Raddysh is decent. Not the one I would prefer (AHEM...Tampa...) but he's good.

Honestly, getting a prospect back for Holland is a lot better than I thought (a pick)

 

[haohmaru]

Exciting

 

[NYR Viper]

Raddysh has pretty good numbers in the AHL for a d-man. RH shot too

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Hmm

Holland is like one of the only good AAAA players Hartford actually had.

But I’ll take a free prospect I guess

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Raddysh is a 6'1", 200 lb, 22-y-o, RHS, who went undrafted and has never played in the NHL. He is waivers exempt, signed for one more year and will be an RFA thereafter.

AHL depth?

Odd I thought the experiment of only playing with LDs in Hartford was a success?

 

[Polar Bear]

This is a really good small move by Gorton.

 

[Matz03]

Decent move for Hartford in the long term, get a needed righty D on an ELC, at worst it's a depth move while losing Holland, a ufa this summer.

 

[Bob Richards]

There's no going back now

 

[NYR Viper]

Holland was waiver wire pickup. This is, even if its minor, like found money

 

[NYRKING30]

Well people were asking for trades so......

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Can we get his brother too?

 

[RGY]

Lmao I cant believe Chicago gave up anything of value for Holland. Career AHLer. He is a terrible skater with terrible reactions for the NHL.

But seriously, this move was made in anticipation of adding his brother Taylor was when we deal Zucc down there

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Wrong Raddysh! Still a good trade. Traded someone they picked up for nothing and who was a UFA in a few months for a prospect.

Good AHL numbers. Lotto ticket.

I mean, at this point Hartford this season is f***ed beyond repair. I'd worry about the ramifications of trading a solid vet down there usually especially after Schneider being traded but the season's already down the tubes and spiraling. They'll restock veteran AHL'ers who could produce in free agency and maybe start over with a new coaching staff next season.

I'll take a youngster who has a possible, even if it's small, shot at the NHL for an AHL vet. Also helps Hartford in that he's a righty shooting D; something they've lacked all season.

Not bad.
This makes Hartfords offense even worse then it already is

I posted about this in the main board thread

We might be clearing room at forward in the AHL to make room for a young forward prospect at the TDL? I might be reading too into this

Raddysh is ok, bonus points for being a RHD. Most likely a career AHLer but has a little NHL potential as a bottom pairing guy

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

16 replies and no "Dominoes" post? You guys are slacking

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Hartford’s season is basically lost anyway, I don’t see why Chicago would do this though

You could be on to something

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Good deal.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lets hope so!

 

[Roo Returns]

Probably means Bigras is going to be out a bit. Also more minutes for Lias/Gettinger/Fontaine.

Gorts is the king of small pointless moves
