Confirmed Trade: [NYR/SEA] Alex Wennberg (50% retained) for 2024 2nd round pick and 2025 4th round pick

[LokiDog]

I actually love this. Wennberg has speed and talent but isn’t a big producer, however he’s really underrated defensively and still seems like he has a solid, understated impact. I think he’s going to fit well on that line. Always liked him

Depending on the trade value it sounds like a good fit.

...he is a center. and will play on the 3rd line. He's been used as a shutdown center for Seattle all season.

Shutting down the Kraken's offence

Nice pick up depending on price. Wennberg is a good player.

3 day weekend is still a 3 day weekend

Ya it just sucks for those of us who are working and won't have anything to read at work now

 

[Baby Punisher]

No, it's not. But when he's replacing Brodzinksy, it's something lol.

Hey hey, HEY! HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT BRODZI! Laviolette will have your head!

Seems like a 2nd and a 4th will probably be the return.

28% percentile speed according to NHL Edge

still no details!!!
EDIT: thanks Pierre. Price was very high for a 3C IMO. Those 2nds are valuable.

But he also is one of the worst penalty killers in the league which really tanks his overall impact surprisingly in many models.

That's just sample size randomness, Wennberg has been a great PKer at times over the years. His elite defensive play is almost all of his value.

I don't know about speed but he is an elite skater. One of the most "slippery" players in the league.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

That sounds like the type of return I was expecting.

 

[stl76]

Not bad…I like it for the rags!

 

[Baby Punisher]

That's a great deal for the Rangers. They upgraded their 3rd line center position for nearly nothing

a 2 and a 4

will give us some solid cardio as a clock killer. guy is the embodiment of mediocre at pretty much everything. whatever, rather a guy like this than a home run swing that sacrifices valuable assets for a rental that doesn't have a prayer of delivering on the expectations.

I feel like that VAN/BOS/PIT 3 way has gotta happen now, not many suitors left

If Wennberg could shoot the puck, he'd be Patrice Bergeron Lite. But he absolutely refuses to shoot. It's maddening.

As a 3rd liner in a shutdown role, he'll be fine. But he won't carry anyone, and he'll ruin plays on the regular by just not shooting.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Good add, he’s a solid player. He was the 2nd target I was looking at behind Henrique. Has the same versatility.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Not bad, the 2nd is likely going to be around 60, almost a 3rd round pick.

Haha please be a first

Sorry you is disappointed.

Someones just gotta break the ice and light a candle or something.

That 2nd paid for his salary retention

 

[AslanRH]

Bigger fan of Wennberg than most, so I like this for NYR.

 

[Peltz]

I thought Brodzinski has looked good recently and he has an excellent shot. Feels like we just decided to burn a second round pick for the sake of doing "something."
