Pretty good trade for both sides. Philadelphia picks up a top-100 pick for an expiring contract. New York gets a solid RHD who has played some top-pair minutes over the last seasons with the Flyers and has held his own.
Not a bad deal for rangers at all. Mid round pick for a decent defenseman. Hopefully he pushes out Nemeth (i know lefty rights bs), worst case scenario is he is just a depth move in case the rookies can't handle playoff pressure or an injury. Probably should've only cost a 4th but interdivision trades always pay somewhat of a premium
With the way the deadline has been = underpayment
Regular year= fair.
I like the addition. I would necessarily trust scneider / lundqvist on 3rd pair. Nice stability
