NFT: NYR trade a 4th rounder to the Avalanche for LHD Nick Holden

Anakim : 6/25/2016 2:26 pm
Holden is 29



Stats last year: 201516 Colorado Avalanche NHL 82 6 16 22 24
So we have no second rounder or fourth rounder next year  
Anakim : 6/25/2016 2:30 pm : link
But at least we have our first rounder for the first time since Huge Specimen! Haha
PLEASE LET THIS MEAN THAT MARC STAAL IS GETTING TRADED

Sean Hartnett ‏@HartnettHockey
#NYR defenseman Nick Holden has two years left on his contract at $1.65 million AAV. Solid move by the Blueshirts. He's on affordable terms.



General Fanager ‏@generalfanager
#NYRangers have estimated $15.275M in cap space with 7F/6D/2G after acquiring Nick Holden.


New York Rangers ‏@NYRangers
Holden established career-highs in GP (82), assists (16), average ice time (21:52), hits (217), and blocked shots (118) in 2015-16.



Sounds like a third pair guy.

LD: McDonagh, Skjei, Holden



Holden is 29?

He is a baby. Barely out of his cradle.
Interesting

really know much about him. No way we pay him 1.65M to be an extra though he's going to play.

would be nice if somebody wanted the stiff. Shouldn't have even ben resigned let alone a no movement clause. Perhaps the most over hyped and misunderstood Ny player besides Wilmer Flores at SS.

On a shit team isn't bad at all

Apparently Patrick Roy loved him, but Avalanche fans are glad that he's gone.

"Our survey was pretty down on Holden -- and rightfully so, as he's a big contributor on this defense we all don't like -- but he was second among the team's defenseman in shot differential and most of the time decent defending his own end. Holden's greatest deficiency will always be getting the puck out of his own zone with possession, and a good team can't have that kind of player on the ice nearly 22 minutes a game."

Yeesh. Sounds like a lesser-paid Girardi.

least he'll play the role he should a 3rd pairing D. Unlike DG who gets 1st pair minutes.
I guess he  
XBRONX : 6/25/2016 3:22 pm : link
would have to be matched on the third pair with a righthanded DMAN who can carry the puck out of the zone.
Good News
