Confirmed with Link: NYR/COL: Lindgren(50% retained), Vesey for Juuso Pärssinen(C), Calvin de Haan(D), 2nd and 4th(conditional)

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

lol. what exactly is the locker room strength and stability that deserved to be protected? Did you miss that the ECF/PT team from last year completely shat itself after coming back this summer?

This move f***s up the existing locker room dynamic? Good.

 

[haohmaru]

Where's @bernmeister ? I told you Lindgren had value roughly equivalent to a 1st. Here it is.

 

[mrmovies779]

Drury did fantastic here.Picks and a young player with good size and decent skills?Huge win here.I do thank Lindgren for his time here-he left it all on the ice... unfortunately a Zamboni cleaned it all up and he never found it again

 

[E-Train]

Really good move by Drury. A 2nd for Lindgren and a 4th for Vesey as expected. Nice to pick up a young C with size and some upside. Gives hope for the moves to come

I'm sure Jt , Chris k and Fox will be mad

We also gave up 22yo d kempf

 

[LokiDog]

Wait so is Fox still married or did we just ship his wife out? Breakups can be great for getting a guy in the gym.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Great trade by Drury.

Truly wish Lindgren the best, hope he goes and wins a Cup. But NYR needed to turn the page on the Lindgren-Fox era.

I've met may divorcee's at the gym grinding away. These are true words.

Think we just found Lafreniere's new off-season training regimen.

 

[DialUp]

Pouring one out for Lindgren and Jimmy. Especially in Lindgren's case, it's not his fault we hire the worst coaches that insist on playing him. You don't get bloody every night by not trying at least. Wish them both well.

 

[NYRangers16]

I was so incredibly worried this team would avoid moving pending FAs in an attempt to make the playoffs this year, and I'm so glad they decided not to.

Smith, Quick, and potentially Kreider are next to help restock the cupboards.

At the very least some young guys will get some great experience going into next year.

 

[Ail]

I don’t know why people are calling us sellers.

We traded a pending UFA with some of the worst metrics in the league and got value.

We are better today. I don’t see that as selling but trying to make the team better. We can still go both ways though. We’ll see what else Drury has in store. IMO we’re buying.

Agree, smells of buyer IMO. Drury was already planning on moving on from Lindgren. Addition by subtraction, not a sell off.

 

[Cusedog]

Deadline moves will set up what will be a monumental off-season for the Rangers. Team needs to get younger and bring in size, speed, and sandpaper. Drury appears to be getting better at not getting fleeced with his trades.

Jimmy, HAGS

WTF

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

They almost certainly keep him at this point. Gotta ice a roster and they obviously have no time for Matt Robertson.

Chad Ruhwedel says hi…

Agreed. These moves are neutral moves. De Haan and Lindy arent much different. Vesey easily replaced with othmann, berard.

Imo the 2nd gets moved for a piece

 

[offdacrossbar]

Hey Dru, Tell me you finally understand your team sucks without telling me

I like the concept of the deal and I like the actual deal. A rarity.

Finally we move on from the traffic cone. He's been legit awful. Always appreciated veseys efforts with marginal talent.

The return is both adequate and an acknowledgement. Approve.

 

[cheech70]

50% ....Drury is moving pretty fast

 

[Rongomania]

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

SELLLLLLLERS BAYBAYYY

 

[pld459666]

I have a feeling that with Pärssinen, some people are going to forget about Chytil before the season is over...

Doubt it. Parssinen can't score for his life

 

[kovazub94]

Ryan Lindgren was never a star, but he was my favorite Ranger of this iteration. I had no problem acknowledging his break down, and I know why everyone wanted him gone at the end, but he deserves nothing but praise in my book. We complain about guys like Laf or whomever having questionable commitment to fitness or improving and Lindgren with 1/6 the hype or talent (or earnings) gave us every ounce he had.

Realizing I’m almost positive I made the exact same post about Girardi when his time here ended too. Guess I’ve got a type. Or just like seeing dudes bleed for their team.

No one can question Ryan’s effort at any point, period. He was also very fine for what he’d brought through 22-23 season and then the wheels just fell off completely (surprisingly how early relative to norm it started for him).

Wishing nothing but the best to both him and Vesey and will be rooting for success the rest of their careers.
