Confirmed with Link: Rangers acquire Ryan Sproul for Matt Puempel

[Vitto79]

We need an extra forward not an extra D.

Odd. I like Sproul though.

I’d bet they deal Holden for A forward at some point

 

[E-Train]

So maybe they do end up sending Crawley back to London? Too many D in the AHL at the moment?

Noonan and Gilmour to the moon.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Hartford now has on defense:

Graves
Bereglazov
Sproul
Noonan
Gilmour
Pionk
Pedrie
Crawley

Bear gloves KHL Bound?
Crawley down?
or
Holden trade emiment + Kampfer not going back down = Need for D in AHL.

All likely hood its just an AHL swap

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

That would be criminal...
we paid pretty cheep for what he was and then he had his best year.. Just an odd man out rn.
I'd say we could get a depth forward or a 3rd+ for him

 

[BBKers]

Bye bye nick Holden. Khaira plus a 4th maybe?

Does Sproul mean the end of Holden? Would still mean Kampfer is around.

 

[BBKers]

Kampfer as a #7 is a good cheap option IMO.

Graves - Pionk
Bereglazov - Sproul
Gilmour - Pedrie
Crawley

looks good IMO

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

You don't trade a top 6 AHL forward who can play with players that need linemates (Chytil, Letierri, Nieves, Tambo) to improve their offensive game without another move.

I think it's been decided that Paul Carey is going to be sent down as soon as tomorrow.

Pack going with the 11/7 tonight, same as Rangers, not sustainable for a full season.

If AV barely trusts Cracknell, another move is coming. Michael Ferlund and Sam Bennett are both playing their way off of Calgary at this point. Holden to Calgary actually makes sense.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Always was a fan of Sproul.

 

[Hire Sather]

Would've looked into Sheahan.. need a forward.

Sam Bennett would be absolutely wonderful. No way they move him for Holden though...

He's having a really bad start to the season. It might take Holden and a mid-round pick but I think his value is at an all-time low.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Sam Bennett is so incredibly meh. He'd be a good grab for Holden, but I wouldn't expect much out of him.

Noonan to ECHL also very likely, I would think

 

[Crease]

End of an era.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I wanted this dude 4 years ago. Thought he was a lock to be a stud OFD.

 

[NYR Viper]

Bye bye nick Holden. Khaira plus a 4th maybe?

I would absolutely love this. Have you heard anything?

 

[Mikos87]

They're going to go for a center or a rh winger with upside.

Josh Leivo for Holden helps both teams. Lots of people think Leivo has 15-20 goal upside from that 3rd line RW slot. TOR needs a reliable stopper and PK option.

If the Rangers could figure out a way to get Sam Bennett for Nick Holden and a + or two (not the 1st rounder though) they should do it. Bennett has skill and he has grit. Sometimes it takes some time before things come together for a player. A young Adam Graves struggled for a few years and only really hit his stride after he became a Ranger.

He was part and parcel to Edmonton winning a cup on their kid line.

 

[NYR Viper]

The Rangers have liked Khaira for a while. I wouldn't be surprised to see them add him for the 4th line. Let him develop there.

 

[will1066]

Once he arrives in Det, I wonder if Pumps is going to badmouth us like he did Ottawa.

 

[eco's bones]

Yeah but I'm talking about a Graves that was having 20-25 point seasons 5 years after he was drafted. Bennett certainly falls into that realm and the league is a lot tougher to put up scoring stats now than it was then. As to your point about the breakout playoff run--Graves was playing on a dynasty powerhouse team when he and the 'Kid line' had their big post season--Bennett's Calgary team is in no way and hasn't been a real contender for a long time. So for me that's just circumstantial or an opportunity that has never arisen for Bennett because his team is kind of average.

I like Bennett and I think he would be a great add and I think there is a lot of upside there.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

I'd be surprised. He already thanked the organization and said he really enjoyed his time here

 

[Mac n Gs]

Bennett strikes me as the type of kid whose grit level would fare better in the Eastern conference rather than the Western conference. I’d take him as a buy-low option
