confirmed: Rangers Trade Brendan Lemieux to LAK For 4th Round Pick

Link:

well that's a weak return.

Eh. Fine.

so random

They basically dumped him to get Howden back into the lineup. Whatever.

so random

 

PDG is back. lol

Makes sense to me. Lemieux didn't really have a long-term role here and Rooney/Blackwell/PDG are all more serviceable players. I imagine this is a precursor Gauthier dropping down to the 4th line rotation with Kravtsov taking his place on the third line.

4th liner gets a 4th liner return.

Side note: Rangers fuck-over Andersson again. ha

Rangers line-up lacks some serious toughness, though.

Yeah, that's logical.

basically throwing someone out to get kravtsov space, assuming we might get a similar return for rooney and that'll wrap up our trades until off-season

It goes beyond Kravtsov. Lemieux just isn't better than any of the competition here and the Rangers also have prospects knocking on the door next year like Morgan Barron and Justin Richards. You're not squeezing much more out of Lemieux at 25 so this is far from "throwing someone out."

Lemiueux's bid for a long term Matt Martin-like career as a 4th liner with the Rangers is now concluded. Obviously management wants to give Kravstov a shot, or Barron.

Liked the toughness he brought. He definitely played hard and forechecked well. End of the day though, in this league your 4th line guys are guys you want to trust in PK or defensive minutes.

 

4th round pick in a draft that is t being scouted much due to covid could be a home run. We also have buffalos 3rd (Vesey) so we have ammo to trade up if we need to

I’m not upset by it. Guy brought toughness but lacked skill and the overall ability to not be a liability

Take it from me. Don’t fall in love with 4th liners (I got the Betts jersey when I was 16 don’t judge)

I guess he didn't go to the right Prep School, and they weren't able to turn him in to oatmeal, like the rest of the personality-less roster. It's now Zibanejad and a bunch of guys who pretend they can't speak english.

I know we like to say Kreider is thickheaded but he's not the pretending type.

Expected more from him, underwhelming

Let's be honest, he fucking sucked. He brought chippiness to the table for sure, but he got his ass beat in most fights and took dumb ass penalties. I won't be sad to see him gone.

You could say that. You could also say he out produced Kappo Kakko, because he did.

That says more about Kakko than it does Lemieux.

That Kakko went to the right prep school?

A little surprised but definitely not gonna cry about it.

 

Lemieux wasn’t the player I thought they were getting. I guess he isn’t the guy the Rangers thought they were getting either.
