Sorry found the off season thread Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

2 things: where the off season thread that discusses Buch for Horvat and secondly Goodrow had a 50% face-off win percentage in the regular season, 52.4 % for his career even though his play-off win percentage was 40. We have to get to the play-offs before we can even worry about play-off percentages, besides we are really getting him for his physical play not his face-off percentage( 111 hits regular season, 68 in 18 play-off games).

Only means we have to add a prospect or a pick to get the deal done. Would you deal the second coming of Erik Karlsson( Niks Lundkvist ) & Strome for Norris, Watson & Ridly Grieg. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

There’s been talk of our interest in bring back Staal. So I’m guessing Staal if he indeed comes back— not that he’s getting big minutes but he would be a leader. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

According to capfriendly Werenski actual salary next year is 7 mil.—he signed a 3 yr/15 mil. contract last yr, the break down is 4/4/7 mil. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Montreal’s 4th line of Staal, Perry, Armia has looked really good in the play-offs. All 3 are over 6’3”. As a line 8 goals, 15 assist. 23 pts in 13 games. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Here’s something I caught on blueshirts forever, Anthony Scultore: Up until his suspension, Scheifele had five points in five playoff games. He has 3 years left on a deal that pays $6.125 million per season. So why am I bringing up Scheifele? Well that’s because Larry Brooks randomly inserted his name into the rumor mill with his latest Slap Shots column. Though it goes without saying, it will be said anyway: If Mark Scheifele somehow becomes available out of Winnipeg, he is the player for whom the Rangers empty the cupboard, and the guy in Buffalo becomes Jack Who? NY Post While Brooks could be speculating, it’s also very possible that Scheifele’s name was whispered into his ear. Interesting, if nothing else. I will say this though, the Jets could view some of the Rangers defense prospects like Matthew Robertson, or Zac Jones as legit trade pieces. Maybe coupled with Ryan Strome, a deal could be made.

I don’t think anybody bites on Eichel. Do you want to be the GM who gives up a 1st, a player & a prospect for a guy who may never be the same, while paying 10 mil. per. If it’s me, I won’t take the chance of making the deal and looking like a fool if he doesn’t bounce back. This is the kind of deal that will make your career or end it. Meanwhile for Adams it’s a win win, if he deals Eichel, he’s saving the company 10 mil per and getting back a 1st, a player & a prospect. Taking that 10 mil and signing another healthy player while all the while saying we can’t take the chance of keeping a disgruntled player who is injured and will bring the moraL down in the dressing room. And other the other hand he can say we need to keep one of the best players in the league. So Basically Buffalo is gonna have to hold on to him for 2 yrs. this year for him to heal and get healthy, whether he has the surgery or not. And next to prove that he’s healthy and raise his stock.

When it came to the New York Rangers, Button drafted USA National Development Program’s Chad Lucius. The 6-1 center scored 13 goals and 18 points in 12 games this season. Button compared him to a Brock Nelson type player. Lucius is another prospect who once was hyped as a potential top-five pick before falling to the middle of the first-round pack. Although he’s not your classic NTDP center in that he’s more of a natural goal scorer than a playmaker (13 goals and 7 assists in his injury-shortened season), Lucius also chips in at the faceoff dot and makes up for average speed with excellent balance and puck protection.

There’s a couple of mocks that have us taking Chaz Lucious Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Yeah, some may consider him a douche, he is said to talk a lot of shit, irritates his opponents and even skated by an opponents bench giving them all the middle finger. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Was looking a hockey fights, he’s had like 8 of them, didn’t win any but still had the balls to step up and fight. He’s only 5’11” but already weighs 200lbs. MacTavish is 6’1’ 196 lbs.—dad is Dale MacTavish, who’s coached in the league. He supposed to play a physical style as well.

Figures crossed! I would be poetic justice Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Mason MacTavish or Zachary L’Heureux would be my picks at 15th. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Watching the Minn. playoff series, it’s surprising to see that Dumba is only 6’0” tall, he seems to play bigger, mixing it up and everything. I wonder if we could get both Greenway & Dumba in a package. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

True, but if he does decide to sit out the remainder of his contract that he won’t be in the league for 3 yrs., that’s why I said if I’m Florida I’d want compensation. You want him so much offer me something for him Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

It’s irrelevant, but if I’m Florida I’d want compensation for Quennville, he’s got 3 yrs remaining on his contract. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Columbus, Seattle, Buffalo, Phoenix, us, Florida ( if the rumor is true that Quenniville wants out) and Carlolina ( if Brind’amour decides not to re-sign). Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Someone here said( I apologize I don’t remember who) in another forum Jordan Staal. He physical, great at draws and has like 2 yrs and 6 mil. per on his contract. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

I think Drury would have to have huge huge balls to hire an inexperienced coach. Especially with Dolan money to spend. If it’s me I would have a serious talk with Gallant about bringing 2 veteran coaches to help him run the team. Everyone knows he’s gonna want to bring in his boy Mike Kelly but Imagine a well experienced coaching staff with Boudreaux & Kevin Dineen behind the bench along with Gallant & Kelly. I would love to say Gallant, Boudreau, & Julien but ALL 3 are defensive coaches, Dineen is an offensive coach. I wouldn’t touch Hartley, Babcock or Torts, all have reps as being douches with their players. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

I liked this except from the same article mentioned above by twominutesfornothing: There are several qualities that make him an excellent coach. He is a brilliant communicator, and he has shown that he can work equally efficiently with veterans as well as with young players. Just look at what Hallam did with Elias Pettersson before the player left for Vancouver. There are observers who say that his teams play an overly academic or calculating style of hockey and, although there may be some truth to it, no one with the Lakers seems to care. The three championship titles in six years are solid proof of that. They are a team that relies on puck possession, opportunistic scoring and a suffocating defence. This was very visible in the finals. R?gle, which scored a league-high 164 goals during the regular season, got very few clean looks at goaltender Erik K?llstr?m in those five games. Speaking of opportunistic scoring, V?xj? had five sudden-death games in the playoffs and won all of them. Aside from Hallam’s qualities as a coach and his relationship with players, he is also an excellent ambassador for the club, well-spoken and articulate and he stays that way even after tough losses. ———- I Especially like the suffocating defense and very few clean looks at the goaltender part. True he’s a long shot but sounds good on paper. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

35 53 423 Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC · 4h Adams backs their expertise, feeling Eichel could avoid surgery. Confirms that Eichel and his reps have considered a different option (cervical disk replacement), but team is not comfortable with it because there is not a history of NHL players coming back from it. How bad is a cervical disk replacement ? Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Though it seems to be a minor injury: Sabres center Jack Eichel continues to rehab his neck injury and wait for a decision on whether or not to have surgery. TSN’s Darren Dreger reported in a recent appearance on WGR 550 that Eichel’s preference is to simply have the procedure, one that carries a six-week recovery time. That would give him plenty of time to rehab and be ready for training camp in the fall. We have to really do our homework with Eichel and neck injury. If he’s saying he wanted to have surgery then it must be serious enough that surgery was an option his doctors were entertaining.

If we can agree that the cost of trading for either of the Tkachuk brothers would cost the same as Eichel, then why not go after one of them instead. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

How does Eichel solve our lack of grit? Plus have you guys even looked at our cap and how he would fit. Take a look at Larry Brooks article from 05/10 titled: Rangers salary cap outlook after 1st deal of the off season. Buyout salaries, entry level contract bonuses, 6 restricted free agents etc...
