Confirmed Trade: [DAL/NYR] Nils Lundkvist for 1st 2023 top 10 Protected + Cond. 2025 3rd

[Gurglesons]

Really nice work by NYR. Not sure why Dallas does this with Harley ready?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Rags are 100% using that pick to get Kane or something, What a joke that is by Dallas

What a joke that will be by us.

I want to pick the picks in 2023 xD

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Props to the Rangers.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I thought all 2023 1st round draft picks would be treated as gold in trades... Apparently not lol

 

[Kryten]

We don't have any cap space to take on a cap dump.

Well yall have a million to play with right now with a spare RD to carry maybe. Thats more than most of the league has in space atm

 

[herzausstein]

Congrats NYR

I guess dallas thinks he can replace klingberg longterm?

 

[Barnaby]

Better than the 27th ranked Montreal prospect I was told to expect.

I think it’s a good trade for both with a shot to be a big win for NYR depending who that pick ends up being.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Man that sucks for us Star Fans, maybe he can turn into another Klingberg for us

I don’t know much about him, so I don’t know what to expect

 

[peconcan]

Wow Rangers robbed them. Take notes Dubas

 

[Knies iT]

Rags got good value and win on paper but it's buying a long-term need for the Stars so don't think it's as bad as people are saying.

Who does DAL have on their right-side LT? Heiskanen is a lefty RD, and Harley/Bichsel/Lundell are LD.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Wow.. was not expecting NYR could get a 1st back for him... I didn't realize till recently the guy is already 22 years old.. I honestly just assumed he was still 20ish... But I guess it was in 2018 when he was drafted

I mean 22 is kinda 20ish... he's not 27.

I don’t know much about him, so I don’t know what to expect

He won't have the size. Don't know about Klingberg's speed or physicality (throwing hits). Nils was softish, ok speed, good agility. Should/can QB a PP. I think like best case, you're looking at slower/ less dynamic Pionk.

 

[Gstank]

Too much IMO. He actually has positive value since he was drafted for some reason

 

[Some Other Flame]

That's a ridiculous overpayment at this stage. Heck of a trade for the Rangers to get a first for a disgruntled prospect.

 

[Savant]

meh! okay deal so far, on a rather ass track record.

You can’t complain about this deal. It’s impossible to.

 

[Trxjw]

No real surprise that NIls had more value around the league than he did here, but that's more than I was expecting.

I think Dallas is gambling here but there's a chance that he can step in this season. Has the tools needed to be a good 2nd pairing guy. Just a question of whether or not his size will be an issue.

 

[CupofOil]

That could easily be a mid 1st round pick. Seems like a lot for Lundqvist but what do I know.

And doesn't Dallas need forwards? Seems ridiculous to spend this much for another defenseman.

 

[McRpro]

 

[Funk21]

This has to be a joke right? GM from Dallas got bent over!

 

[NYRFANMANI]

You can’t complain about this deal. It’s impossible to.

lol, I never complained about the deal, I complained about hyping Drury.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Great deal!

 

[Dion TheFluff]

this has me more comfortable if Sandin is moved now. Great return for the Rangers!

 

[MrHeiskanen]

It's very possible Dallas is a basement team 2024, seems really risky.

Dallas has never, and will never be a basement team though?

 

[3074326]

Dallas what are we doing here my guys
