Confirmed with Link: Rangers Trade Adam Cracknell for Peter Holland

[GeorgeKaplan]

Man those Habs love tuffness

 

[McRanger]

I liked Holland back in '09.

I was always surprised he didn't settle into a middle or bottom six role somewhere.

 

[will1066]

Let's hope Holland tunnels his way into the fourth line.

 

[Irishguy42]

Now we know why Sather & Co was scouting the Habs.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I can dig it especially at the expense of a useless piece like Cracknell who just didn’t have the legs for this team

 

[Irishguy42]

Great piece for Hartford, if that's where he ends up.

8-10-18 in 20 GP with Laval this year.

 

[cwede]

26 yr old C, size and some skill, signed thru '19, for a 32 yr old low-skill waiver pickup.
cannot complain.
fun fact:
Anaheim 2009 4th rd pick Sami Vatenen,
Anaheim 2009 1st rd pick Peter Holland

Cracknell has been butt. Holland is whatever, but still probably an upgrade.

 

[TheTakedown]

The puns in this thread are amazing LMAO

 

[Machinehead]

Don't see an upgrade here at all.

But it doesn't really matter. I'd rather see Letteri in over either one of them anyway.

Letteri should have been here to begin with.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Definitely just a minor league move for the most part. Could fill in if needed but an upgrade to help the Pack, I suppose.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

If he makes the team, I am buying a jersey with his name, for obvious reasons

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

This year's Matt Puempel

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Holland is somewhat of an upgrade on Cracknell so there’s that

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Let's hope Holland tunnels his way into the fourth line.

Hope he lights the (red) lamp. I was always very "high" on him. If I were him I would be motivated to make it, "wooden-shoe"?

 

[Inferno]

i'm all for incremental improvements. Cracknell kinda sucked..so if he just sucks a little less, its a good move.

 

[Machinehead]

So you have something to wear during the World Cup?

 

[TheTakedown]

Make sure you get a number 0 (zero) jersey to signify the tunnel LMAO

 

[EpicDing]

This is painful

 

[TheTakedown]

This is good asset management by Gorton.

Turned a 27 year old waiver wire pickup (Puempel) into an expansion draft requirement satisfaction
Turned that wire pickup into a 24 year old d prospect with high upside.

Picked up a 32 year old Cracknell off waivers
Turned Cracknell in 24 year old bottom 6 upside Centerman in Holland

These small moves go very unnoticed but they have a nice domino effect

Not cool, dude. What was that country that finished higher than the US? Costa Rica, Honduras or Panama? Oh wait. All 3 of them

 

[Lion Hound]

Welcome to the NY Rangers Peter Holland.


Can we name this guy Goldmember?

 

[Machinehead]

Not cool, dude. What was that country that finished higher than the US? Costa Rica, Honduras or Panama? Oh wait. All 3 of them

Don't worry, I'm just teasing

Lol the US. Glad I don't have to waste time on them this World Cup tbh.

 

[Ola]

Good, Tambs is a very subpar AHL No 1 center.
