Confirmed with Link: Nash (50% ret.) to Boston for Spooner + Lindgren + Beleskey (50% ret.) + 2018 1st + 2019 7th

[FireGerardGallant]

He really could not get better prospect than Lindgren? Like, I do not know much about him, but Rangers have a ton of defensive prospects, why add another? Lindgren does not really look anything special.

You can never not have enough defenisve prospects.

Bruins seem like they have a tier of prospects they wouldn't have moved for Nash (Donato, probably Trent Frederic, the guys who are up in the NHL already, maybe a couple others) and a really really big tier of guys who are iffy (JFK, Lindgren, Senyshyn etc).

I would have liked to have two from category B but Spooner should have more value if we flip him (or keep him and flip one of our "core" guys)

 

[Irishguy42]

We probably got Lindgren because they retained on Beleskey.

 

[McD37]

You can never not have enough defenisve prospects.

OK, but except for Chtytil and Lias, Rangers do not have one real potential top6 offensive prospect.

 

[JayMan82]

You can never not have enough defenisve prospects.

Yeah, because Ryan McDonagh put up crazy numbers in college before his Rangers tenure...

Ryan McDonagh

Same thing for Brady Skjei...

Brady Skjei

Give the kids time to develop.

Enter Ryan McDonagh trade.

 

[McD37]

He did, it's Ryan Spooner. Obviously not a kid but he's young. Lindgren and the 7ths are basically throw in's.

Can he be more than just one-dimensional middle 6 player?

 

[haveandare]

We have a ton of defensive prospects?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

We still have two big name players to trade by the draft along with 6 picks in the top 93. I assume some will be forwards. Personnaly I’d like Aidin Dudas with one of those seconds

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

5 assets in a day and age where the Rangers are bereft of assets. Ill take it.

 

[HFBS]

We have a ton of defensive prospects?

Yeah, I'm sure all of them together must weigh about a ton.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

The Hockey Guy said Bruins won this trade and should have given up more. Basically that Boston gave away players they wanted to unload.

Haha.

Everyone said the same thing to us years ago when Rick was better

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I'm happy with getting Lindgren

 

[Beacon]

After this deadline, I can't wait to do a prospect ranking.

After the draft, I can't wait to do another prospect ranking lol.

By the end of the draft. We can potentially have 5 new prospects through trades and another 8 prospects from the first 3 rounds.

Lol, we are only doing one of poll. With 9 new draftees, Rykov and now Lindgren, possibly (probably?) more guys coming for MZA and McD (and maybe DD), as well as possible UDFAs, I think we should wait to the end of the preseason for the next round of polling so we could watch them in Traverse and training camp.

But very exciting to finally have a big, beautiful farm.

 

[TheTakedown]

Why are we skipping over McD, MZA and DD trades?

The more we trade to Tampa's Divison rivals, the more they are going to need to make a move. I like what JG is doing

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

We have a ton of defensive prospects?

They have a bunch of D prospects with no high end upside

Outside of the guys the team just acquired, the most interesting guys to me are Day and Sjalin. If Sjalin can develop, he could end up being a solid middle pairing guy

 

[nyr2k2]

I'm sure the Rangers are very familiar with Lindgren from having checked in on Nanne throughout the year.

 

[FJB]

I'd be happy with just a first considering he's UFA lol

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I'd be happy with just a first considering he's UFA lol

Spooner is RFA

 

[Machinehead]

I was gonna say I like this and then HF crashed.

I still like it.

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

Thats quite an unexpected return for Nash.

 

[Rumpy]

JFK is the guy I was most worried about moving. I doubt he was on the table or an option at all.

I wasnt gunna comment but I figured I’d throw this out there so you don’t say in 2/3 years “what could have been”

The other options in the Lindgren area were probably Cehlarik and maybe Lauzon.

 

[rangerfan_79]

Spooner is RFA

Is he a UFA because of 1 year contract and salary?

I think Dan Rosen tweeted this.

 

[chosen]

Lundqvist was a 7th round pick. You never know.

Here is the rest of that 7th round:

 

[Edge]

Lol.

I think some of you think the pieces are all going to be in place for a rebuild by this Monday.

It doesn’t work that way.

The Rangers are still adding young talent, and will have to continue to do so for at least another couple of seasons.

That includes the upcoming draft, additional trades, and signings.

I am sure they are not content with their depth at the forward ranks. But we are just starting the entire process.

Trust me, this is going to take some time and it’s not always going to be pleasant.
