<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>elpeso12</b></div><div>I don't think there is any way Lindgren is worth a 1st. RFA's worth a first are rare. Like sam Reinhart, 50 goal scorer went for a late 1st. Not a bottom pairing dman. What did New York get for Buch when he was an rfa? Not even a 1st.

No penalty for the buyout? What?</div></div>

Ok there is a lot to decompress here...
In regards to Buch, NYR couldn't afford to resign him and he still got a 2nd and a roster player. It was a massive undersell at the time and still is now.

The Reinhart comparison is also complete trash.
1) He got a future 1st -- no anticipation on late, mid or early as it was a summer 2021 trade and they got a 2022 1st back
2) He also got a top goalie prospect in Levi back
3) He didn't sniff 50 goals until this year.. his high before the trade was 25 goals and his high before this year was 33. Let's not act as if he had 50 prior or that anyone thought he would get that when he was traded



Yes there is no penalty for Goodrows buyout this year. It actually gives a cap credit of ~$250k additional in cap space. Doesn't really matter as he's since been claimed off of waivers, not costing NYR anything.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Carleton</b></div><div>I don't hate him personally, I'm just not interested in trading actual useful utility players for 4th liners. Nobody knew who he was until he came into the league and started fighting because he's not a skilled player. 4th liners who can fight are found anywhere. Could he be a 4th line staple? Probably. But not at the cost of good middle 6 players lol</div></div>

It's not that he just fights... he's actually quick on his skates (although he does need to get "stronger" on them), hits like a truck, and actually causes the defense on the other team to hesitate when going back for the puck (which can lead to mistakes being made by the defense). He definitely needs to grow as a player, work on his edging, hands, etc. but slight improvements in each area and he's a great player to have.

Rempe fits a billing that just isn't matched-- which is why I'm guessing the guy wanted to trade for him. You can't teach size, and the kid (yes he's a kid at only 21) has it in strides at 6'9". Yes he's a 4th line plug right now, but the kid has a decent future ahead of him. If he makes a few improvements he goes from 4th line plug to bottom 6 staple. It usually take bigger guys a bit longer to break through (either that or they are bonafide studs from the bat), he got his first taste this year-- lets see what he does to stay in the lineup. If you've watched any of his interviews, you can't possibly hate the kid personally (you can hate him as an opposing hockey player yes)-- he says all the right things.

NYR aren't going to accept that.

Maybe Seattle could've gotten more for Gorde if they traded him at the previous deadline. At this point, he'll likely garner similar to Wennberg did (unless a team is desperate). Don't really see too much appeal for NYR as he's not a massive upgrade for them, is costing them premium assets, and will be almost 35 by the first year of that extension. TBH he's not doing more than Chytil in a bottom 6 role and isn't a fit for NYRs top 6.

Bjorkstrand isn't the worst add but he's a complete defensive liability that doesn't play the body. NYR already have enough of these types of players that don't really help come playoff time, especially when you need your bottom 6 to be physical.

NYR just have better places to spend these assets. I'd prefer to spend all that on Necas than Gorde+Bjorkstrand+two 3rds
