Confirmed Trade: [NYR/PHI] Justin Braun for 2023 3rd round pick

[CupofOil]

Strange move. NYR RHD depth is stacked. Fox, Trouba, Schneider, Lundkvist. Wonder if this means Lundkvist traded

Probably means that Fox is being shipped out to make room.

Na it will be to ensure play off vet is going to be playing ahead of rookie

MMC? Can you update to Sticky confirmed? Trying to read the real rumors below the stickies

SERENITY NOW!

You know, you should tell your dad that 'serenity now' thing doesn't work. It just bottles up the anger, and eventually, you'll blow.

Was curious if this meant Lundkvist for Copp was a possibility

 

[Trxjw]

Totally fine with this as a Rangers fan. Schneider has been phenomenal but had a few shaky games recently. Having a vet to spell him is fine. Our organizational depth at RD is tremendous but Schneider and Lundkvist have less than a full season of NHL experience combined.

What else would the Rangers have to add? Assuming not much.

Not unless Copp is coming with an affordable extension. Even then I'd be pretty surprised. Lundkvist's value hasn't fallen that hard just because he needed some AHL time to adjust to North America.

 

[SnS]

Was hoping for a second.

I’ve always like Lundkvist + Pajuniemi + 4th for Copp 50% retained, but the adds are not set in stone

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I’ve always like Lundkvist + Pajuniemi + 4th for Copp 59% retained

I'd do that for a re-signed Copp. Solid deal.

Lundkvist for a re-signed Copp I think is the exact type of move our team needs to make.

 

[DucksUnited]

@MMC thank you MMC. It’s a lot easier to read the normal threads mobile to the stickies confirmed

 

[Trxjw]

Lundkvist for a re-signed Copp I think is the exact type of move our team needs to make.

I'm not gonna disagree but I don't see how we can afford it unless they're bumping Chytil or Copp into the Strome spot and walking away from him.

As much as I like Copp I think that's selling a bit low on Lundkvist as well.

Chuck Fletcher is the reason for worldwide shortage of lube.

Agreed. I'd rather pay the rental price and re-sign him ourselves if that's the direction we want to go.

 

[Peltz]

Interesting?
Do the Rangers really need RHD help or is this a precursor for another deal?

They need one in case of injury. That is all. This is insurance.

They'd rather go with this guy than Lundqvist in case Schneider gets injured I guess. I really hope they leave Schneider in the lineup.

 

[bl02]

probably a fair trade.

 

[Peltz]

So what kind of player is Justin Braun? I'm assuming a typical 3rd pairing Defensemen?

#5 defenceman to pair with a puck mover

 

[Waivers]

Could be an every-game, every-other-game type of player. The reality is that you need more than 6 capable defenders, especially come playoffs. Injuries happen all too often and at the most unfortunate times.

Makes sense. Does he play a physical game in his own end?

 

[cheech70]

you know how frugal you need to be to make a profit from a pizzeria? These skills come in handy as a GM of NYR

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Makes sense. Does he play a physical game in his own end?

Philly and San Jose fans would know more, but when I’ve seen him play he’s not soft and also not overly physical

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Solid move
