Yes it is, Wennberg is a solid 3c and a 2nd +4th is about the going rate for that, Rangers get a good player to help their depth for a cup run, Seattle gets picks, fair deal for both sides

Nice to see Wennberg re-united with his old friend and teammate Erik Gustafsson after all these years .

4th is standard rate for the retention. But thought the market had set a higher price than a straight 2nd for Wennberg.
Feels a tad underwhelming now, yet at season start if you said Kraken would get that prob would’ve said that seems fair.

Good Return for The Kraken

Senators were strung into that trade. There was more flexibly in Wennberg's case.

Guessing for a centre you would've preferred Henrique who ended up netting a 1st. Owner doesn't want to trade the 1st so that really limits how much the Rangers can do.

Wennberg will not be the reason NYR win or lose in the playoffs.
Is he better than what they are currently starting, yeah probably and it's not like they paid some huge cost.
It's a fair deal.

Fair deal, I put Seattle won tho. Not too high on Wennberg, idk why just my opinion of him.

And apparently the reason Dolan doesn't want to trade a 1st is since he wants the rangers to draft someone at the sphere

Good depth 3C to replace Chytil. Price is steeper than I envisioned but all-round fair deal for both sides.

Fair deal for a 3C

So, the first thing i saw was a post-poned contract for the final year of his contract, right. So a savings of 2.25 is fine when the AAV is 4.5, but when player is owed 5.0 mil in final year, Seat's automatically saves 500K, and then the difference in play time over the course of the season (60games out of 82) vs the 50% expected to pay, right.

OMG, I couldn't imagine a more awful take.

MASSIVE L FOR THE RAGS - LEFTOVER BOLOGNA

Not the player I would have targeted if I were NYR but the price was not that high. Late 2nd and a 4th. Likely a less costly consolation prize choice but regardless Wennberg doesn't scream playoff player to me and that is what NYR should have been after IMO.

Early in the season, I thought Wennberg might be able to fetch a second round pick should Seattle decide to sell him. Then the Lindholm and Monahan trades seemed to set the bar high for rental centers, so I believed the price point for Wennberg increased to a conditional second that could become a first. Turns out his actual trade value fell somewhere in the middle. I thought he could have gotten more, but the market seemed to shift in buyers' favor as the deadline approached and Wennberg's relative dearth of scoring may have depressed his trade value. I suppose second and fourth round picks isn't a bad return for Wennberg all things considered, and Seattle has McCann (with Wright waiting in the wings) to step in and replace him at 2C.

Wennberg's a player who doesn't light up the scoresheet and was probably overmatched as a 2C, but he contributes in many other facets with his playmaking, netfront play, and defensive ability. He can contribute on both the power play and penalty kill. He'll be a nice 3C for the Rangers, though he won't be the answer in their search for scoring help.
