Saw someone else say there's a conditional 4th coming our way as well

Excuse me now, for I need to place a bet on 'Nils anytime goalscorer' for the first DAL/NYR game

[bhamill]

Well. I guess that’s not bad. Hopefully it works out for both teams and we get 11th OA in 2023. Hahah.

 

[bobbop]

Well done Chris Drury!

Value is what we hoped for but frankly did not expect. Can’t be unhappy having a second first in a strong draft..

 

[Barnaby]

Hopefully this works out like the David Rundblad trade. Now we just need to draft a Tarasenko.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

How is the 2024 draft? Should I root for a top 10 pick two straight seasons?

 

[RangerBoy]

Top 10 lottery protected in 2023.

 

[nyr2k2]

That's a wonderful return, all things considered.

 

[bleedblue94]

Great trade!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

pretty crazy they got a 1st round pick for him

 

[romba]

Hopefully it’s top 10 this year, so it rolls over with no restriction and we then land a top 3. How’s Dallas look for this year?

 

[Crease]

Good return under the circumstances, but it sucks the Rangers now have one less capable warm body in the organization for this season. There will be injuries. Do the Rangers now sign another AAAA defenseman for Hartford?

 

[NYR94]

Nice

Bubble team.

I'm hoping for 11OA, personally. Good draft this year.

 

[Circus86]

Honestly, this is way better return than I expected. Great job Drury!

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Nice return, should be a mid teens first rounder in a deep draft. Makes it possible to move ours (if needed) at the trade deadline. Good job Drury.

The McDonagh trade tree lives on.

 

[NYR Viper]

Good return under the circumstances, but it sucks the Rangers now have one less capable warm body in the organization for this season. There will be injuries. Do the Rangers now sign another AAAA defenseman for Hartford?

Yes, I’m hoping they go sign another capable NHL body from somewhere.

Sure

Drury finally wins a trade

 

[Mac n Gs]

I'm surprised Nils held that much value still, but really good on Drury for getting that much in return for him. DAL is in the middle of a division with some of the best Western Conference teams and the two worst. I think it'll be tough for them to be better than COL, MIN, or STL unless Oettinger ends up being this year's Shesterkin.

Really happy with what Drury was able to do to handle this situation. Nils is going to face the same issues in DAL with Heiskanen and Harley there.

 

[Rempe73]

Big W. Most “reclamation” players cost a 2nd. Nils isn’t technically a reclamation but he was never going to get in the lineup here, and his value definitely dropped.

 

[RangerBoy]

Really.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Unprotected pick on 2024 is kinda big, Dallas could be garbage in two years.
