Confirmed with Link: Peter Holland traded to Chicago

[UAGoalieGuy]

I really like these minor trades. Getting something for basically nothing. 2 7ths and a RHD prospect for a goon, a goalie that would never see the light of day in the NHL with the Rangers and a 28 y/o career AHLer.

 

[GAGLine]

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

Chicago's AHL team is pretty good. This is probably to bolster that team going into the playoffs.

Rockford needs scoring.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

I wish I could have seen Gortons face when the Hawks offered a prospect for Holland.

We always get the wrong brother

 

[FireGerardGallant]

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

Or maybe when Howdens healthy they send him down to Hartford for a bit?
Either way to get something for basically nothing outside of hurting Hartford's scoring atm is pretty damn good.

 

[cwede]

Even if he is not a high likelihood Prospect, glad they added a young RHD to the HWP roster.

Right now Crawley, Bigras, OGara are hurt, this weekend they had 3 PTO D on roster.

Maybe the can swap Gilmour for a younger player or comparable F, my wish-trade target for Gilmour is Toninato ..

 

[Kovalev27]

Having said that this is a very good move. We have nothing on the right side in hartford.

 

[Trxjw]

Raddysh had a lot of fans around here when he was having his big year on a stacked Erie squad. Probably never becomes an NHLer but fine for a guy who was probably walking in a few months anyway. Hartford needed the blue line depth.

 

[Mac n Gs]

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

Close, but Cracknell was the waiver pickup who they then sent to MTL for Holland.

 

[E-Train]

WhereTF is the 2020 7th?

 

[Crease]

I did not know we had Holland so I guess I'm okay with this.

 

[haveandare]

I'll add prospects for tweener UFAs all day. Small deal but good.

<----- MFW your friend tells you a trade happened but doesn't give you any details and you log on to HFBoards to see this.

At least we got the more attractive Lundqvist...

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Not dominoes, but I think it’s safe to say the rebuild is complete.

 

[nyr2k2]

Hayes and Lundqvist! Vesey, too, and probably Howden. Also, Staalsy isn't the best of the brothers but he's exponentially better than Jared. There was a time when we definitely seemed to have the wrong brother at all times, but Hank might have broken that.

 

[nyr2k2]

This is a great trade, IMO. I mean nothing that moves the needle any substantial amount, but the reality is we took Holland, who was gone in a couple months, and acquired a guy who still could realistically develop into an NHL player. It's probably inconsequential, in the end, but it's a "no reason not to do this" type of thing. No downside (Hartford is already done), only upside.

 

[NYR Viper]

The other thing deals like this do is help Gorton build a rapport with another GM and his team. Relationships help when things get larger or more serious.

Does Raddysh crack our top 20 prospect pool?

 

[cwede]

No downside here,
Raddysh is signed and waiver exempt next season, then RFA

He's 22 and had. 66 assist, 80+ point season at Erie - agreed that alone doesn't make him a better prospect, but reflects some on his all round game and earning icetime

till now the 8 NHL-signed D in HWP this year were all LHD,
Of the 10 prospect D added in last 12 months (TDL, draft), I believe only Keane and Lundkvist are RHD

If not needed, Raddysh can always be moved again, RHD are like LHPs, teams are always looking

K'Andre* is LHD

Phone autcorrected to Keane

 

[Vitto79]

Lotto ticket in the Young D for a guy that had no future in NY so sure no risk move

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Gorts is the king of small pointless moves

It doesn’t hurt to trade a career AHLer for a prospect who could possibly become something.
