Confirmed Trade: [LAK/NYR] Brendan Lemieux for 2021 4th round pick

[K Fleur]

When this guy was drafted I thought he was going to be a much better player than he is.

Every draftee is a star at the lower levels

 

[PAZ]

Hate having this puke in the division now, such a dirty POS.

Guy is terrible in the locker room. Rangers rid themselves of a problem and are better off, not sure I see LA's angle here though.

 

[KingTech]

Some one want to give this king fan a scouting report please.

For sure. Something about Lemieux’s style seemed like it would translate better to me. Wrong on that one

What makes you say that?

Here's what I posted on the Rangers board


Bonehead move.

One of the best pests in the league and I see him being a huge playoff performer down the road just like his dad. I remember on Spittin Chiclets they were raving about his return after the suspension when he played in the bubble, he completely tilted the ice and we played with a different swagger when he's in the lineup. Lemmy sacrificed so much for this team, that shift where he injured his foot blocking a shot and literally crawled and leaped into another shot block after he already couldn't even stand; sums up who he is as a player. Or that gif of him with a black eye, cuts on his face, casually spitting out blood on the bench.

He is the over the top caricature of what a hockey player is. He's sort of a throwback. I think playing on a line with him was a big influence on Buch's transformation into USA Buch. People complained about our coaches usage of Buch but he became a different player when he was on Lemmy's line and started getting physically engaged in play. Lemmy is a hilarious dude and will be greatly missed by me. Lindgren is a similar type of thorn in peoples sides but I hope we manage to find another player who agitates like Lemieux.

He also has really good puck control, and is a strong skater. He's very clutch and has turned around many games that led to big comebacks, like this one

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Meh.

A nothing pick but he sucks. I liked his intangibles and camaraderie among the guys but bottom line is he’s a mediocre 4th liner.

Good luck on the West Coast.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Samuel Morin beat him so bad that they had to trade him

 

[Tob]

I'd bet $12 that Lemieux wanted to move on from NYR. He skates hard and puts good effort into forechecking.

The coaching staff had next to no appetite for his agitator style and some of his untimely penalties that comes with being a troublemaker.

He'll find a role in the NHL somewhere.

Don’t you guys have Kadri? Should fit right in

 

[Rangers79]

Eh, he didn't add that much toughness to the Rangers. Took a lot of silly penalties. 4th in return is fine

 

[Guardian17]

An "energy" guy with a penchant for taking bad penalties.

His agent is his father.

 

[Vitto79]

Expansion protection trade? Seems odd

probably a factor but it’s a bummer cause he’s a pest . Takes some bad penalties though

Zib,Strome, Panarin, Kreider, Buch,Gauthier, Chytil look to be the current 7

also Lemmy at 1.55 can be replaced by Barron or Kravtsov so adds some cap space

Kadri hasn’t been dirty in Colorado.

Lemieux on the other hand...

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Well that’s an interesting trade.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He must have sucked.

I thought he was a physical player who could chip in and occasionally fly off the handle

 

[bl02]

Kadri hasn’t been dirty in Colorado.

Lemieux on the other hand...

So? Lemieux hasn’t been dirty in LA yet lol Kadri Was plenty dirty and even costing his team in the playoffs.

Kadri has skill.

BL has never scored more than 9 goals in a season (less than a meathead like Kassian). Kadri has 9x the total goals (190 vs.21)

Hey I was just responding to someone saying a “dirty” player was now in his division. I pointed out Kadri is dirty too that’s all. Didn’t bring up skill or no skill

Lemmy is an effective player when he plays on edge. Unfortunately since his last name is Lemieux it puts him as guilty in the eyes of the refs no matter what. A lot of penalties he takes are earned, but a lot are because his last name is Lemieux. He uses his body, fights, sticks up for teammates, will play in front of the crease and along the boards well. He has decent hands and can pot 10-15 goals. It looks like Quinn told him at the beginning of the year if he wants to play he has to stay out of the box and it has really affected his game. He needs to be himself, if that happens you got yourselves an above average 4 th liner

When you score just one goal on Philly it’s clear you need more skill in the lineup. Understandable.
