Future Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 O'Gara is pretty irrelevant, but a third-rounder for Holden is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 A warm body and a 3rd for a guy they traded a 4th for? That's a win in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 O'Gara is pretty irrelevant, but a third-rounder for Holden is about right. maybe Boston was at the max contract limit? Needed a body going the other way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfrancesa Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 O’gara Is basically a replacement in depth for Holden. He’s played for the Bruins this year in a couple of games. Nothing special, he was a throw in in a trade for Nick Holden, but I would imagine we will see him Thursday. The third rounder is good value. Good trade.

LarryBiv Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 And awaaay we go! (In the words of the late great Jackie Gleason) good start, don't want too much to do all at once at deadline. Get some of these done asap! Would have preferred this be Nasher or Grabs (to avoid possible injury) but, can't have everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 O'Gara is pretty irrelevant, but a third-rounder for Holden is about right. O'Gara is a local boy though! fine with this trade. Maybe he'll get games while we tank the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddynyc Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Bye bye Nick and thanks for the memories, so we got a 3rd considering we got him for a fourth. Next ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryBiv Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 This morning I woke up with a strong feeling that today was the day McD would be traded. Toronto could use him desperately and they certainly have a wealth of assets that we need. Aquiring McD could put Toronto instantly in SERIOUSLY strong contention. Wouldn't you think? I think they need him more, than wanting Taveras (which has been rumoured). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Don't know anything about O'Gara, but a third rounder is a great return by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Falco Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 has been for years. True, but this season Holden was the only one able to hold a spot next to McD. Also there?s this: @rickcarpiniello O'Gara, by the way, is expected to join the Rangers immediately, as opposed to being assigned to Hartford. #NYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pws85nyr Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 A fair return IMO. If Kempny gets a 3rd, Holden should as a minimum. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 My feeling about this trade will turn on whether O'Gara was a Rangers or Islanders fan growing up. Born in Massapequa. Charlie McAvoy is from LI but was a Rangers fan (sure wouldn't mind him wanting to play for us at some point). -5 in 8 games for a good team this year. Hate to call a Yalie a "used puck bag," but that's pretty much it. My gut was that we would get a third rounder for Holden. Watching him perpetrate a terrible give away in Ottawa last weekend, I thought "with all the scouts here he just went from commanding a third round pick to a fourth rounder." Fortunately, the scouts were forgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slobberknocker Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 better than i would have thought. hopefully a sign of better offers to come going into the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
