Confirmed Trade: [COL/NYR] Ryan Lindgren (50% retained), Jimmy Vesey, Hank Kempf, for Juuso Parssinen, Calvin de Haan, 2025 2nd round pick, 2025 4th round pick

[SnowblindNYR]

It's hard to overstate how much ruin Chris Drury has brought to the New York Rangers

And this trade shows that how?

 

[nyrage]

Stop it, you're giving me hope


Please, if they put him next to Cale Makar it's going to be the most deliberate effort to sabotage Makar's Norris chances in history

He also said that Kratsov would be the best player in the NHL, so take that fwiw

Im underwhelmed but the most valuable piece in the trade was a late 2nd so meh

Wont be a late 2nd. Closer to middle.

I don't have a dog in this fight but this looks like a trade where both teams lose.

The Rangers traded two players they wouldn't have on the team next year plus a C-level prospect they may not have even signed, plus a little over $2M, for a second and a fourth. If the deal was literally just $2M for a 2 and a 4, I'd be happy with that as a Rangers fan as the cap space is meaningless right now and we need to replenish our picks.

If Parissinen became something that would just be a bonus.

Closer to early if we don't win more games. We're currently 13th worst.

Connor Murphy is still available as a righty depth D. Holy mother

and Seth Jones..my guess is this trade take Avs out of market for both

 

[TheBeard]

I like Lindgren but his value is primarily his name. He's regressed.

Colorado dealt a 3rd for him
Hes a bonus for sure but it could pay off

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Why in the world would the Avs want Lindgren? Reminds me of a poor man’s Josh Gorges.

Absolutely. I'm just framing it as, the Rangers got two picks for a relatively small amount of money. That itself is a win (as they other guy said both teams lost here). There are other ways this could work out well for NYR but just the picks part is a good deal.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I thought Rangers fans liked Lindgren ?

There is literally not one person on the Rangers board that likes him. Maybe you're thinking of Facebook where they have a collective IQ of 0.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Acquiring CdH and Parsinnen is subtraction by addition.

But the Rags got cap space and two draft picks so they're the big winner.

CDH and Parsinnen combined earn less than Vesey. Even if neither player sees the ice once, this trade still favors the Rangers. Cap savings + avoiding giving Lindgren and extension + the picks tilts this in the Rangers direction.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Does lindgren still block shots and play in front of his net?

Ryan?

Hardly impressive.

4 letters yet has the audacity to be 2 syllables.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Rangers will do everything except fire Laviolette eh?

They should fire Laviolette but they needed to trade Lindgren. I don't know what one has to do with the other.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

He's cooked. Lot of miles on his tires. It's not a head thing. It's not a heart thing. It's an everything else thing.

What does that mean?

 

[TheBeard]

Ryan?

Hardly impressive.

4 letters yet has the audacity to be 2 syllables.

Now you got me thinking, is it possible to have three syllables in a 4 letter name?

 

[a mangy Meowth]

This seems like a very lateral move. Glad to not have to watch more De Haan though

 

[Tawnos]

No matter what Lindgren’s analytics say, there are always going to be NHL GMs out there who put value on D who play a gritty game and give 100% every shift.

He stopped being a decent partner for a top defensemen after all the injuries, but the Rangers have never really given him a serious look in a lesser role the last couple of years. It’ll be really interesting to see how he does in better suited minutes.

Yes. That's why everyone, including the post you quoted, is saying the Rangers are the big winner.

 

[2028 7th]

Literally built a career off being carried by Adam Fox. Arguably one of the worst defensemen in the league.

A steady diet of chickpea pasta will unlock his talent.

It should be. It’s not a name, but acai has 3 syllables.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Yes. That's why everyone, including the post you quoted, is saying the Rangers are the big winner.
