Speculation: Roster Building Thread XXXIV: Walk the line into the ring of fire

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Either something is up or the Rangers are trolling us.

Per Sam, Lundy worked out hard today on the ice and after, and he and quinn felt the team would be better served with georgiev backing up given the magnitude of the game.

That is ridiculous, when Henke has been used as the superbackup for weeks now. Continued gradual phase out of Henke...

Not really. Henrik has always been a rythm goaltender, and he hasn't played in weeks.

KZB line is just so terrific with insane chemistry don’t want to see them broken up

It’s a really fake excuse.

What does that have to do with this? The guy has been dressing as a backup for weeks and hasn't been playing at all and they clearly have no intentions to play him. they literally just sat him in a three-game in four-night stretch. He's been made a glorified backup and now they're taking away his backup status. It's a phase-out

Will they have that on year 4-5-6-7 of Kreiders contract?

I know how you feel about it and that’s fine. I respect your opinion.

The price would be big, but boy I'd love to get Slavin out of Carolina...

Yeah it would be beyond big. Along the lines of multiple firsts and top prospect and roster player. Something we should not pay. Just need to continue to draft well and hope one of our LHD prospects become special like him.

What on earth is Lemieux still doing on the powerplay over guys like Chytil and Gauthier

Showcasing?

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Showcasing?

I doubt they are looking to trade Lemieux.

 

[Edge]

Et tu, @Edge ???

I can’t help it. He’s convincing, without being a douche about it.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

It’s a really fake excuse.

Both Cygalis and Sam said Lundy was involved in the decision.

Was being facetious.

 

[DutchShamrock]

I do not believe they have given permission to talk extension with other teams as of this post.

So this topic has been rattling around my head in general. I would guess that in this particular case permission hasn't been granted because we are still negotiating.

But is it possible a team prevented discussions to hide the fact the player is asking for crazy money, which could potentially hurt his value since it's obvious teams wouldn't be able to re-sign him?


And I have a feeling Chris is asking for a lot. All you need is a team with decent cap next season that is banking on the TV money rolling in the following year. Hot seat GMs in particular will be making waves to just save their jobs.

The gift of age.

The wisdom was bound to reach sufficient enough levels after a few centuries

 

[bl02]

If they win tomorrow against San Jose no way this team is trading Strome/Fast or even Georgiev. I'm not saying that's the right thing I'm just saying JG is not gonna throw this playoff push away.
Kreider probably 50/50

 

[bobbop]

I should post more often - you guys posted some gems off my inquiry.

@drewcon40 Good to see you back here!

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

I hope we don't go with the ol' "Let's Treat Them as Rentals" mindset where we keep these guys for the playoff run and then be unable to afford them in the summer.

Thank you bobbop - I lurk here and there but it's been busy.

PAY THE MAN

I don't think Becky Lynch is hurting for money
