I hope Drury didn't just destroy the locker room by trading one of the hardest working and well respected players remaining.

I hope he did

 

[leetch99]

We’ve improved by trading Lindgren and adding another center

We shall see about that.....unfortunately it does not always work that way . Hope for the best for all involved .

 

[mas0764]

Is Parssinen a C?

Apparently

 

[DanielBrassard]

Im gonna miss Vesebone. Good luck to he and Lindgren going forward but this was the right decision.

 

[duhmetreE]

Is Parssinen a C?

Don’t know how Colorado was using him but he came into Nashville as a center I think

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

The return is fine to very good on this trade but the real value is the addition by subtraction.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

I hope Drury didn't just destroy the locker room by trading one of the hardest working and well respected players remaining.

 

[duhmetreE]

We got a potential center and 2 picks. It’s a win

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I hope he did

This. That locker room has been horrible for so long now that it's clear it needs to be absolutely burned to the ground in order to rebuild it properly. I dont think lindy was the issue in the room, but i couldnt care less what the other guys think.

 

[Cusedog]

The Sell is on. Drury has been active in the week leading up to the trade deadline in the past. Just getting started,

 

[LOFIN]

Goodbye Lindgren and Vesey. Thank you for your service.

With these vibes

Also - Merry Christmas @GoAwayPanarin

His posts will now be 100 times less entertaining.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Our long national nightmare is finally over.

Godspeed Lindy. You played above your station & gave up your body for the team.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Massive Drury W.

Like for real, this may be his best work.

His posts will now be 100 times less entertaining.

Panarin is now to me what Shesterkin is to you.

Picks are conditional.....and we traded a college kid Kampf?

I wonder if Drury getting this done early means we might see a bigger trade including one of the more expensive guys closer to the deadline

 

[AirGut]

It's pretty smart of Drury to bring in all these Finns to help out Kakko.

 

[CLW]

Even better than the return, this signals Drury has accepted defeat and isn't going to make some stupid buy at the deadline.

Maybe. There's still time left.

But this was a good trade for the Rangers, Drury did well. There's still time for Pärssinen to 'hit'; he's flashed talent at the NHL level and if he's a fit with the Rangers he could be a steal.

Thank goodness you're here to pick up the slack! Snowblind 3:16!

I'm not ready to say that just yet. I don't think Drury is going to go full buy mode to try and make the playoffs. I think every move he makes is going to be geared toward the future to some degree, but I don't think he's going to completely abandon the idea of making the playoffs this year.

We may end up being buyers in the sense that we get players intended to help us both now and in the future.

 

[Good Intentions]

I loathe Drury but this trade is addition by subtraction, at a basement level.

Backwards. Rangers are better without Lindgren

 

[NickyFotiu]

What this deal comes down to in my opinion is a 25 game rental of Lindy for a 2nd and a 4th.

I think Drury did great.

 

[GAGLine]

Picks are conditional.....and we traded a college kid Kampf?

The conditions are that we get the better of the picks that Colorado currently holds. Kempf might not have gotten a contract with us.

 

[Kodiak]

Great trade. Literally any return for these guys would be a win.

We know what Lindgren is at this point, and it’s sad that the game has taken so much out of him, but he had to go.

I still like Vesey as a versatile forward, but he was not being used here. Best for both of us to move him.

As for the return, the draft picks are nice. I’m not expecting much of anything from de Haan. He seems pretty terrible. I have some hope for Parssinen. Maybe this is a player that our pro scouts like and think is underutilized. Time will tell. Even if he turns out to be a plug, the trade is still a win.
