Confirmed with Link: Rangers Acquire Rights to D Nick DeSimone and 4th-Round Pick (2022) for F Brett Howden

[nyr2k2]

I would have given Howden away for free so to get any pick is great.

DeSimone is an AHL ayer headed to free agency.

DeSimone AHL ballast.

 

[darko]

Meh. Happy to see Howden gone.

 

[Raspewtin]

great value for a player that’s not NHL caliber

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

4th round pick for Howden is a steal

 

[rangers1314]

Howden seems like a great kid, works hard. Just doesn’t have the talent.

He should have been given AHL experience.

 

[DialUp]

The Knights, of the sort that got bounced by the Habs of all teams, just got that much worse.

 

[cwede]

Raddysh's replacement

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

The best thing I can say about Brett Howden is that he seemed like a good guy and a good locker-room presence.


What an awful, awful hockey player.

Howden still gonna be a player. Rangers lost this one.

 

[nyr2k2]

DeSimone is not a bad AHL player, I'd take him on an AHL deal.

 

[SA16]

Howden still gonna be a player. Rangers lost this one.

The next William Karlsson?

 

[Polar Bear]

Howden still gonna be a player. Rangers lost this one.

I mean he's going to be a player, just might not be in the NHL.....

 

[Machinehead]

Howden still gonna be a player. Rangers lost this one.

He was. For the other team.

 

[The don godfather]

The next William Karlsson?

Only 23 1st round talent . Hes had some good glimpses early in his career plus good size . Why not. Good trade for knights

 

[Savant]

The next William Karlsson?

The next Oscar Lindberg

 

[DanielBrassard]

Rangers loading up on 4ths.

Wish this trade was made a year ago. I honestly believe the team would have won a couple more games last year had Howden not been available for Quinn to use. And we’d know a lot more about Gauthier.

Because as usual, it shows you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to the Rangers. Howden has been abysmal since joining the team. He can't do anything effectively. It was a major pro-scouting blunder by the Rangers scouts. He doesn't have the talent to be in the NHL.

Wouldn't surprise me he puts some numbers for knights playing full time.

No it would surprise anyone who has watched a single Brett Howden game and I know you're just here to troll as usual. GTFO.

 

[MadHookUp]

This is great news for a couple reasons. But most importantly, Drury sees the reality of Howden. Something Gorton, Quinn, and Carp couldn't see. It makes me feel better that Drury not only didn't want to protect him, but decided to trade him.

4th round pick for Howden is a steal

We were willing to let Seattle take him for nothing so a 4th is great. And grabbing Goodrow’s rights is very heartening. Drury moving in the right direction.

Exactly. These moves are positive because it shows Drury recognizes what the problem areas are and has a good feel for who the right players to fix them might be.

Even if Goodrow isn’t signed I am happy because the GM seems to really get it. Drury answered several outstanding questions today.
