Montano:

“People have to get over the 2nd round pick. You have to get over it. It’s… it’s not even Colorado’s own 2nd round pick. It was the Rangers’ own 2nd round pick anyways.”

Omg, you're telling me it was theirs all along?!

Kivranta has been fine. We might want to test vesey out though. Would be nice to have him next season if kivi gets a good deal elsehwere.

I will talk about him only when it becomes absolutely necessary and no sooner

Well, unless he’s included in another trade, we didn’t get Vesey to have him healthy scratch did we? There is gotta be more moves. Maybe Wood is included in a trade and Vesey takes his spot or something like that

Oh I'm just messing with ya lol. I think he'll play. I mean shit, I bet Bednar will put him on the 3rd line for some reason

We have, he sucks and shouldn't see any ice time unless we get really injured

Yeah but who does he replace? Wood or Kivi? Can’t be LOC. Kivi does have 11 goals, Wood only has 2 goals and 4 points. It’s gotta be Wood

Vesey is a typical 4th liner. Fits that role better than Parssinen, even though his skill is limited.

Trade Wood

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

I think those cards just use random numbers. Like, how do you get 0% for Lindgrin at 5x5 when he as a 50% HDCF%?

They attempt to do some level of player isolation and Fox is just that good. Lindgren tanks without him while Fox becomes Lidstrom with anyone else

One of the worst skaters in the league. Bednar is gonna hate him more than Parsnip

 

[The Moops]

Fun fact: the 4th in the Lindgren deal was acquired by trading Brännström weeks after signing him for free.

And the 2nd was the 2nd rounder received for trading down to be pick Nabokov who most of the board are happy with currently.

So for all those saying it was terrible asset management, maybe remember that CMac generated those picks in the first place through decent asset management.

Whatever you say Joe

He replaces Parsnip up in the booth eating nachos with Moser and Ryker.

 

[Metallo]

I'm worried with all the "fallen off a cliff" and "broken body" reports. I like the fact that he is an heart-and-soul player, we need more of that. I'll reserve judgement after I have watched him play a few games with us. If he's a good #5/PKer/playoff warrior for us then I would be fine with the trade.

 

[Valushkin]

Vesey is better than Wood. It’s an easy choice. Vesey is in, Wood is gone in a trade because we all know CMac is not done trading yet. That will also clear up cap space

I hear his nacho eating game puts Parsnips to shame

 

[PAZ]

The only way i'll be semi okay with this trade is if we get Jones coming back and Manson is going the other way/out for the season. If that's the case, Lindgren can still replace Manson's PK and defensive zone starts and Jones gets everything else.

 

[Balthazar]

Vesey is better than Wood.

 

[Valushkin]

I mean what is Wood doing out there other than taking stupid penalties? At very least, Vesey for Wood is a wash and we save cap space

He'll be on the bench until there is an injury, then I'm sure he'll get a look, but promptly be waived. He's not better than anyone on the roster.

It's a warm body to balance contracts.

 

[Mooserton]

Isn’t this one of the two shit rags that concussed Donskoi and Kadri ragdolled him?

Vesey is one of the worst skaters in the league. I’d actually like the trade better if he wasn’t in it.

Avalanche banking on Ryan Lindgren finding his game again in lesser role | Evan's take

Ryan Lindgren's game has taken a step back the past two seasons. The Avalanche are hoping a lesser role will help him turn things around.

How much Lindgren was benefiting from playing with one of the best defensemen in the NHL is something we'll find out soon enough. He's spent so much time playing with Fox that the sample size of him with other defensemen isn't very large, but the numbers aren't encouraging. With Lindgren and Fox together, the Rangers had an expected goals-for percentage of 50.33%. When Lindgren was on the ice with any other defensemen, that number dipped down to 41.92%. The flip side of that is that Fox, away from Lindgren, saw his expected goals-for percentage jump to 63.45%.
