Speculation: The Roster Building Thread - To the deadline and beyond!

[hurricure]

I strongly disagree that Raddysh is a high quality prospect. His name sounds like radish and there's no way a guy named radish ever becomes a good player.

Cant argue with that logic

What could we offer New York for Michael Grabner? Seems a decent fit as a rental, at worst.

Saw that supposedly their asking price was a 1st rounder. If that's the cost I will pass.

 

[Hulkacaniac]

We've already got our own grabner playing in the minors. His name is warren foegele.

2. Trade that might make sense only to me: something around Justin Faulk from Carolina to Detroit for Andreas Athanasiou.

Yep, it makes sense only to you Frieds.

Occasionally he throws one of those out there. Don’t think I’ve seen it come true yet.

 

[CandyCanes]

AA is overrated in my opinion. He's a questionable top 6 player, more so a solid 3rd line guy. He just gets so much hype and attention because he's so damn fast.

 

[GoldiFox]

From my views AA is a much more talented Stalberg. Stalberg played great in this system.

Faulk for AA probably (sadly) is close if you are talking vacuum 2017-18 Faulk value. I'd be pretty disappointed if they moved Faulk at his low though. Adam Larsson is in the same range and he got Taylor Hall.

8. There were some rumblings about Ryan O’Reilly, but those were shot down by multiple sources. GM Jason Botterill witnessed Pittsburgh overpower teams down the middle, and if the Sabres lose O’Reilly they do not have an in-house replacement. And when uberprospect Casey Mittelstadt is ready, isn’t he better off with both O’Reilly and Jack Eichel there?

I said Raddysh, not Turnyp.

Something about parade grumble, grumble, grumble....and rain.

I'm tired of this team.. I'm tired of the lack of leadership. Trade Faulk for RNH. Trade Staal for ROR. Sign one of Neal, Van Riemsdyk or Perron.. Get a freaking goalie..trade your 1st if you have to...get rid of Darling.

Aho ROR TT
Neal/VR/Perron RNH Williams
Skinner Rask Lindholm
McGinn Ryan PDG

Slavin Pesce
Hanifin vanRiemsdyk
Fleury Dahlbeck/McKeown

Actual good goalie
Ward

 

[Primetime8]

ROR isn't coming without either our 1st rounder or Necas going the other way to Buffalo.

 

[Stickpucker]

I would gladly trade a 2nd + ? + Darling to get Lehner.

If we could somehow acquire a shoot first forward that might put us bubble in.

 

[Primetime8]

I wish they would slot Lindholm at 2C. BP needs to yell at him, tell himto step up, hit some people, and score goals, and be the key to making the playoffs. Slot him between Skinner and Williams and see how it works.

It's crazy to me how he is younger than Mantha but is looked at as a 3rd liner with no potential left here while Mantha is a first liner looked at like a potential 40 goal scorer in Detroit.

Mantha went 17/19/36 in 12 less games last year than Lindholm last year, Lindholm went 11/34/45
Manths is 16/14/30 this year and Lindholm is 15/14/29.

 

[StiffSquid]

Panic trades ftw. Go ahead Ronnie. I'd like to see what we have in Charlotte. Move Skinner and Faulk for Puljujärvi and RNH in the summer , or something. Or do it now.

Aho-RNH-Pulju
TT-Staal-Lindholm
Saarela-Rask-Williams
Mcginn-Ryan-Foegele

Horrible now , better in a few years

 

[NotOpie]

I think Buffalo actually wants defense in return, preferably either a young NHL RHD or an NHL ready RHD prospect (both of the Top 4 variety).

Lindholm is an RFA with arbitration rights after this year, meaning we're going to probably have to pay him around $5 million per to keep him around. We're either going to have to commit to him or trade him. I'd just as soon see what we can get for him, but I know we'll overpay, thinking he'll eventually break out.

Boone Jenner is available.

 

[spockBokk]

Man, browsing other team's boards can be entertaining sometimes and sometimes baffling. Take this nugget from the NYR board:

Lundquist
McDonagh
Nash @50%

for

Darling
Hanifin
Necas
2018 1st
2019 1st

Where do we sign?

 

[GoldiFox]

Boone Jenner is available.

Obviously Jenner is having a terrible year (5/8/13 in 46 GP) but stylistically I love his game. Unfortunately Columbus will be looking for a roster player who can provide scoring. Not sure what the Canes can offer unless there is a bridge between Jenner++ for Skinner. He also isn't the type of "Playmaking" Center that Peters said he is looking for.

Replace Necas with any other prospect and I'd do that deal. Could even remove Nash. Not that Lundqvist would ever wave to come to Carolina.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

henrik is 36 in march, and the cracks are starting to show. plus he got blown the f out by boston last night...probably has something to do with it.

Boone is shooting at 4.4%, not even close to his statistical norm, off year like Skinner, he’s had 30g seasons before, and Torts ain’t the easiest to play for.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Yeah, that's 1/3rd of a season of Nash, 1+1/3rd season of McDonagh, and 3+1/3rd seasons of 36 year old Hank at $8.5M...for Hanifin, Necas, two 1sts (and there's no guarantee they won't be lottery picks), and a 2nd? I wouldn't touch that.

Yeah, maybe if it was 2013.
