thejazz97 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Since we got knocked for not making our list of players available more visible to any team last time around, we have the following players available: DAVID SAVARD - PENDING UFA, $3M, 3.08 FP/G, COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS DEFENSEMAN MICHAEL DEL ZOTTO - PENDING UFA, $4.5M, 3.72 FP/G, VANCOUVER CANUCKS DEFENSEMAN We'd like to move one of these two, and need ~2m of space, or at least $1.5m. That being said, we won't move either until we've found a deal we like. Savard is on a playoff team, while we believe that MDZ will be playoff bait. Both put up good numbers for this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Master Mind Posted July 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2018 With the Rangers likely done with offseason moves, coach Alain Vigneault answered some media questions. Reporter: With the Sedins retired, who's going to fill the leadership holes? AV: You don't simply replace leaders like that - they're the 2 best players I've ever coached - but we'll be giving the captaincy to Evgeny Kuznetsov. He was incredible in the playoffs, and has been here longer than anyone else. Captain Kuzy has a nice ring to it. R: Speaking of playoffs, it was another disappointing 2nd round finish, but does it help knowing you lost to the eventual champs? AV: No, %@#$ Columbus, next question. R: How do you feel about the Rangers' draft? AV: The best draft we've ever had, we actually had some picks! Kaut and Noel will eventually be top 6 players I feel. Thrilled to have some promising prospects. R: What about free agent signing Ilya Kovalchuk? AV: Getting Kovalchuk is huge. He'll play with Malks and Kuzy to form one heck of a Russian trio. Putin would be proud. R: And the other signings? AV: Byron is a great 3rd line C, and between him and Kovy, they should replace the offence lost by the Sedins. Halak will make for a great backup to Raanta, and can show him the ropes on being a starter. R: What's the expectation of the team? AV: To go deep into the playoffs so that I don't get fired. R: Thanks for your time coach. Here are the projected lines for the 2018-19 New York Rangers: Kovalchuk - Malkin - Kuznetsov [C] Granlund - Giroux - Johnson Foligno [A] - Byron - Connolly Caggiula - Beagle - Karlsson Hansen Ellis - Brodin [A] Edmondson - Schmidt Kulikov - Folin Pelech - DeMelo Raanta Halak 1 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 New Lightning GM wallstreetamigo held an impromptu press conference this morning to discuss several topics. Q - What is the reasoning behind the GM role reversal and what does it mean for Tampa? WSA - "In reality, very little has changed. HV and I will continue to work together to bring a cup to Tampa. As you might remember, HV stepped up when I needed to take a step back. Its a similar situation now and the change at this point is simply a reflection of the team-oriented approach we have in Tampa management." Q - This has been a quiet offseason despite significant cap space at your disposal. Tampa made no signings in free agency and rumblings have been coming out of the Toronto media questioning the commitment to win. What do you say to those people? WSA - "Well, first of all, we are all commited to winning no matter the cost so those TO guys dont know what they are talking about. We simply did not feel there was anyone in free agency that was going to fill our most pressing needs. Thats not a knock on any player though. Its just an indication that what we need organizationally really wasnt out there." Q - So, why hoard all that cap space? WSA - "In regards to cap space and lack of signings, I think our restraint in free agency puts us in a great position, dont you? It enables us to give our good young players a chance to earn spots and to potentially take advantage of other teams cap troubles as the summer goes on. I think some good players will be available and Tampa will be looking to strategically upgrade. Sometimes the moves you dont make are the best ones. I also think convincing a player like Jan Kovar to come over to North America could help fill a hole at center, and on a bargain contract. Those kind of investments in non traditional free agents can certainly help us." Q - What is on your wish list at this point and is anyone on the trade block? WSA - "Ideally we would like to add a top line forward, preferably a center, and a top pairing defender to the fold. Those are really my big ticket items. Both are generally tough to come by on the trade market but we are willing to get creative to make deals happen. If there are cap situations that we can take on to lower the overall cost of acquiring those pieces we will certainly look at it." Q - So is anyone on the block? WSA - "We have received varying degrees of interest on several players but nothing is imminent. No one and everyone is on the block if that makes sense. We will look at any deal that makes us better. We obviously do have a lot of nhl and prospect depth at defense so I anticipate a few moves to upgrade at the forward position from that depth." Q - What direction will the franchise be taking going forward, going for it, rebuild, etc.? WSA - "That is definitely something we are going to continually reassess in an ultra-competitive league like PUCK. At this point we feel like we are a competitive team with a relatively young core group but we still have some holes to fill. So a lot will depend on what we see going on around us with other teams too. I dont think a fire sale rebuild is anywhere on the radar for us but we are definitely going to need to retool a bit here to take the next step. We definitely want to look at bolstering the top end of our roster through picks or deals." 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
