Confirmed Trade: [NYR/NJD] Michael Grabner for 2018 2nd round pick and Yegor Rykov

[Irishguy42]

ummm it was a 2nd not a 1rst

I know that.

 

[Tripod]

The fast get faster.

I know NJ fans were excited about Rykovs upside. Looks like a good return.

Edit: if doesn't look like they are happy:

NO. NON NO NO NO NO.

Mad about it being Rykov as I thought he was our best D prospect.

Well I hope everyone that was BEGGING for Shero to make a trade with the Rangers is happy cause it seems like a lot for a rental. And I figured it would take a lot for them to sell to us.

Rykov? What the hell?

Grabner is a good player and fits a need. But to include Rykov too. Wow

Etc...

 

[SladeWilson23]

Um what?!

 

[pensfansince88]

the other offers must have been terrible

 

[Scott Malkinson]

Brutal trade for NJ.

Excellent work, NYR.

 

[blood gin]

2nd rounder and a prospect. A-ok with that. Some people thought it would be a 1st. Not so.

 

[Pirate Deadpool]

I think it's a good trade for both parties.

 

[pld459666]

Good pick up for the Devils.

Keep him on 3rd / 4th line and PK you will be rewarded

 

[JT Kreider]

Brutal trade for NJ.

Excellent work, NYR.

This makes me feel better

 

[DRW204]

thought someone would end up ponying up a conditional 1st for Grabner based on playoff success...NJD imo got a good deal.

Brutal trade for NJ.

Excellent work, NYR.

Yea I know why would we want a guy who has 52 goals in his last 135 games, kills penalties, and skates like the wind? Brutal awful trade.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Seems like a fair deal. Wonder if this frees up the winger market going in

 

[Pens x]

Decent return, got more then I expected them to get. Still a far cry from a "1st+" or a "2nd+top prospect".

All I can say is thank God that Rutherford didn't get him. Would hate him here.

He would have been amazing next to Sid. Plus, he has such a small cap hit and he was relatively cheap in comparison to other players we are supposedly interested in. Grabner would be a hell of a lot better than friggin Simon.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Great return for the Rangers

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

I’m pretty sure the deadline isn’t for another couple days. And the Rangers did ok, I guess.

 

[pensfansince88]

Brutal trade for NJ.

Excellent work, NYR.

joke right?? a mid to late 2nd and some mid tier prospect? i'd say NJ easily won

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Brutal trade for NJ.

Excellent work, NYR.

Dont see how you can think that at all

 

[MikeSteaks]

Good trade for both !

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Fine with it. Rykov is a long shot to come over anyway, and the pick’s a pick.

Grabner fills an immediate need. Especially with injuries, our depth wore thin.

 

[Bologna 1]

Would consider it a solid deal for both sides

 

[Tawnos]

2nd rounder and a prospect. A-ok with that. Some people thought it would be a 1st. Not so.

It’s the same level of value. Fairly well known Gorton is more interested in prospects than picks.

 

[aufheben]

joke right?? a mid to late 2nd and some mid tier prospect? i'd say NJ easily won

Why would it be late?

 

[Riptide]

**** me Rykov better be a good get or else I'm pissed we didn't get a 1st

He's a 5th rounder from a couple years ago... who realistically never comes to NA. NYR was NEVER going to get a 1st.

[WhatWhat]

seems like a pretty even trade
