Thread: Future Powerplay and draftpick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>If for some reason we win the lottery and have our choice, I take Catton. Silayev is tempting as well though, big shut down D that can skate are hard to come by. Around #15 though there are some interesting players. MBN w would be a top choice for me. Connolly and Greentree wouldn't be bad either.</div></div>

Connelly is my first choice, but its because I want the PP to have a righthanded shot on the leftside and a lefthanded shot on the rightside. If they are not going with that PP setup then Brandsegg-Nygaard is my pick if Mazur is projected as a righthanded LW. I was very high on Jiricek, but I dont know where he is at after only playing 19 gm. They should take Silayev if he slips to 15

Thread: Top4 RD targets for next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Remember when Winnipeg sold Trouba to NYR, it came down to two teams, Rangers and Red Wings. And most assumed Detroit at the time.

I think Trouba is as locked into his team as anyone. Doubt he moves anywhere.</div></div>

Yzerman took over in 2019 and Trouba was traded that summer to NY. It wasn’t a fit for either Redwings or Trouba at the time. In 2024 there will be a fit for both player and the team.

Next year, Rangers need to hand out raises to Lindgren, Kakko and Schneider (potentially Laffy as well). Even if the cap goes up by 4M, they need to replace 800k Wheeler and fill out the bottom6 and bottomD. I think both teams and the player can help each other out.

You’re right, Trouba can stop this in 2024 by adding Detroit to his no-trade list

Thread: Top4 RD targets for next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GoofyFoFoofy</b></div><div>Rangers aren't interested in trading him away for free with retention while their cup window is open. If you want him for free you can have him, if you want retention you'll either have to pay, or depending on the market for him the Rangers would rather add picks than retain. Hard to tell what his actual demand would even look like. And this is assuming he waives his NMC, which he probably won't.</div></div>

Lindgren, Kakko and Schneider are all going to need raises next year. Trouba is the odd man out. Next year, Detroit is probably the only team on Trouba 15 trade list that can afford his caphit without 50% retention. The best deal for the Rangers is Trouba 8M for Fabbri 1y left at 4M. You can buy him out and save 7M in cap

Thread: Top4 RD targets for next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>Trouba is physical but he isn't defensively elite, or even close to as good as his cap hit. Ceci isn't either. Andersson and Brodie are two elite defensive RD that might be available.</div></div>

The rule is defenseman should be 6’2 or taller. Andersson is 6’0 and Brodie is 6’1. Brodie is also left handed and Andersson probably cost 1st+2nd+prospect. Not worth it for a rebuilding team imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dtd_tank</b></div><div>Why not sign Matt Roy? He'll be 29 and is from MI so he might want to come here once he's a FA.</div></div>

Roy is the best option. He is better defensively, but I can’t see Yzerman targeting him. Apparently they need to be 6’2 or taller. He also playing for a pretty good team as well, can’t see him leaving LA

Thread: Steve Yzerman has completely lost his mind
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Sprong and Kubalik both droped over 20 goals and 40 points last year. Trust, this bottom 6 could be solid.

I actually don't mind any of these signings.

Holl 3 x 3.4m is solid.
Sprong 1 x 2m is very good.
Kostin 2 x 2m is on the steep side, but he is BIG and did well in Edmonton.
Compher 5 x 5.1m isn't crazy. He is a low end top 6 or high end top 9 guy. Considering he is a centre, this is what he would cost. He is a very very good #3C, who can play in the top 6 if needed.
Reimer and Lyon are both on great contracts.

Just be patient to see what he does to finish off. He is building for the super long term. He put in some decent pieces today. But the offseason is not done.</div></div>

I originally targeted Mayfield, Killorn, Oreilly, Fischer and Korpisalo/Varlamov. I was even considering Engvall, but look at those deals.

Killorn (34) 6,25Mx4
Oreilly (32) 4,5Mx4
Mayfield (31) 3,5Mx7
Korpisalo (29) 4Mx5
Varlamov (35) 2,75Mx4
Engvall (27) 3Mx7

I would’ve gone Killorn 2y, Oreilly 2y, Mayfield 4y, korpisalo/Varlamov 2y and Engvall 2y.

I think it’s a successful season if they can finish between 13 and 16.
