Interesting.

Wonder why the Blackhawks did this because Raddysh seemed like a quietly good prospect.

 

[justafan22]

Holland was taken 1 pick before Nick Leddy, 4 before Kreider, 9 before Johansson, 11 before Palmieri and 17 picks before Ryan O'Reilly.

The Hawks have 3 great RHD prospects, and Seabrook and Murphy for the foreseeable future. Can’t see much opportunity for him here. I don’t think most Hawks fans even had him on their radar.

Sucks that he couldn't play with his Erie Otter teammates here.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Wrong Raddysh!

 

[clydesdale line]

Rockford is weak in forward depth so this should help them for the playoffs.

I really don’t think Raddysh is ever gonna be an NHL player. Reminds me a bit of Clendenning as he is probably gonna be too good for the AHL yet not good enough to be a regular NHL player. Plus we have an absolute log jam of much better RHD prospects.

The ice hogs are in a playoff race and don’t score a lot of goals. Holland should be a big help for the hogs and it opens up a slot on d if they want to send Forsling down for the playoffs.

Busts happen.

What's your team ?

I'm a Habs fan, we picked Leblanc 3 picks after Holland... and have a couple of busts in the last decades...

 

[McDrailers]

How many times has Holland been traded? Seems like a lot for a career AHL player

I tend to agree, but the age difference is why I don't get this deal.

You take the 10% chance on Raddysh turning out to be a long term 3rd pairing guy vs the 0.01% chance Holland figures it out at age 28.

Rangers seem to be quietly getting good for the future

 

[Lays]

Why’s Hartford getting rid of our good offensive players? First we trade Schneider for Brickley, Schneider is much better at the AHL level. Now Holland for Raddysh (a dman)
Rangers maybe adding young forward prospects in the AHL at the TDL?
I mean I like this deal as Raddysh still has a bit of NHL potential in him and he’s a RHD but still weird

peter vanilla holland.

I don’t even think there’s a 10% chance at him becoming a 3rd pairing guy. With the Blackhawks that chance is even slimmer because they have the best collection of RHD prospects in the league. This was all a minor league move.

Holland is a pending UFA... maybe Raddysh can beat the odds and play on a 3rd pair, but he's worth it even if he's cheap RD depth.

I don't think the Rangers are all that concerned about the offense of their already awful AHL team. They'll hopefully retool it a bit for next season.

You're probably right but I take the younger guy in these types of trades every day.

Blackhawks love their reclamation projects

New York: Hey Tampa how can we help you out this season
Tampa: Well we don't need much but re-uniting the Raddysh brothers might be a good idea
New York: No problem, we'll get the ball rolling

Yeah, Holland was easily Hartford's best forward and one of the best forwards in the entire AHL.

Rangers desperately needed RD for Hartford, and Raddysh is one of the better young RHD in the AHL.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Stop playing with my heart.

 

[Sinkkunaattori]

Didn't even know Pistol Pete was still in the league, oh how I miss Leafs 1st line center Pistol Pete.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Holland is expiring. This frees up a roster spot. Hawks have a few prospects (Mitchell, Krys, Kurashev, maybe Kayumov) to sign this off season.

 

[Just Linda]

Blockbuster AHL trade. Both AHL clubs will be excited at the move

 

[One Winged Angel]

AHL depth move. I don’t know otherwise.
