JD's Rangers' Off-Season

[Johnnydollaz89]

Okay, the off-season is upon us. So here are my thoughts on what i'd like to see going into next season.

1. Richards will be bought out, hate to say it since I love him, but it's only inevitable.
2. Re-sign Zucc, Stralsy, Brassard, Kreider, Boyle, Moore, Carcillo, J Moore and maybe Pouliot.
3. Trade Derek Dorsett, to anybody, just don't want him on the roster at all next year.
4. As for guys to be re-signed and contracts, here we go.
5. Let Falk and Diaz walk.

Zucc- 4 years at 3.25M per
Brassard- 3 years at 3.5M per
Kreider- 4 years at 3M per
Boyle- 3 years at 2.25M per
Moore- 2 years at 2M per
J Moore- 3 years at 2.25M per

With the freed up cap space, we need to try and add Paul Stastny to be our number 1 Center. Going into next season, a lineup like this, would be very successful

Nash-Stastny-Kreider
Hags-Stepan-MSL
Pouliot/Kristo/Miller-Brassard-Zucc
Boyle-Moore-Carcillo

Mac-Giradi
Staal-Stralman
Moore-Klein

Isn't Stastny kind of expensive tho?

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

He'll be worth it, only 28-years old, i'd give him 6M+

I agree, could work out well if they sign other UFA's for the right price, which they realistically could, especially if they buyout Brad Richards like you have suggested.

I think Diaz when he was in proved he should be playing which means either J Moore or Klein or both can be moved.

My ideal would be to buy out Richards bring in Sedins and ship out Nash. It might take multiple teams to do it. Also add a bigger winger an Oshie type.

Sather has shown he is good in the trade market in the past so maybe he can revive some of that.

I would also like to trade for Patrik Berglund. He plays in too much of a defensive system in STL and I think he could shine in AV system. He is a restricted FA and his rights could be secured for probably a second rounder.

I think you need to keep the Zucc Brassard Pouliot line together.
