*Edit* I saw your response. Definitely seems like the organization wants Chytil at center. Plus he's been buzzing lately, I think him and Kakko have looked really good together.

Strome and Fast can stick around and we get a winger to play in one of the Kreider/Geo trades.

We are already short 2 top 6 forwards and have an abundance of RD that will play at entry level money. I also doubt a team trading for Kreider is giving us a younger top 6 forward back for him.

I’m not sure this is true? Why do you feel this way? He’s been centering two kids in howden and Kakko and doing a fine job of it

Before the diaper line formed, he briefly shifted back to wing in favor of Strome. Brain fart on my part.

That lasted like all of 2 and a half seconds.

 

[NYR Viper]

I wonder what a guy like Athanasiou gets traded for in the offseason. He is having an okay year. His last co tract negotiation wasn’t great. If Gorton could, say, trade Fast for a 2nd + prospect and then in the offseason trade a 2nd + prospect for Athanasiou that would be a solid move. I don’t see AA returning more than that after his down year. He’d look good in a depth role and provide some speed on the wing.

 

[Minmonster]

Of course he has half his career points this season, it’s his full 2nd season in the league and he broke out incredibly. A 6 million contract for a 60+ point defenseman who can actually play somewhat ok defense at 24 years old is a great deal. Why, because there are only a handful of them in the entire league.

I'd at least like to see deangelos ceiling before even considering trading him. There's no reason to trade him now.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I still don't understand the fascination some people have with trading DeAngelo.

No the Salary isn't going to be enough to make it happen. They can fit him in as long as they aren't stupid and/or aren't afraid to find away to clear space by axing/demoting dead weight.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

It's ok. We have Kravstov coming up in a year, we aren't winning the cup this season anyway, no harm in another top 6-7 pick.

 

[Ola]

Brooks has his warts, but he's the local guy that breaks Rangers news. He's not a great writer, and doesn't appear to have an editor, but he does a good job of delineating his writing between what he's hearing and what he is guessing/advocating for.

We are really fortunate to have Brooks around.

I’ll get pissed at him like everyone else, but imagine the coverage this team would have had the last 1.5 decades without him.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Because he says offensive things so they don't like him. TRADE HIM HE OFFENDED ME!

Has nothing to do with anything like that, for me it's about building a team, using your strengths to trade for weaknesses and being smart with your cap space. If we had 6 top 6 RW and no RD I'd trade one to get one. We arent trading Trouba or Fox, deangelo is gonna get paid, I dont see him as a guy who leaves money on the table so for me it's about saving 6+ mill in cap space, playing a younger dman like Keane or Lundqvist on an entry level deal and using Fox in place of DeAngelo on the pp. If they can sign tony for 4 mill I'm all over it, I dont see that happening, so get some assets while his value is likely the highest it will be.
