The Rangers got a hell of a haul. I would have been elated back in the early 2000's if we got that kind of return for Richards or Boyle, and to get that many pieces back today when young players are more valuable than ever, hard to hope for much more than that. Classic mutually beneficial trade. I would be shocked if Howden doesn't become a high level #2/#3 center and if Hajek isn't a top 4 D. Two high picks on top of that, great trade.

Yep no kidding when we traded brad Richards all we got back was mike Smith and Halpern! That’s all we got back for a like 27 year old brad Richards in his prime! And brad Richards was a clear number one center

Defensemen are expensive and the Lightning had to pay the freight. Fortunately the organization keeps producing forwards that other teams want and monetizing them into Dmen. Only homegrown Dman on the active roster is Heddy, the no brainer pick. Hopefully Foote joins him soon.

It’s pretty remarkable we have a defense as talented as it is without really developing our own draft picks.

Sure, we identified the young guys like Cernak and Sergachev early into their career, but our own draft picks haven’t really filled any holes yet.

And despite that, we’ve been able to ice one of the more talented defenses in the NHL.

The big thing about this trade is how it didn't really hurt us. We're unlikely to miss any of the prospects we gave up, even if they do good things for the Rangers. And we got Miller in the deal, who'll either play a key role for us or be traded to recoup one of the picks we gave up.

Probably a good deal for both sides. Great deal for the Lightning.

He'll suck, don't you worry. I was way more annoyed at losing Hajek and Howden than him.

Same, was very high on Hajek and his progression since being drafted. Numbers look underwhelming but he's a first year pro, still tons of upside there.

Geez. This made me look up his stats, because I was really unhappy about losing hajek too. He’s 21, and should have decent numbers. Looked like his assists took a dive, but he got traded to Regina so that might have something to do with it.
