Well I guess basically gave up nothing

Going to repost this just for reference on how unlikely it is that a 3rd rounder even becomes a Soucy.
Not the end of the world but I don’t love it
Not a high price to pay for a guy who could be a mainstay on our 3rd pairing till the end of the year, with no commitment beyond this year. Not bad
I’d rather see George play or Warren.
We should rehabilitate this poor man of any raggyness in his blood
I don’t think he’s worth a third round. But he’ll have the 2nd most goals by a d-man on our team, so I think this is a decent addition.
Edit: As I finish typing this, DeAngelo scores his 4th of the year. So I guess Soucy will be 3rd in goals on our team.
Like I said in the other thread would be happy to give a 3rd to anyone but the Rags, would have preferred a 4th for them as if this pick pans out we’ll never hear the end of it.
Ah who am I kidding, Rags draft picks don’t pan out
If it gets boqvist out of the lineup I’ll take it
Don’t love it, but also don’t hate it. Will help out the 3rd pair for sure
Darche got fleeced
Hopefully he comes in motivated as he becomes a UFA in July. I’m fine with this
It’s not a world ending trade but for sure soucy is not worth a third especially in a draft we don’t have our second.
Getting fleeced by drury is awful
Would have preferred giving up a 4th but if they really want an extra pick we have two 1sts so you can always move down
Soucy has been bad this year but he’s a decent 3rd pairing defensemen if you look at his body of work over the last few years. He’s better than Boquist and the other 8D we’ve been cycling through.
At first my thinking was why would we do this but it’s not a bad move after all. That third round pick probably won’t even make the league (assuming it isn’t some sleeper pick but even then it’s a shot in the dark). Maybe Roy can squeeze every ounce of mileage out of Soucy and he can be serviceable.
Oof, that’s rough
My cutoff was a 3rd so I’m totally fine with it. We’re making a playoff push and our D is decimated. It’s a solid deal that doesn’t hurt our future
Fuckin darche
Where does he even fit in the lineup?
Why would Lou do this?
Think we could have used that cap space better. $3.25m on a 3rd pair dmen… meh.
I wonder who called who… Initiated by Islanders or Rangers….
Rangers call, i’ll probably not answer, or push it directly to voicemail, or tell them to fuck off and not call again EVER
A third is nothing. With Pulock hurt and a desperate need for a defensive defenseman I’m fine with this. He is a pretty solid 3rd pair dman.
It doesn’t move the needle, but this team needs a player who brings some physicality to the game. Soucy is 6’5″ and brings just that. I think the trade is fine and does seem to address a need.
Who? wtf is a saucy? I watch enough ranger games and not sure I have ever heard of this guy. At least we only gave up a half eaten truckstop tuna sandwich for him
It could be a bit much, but by like a round at most, and I we dont know what the deadline market will look like, this could be a steal relative to what we see down the road
Plus, to get someone who can actually play every night and is an upgrade over what we have, you’ll have to give up something of note
