Confirmed with Link: Rangers trade Rupp to Wild for Darroll Powe and Nick Palmieri

[slipknottin]

So no heavy on the team though. Does this become Bickels role? It is the one thing he does alright. Though he is not all that big. Or does mashinter get called up at some point?

 

[Kokoschka]

Powe - Hard-hitting, great PKer, very good speed, hard-nosed 3rd/4th liner. Love the deal if that's all it is.

Powe is signed for this year and next. He is a pain in the ass to play against.

Nice. Thanks.

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

Woah. And Nick Palmieri?

Minnesota Wild ‏@mnwild
BREAKING: #mnwild acquires C Mike Rupp from @NYRangers for C Darroll Powe and RW Nick Palmieri. Details: http://wild.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=654014 #NHL

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

So is this the Brandon Prust replacement we've been looking for?

 

[RangerBoy]

Nick Palmieri is in the deal, too

Former Devil.

Michael Russo ‏@Russostrib
Nick Palmieri is in the deal, too #mnwild

Uhh, awesome?

 

[Krams]

What? Palmieri too? Holy ****.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Rumors has it for Darrel Powe.

I am not going to say I called it, but, I called it

You are a seer

Like this trade, have always liked Powe for what he brings

...and Palmieri? Great trade

 

[NYR Viper]

So if I am getting this right, the Rangers get both Palmieri who would be a solid depth NHLer right now and Powe for Rupp?

GOOD MOVE, CLEARS OVER 400.000 IN SPACE FOR NEXT YEAR.
Pesty forechecker almost 10 years younger
Mashinter gets the callup now
Plus we should now try to get one of either Sarich or Murray

And Palmieri too?
Wow - good for CT

Good job Glenn

 

[E-Train]

I think that is the first time that has happened for me. Apparently the Rangers thought they could get by with Asham and Bickel?

Powe is clearly the better player

I didn't think they'd move him, at least not till the offseason. Good call.

 

[RangerBoy]

If Darroll Powe is the third healthy scratch as it appears, it'll be his first time with #mnwild. He played all 82 last year

Whats the scouting report on Palmieri?

 

[Krams]

 

[Fitzy]

Hm. Well, its hard not to like this deal. We got a little bit faster, and added an okay bottom 6 prospect with size.

 

[we want cup]

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun
Rangers get Nick Palimieri and Darrell Powe from Minny for Mike Rupp. Rangers will send Palimieri to AHL.

 

[slipknottin]

Really? Guess Rupp was a good signing after all. Just like the Gomez signing.

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

Palmieri will be big help to CT Whale.

 

[NYR Viper]

I wanted Powe when he was on the Flyers. Just an in-your-face, no nonsense, pain in the ass. He is Callahan minus the offensive production.

 

[RangerBoy]

Wild confirm they acquire Mike Rupp from Rangers for C Darroll Powe and RW Nick Palmieri.

Sorry, forgot to include Darrell Powe in that trade tweet. Powe and Palmieri for Rupp. Palmieri going to CT.

[nyr2k2]

LOL why did MN do this? Very happy with the deal, and I've always liked Rupp...

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Palmieri will be big help to CT Whale.

And still young. With size.

 

[SKNJD9]

Whats the scouting report on Palmieri?

Solid skill set but his Laziness grew old pretty quickly on Lou and Pete.

If Torts can motivate him it can be a big pay off for you guys but if he continues with his bad habits / work ethic, John might throw him off the GWB.

 

[Thirty One]

47 contracts now.

Why send Palmieri to CT?

 

[Bluenote13]

Rumors has it for Darrel Powe.

I am not going to say I called it, but, I called it

Nice call.

See ya Rupper, Paging Mr. Mash !

I watched Powe play at Princeton for 4 years, always one of my fave Tigers, was always pissed that Rangers never drafted any Princeton players. Halpern was a good one, we are getting him way too late of course.

Trying to replace Prust - check

Bring in younger tough guys over Rupp - Check

Cheap moves, lets see how that worksout.
