Confirmed with Link: NYR acquire Adam McQuaid from Bruins for Kampfer, and 4th round pick

[Mac n Gs]

Hockeyviz at least supports this notion, although shots from the slot occur at a higher rate.

I like Weekes. He and Valliquette seem to be very knowledgeable analysts. I also wonder if he knows Hank asked for a bit of help in front of him as far as guys crashing the net

 

[Edge]

Has the team collapsed and everyone died yet?

You must've been asleep.

McQ tripped over Andersson and into Chyil, putting them both on the shelf.

Then he checked Howden through the glass, eliminating all 3 of our young centers.

Quinn accidentally burnt himself trying to light a fire under the asses of Hayes and Buchnevich, and Zucc concussed himself when we accidently skated head first into the knee of O'Gara.

Cody McLeod skated for 30 seconds before accidentally concussing Lundqvist, who was busy breaking his 12th stick of the day over the crossbar when he remembered what the difference in front of him will look like. I don't think he's going to make it.

Meanwhile, Shattenkirk, Pionk and ADA are being fitted for lifts and weights so that maybe someone can hit the 6'1, 210 pound range.

 

[Off Sides]

Know what helps net front defending? Not having your relatively immobile defenders chase much quicker forwards into the corners and behind their own net.

And we'll still somehow draft 8th overall.

So this trade makes the Rangers worse...which is good. What's the problem?

Paying assets instead of receiving.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Paying assets instead of receiving.

I’m ok with trading a 4th and a 7th Dman to ensure our demisr

 

[Edge]

And we'll still somehow draft 8th overall.

Well, if its any consolation --- we'll be slated to pick 9th until the last game of the season and then finish 8th.

Then the team picking 9th will win the lottery.

 

[BBKers]

Paying assets instead of receiving.

Lets see where it ends first

 

[aufheben]

Holden is actually pretty good and he brought back a 3rd rounder. I don't know what people think McQuaid would theoretically return.

I mean, if he returns a 4th that's fine with me

He has to play regularly and not suck first. Right now I just don’t see enough reason to assume this trade will ultimately be a wash in assets. Gorton trying to fill a role here for cheap. I don’t really care one way or another, maybe it will make the season a little bit more entertaining.

 

[Don Cherry]

I think you guys will be happy with Quaider. He'll drop his gloves to defend a teammate no matter who it is. He'll actually fight with a smile on his face which actually looks a little creepy. He's a good, quality, tough-as-nails defender that you got in a steal. I wish him the best of luck with you guys. He's been fun to watch for sure.

You'll probably get a third-liner at the deadline from a team that's soft on D.

 

[Edge]

Holden is actually pretty good and he brought back a 3rd rounder. I don't know what people think McQuaid would theoretically return.

Assuming he plays at his pre-injury level, a fourth or a fifth would be my guess.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

I can see a 3rd and a 6th, I really doubt we will be able to get a 2nd rounder for him.

I am looking forward to some big hits and fights and hope his physical style and mentality will rub off on some players. McLeod never satisfied me in that department.

Exactly lol

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I like McQuaid for us at this point. I'm comfortable having a good Hartford team this year and letting them have success and learn to win before they get to the nhl. So adding him just dropped one of the kids from the big team that has no chance at a championship to a team that should be competitive in the AHL.
You know, I'm not as down as most are about our chances of making the playoffs, I like our forward group even if we have no superstars we can run out 3 really good lines. Our d group needs a few things to go right,but the best thing is we have a lot of depth there and if some guys aren't working out we can give someone else an opportunity. Our d is the key, if its decent we could be battling for a playoff spot...if not...tank city.

 

[Mikos87]

Like the trade. You can flip him as a rental. Adds veteran leadership, toughness to the line up.

Good insulation for the kids coming up, forces them to earn a spot.

Don't have to worry about his play dropping off, bench him and the contracts done in June if it comes to that.

There's very little downside here for where the team is currently.

 

[Lion Hound]

Well, if its any consolation --- we'll be slated to pick 9th until the last game of the season and then finish 8th.

Then the team picking 9th will win the lottery.

And with the 9th OA pick they will select the consensus ranked 21st player for the draft.

Well said and dead on, imo. The Rangers have little to lose on this deal while gaining a HUGE dose of toughness in a quiet, soft-spoken individual. I'm sorry to see him go.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Love your avatar!

Brings back memories of the good old days Bruins/Rangers.

Thanks. I wasn't a fan back then but I have so many memories of my dad with the radio on listening to Marv Albert do the Ranger games. Names like Villemure, Bobby Rousseau, Vic Hatfield and those guys. I was hooked during the '79 playoff run. I fell in love with Duguay and Murdoch. LOL!!

That's Awesome!!!

 

[leetch99]

Good stuff . I like the deal...not much to lose and he can be flipped out at deadline for a pick in return . If he stays healthy and makes life nastier in the slot , that will be fine by me . But then again..I am biased as he is a relative of my wife's . Here is a side of him many will never know either . Enjoy... Adam McQuaid - Sharing his Faith

 

[Machinehead]

Note the polar blue in front of his own net. McQuaid is a great crease-clearer, I have to give him that.

Very concerned about those slot chances, though.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

so this confirms that he and Staal were pretty much the top pair on their OHL team for 4 seasons.
