Confirmed Trade: [CHI/NYR] Darren Raddysh for Peter Holland

[leafs in five]

That is the same modus operandi as Garth Snow. Just saying...

is also what people were saying about the Leafs when they acquired Holland/Lupul/Colborne/Ashton/Gardiner

Interesting.

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

Maybe they felt like he deserved an opportunity and wouldn't get it with them? Or to open up room for another prospect in the A?

Rangers had Zib, Strome, Miller, Puempel, Namestikov from the 2011 first round alone

Could this small trade be a prelude to something bigger? This might be for depth if or when guys like Kruger or anisomov get moved.

Snow and Bowman shouldn’t even be mentioned in same sentence. But this isn’t a reclamation project for the NHL team. Holland will likely spend most of his time in Rockford.

Now if we can only get Taylor to come join his brother

I see why the Rangers did it, but at the same time, we really need to start giving more of a **** about our AHL team.

They might be the worst-run team in the AHL which is astounding given our resources.

They're in 31st place, seems like they're sellers in the AHL just like the big leagues is all this trade is.

 

[These Are The Days]

I would have liked to see the Lightning trade for Raddysh so the brothers could be back together again. At worst Darren would be good for the Crunch.

 

[SlickShot]

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

He just isnt turning into the player ge was suppose to be

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I wouldn't be surprised if Kruger is traded at deadline and Holland finishes out year on Hawks

As for Darren Raddysh he really isn't anything special as prospect at this point and his future with Hawks organization likely was limited with our D prospect pool in coming years

Holland could end up being a good depth pickup for Chicago.
