Confirmed with Link: [NYR/FLA] Rangers Trade Yogan and Kampfer for Joey Crabb

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Looks like the Panthers gave you Crabbs

Florida is a **** show of a hockey team... NYR is very solid on D. Florida is not. SOmeone who would be a 3rd pairing AHL player here could easily be a 3rd pairing NHL player over there...

I know my team is usually bad but the Panthers 3rd pairing is Ekblad and Willie Mitchell, I'm not too familiar with the Rangers farm team but it would be unheard of defensive depth if their AHL 3rd pairing could make the Panthers.

Good call Vitto. Florida must've done it to save $400k in salaries. There was no hockey reason for this trade from their perspective, but salaries explain it.

San Antonio has a glutton of forwards, Crabb is on a one way deal and is an average AHL player, makes sense from Florida's perspective, and the Rangers get a gritty 14-15th forward, works for both teams.

I always knew he'd be back one day. Walking sideways to Hartford as we speak. How I missed him.

#TheCrabbIsBack

Outstanding work.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

There's always a method to the madness.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Crabb has had productive shifts in the NHL, in case anybody was curious. I actually remember one.

Watch Yogan play this year lol.

 

[OverTheCap]

Joey Crabb actually ended up being one of our more "successful" picks from the 2002 draft, yeesh. Thank goodness our drafting has improved over time.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

He was lucky to catch on with the Indians after a couple of years in the Mexican league.

Very under appreciated comment. I'm laughing here in my office.

Maloney was such garbage for our prospect pool.

 

[Roo Returns]

What I remember was Crabb is a good skater and pesky. He can play regular shifts on the fourth line if needed. Reminded me a lot of Benn Feriero when he was here.

Always liked Yogan but he was a boom/bust pick. Maybe he figures it out somewhere else.

 

[Charlie Conway]

Ah, I would've liked a pick for the hell of it, but I'm okay with this overall.

 

[bobbop]

Crabb actually had some success as a penalty killer in Toronto and he's a good guy in the room. Works for me.

I recall Crabb actually having a few productive seasons with Toronto? strikes me as a serviceable 4th line forward if used correctly (and desperate given our younger options).

Scored his first goal against the Rangers, too.

Yogan was awful glad he's gone

 

[NYRCSKA*]

In the morning if I'm Crabb(y) after Yogan(ing) there's nothing like the smell of K(C)ampher oil. Yogan maybe gets a second life in Florida and a more realistic shot at cracking a roster?

Booooooooooooooooo

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I'm honestly confused how Slats got a serviceable borderline-NHLer for two useless guys who were just taking up space in our 50 contracts. What is Florida seeing here? They need a crappy defenseman in Kampfer? I bet he'd never play for us had he stayed.

Only thing I can think of is that Crabb is on a one way contract so it saves them in the neighborhood of 425k.

Next target, Fogarty.

Yep, that's pretty obviously their motivation.

I am exaggerating a bit, but my point is we're so filled out on defense that he has a much better chance of cracking Florida's roster than NYR...

My exaggeration was that some teams are more stacked or less stacked in specific positions. several of our 2nd pair AHL defenders could probably cut it for 3rd pairing NHL work if necessary... it wouldn't be pretty, but it could work.

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

Had hopes Yogan could one day be a bottom-6 center for us. He's been surpassed in the organizational depth since.

Joey Crabb is a solid addition for Hartford. Another veteran to add to the mix.

Don't think losing Kampfer hurts one bit. We are fine with our depth at D for #7 and beyond.

Bet Yogan's pumped to head home. If he can crack the Panthers soon, he'll be on a winning team. That team is going to be good and faster than everyone thinks.

Andrew Yogan sucks. At everything. So does Kampfer, and so does Crabb. This trade is for nothing more than to dump a contract.

Yuck, Yuck!

I heard Yogan was a pretty good baker

I tried to piggyback off it but was SMERSH'd.

Bat hats.

Next target, Fogarty.

Fogarty isn't under contract. There's technically nothing to get rid of.

His coaches love him. They named him captain for this season. Let's give him another year at least. No reason not to.
