Who?

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Why?

I mean it's entirely inconsequential, but why?

[DanielBrassard]

Uh...

 

[NYRKING30]

Why?

Its just for Hartford. Couldn't tell you why since I don't watch the Pac that much.

 

[Dalagaze]

Well, at least Ryan gets to play with his brother again.

 

[Waivers]

.............?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I looked up his stats and this guy is garbage. I hope this isn't the last move they make

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Poo trade. Maybe he makes new beats for he room

 

[The Gloaming]

Hurray Ryan and Chris Bourque are reunited once again.

Guessing this is a thank you of sorts from the Rangers for Ryan playing in Hartford for such a long time.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

This move officially puts us over the top to win the cup.

Letssss gooooooo

 

[nevesis]

AHL trade people.

 

[JohnC]

Wonder if Hartford'll name a new captain

 

[Tawnos]

I really don't get the inclination to be like "who?" instead of just looking it up. Cmon people. You're already on the Internet.

I was partially kidding by saying who...

 

[silverfish]

I mean...

This trade has no effect on the Rangers really, but like, why trade for a worse player? Why trade Hartfords captain when they're pushing for the playoffs?

I don't get it.

Not sure how his rap skills will transition to hockey. Our GM has done ok after coming over from NASCAR so maybe theres a chance.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS? **** This stupid ***** organization. Our FO is so *****....im done them and this entire POS organization. I cannot believe we made this trade... Un flippin real."

Gives the indication that they don't give a **** either way haha. Also seems like they didn't like Borque, was skipped over for callups time and time again

 

[GOAT AINEC]

The missing piece to the puzzle?

 

[Waivers]

Can someone fill us in the actual "pros" to this trade? Honestly, no sarcasm involved.

 

[Vitto79]

Likely meaningless deal . They obviously don't think Bourque is worth a contract next year . Will likely be like his bro . Play a few nhl games but mainly an ahl career

I don't get it.

The guy Brown has been a good AHL scorer in the past. I don't know that he's a "worse" player than Bourque. They seem pretty even, except Brown is basically twice Bourque's size.

Most likely Ryan asked to be moved and the Rangers obliged. Won't be the first or last AHLer the Rangers do this for.
