Another guy who only scores on the power play right? Just what we need.

Don’t forget the part of the article Larry says he thinks its a bad move and this isn’t the year to dump assets for a run.

No way they trade Othmann or Cuyle for a rental.

NYR desperately needs offense at 5v5, so they’re going to trade for a guy who is extremely mediocre at 5v5 offense and has fewer 5v5 goals this season than Julien Gauthier in like quadruple the playing time?
NYR never ceases to amaze me. It’s clear that not only do they have no idea what their own problems are as a team, but they don’t even know the strengths and weaknesses of the players they’re targeting. They just see the name and what the player did years ago

Lindholm is a pretty good player, he’s pretty clearly primed for a bounce back. He’s sitting on a year to date shooting percentage that is clearly mostly bad luck. He’s not a true 40 goal scorer, but he’s clearly a 20-25 goal scoring center that is good defensively. The problem isn’t Lindholm himself, but that he’s not a natural fit for the Rangers. Are they going to move him (or Mika) to RW to try to kick start the top line? That seems risky, but it also doesn’t seem like an obviously good idea to give up major assets for him and then make him a 3C, second PP unit guy so that he barely has a chance to contribute.

Not worth it. For a 3C find a player that won’t command an obscene return.

This is exactly the type of guy who comes to NYR and underperforms. Pass.

Why…

Can we stop burning assets that put us as perennial middle of the draft team. Its not sustainable success to keep trading picks and other stuff for rentals

I think K’andre and Kakko could be part of a trade for Lindholm and Hanafin. Question is who would Drury rather part with, Kakko or a top tier prospect like Othmann. Have to assume Perreault is off limits. Calgary has recently come out and said they want NHL’ers, guys who can come in and play now and that’s Kakko and I think he’d be on Calgary’s list for a return, same with Key.
Atleast we have a chance to keep our 1st giving up two NHL players with high upsides, and when/if we waive guys like Pitlick and Brodz that’ll free up cap space for a winger.
The way I see it right now is that if Drury wants Lindholm, he’s gonna get Lindholm. It doesn’t seem like he’s gonna not overpay. Now is that the wrong decision? Yeah probably but Dolan wants this team to win and perform so here we are. NYR Don’t do small deadlines
kvnklly
We need 5v5 goals.
Drury: lets shop kakko and try to get lindholm.
Lindholm has as many 5v5 goals as kakko while carrying double the cap space……
Idk why we are bothering to chase a rental who cant score at 5v5
NYsportsfan99
Big yikes. I don’t know how people are defending drury up to this point already. If this moves happens and we have another early exit, he needs to be fired to the fucking moon

This is a fine option if and only if you’re offloading Goodrow at the deadline or in the summer. Otherwise, can’t afford.
Do not want to trade Kakko for Lindholm. Either keep Kakko around as a cheap upside middle six RW who can fill in at 1RW when necessary, or package him for a bonafide 1RW. Do not trade him for a center. If Calgary demands an NHLer give them Miller and request Hanifin in return.
pierogi-daddy
I really don’t think this is the year for an expensive rental, much less for a center who would need to play in the top 6 to be effective
if there’s any move this year it should be for a cheaper 3C (ie not another goddamn first or top propsect). Or if they find a package for a top flight RW, I think moving Kakko as part of that makes sense.
Drury’s moves have really painted this team into a shitty corner. The window on Panarin, Zibanejed, etc is probably closing within 2 years.

When will we learn smh
SKJ-nope
He’s soft, not that good most of the time, and on an expensive expiring deal. Hard pass for me. Perfect fit in this *culture*
lionson76
He’s going to be on top of a few teams’ wish lists… Boston, Colorado, Dallas, Vancouver, Vegas, Winnipeg. Some of those teams have no cap space, some have no draft capital, all of them have shallower prospect pools than us. We might actually have the most to offer Calgary, but also shouldn’t have to overpay. And yet I’m still worried we’re going to get fleeced.

I’d really much rather Adam henrique. Same points but in 1 less game, and a +1 instead of a -8 on a much worse team which is very impressive. Similar contract, similar faceoff %, a ton of playoff history and clutch. He’d be a huge asset on and off the ice for this team
jkman61494
I’d only consider Lindholm if we had a long term deal in place. The issue is to do that you’re likely looming at Miller, a First and begging Goodrow to waive a no trade, which will never happen.
The ONLY hope is telling Goodrow he’ll be playing in Hartford until 2027 if he doesn’t comply
But this rental sounds like the exact trade you’d expect from a guy who thought Sammy Blais and a 2nd was fair value for a first line ring winger

Just gimme some Anthony Duclair
Dude plays with pace- should be much cheaper

Drury definitely has a type
How about Andrei Kuzmenko to the Rangers?
